My
story
started
in
January,
2019.
I
was
diagnosed
with
Kidney
Disease
that
month
and
over
the
following
nine
months
my
eGFR
(estimated
glomerular
filtration
rate
number)
went
from
normal
(60+)
to
32,
which
was
about
17
points
from
Stage
five
kidney
failure.
Another
15
point
drop
meant
dialysis.
My
Nephrologist
said
I
wasn’t
a
good
candidate
for
either
dialysis
or
a
kidney
transplant
because
I
was
71
years
old
at
that
time.
I
researched
Stem
Cell
Therapy
because
I
had
read
about
it
in
2007
while
at
MD
Anderson
Hospital
in
Houston,
Texas
for
Prostate
Cancer
Treatment.
The
hospital
was
actually
doing
Stem
Cell
Therapy
for
a
multitude
of
medical
issues
so
I
knew
I
needed
to
research
the
potential
for
Kidney
Disease.
I
found
Orthobiologics
in
Tampa
Bay,
Florida
and
after
talking
to
Nurse
Practitioner
Carol
from
the
Clinic,
I
was
convinced
it
would
help.
I
arrived
at
the
clinic
in
September
with
my
eGFR
at
32.
I
was
in
Florida
for
two
days
and
returned
home.
Nine
days
after
my
Stem
Cell
Therapy
I
was
in
the
hospital
back
home
to
have
a
Stent
placed
in
my
heart.
The
nurse
drew
blood
and
I
told
her
it
would
not
be
good
because
of
my
low
eGFR.
She
came
back
with
my
results
and
said
my
eGFR
wasn’t
that
bad,
it
was
60!
I
told
her
that
wasn’t
possible
so
she
showed
me
the
test
results.
It
showed
to
be
60
just
like
she
had
told
me
a
minute
earlier!
NINE
DAYS
AFTER
TREATMENT
AT
ORTHOBIOLOGICS
WITH
MY
STEM
CELLS,
MY
eGFR
WAS
60!
IT
GETS
BETTER!
TWO
MONTHS
LATER,
IT
WAS
…84…!
THE
ONLY
THING
I
DID
WAS
THE
STEM
CELL
THERAPY
AT
ORTHOBIOLOGICS
AND
My
EGFR
WAS
NOW
84!
I
stayed
at
that
number
for
a
year
and
saw
a
little
decline.
Each
time
that
has
happened,
I
have
returned
to
Orthobiologics
for
additional
treatment,
and
each
time
it
has
helped
me.
In
fact,
I
am
at
Orthobiologics
for
additional
treatment
at
this
time.
Today’s
date
is
August
30,
2022.
I’ve
been
receiving
treating
with
Orthobiologics
for
three
years
and
I
am
maintaining
adequate
kidney
function
because
of
that
treatment!
IT
WORKS!
I
am
not
related
to
anyone
at
Orthobiologics
nor
am
I
being
compensated
for
my
testimony.
I
am
just
a
person
who
is
overjoyed
because
of
their
help
and
my
results!
Seeking
treatment
at
Orthobiologics
was
obviously
one
of
the
best
decisions
I’ve
ever
made
and
I
am
eternally
thankful
for
their
help.
