The abdominal fat is finally almost gone and I read this.

Now what?

Jack Nicklaus' secret stem cell therapy

Fast forward to February, 2016. At the Isar Klinikum in Munich, Germany, Nicklaus was prepped for the procedure. After getting a shot of local anesthesia and light sedation, he underwent liposuction on his abdominal area to harvest the stem cells, which come from the blood vessels. The fat in the human body is a rich source of these blood vessels. Three ounces of fat was extracted from his abdomen.

The abdominal fat was then strained with an enzyme called Matrase to break down fat tissue and release the pure stem cells in large numbers (roughly 75 million cells) without modifying or changing the nature of the cells. The slurry mix was then spun down through a centrifuge to get a concentrated islet of stem cells. This process took about an hour. After a quick check for contamination, the cells were injected back into Nicklaus's body.

Nicklaus received 10 injections in his back on each side of his lumbar spine, or lower back, and four in his cervical spine, or neck. Out of the whole process, Nicklaus said the liposuction was the worst part. "I mean, I was black and blue from the middle of my chest all the way across my hip down to my groin. And uh, it was not pretty for about 10 days."

While he didn't feel "immediate relief," he did notice "the pain he used to feel while actively playing golf, had subsided after a few months".


The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Wow. This was two years ago. Makes me wonder how this technology has advanced since then. I wonder what other ways it can be used. Maybe won't need steroid shots in my shoulder if this would be better, though more expensive.

Glad he's feeling better. I thought he was dead.
So, win-win.
