Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Well, welcome to Calm the Chaos, and today we're going to talk about tangoing stem cells.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: Yes, this is spicy and this is geeky, and I kind of can't help myself.
- 0:13SPEAKER_00: Several weeks ago, my wife and I went down to Argentina, and we went down to support a dear friend and one of my important clients, uh, Garnett Morris.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: He's been involved in helping health programs all over the world, and part of this involved the maligia method, which is uh one of the most remarkable stem cell research regenerative method uh medicine programs there are.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: And so I was not exactly sure what to expect, but what I found was actually pretty surprising.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: First of all, if you haven't been to Argentina, wow, what an incredible place.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: It's kind of a blend of Para, Spain, with a real Latin flair to it.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: And it was really entertaining.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: I think of most significance is when my son took us down to uh the docks, and we got to experience the Argentino, uh Argentine tango.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, how spicy is that?
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: And even I'm not gonna go all the way there, else I'm gonna start blushing.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: And I don't want all the grandmas to blush with me, so here we go.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Um, this actually, this dance first was formed by all the sellers uh would practice these dances as they were coming across on the ships.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: And then when they got there, they were pretty, well, they were pretty steamed up, to put it mildly.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: And the ones that they found that would really steam it up and have that tension with them were actually some of the um, maybe, well, ladies of the evening who were also in spicy red colors.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: And so they developed this tension dance that was just like beautiful.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: It was like, oh, so much tension, sexual tension, but also mechanical tension.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: And it was just absolutely exhilarating to watch the bright colors and the movements and the dance and the flow.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: And uh this was followed by actually our stem cells tangoine.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: You know, when you hear stem cells, what you kind of think is you put these magical little uh cells into your body and they instantly go to work.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: But little builders go to work.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: What I was shocked is actually that's not how it works.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna geek out on you here for one second and explain a little bit the method that takes place.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: The first is extracting your own stem cells and growing your own stem cells in this method.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: The next thing is to actually remove and collate your blood and then actually get the T cells and to get the immune response cells, so they have a bunch of those.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: At that point, they'll take and they'll grow them.
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: Then they will take and they will activate those immune response cells and trigger with a little catalyst, which is typically a peptide of some type, to say, no, no, we're going after cartilage cells, or no, no, we're going to rebuild very aggressively vascular cells.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: At that point, they put it into the immune response cells go to the in the place of my shoulder.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: Oh boy, that was pretty painful.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: They put it in there, and then all the little stem cells are just like little drones would go to work excavating and working, and man, they would go crazy creating this incredible histamine response of tension in your body.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: And I thought, oh my gosh, you know, what they're really doing is this aggressive little tango in my body.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: Now, it's only been uh three or four weeks, so I don't know.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: I haven't grown any new eyeballs or anything yet.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: But fundamentally, I know that this theory is really going to work and I could feel it working in my body.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: I guess the conclusion that I came to is we have to have this tension in our body.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: And we can't just have an academic uh on all the time or a off all the time.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: We have to have tangoing and tension to actually really grow.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: And it's whether it's a spicy dance, whether it's stem cells, or whether it's something significant you're attempting to accomplish in your life.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: I hope you're enjoying this episode of Calm the Chaos.

- 4:36SPEAKER_00: We're always tangoing, and if we're not tangoing, then we're waltzing, and I've kind of concluded the waltz is just a little bit boring.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: So uh I guess you could just take and eat perfect all the time and exercise the same uh plan.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: But the reality is, is if you're doing my chigong with me and stretching and then doing core work and then walking, it it's actually a tangle because it diversifies the muscle groups.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: Health and food, the same thing.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: It's a tangle, the balance of eating healthy and eating delicious.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: There's some natural tension in the body with that.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: Spicy relationships, and I'm talking about really good healthy viper relationships.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's you, grandma and grandpa, and that's me and my wife, I hope.
- 5:27SPEAKER_00: Ooh, gotta go explore some more of that tango there.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: But uh, it involves a give and a take, a subtly doing the interest of the other individual, putting chemistry and effort into the relationship and into the bedroom, and also into the communication in the form of a tango.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Health is a tango.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Spirituality in developing the true nature of our relationship with whatever form that may look for me.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: I'm a deep Christian, but that revol that resolves a balance of learning and leaning, fasting and praying.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: It involves a matter of me spiritually growing the muscle and then also then going and exercising and sometimes ethically failing, which means repenting, which isn't a beating whipping thing.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: It's actually just a matter of maybe learning and growing to do a little bit better.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: For me, the tension and the excitement of the tango is far funer.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe not the jitterbug.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: That looks pretty fun too, although it's just a little bit of movement, but it's actually far uh more stabilizing than than a waltz and a boring just circular movement.
- 6:41SPEAKER_00: So let's not be afraid to grow.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: Let's not be afraid to have the tension.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: Let's not be afraid to actually get in and have some strain in relationships, in body, in health.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: Don't be afraid of the response, the the tension response that occurs in the case of my shoulders, is like they were kind of so sore I couldn't hardly lift my arms for a couple of days.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: But then, oh wow, now it's kind of rebuilt and I could feel where the construction workers took place.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: In the case of your business or a family relationship or a difficult conversation, you're gonna have to have the tension in there to actually have real result occur.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: And don't balk away from that.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: Just realize that that tension, that uh that visceral response is part of what actually does the healing and the strengthening in your life.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: All right, so that's our calm the chaos thought for today.
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: And I'm excited to share uh a next session with you.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: And I'm just wishing you a wonderful day.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: Don't be afraid to go make big, glorious changes in your life and face the fears that uh that that scare the dickens out of you and go forward with confidence and always look forward to hearing from you.
