Regenerative Medicine: Building a Better, Healthier Body
Our own CAOM member Dr Ted Harrison has written this easy-to-read book with clear explanations for the interested public.
This book introduces the reader to the new field of regenerative medicine: a multidisciplinary specialty that uses the body’s own repair mechanisms to functionally heal previously irreparable tissues or organs. The author first explains the mechanisms of regenerative therapy and the use of modalities like stem cells and platelet-rich plasma. He then goes on to give descriptions of regenerative techniques already in clinical use today, such as the Vampire Facelift, snoreplasty, the O-Shot and and prolotherapy.. He devotes another section of the book to the many therapies that are still in testing, but about to break out into the mainstream.
