The science of self-defence
At Wellbeing, we believe in your body's capacity to repair itself. We do not advocate the use of material taken from other individuals or embryos, and the approach we encourage doesn't involve the transplantation of whole cells at all. Instead, we promote the benefits of cell-free therapy, utilising elements naturally secreted by a proprietary population of your own pro-regenerative cells.
Over twenty-five years of research by the Wellbeing scientific team and a multitude of independent studies from around the world have shown that it is these secretions and not whole cells themselves that play the key role in stimulating the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue in a wide range of pathologies.
Areas of treatment
Sports Medicine
Injuries cost the sports industry many millions of dollars annually but, more importantly, they adversely affect results and the athletes’ lives. Of course, you don't have to be a pro to suffer from the effects of an injury - not being able play your favourite sport for any length of time can be devastating for any amateur sportsman or sportswoman.
Cell-free therapy can act on sports injuries by stimulating repair mechanisms, promoting tissue re-growth and modulating scar tissue (old injuries). The therapy can work on its own, or help speed up recovery following surgery. The Wellbeing team has successfully helped a significant number of top professional athletes, significantly reducing recovery times.
Neurodegenerative Conditions
Most degenerative conditions, particularly those affecting the brain and the central nervous system, are caused by the immune system malfunctioning and attacking healthy cells, leading to a gradual deterioration in the patient’s condition over time. Many of them, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, are thought to have no known cure.
However, Wellbeing has assisted a significant number of clients with these conditions – not only helping to slow down the advance of the disease but also, in some cases, reversing the effects to the extent that many have had the quality of their lives improved considerably due to cell-free therapy.
Optimal Health
Our bodies age and deteriorate primarily because our tissues lose cells faster than our stem cells can replace them resulting in damaged molecules and cells which become toxic to the body and prevent normal organ function. Over time, the blood supply to our tissues deteriorates which causes additional functional deficits throughout the body.
Cell-free infusions can stimulate your body to renew and replace damaged tissue with fresh healthy cells. Damaged molecules and cells are removed to optimise organ function, and the blood supply to all tissue throughout your body is improved. This can lead to extensive tissue and organ repair, an enhanced immune system and a general boost to your vitality.
Cell-Free Therapy v Stem Cell Treatment
Efficacy
In a standard cell transplant, the surviving cells will have modest efficacy by producing some secretions in the local environment. With Wellbeing technology, the number and content of secretions can be optimized and dramatically improved under controlled laboratory conditions and delivered back to the patient as a cell-free infusion to maximize efficacy and safety.
Ethical
Controversy over the use of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) has dogged the stem cell industry since its inception. Cell-free therapy uses only the secretions made by the patient’s own cells – no ESCs are used in research or clinical application.
Safety
Stem cell treatments involve transplanting whole cells which can result in them turning into the wrong type of cell, or tumours forming. In addition, some stem cell clinics use cells from other people, embryos or even animals, which can lead to immunological issues. Wellbeing does not recommend whole cells and uses only the client’s own biological material.
Legal
There is no significant alteration to the cells taken from the patient, and it is “homologous use” – material is being taken from a person’s blood and then returned into their blood: similar to PRP, it is a natural biologic rather than a drug.
Systemic
Stem cell transplantation generally consists of a localized injection which can have benefits, often of an anti-inflammatory nature. By applying cell-free therapy systemically (usually via IV), the primary area of tissue damage is still targeted, but the repair and regeneration will also take place in a number of additional and important ways.
Multiple Treatments
Standard stem cell treatments consist of a single, one-off procedure. If unsuccessful, no further action can be taken other than simply paying for the treatment again. When practitioners use Wellbeing therapy, clients are guaranteed two initial infusions, with sufficient material available from an initial blood draw for multiple additional treatments.
Testimonials
Our team has helped hundreds of clients over the past twelve years, with many coming by way of personal referrals from former patients or by recommendations from doctors and sports medicine practitioners. Following a successful consultation, treatments are provided by expert medical practitioners at licensed private clinics.
Jimmy Graham, Tight End, New Orleans Saints
“After I ruptured my patella tendon, I had tried a standard stem cell treatment, but had minimal gains and so was very sceptical – it sounded like a fantasy. After my first infusion, it was crazy because for the first time in 18 months my knee didn't hurt. Wellbeing will be the first people I visit anytime I get an injury or need surgery."
Jameis Winston, Quarterback, Cleveland Browns
“Wellbeing International is in the healing business! My experience was world-class and simple. Having chronic pain is traumatic and depressing. Working with Wellbeing and going through a series of treatments has allowed me to experience a new form of joy, one that I haven’t experienced even when I was a child. Thank you Wellbeing for your commitment to healing my mind, body and soul!"
Garrett McNamara, big wave surfer & star of “100 Foot Wave”
"It has been revolutionary! I had a sore neck for the last ten years, I’ve had a sore back, my shoulders have been sore, mainly due to inflammation and so many wipeouts. First treatment it got better, second treatment – gone! After six years of not wanting to surf – I’m finally feeling confident to go out on big days and I’m really excited for the rest of the year.”
