Heat win

After the game on the news they had a treatment were they took your blood and then took something outa of it then injected it in knees...backs and shoulders........was done in Germery.
Does anybody out there see it and what it was called.
I was half awake and missed the name of what it was called.....but a lot of athletes said it took the pain and they could still play with no pain and was healed by it.
Would be nice if it would work for my shoulders.
One guy had it done cause his back pain was so bad and after was pain free.
I think it was 5,000 dollars for the treatment and can last for 2 years or a lot longer.
Takes the Inflammation away and let the muscles heel.
Would be nice to get off pain meds.
Anyone see it?....and any info would be nice and some doctors in the USA were doing it under a different procedure name so the FDA could not do anything about it.

Wise you should know what I'am talking about here.....am sure you know what it was called.
Thanks if you know.....
I think it was called something like IL1RA for arthrits and inflamation.
A lot of NBA AND FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND BASEBALL players are using it from what it said.

Tracy McGrady was one of the best basketball players in the world, a seven-time All-Star forward and a scoring machine, until he suffered a devastating knee injury in 2008.

When McGrady returned to the game after two operations on his left knee, he was a shadow of the player he had been before.

"It was tough to deal with because at one minute, you're playing so well, you know, on top of your game, the next minute, you're not even valuable no more," he said. "Where do I go from here?"

McGrady went to Germany. (video on link)

The basketball star met with Dr. Peter Wehling, an orthopedics and sports medicine physician in Düsseldorf. Wehling discovered a new way to treat knee injuries, back pain and osteoarthritis with a controversial new treatment virtually unknown in the United States and not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It's called Regenokine injections.

"It's a combination of proteins that attacks, in a very specific way, inflammation and pain and destruction of tissue," Wehling said.

Regenokine's key ingredient is the patient's own blood. Wehling explained that he uses a machine to extract the body's natural anti-inflammatory proteins called "InteRleukin 1-Receptor Antagonist" or "IL1-RA" proteins. Those proteins, which essentially block the inflammation receptors, are then re-injected into the injury site.

"The re-injecting [of proteins] causes a stop of inflammation," Wehling said. "You have an improvement in function and a significant decrease in pain."

Wehling said Regenokine injections are effective for two to four years, and sometimes longer.

McGrady had the treatment on his bad knee in the summer 2010, and about a week after the procedure, he said he could feel the difference.

"Not only did it feel stronger, less pain," McGrady said. "Sure enough, it felt better…since the time I hurt my knee, it's the best I've ever felt," ...

You think the FDA wants this?.....the FDA is run by the drug companys for medicine....just think how much money they would lose over pain meds.
I don't have 10 years or more to wait for the lousy FDA.
A lot of us don't and if we wait to long so much damage is done it will probably be to late for it to work.
It is your own blood....how much damage could it do.
A speed up by the FDA should be top Priority.
