Gaurav K. Goswami - The Stem Cell Cure: Remake Your Body and Mind

Patient Testimonials

Doctor Goswami was such a great find as I was at the point of giving up my cherished trail running and climbing pursuits. Well after two stem cell treatments I am back at it, and am looking forward to many more years of joy. I greatly appreciated the care he took explaining in detail the procedure, the care in execution, and the many caring follow up calls. He is the best! We are excited that many more will learn and gain more knowledge about stem cells through this wonderful book.

Fascinating read. As a successful recipient of stem cell treatment for my shoulder, it was very rewarding to learn about the science behind The Stem Cell Cure. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would love to stay active and avoid surgery.

I tore my entire knee playing football in college and was trending toward replacement. The stem cell procedure was a breeze. After six months, I could see regrown cartilage with improvements in motion. I knew there had to be a better route than cutting myself open again with another surgery. This book helps distill important concepts of stem cell therapy, I recommend it to every athlete and non-athlete.

The body is a cell state in which every cell is a citizen. Disease is merely the conflict of the citizens of the state brought about by the action of external forces and every cell arises from another cell.

Preface

From the turn of the century, stem cells have been a burning topic. That will continue for the next several years. With anything new comes a whole range of opinionsresponses that may or may not be rooted in the facts. Stem cells are making news, sometimes for the right reasons and other times for the wrong reasons. There are advocates who swear by stem cells and groups that denounce them. All of this can get very confusing for you, the consumer. How do you separate fact from fiction? That was the underlying motivation in deciding to write this book. We have tried to present the foundations as you consider stem cell treatments. We will address various conditions that can potentially be helped with stem cell treatments. Unlike other books on stem cells, we have tried to be as objective as possible. We dont advocate a particular type of treatment. Our goal is to provide you with as comprehensive an introduction to the world of stem cells as possible.

Nikola Tesla championed electromagnetic theory. But it took years to apply that discovery to cell phones and electric transportation. A similar revolution in medicine is taking place. In technology, the basic concepts of physics were discovered long ago. In medicine we have also known for as long that the fundamental units of our body are cells. Its at the cellular level that things go wrong. This ultimately manifests in disease. We have overused pharmaceuticals and complicated surgeries to fix our health. While both of these have and will continue to play a role in certain conditions, the majority of our day-to-day medical needs can be addressed without them.

Introducing the Authors

It is rare for a physician and his patient to join hands and write about their experiences. One author was a patient and the other his physician. From two different vantage points, we hope you will get a balanced view of where things stand. For the physician in the book, Dr. Goswami, the journey has spread across continents, clinics, hospitals, university medical centers, and specialties. Dr. Goswami is cross-trained in both surgery and then interventional radiology. These trainings complement each other. While the role of a surgeon is clear, that of an interventional radiologist is often poorly understood. Unlike the radiologists who read imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, or mammograms, interventional radiologists perform minimally invasive procedures using imaging guidance. Utilizing X-ray, ultrasound, and CT guidance allows them to offer techniques beyond open surgery.

A surgeon at heart, Dr. Goswami embraced the mindset that a surgeon dies with his scrubs on. The underlying guiding principle through all his professional and personal development has been about patient care, providing the best and most advanced treatments. Sports is the ultimate eponym for performance. An athlete has to be on stage in front of other people. All other professions can be disguised. Performance, both good and bad, is not always visible. Certainly not in real time. This can breed mediocrity and apathy especially in a healthcare system that at times offers very little incentive to excel. The system promotes volume at the cost of quality. Middlemen in the system grab major profits. They dont often contribute to better patient care.

Dr. Goswami was naturally drawn to sports and athletes. This meant going outside the constraints of mainstream medicine, not an easy route and certainly not the path to riches. One thing never wavered, finding the best treatments for his patients. During multiple sabbaticals over a three-year period, Dr. Goswami traveled, read, learned, and observed natural healing. He realized the potential of ones own stem cells. Much of this process involved unlearning what mainstream medicine had taught him. It was a journey that helped Dr. Goswami not only find the true meaning of healing but also regain his joy in the practice of medicine.

It is unfair for a physician to claim all the credit for successful outcomes. There are some patients who do not do as well. A true physician always learns from patients who have poor outcomes or unexpected complications. Successful patients contribute to their own well-being by taking care of their bodies and focusing on performance. Successful patients fade from memory. The unsuccessful ones stay with the physician for the rest of his life.
