00:00Eddie, it's good to see you again, man. My name is Eddie Robinson. I'm born and raised in Akron, Ohio.
00:04I live in Florida. Pro athlete. Started off in powerlifting. Took a few world records. Started competing as a bodybuilder.
00:12Went to the USA. I went to America. And then I signed with Joe Weider and went on to the
00:17IFBB Pro for 17 years to meet on IFBB Pro stage. I also took the World Arm Wrestling Championships in
00:231997 in Orlando. So that's pretty much me in a nutshell.
00:29I've had some serious injuries through my career. Of course, you know, you're always tearing something because, you know, bodybuilding,
00:35powerlifting, arm wrestling, you know, you're doing all kinds of different types of style training, heavy training to maintain body
00:43mass, whatever. So it's a lot of wear and tail. My shoulders took a lot of hits, especially in the
00:47bench press. You know, that's not really a natural move. I mean, there's certain ways to bench, but I tell
00:52you, it takes a lot of stress on the shoulders. And that's one reason why my shoulders are really degenerative,
00:58especially the rotator cuff.
00:59AC joints have been cut, have been wired down. I mean, I've had so many repairs on the rotator cuffs,
01:07AC joints. I had a right full hip replacement. A lot of it is basically do wear and tear. You
01:12know, I'm the guy who did five, 600 pound front squats for 12, 15 reps.
01:15I'm the guy who squatted 875 to maintain the 32, 34 inch thighs I carried on the stage. So all
01:22that wear and tear, just like I say, you just put a lot of arthritis, a lot of wear and
01:28tear on the joints.
01:28So the pain is all over the body. There's not any joint that doesn't hurt at this time of the
01:35game, being 61 years old. And I'm here today, basically for the pain that I've been having in my shoulders,
01:41in my neck, and also my lower back L405, which I've had a fusion done there.
01:45I've known this is my second bout of stem cell. And I've seen a great amount of relief. From the
01:52first one, I went to another place to have stem cell, which I shouldn't have.
01:58And I came over here to R3, which was a tremendous difference. And I tell you, I don't think that
02:03all stem cells are created equal, without a doubt.
02:05I'm a firm example. When I left here the last time, I went three months, and man, I tell you
02:10what, I was able to sleep. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep on my sides. I'm up
02:13all night on the clock.
02:14The pain relief that I actually got off of our three stem cells the first three months was amazing. I
02:21couldn't believe. I mean, I'm not just saying this. I took everything.
02:23I've done everything in therapy-wise, so now I'm doing the stem cell. I've been finding great relief. And that's
02:28why I'm a firm believer in coming back and getting it done.
02:30Because I'm still 61. I'm not going to get any better. I'm going to go downhill until I die. So
02:36I'm going to fight it. I'm going to give my stem cell as long as I can.
02:39And I'm fighting the battle to my end. And I'm going to keep getting stem cells to my end.
02:43You know, my advice for any athlete, bodybuilding, pilot, or football, basically, when you have an injury, first thing an
02:49orthopedist wants to say is,
02:50I can clean it up. We can repair this. Surgery's bull****. Don't go for surgery. Try the stem cell. Because
02:57I'm going to tell you something.
02:58I wish I would have known this back then, instead of having some of the surgeries I have.
03:02Because I've seen a lot of my pro-athlete friends who actually didn't go under the knife.
03:06They had stem cell done. And they did not get surgery done. They healed up 100%.
03:11You know, surgery is the point. You've got a 50-50. You can actually be worse off after the surgery.
03:17So why take that chance? So my advice was, do the stem cell first before you do the surgery first.
03:24Because you're going to be too late. You can actually make something worse than it already is.
03:27Then you've got to try and correct it with stem cell. You know?
03:30So save the money. Get the stem cell first.
03:32And a lot of times, usually I would say 80% of the time, you're going to not need any
03:36surgery.
03:36Before I came to you guys, R3 stem cell, getting up in the morning, just trying to get a good
03:42night's sleep.
03:43You know, I would lay there at night and say, God, please.
03:45I mean, how many times I've got to try and adjust the pillow to get the shoulder knock to drop.
03:49So I have to concentrate on, it's a job.
03:52I've got to concentrate on positioning my neck properly to keep it aligned.
03:55Put a pillow underneath my armpit to make sure that I can take some of the pressure.
03:59Because I'm a side, I can't sleep on my back to save my life. I won't sleep.
04:02So I have to sleep on my side. So I've got to position myself.
04:05And if I don't, of course, I don't get a good night's sleep. I'm throbbing in pain.
04:09But, you know, getting up in the morning, you know, you just feel worn out from sleeping on the shoulders
04:14all night.
04:15And the throb and the aching from the neck and the shoulders.
04:18And after the stem cell that I had, I've noticed when I woke up, you know, it was there, but
04:24it wasn't there.
04:25I didn't have that full body ache and pain that I had.
04:29You know, I ain't going to say the stem cell, do it in your free, clear pain.
04:32You're going to have pain. I mean, it's not a miracle thing.
04:35But I tell you, from being able to sleep is a big plus to not being able to sleep.
04:40To waking up and not feeling the stiffness and the soreness, then waking up hunched over so you can finally
04:47get mobility again.
04:49That's a big difference, you know.
04:51And I believe the stem cell, when it goes in there and it targets those areas, it takes that inflammation
04:54out.
04:55And it does its job to heal that torn ligament or tendon or whatever it may be.
04:59It's called a reconstruction repair.
05:01Thank you. I appreciate R3 and all you guys have done for me so far.
05:04Man, it's a godsend and I appreciate it.
