Dr. Khan identified the chronic pain Milos feels throughout his body, yet the former bodybuilder confessed wanting to live a healthier and more daunting life. He revealed, “I would like to live like a lion. Not like a sheep,” to Dr. Akhan. The doctor then replied, “He has chronic pain almost all over his body. So we are gonna do systematic treatments, with intravenous stem cells. Fallistatin gene therapy. And then we are also going to localize injections with stem cells and exosomes, as well as peptides to make sure we do a targeted approach for structural damage.”
