Retired FBI agent Scott Payne thought he was done. After 28 years in law enforcement, his body was wrecked, and he figured he would never really train again. Then he came to CPI, and six months later he was doing pull-ups with no pain and no pills. He told the whole story to Joe Rogan on JRE #2295, and again on the CPI podcast.
Scott’s career was hard on him in a way most people never experience. Undercover narcotics work, SWAT training, field ops, years tracking cartels at the border. The physical bill came due with two lumbar fusions, six shoulder surgeries, a popped bicep, a total hip replacement, and a hospital stay in the US that nearly killed him. By the end he was living on pain pills, ibuprofen and Aleve, taking them, in his words, for breakfast.
At CPI, after his MRIs came back, the team treated him with 20 million stem cells in his right shoulder, 10 million in his left, and 70 million in his neck, where three levels were damaged, plus another 120 million through an IV. That is 220 million stem cells in a single visit.
Six months later, the change was hard to argue with. In his own words, his range of motion is insane, he sleeps a lot better, and the biggest result of all is being pain free. He has not needed a single anti-inflammatory since the week before he arrived.
He is back to 20 pull-ups in a row, and one day out in the yard with his dog it caught him by surprise. He threw a ball and thought, I have not been able to throw a ball like that in forever.
Scott does not hold back when he talks about it. He says stem cells gave him his life back. There was even a day he told his wife he officially felt great, and she told him to write it down on the calendar.
Could stem cells help you?
Every story starts with a conversation. If chronic pain or an old injury is holding you back, the CPI team will talk through your situation and whether stem cell therapy is a fit. It is a free consultation, no pressure.
