Alternative therapy for autoimmune, neurological and other issues

An innovator in the health sector that aims to improve the lives of veterans and civilians with advanced therapies and protocols is the special guest on this week’s episode of The American Legion Tango Alpha Lima podcast.

Eric Stoffers founded BioXcellerator with the goal of treating autoimmune and degenerative diseases, as well as orthopedic, spine and disc, and neurological conditions. He was inspired to pursue his career path in part by his grandmother’s experience with traditional pharmaceuticals.

“That was the beginning,” he said, but noted that he made a transition as an entrepreneur when he was working with a group of doctors in a real estate deal.

“When I got to see the patient testimonials and the help they were providing, there were some stories that really tugged on my heartstrings,” he said. “They’ve spent their entire lives helping people.” 

BioXcellerator has helped a wide range of patients, including previous podcast guest Omar “Crispy” Avila, who has emerged from severely disabled veteran to powerlifting champion. Additionally, the company has helped other athletes, entertainers and others with its stem-cell process.

“It is both safe and effective for a lot of indications,” he says, noting those receiving the treatment have to go outside the U.S. since there are limitations on the therapies here. “The efficacy of the treatments are incredible for things like orthopedic injuries, autoimmune disease — the most common ones — and neurological ones. Our focus is on regular people like you and I.”

Also, co-hosts Stacy Pearsall, Adam Marr and Joe Worley discuss:

• National Ice Cream Day is July 21, which this year is a Sunday — or sundae?

• A Be the One suicide prevention awareness walk nets a Bravo Zulu.

• A return to the draft?
