Hello, rational Wellness podcasters.

Today we’re having a discussion with Dr. Hari Khalsa, a chiropractor in Los Angeles who has some innovative ways to treat his patients. So Dr. Khalsa, or should I call you Dr. Hari or Dr. Khalsa?

Dr. Khalsa: It’s well, it’s Har Hari. Get it clear. It’s Har Hari. It’s Har

Dr. Weitz: Hari. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah.

Dr. Weitz: Okay. Tell us about yourself. How did you get into health care? Tell us about your journey.

Dr. Khalsa: I grew up here in Southern California and born here, born and raised in LA and didn’t really have much knowledge of holistic healing when I was growing up.  I, my parents were pretty much into western medicine. I was kind of gearing up to go to medical school when I was in high school. I actually worked in a heart valve factory. My first job was, I was a tech in a heart valve factory. Okay. And I was in the return department, if you know what that means. 

Dr. Weitz: A lot of people complaining, right?

Dr. Khalsa: A lot of people were actually dying. Oh, okay, I see. I got it. Most of my days were spent with court reporters and lawyers going over the damage that the surgeons did to the heart valve. They ended up stroking the patient out. Oh boy. Yeah, okay. But anyway, I ended up going to the University of Oregon.  And I had, I, you know, I was kind of a daredevil. I don’t know if you’ve seen any [00:02:00] of those videos from like the seventies where the kids, you know, kids in the seventies were pretty much like little daredevils. Like I was exactly like that. I was like an evil Knievel. Like I had three major injuries in one year.

And I’ve never had any physical pain in my whole life. And by the time I was 20, I was racked in pain. I was going to yoga class and the yoga teacher said, why don’t you go to a chiropractor? And I’m like, what is a chiropractor? I didn’t even know what the term was. But he, that chiropractor fixed me up and a lot more than the medical doctor who just wanted to give me drugs which I just intuitively knew that I didn’t want to take drugs.  So the chiropractic opened my eyes to the whole, you know, holistic healing model. He was actually a chiropractor that was, It was both a naturopath and a chiropractor. So I got to see the whole realm of naturopath and chiropractor, my very first doctor, and that excited me. I was very excited about, you know, what he was able to accomplish with me as a patient.  And so that kind of launched me into this whole world. That was 1980.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah. So I ended up going, you know, and that, I liked that guy so much that I was like, I want to go to the school he went to. So I ended up, he went to the Western States Chiropractic School up in Portland, Oregon. And I didn’t even look into the school.  I’m like, that’s my guy. That’s my school. That’s where my guy went. Didn’t even look into anything about the school or anything. And that’s where I went. And I quickly learned that when he was at the school, it was a chiropractic and a naturopathic school in one school. And they had divided the school into two schools, into national naturopathic and then western states chiropractic.  And I was a little bit disappointed because I really wanted the naturopathic along with the chiropractic. So I kind of had [00:04:00] to learn all this naturopathic stuff that I do now. on my own. Okay. Just, you know, you know, piecemeal, like going to different workshops, seminars, biohacking events, you know, for the last, what, 40, 44 years I’ve been like, you know, studying this stuff, right?  Right. That’s kind of my history. Yeah, a little bit.

Dr. Weitz: Sounds good. So now you have this chiropractic clinic in Los Angeles. And how do you incorporate the naturopathic and some of the other natural healing modalities into your treatments?

Dr. Khalsa: That’s a good question. You know, I got trained in AK, you know, muscle testing back in the day with Versendaal.  Do you remember that guy? What’s the name? Versendaal. It was standard process. Oh,

Dr. Weitz: I heard the name.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah. Yeah. Back in the day, we’re talking back in the eighties. Yeah. So I got a lot of training in that and, you know, touch for health and, you know, a lot of muscle testing. So I started my practice off doing that kind of [00:05:00] technique.  Although what I found is I started, you know, incorporating a lot of herbs. I was working with all the different, you know, vendors for, you know, Apex Energetics, Standard Process, you know, all the nutrition that we do as chiropractors, right? You know, I kind of got burned out on that. A lot of my patients.  You know, in LA it’s funny because we got a lot of vegans and vegetarians, you know, and standard process is very heavy in the organ meats, right? It kind of killed my practice, you know, that side of my practice. I was like, I was kind of bummed because I really like standard process. But anyway I ended up learning from a naturopathic friend of mine, about technology they use in Germany.

It’s called CyberScan. It’s on our website. You can do a deeper dive if you want, but basically it’s a biofeedback system. I pretty much like to start with my patients with that because it’s like a full body analysis. It shows us all the underlying things. pretty much as [00:06:00] comprehensively as what I was used to doing with muscle testing.  I, you know, I can identify all the organs, systems that are weak you know, if they’ve got pathologies pathogens toxins, deficiencies. We’re looking for everything with Cyberscan, so that’s a really comprehensive test. And I always pretty much try to start with everyone with that.

Dr. Weitz: How does that Cyberscan work?

Dr. Khalsa: The patient puts their hand on a plate, and it generates a scalar wave, which is kind of a woo quantum physics type term, but it’s basically like a wave of energy. It’s not EMF though, that’s the unique thing with the CyberScan. It’s not like a lot of these testing devices, they use electricity to run through the body, right?  This doesn’t put any electrical energy at all. It’s a pure scalar wave, which is generated by a series of Tesla coils, it’s [00:07:00] just a coil array. And so that what happens when the patient puts their hand on their The scaler wave has, the machine has the ability to actually capture the energy of that patient in the machine.  And now that’s the, you know, that is the what do you call it? The secret sauce of the cyber scam, I’d say. It’s like, how does it do that? To this day, I really don’t even know. And this borders on woo science, but one thing I can tell you for sure, is the CyberScan is extremely accurate. I’ve been, I’ve probably tested over 10, 000 patients in the last 10 years with the CyberScan and the results are you know, mind blowing, just mind blowing as far as

Dr. Weitz: So give us some examples.  Patient comes in, They put their hand on this thing and then what kinds of results might you get?

Dr. Khalsa: Okay, so just an example, I had a guy let’s see, what was their problem? Oh, this is a sad case, okay? Really sad. The guy, he had developed a duodenal tumor, [00:08:00] okay? Which was causing like a stenosis of the, you know, small intestine, so the food could barely get through, right?  And so I scanned him and the, literally the very first thing that showed up was a stenosis in a small intestine, you know, and then it showed up the series of tumors and blah, blah, blah. And I tell the patients, you know, this is not a medical diagnosis,

Dr. Weitz: all this No. Before he saw you, he didn’t know about the tumors?

Dr. Khalsa: No. He knew about it. He knew about it. Oh, okay. Yeah. But the cyberscan picked it up. On the very first reading, it picked up a stenosis of the intestine. And all the other different symptoms he was having, it picked up all the stuff. You know, you know, so that’s just one example, but I had people who’ve had, you know, face trauma, head trauma.  It’ll pick up details of the trauma they had. You know, it’ll pick up you know, underlying congenital heart. problems that people know that they have. And sometimes they [00:09:00] don’t know, but I had a patient yesterday who knew that he had, he actually had a surgery for it a few years previous to correct a congenital heart problem.  And it should, you know, it picked it up. So it, it’s very accurate. I have no idea how this technology underlying the physics of how it works, but I know this is it, that it doesn’t work. There’s no doubt.

Dr. Weitz: Give us an example of how this helped you to help your patient better.

Dr. Khalsa: Okay basically, that’s great because that’s where we go with this.  So basically, I go through this entire report with them and, you know, we get the picture, the overall picture of what’s going on with that patient. with their hormonal system, their respiratory circulation, nervous system, musculoskeletal, all the different systems of the body. So they get a big download of, hey, this is what’s going on with you, right?  And then what I’ll do is tell them, you know, very specific things. that they can [00:10:00] do at home you know, detox protocols you know, vitamin mineral supplements, depending on what shows up, because, you know, it could show up that they have a zinc deficiency, or B12, or this or that, so they get all of that from their reading, right? Everything they need to know about their nutrition, detox.

Dr. Weitz: Do you ever follow that up with labs to confirm it?

Dr. Khalsa: If they do labs, I don’t do a whole lot of labs. And and to be really honest with you, I find the CyberScan is way more accurate and more detailed than any lab.  that I’ve seen, it gives you way more information, and so I, to me, it’s you know, why waste the time? I mean, I get the data when I scan them. I mean, I’ll look at their labs if they have them, but sometimes I’ll do that, but it’s rare, because the information is It’s way more comprehensive on a Cyberscan.

And then the other thing we do that we offer the patient, although it’s not like a [00:11:00] requirement or anything, but we make a remedy card where we actually put the frequency of their scan on the card. And then the patient wears the card on a necklace and the frequency. Just like a homeopathic, if they were taking something orally, it’s just working on the energy field of their body to help align or correct whatever imbalances there are.

So yeah, that’s kind of the, that’s the overview of it. I’d love to have you do it some point. Cause you’re here in LA. You can come by, I’d love for you to come experience it. Okay. Sounds good. But that’s the core of the analysis. As far as. You know, other things, like I’m a big believer in PEMF, hyperbaric red light as a,

Dr. Weitz: so why are you such a big believer in PEMF?

Dr. Khalsa: Because first of all, it’s helped me more than just about any therapy I’ve ever done but specifically [00:12:00] the pulse, PEMF the pulse, PEMF. is the most powerful high powered PEMF. There’s a big difference in a beamer or any other lower powered unit versus a pulse machine. A pulse machine, first of all, is like 45, 000, so they’re not cheap machines to start with but you’re paying for, you know, results and quality. I got introduced to Pulse, I think it was about eight years ago, at A4M, and I got on a Pulse table, the first time I’d ever been on a Pulse table. No one was in the booth, I turned the thing on. Have you ever been on a Pulse table? No.

Dr. Weitz: I had somebody come by and give me, I’ve had some demos at the office.  One of them was this like oval thing that she put on my stomach. I had another demo where there were these coils that you wrap around your arms.

Dr. Khalsa: I was using the pull the pulse. The one I have is [00:13:00] a bed. It’s a full size bed that you like. And it’s like a zero gravity thing. So it totally hugs your body.  And it’s pumping the PEMF signal through every cell of the body. You know, for you know, primarily what I tell the patients with that is, is it, you know, any disease that you’re dealing with, At the root of that disease is cellular voltage. So if you can raise the cell voltage with a PEMF unit, you’re taking that cell out of a diseased state into a healthy state.

So

Dr. Weitz: that’s the But I mean, how do you know, let’s say they have cancer, how do you know you’re not going to promote more cancer growth?

Dr. Weitz:  And now back to our discussion.

Dr. Khalsa: That’s a good question. You know, we, that when I did my training and they, by the way, Pulse makes no medical claims whatsoever about this. device. The only thing that they make a claim for is cellular exercise, basically working the cell out with magnetic pulse energy, right?  But I can just tell you anecdotally the guy who did our training when we went back to Atlanta to do the training about six years ago, he had just recovered from fourth stage cancer. And the only therapy he did was the pulse machine. So there is some efficacy. And I think in the literature, It shows that it can be effective.

Although

Dr. Weitz: I wouldn’t Speaking of the literature, what kind of scientific studies are there on this?

Dr. Khalsa: There’s [00:16:00] a lot. If you go to PubMed and just put in, you know, type in PMF and in any condition you can think of, there’s a study. You know, there’s over at the time that I was doing the academics on it, it was over 6, 000, probably now it’s probably over 10, 000, you know, there’s a study on, yeah for, you know, just what I’ve seen with myself there’s not been one accident injury back, you know, I, and I’m talking even broken bones and different things that happened to me personally, where I did, you know, where I got on the pulse machine and it healed me in one third of the time.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah. So it’s the heavy hitter. I’d say it’s like the, You know, it’s like the forklift that gets people out of the trench when they’re really down.  Okay. Yeah.

Dr. Weitz: So using this for musculoskeletal injuries, as well as whatever else might be going on.

Dr. Khalsa: For like sprain strain, it helps [00:17:00] fractures heal in like a fraction of the time. Okay. A number of people with fractures, it heals much, much quicker, you know.

Dr. Weitz: Okay. Yeah. . Okay. So what’s the next thing you want to tell us about?

Dr. Khalsa: Hyperbaric,

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: That’s another thing. 

Dr. Weitz: This is a high pressure, oxygen tank. 

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah. Yeah. Getting into high pressure. I, you know, during the pandemic I had a lot of time to do research ’cause there was no patience. I was just like, I was just going down different rabbit holes and and I think it was, I’ve known about chiropractic for decades, or hyperbarics for decades, but I never really thought about it as something I wanted to do in a clinical setting. But then I started seeing these studies that were done in Israel. I don’t know if you’re familiar with ’em, but they showed. A 25 percent increase in telomere length.

Dr. Weitz: Now, the the only thing I would say about that is, my understanding is they were using these hard [00:18:00] tanks with really high levels of pressure, and you have to do it 40 times.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, no, it was, yeah, it’s, yeah, it’s intense, you’re right. It’s actually 60 times. 60 times, okay. 62 hour dives. Wow. But that’s to, you know, what they showed is they increased the telomere length by 25%, which is to me, that’s mind blowing because I’ve been around the biohacking and this community and the most I’ve ever seen You know, with supplements and things like that is maybe 5%, you know, that’s what the kind of the mean level of increasing telomere length is.  If you’re using the high level stuff.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah. We stopped running a telomere length years ago. We’ve been using the true age genetic, yeah.

Dr. Khalsa: But regardless, there’s a lot more other types of studies that, that was the one that kind of. Open my eyes, but the bigger, I think the biggest study, and [00:19:00] it’s even true with the lower pressure hyperbarics, like what we use the soft shells is one week.  And this is an unpublished study. I got this from the owner of oxy health. Cause they, they’re going to probably release this study this year, but basically what they showed was it in one week in a soft shell chamber, you’re tripling your circulating stem cells. in one week. 

Dr. Weitz: So that’s cool.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, that’s pretty good.  And we’ve seen really amazing results.

Dr. Weitz: And these are one hour sessions?

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, one hour. Yeah. But we’ve seen amazing results with a lot of conditions with hyperbaric. The most amazing one recently was this woman who had 50 years of chronic congestive lung issue where she couldn’t get a full breath. and her lung was kind of gurgled and she’s been like that for 50 years.

Dr. Weitz: Wow.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, and literally after one week of doing [00:20:00] Hyperbaric, she was also doing the Red Light and Pulse, but I think primarily the Hyperbaric was the key thing for her. Her symptoms went away in one week. It was unbelievable. I was like, we were like, wow, that’s amazing. But we’ve seen like that similar types of results with Long COVID.  People with long COVID where they just are flat out, they have no energy, and it takes a little longer, but 20 sessions. They’re back to their normal self.

Dr. Weitz: So is it like rebuilding the mitochondria?

Dr. Khalsa: Oh, that’s, yeah. It’s mitochondrial biogenesis. It’s neuroregenerating, it’s regenerating neurons in the brain.  It’s getting, you know, increasing your, you know, circulating stem cells. It’s helping with overall body inflammation. It helps with immune, it helps boost the immune system. So it’s good for a lot of things. Wound healing it’s, you know, we’ve treated animals we had a cat [00:21:00] that, we didn’t know what the vets couldn’t tell us what was wrong with the cat, but the cat literally was like, fall, fell over sideways, we thought, oh god, the cat’s dead, you know, and we just started putting him in the hyperbaric he came back to life.

Dr. Weitz: Interesting.

Dr. Khalsa: Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work there because we had another cat that just passed away, unfortunately, but we didn’t get to him quick enough, but they put him in hyperbaric in Florida. My wife’s in Florida and he was too far gone, I think, but it just depends, you know, where hyperbarics.

Dr. Weitz: Okay. Yeah. What about, yeah, I was just looking into I was actually talking to somebody online about antioxidants and cancer. What about antioxidants and hyperbaric? Cause hyperbaric is high pressure oxygen. So it’s a oxidative stress. So you probably don’t want to take antioxidants like right before or right [00:22:00] afterwards, right?

Dr. Khalsa: Some doctors incorporate Methylene Blue into hyperbaric, because Methylene Blue is an electron donor to the electron transport chain, so you’re getting that mitochondrial boost, and then when you put it, add in that extra oxygen, it’s supercharging your mitochondria.

Dr. Weitz: If you did an IV vitamin C, would that also have a supercharging effect?

Dr. Khalsa: Probably, I mean anything you do with it, but I think methylene blue is the big one that people are using.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah, I know a lot of people are talking about methylene blue.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah. We use it also with a red light too, it also goes good with red light bed too.

Dr. Weitz: So does a person turn red or blue?

Dr. Khalsa: No, your pee turns blue. Have you taken methylene blue? I have not

Dr. Weitz: yet.

Dr. Khalsa: Oh when you take it Your pee turns blue.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah.

Dr. Weitz: I know there’s a blue man syndrome where if you [00:23:00] take silver, you can turn blue.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, a lot of people’s mouths, their tongue will be blue. I think a form of it now, which is in the pill, that you can swallow it so you don’t get the blue in your mouth.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: But it does happen, though, so you can get a lot of them.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah, I’m doing the Urolithin A and the NR. I’m doing a ton of the anti-aging and the longevity things. I haven’t gotten to Methylene Blue yet, though. Methylene Blue is a good one.

Dr. Khalsa: That’s a good one. I like it.

Dr. Weitz: I just added some of the plant peptides.  That’s a new thing.

Dr. Khalsa: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like peptides. Oh, by the way, that brings up an interesting. So I recently had a Follistatin shot. Do you know what that is? Follistatin? It’s a peptide. Okay. Oh, okay. But Follistatin, okay. Normally our bodies produce it when we’re young, like teenage years and stuff.

And it, it grows muscle. It’s protein [00:24:00] synthesis. It grows your muscle. And it encourages fat loss, basically. Okay. And it’s anti aging as well. Most people do it as a peptide, they’ll inject it, but there’s this company called Minicircles, that I don’t know if you’ve heard of them, but it’s a genetic therapy where they They actually they, they splice in the gene to produce the folastatin in your own body.

So they use a plasmid DNA from a bacteria and they put the folastatin gene in that plasmid DNA and then they give you an injection. It goes into your cells. It doesn’t interfere with your body’s own DNA. It stays within the cellular matrix. And it will reproduce the thalastatin for two years after you get the shot.

Dr. Weitz: Interesting. I gotta look into that. Send me the data on that.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, it’s really interesting. I went to this biohacking event, it was in February, you know, and all the guys [00:25:00] like, You know, Ben Greenfield, Dave Asprey, all those guys were there. I didn’t even know what this event was about. I just got invited and the main topic was this pholostatin and it just so happened that, and this is a fantastic story too, by the way, because it just so happened that the CFO of the company we were already in communication before I came to that seminar and he came up to me.

And he is Hey, Dr. Harari, he knew me just because we had already been communicating through WhatsApp, but I didn’t know who he was. And then he introduced me himself and then he tells me I need to do a trade with you guys. ’cause he had lost so much weight with the fall statin shot.  He weighed 350 pounds. Right. And he got the shot, he lost over a, I think it was 150 pounds.

Dr. Weitz: Kid

Dr. Khalsa: just

Dr. Weitz: short off his

Dr. Khalsa: body. Sure.

Dr. Weitz: You didn’t inject him with Ozembic?

Dr. Khalsa: No. This was from the fall set.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: Anyway. So what happened is, you know, because when you lose that much weight in that short of [00:26:00] time, you end up with folds, you know, like skin folds, right?  So you have to have surgery to repair the, you know, pull the skin up. But the problem was, is his body. Every time he’d do the surgery, he’d get these little infections, in the, you know, where they put the sutures or whatever. He had to go back 12 times. Oh my god. He’s preparing, right? And so he’s listen, I gotta do some major biohacking, I want to do a trade, because this Follistat shot’s not cheap, it’s only given outside the country, it’s not legal yet in this country.

Dr. Weitz: Okay.

Dr. Khalsa: And, anyway. Yeah. He’s listen, I want to do a trade with you guys. Because he knew he knows what we do in our clinic. And so he came in two weeks prior to the surgery. He did all the therapy, did red light, hyperbaric pulse. And a few other therapies we’ve got. Anyway, he went in that surgery, came out, kept doing the treatment, had zero problems.  Zero [00:27:00] problems post surgery, whereas previously, every single time he had systemic infection.

Dr. Weitz: Interesting.

Dr. Khalsa: That was amazing.

Dr. Weitz: Cool.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah.

Dr. Weitz: What about cancer? Can these therapies be used as adjuncts to cancer care?

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, I would definitely say as an adjunct. I would not say by themselves as a cure or, you know, a treatment even.  It’s more like supporting the body’s natural immunity and detoxification. You know, in that regards, I think they can be very helpful. I’ve seen cases of patients that were in hospice specifically I had this one guy, he came in, he was actually in a coma, he had a brain tumor, and his wife was like really insistent that he get the care, and so we, you know, we brought him in a wheelchair, he was literally in a coma, and we put him on a [00:28:00] pulse bed, yeah, this is a crazy story, this guy’s 90 years old, right, we put him on the pulse bed, and he wakes up!

Out of the coma! Really? Yeah. And so he started coming in and getting regular care and he lived, you know, they had given him previous I think two weeks to a month maybe, like he was in hospice care, right? He lived another four months and was completely communicative with his wife. He was able to enjoy his life up to the last moment.

Cool. Without being in a coma.

Dr. Weitz: That’s great.

Dr. Khalsa: That was an interesting one.

Dr. Weitz: Dr. Harari awakes the man from a coma.

Dr. Khalsa: That was crazy. That was really crazy. But no, I had another patient though that, oh my god, this is a wild case. This is the case for the medical journals. This woman came to me from Iowa. She was the [00:29:00] wife of a farmer and she had where the town where she lived, they did glyphosate spraying, you know, for decades.

Yeah, she told me that pretty much everybody in the town died from cancer where they lived, right? She ended up getting cancer and she had pancreatic cancer that had spread to her liver And it created a tumor There was and i’m not joking dude. It was the look the size of a nine month pregnant woman.

That’s how big It was huge and she was they you know, they had our morphine She was basically in hospice at that point and you know, she was like You I just want to live because I just want to live. I’ll do whatever it takes. And I’m like, okay I mean, the medical doctors had just written her off, you know, they put her on morphine.

It was it was done. And so I said, okay, let’s see what we can do, you know. So I actually had her, and this was that without much knowledge at the time, I, there is more [00:30:00] data now, but I was getting into the Wim Hof method where, you know, getting into ice water. And so I said, listen, you know, this is what I do every day.

I think you should do it. And so she did it. She got into the ice water very first time I met this woman and she started doing 11 minute ice baths, 32 degree water every day. every day. This woman was determined, right? And so I had her doing the pulse, she was doing ozone therapy, she was doing Rick Simpson protocol with, you know, cannabis and, you know, a million, I had her on like at least 10 different therapies, right?

And in two months, Her tumor had literally broken apart and shrunk down by two thirds. Huh? And she got, she was off of morphine. She got off her morphine. She had all her strength back. She could barely walk. When I first met her, she walked away a, after I saw her, she was carrying two 50 pound suitcases.

You know, she [00:31:00] was strong like she like at ox. Huh. Unfortunately though I couldn’t keep treating her because. She had to go back to Iowa. I had to go. I did another you know, thing I had to do anyway. But she did get six more quality months of life, which she would have not otherwise had. So that was quite amazing to see that.  I think if I probably stayed with her, you know, six months. We could’ve seen a complete remission, you know, maybe, we’ll see.

Dr. Weitz: Okay. But that,

Dr. Khalsa: that was exciting to see that kind of progress with somebody. It was amazing. Cool.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah. Okay. So what else you got for us?

Dr. Khalsa: The other biggie that I’m really into is the STEM wave.

Dr. Weitz: StemWave.

Dr. Khalsa: StemWave. StemWave. That’s shockwave therapy. Oh, okay. Are you familiar with that? I am.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah, so I’ve been using It’s like a high pressure, sort of compression massage [00:32:00] type device.

Dr. Khalsa: Yeah, exactly. The one we use is called a StemWave. It’s a true shockwave. There’s different types of machines on the market.  They’re all good to some degree. They do different things, but the one we have is a you know, it’s really deep, like it, is that

Dr. Weitz: the name of the company or yeah,

Dr. Khalsa: it’s called stemway. That’s the name of the company, but it’s a, it’s an electro hydraulic machine, meaning it’s running the shockwave through water.  So the head has water in it. And so when. When that shockwave hits the body, it’s traveling at 3, 355 miles an hour into the body.

Dr. Weitz: Okay. 

Dr. Khalsa: It has a massive stimulatory effect on healing joints. So I do mostly joint rehab with that machine. Okay. We had about I think we have about six or seven people in the last year that avoided different types of joint surgery, you know, shoulder [00:33:00] surgery, back surgery, hip surgery, or recovered from.  I mean, we’ve had, we had some people that had really bad fractures that helped in their recovery, you know, post surgery, but that, that, that therapy is To me, as a chiropractor, it’s a godsend, because I’m able to help people with bad knees, bad hips, you know, low back disc problems, neck. I had one guy who was scheduled to have a disc replacement.  C67 after two and a half weeks of doing the therapy, he had no more symptoms went away. Cool. They canceled the surgery. So that was beautiful, you know, yeah. That’s great.

Dr. Weitz: Yeah, it’s fun stuff. Okay, cool. How can our listeners find out more about you and connect with you at your clinic?
