A now viral heart transplant cardiologist with Hollywood patients revealed that celebrities are now using stem cell injections to extend their lifespan and create a youthful appearance that, in some cases, can make them appear ten years younger.

Dr. Ernst von Schwarz is a triple-board certified internist, cardiologist and heart transplant at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Heart Institute of Southern California. He is also one of the pioneering thought leaders in modern future technologies, such as stem cell therapies for chronic diseases for the heart and other organs.

He went viral when he predicted that the use of stem cells would extend human life to 120 years by the end of the decade. Schwarz now says that number could reach 150 by the middle of the century. 

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Schwarz said that while aging is a natural biological process, aging is also the number one risk factor for dying because it is associated with a host of degenerative diseases.

In modern medicine, advanced aging is treated as a disease itself.

"If I do a heart surgery or any procedure on the heart, the number one question is how old is the patient? Because that determines the risk," Schwarz said.

He noted that over the last 20 years, there has been a shift in the medicine paradigm, moving from reactive medicine to what is known as regenerative medicine.

Reactive medicine is when someone comes to the doctor because their body hurts. They may have had an accident and the physician reacts to that injury, inflammation, infection, etc.

Today, doctors can repair damage and regenerate damaged tissues through various treatments, such as stem cells, which are not FDA-approved for any disease outside of certain forms of cancer.

No disease has ever been cured with stem cells. However, Schwarz noted that their use has seen an improvement in symptoms and the quality of life.

"The goal is to create an improved health and longer health span, not of the lifespan. So, we want people to be able to be active until high ages," Schwarz said.

Schwarz, who authored the book "The Secrets of Immortality," often speaks about how important it is not to believe that there is one injection or one pill that a person can take to solve their problems. Instead, what is needed is a whole lifestyle modification change, which includes diet, exercise, the discovery of nutrient deficiencies and regenerative medicine.

Despite criticism from the media, Schwarz said that anti-aging research is of "enormous value." Many people who come to him are considering skin de-aging or reverse aging.

Stem cells, Schwarz said, can have various impacts on the skin. First, they rebuild collagen under the skin layers, which helps to give the face a more viable, fuller appearance. They also help to repair epithelial cells, a type of cell that covers the inside and outside surfaces of the body and are found in skin, blood vessels and organs.

Through a process known as angiogenesis, stem cells can improve circulation by helping to build new blood vessels, capillaries and arterials, which in turn supports the healing and repair processes.

"We have a lot of people, of course, I'm in L.A. and Hollywood. Before red carpets, they come to us a week or ten days before they get their facial stem cell injections, and a week later they glow," Schwarz said. "They look, I swear to God, they look 5 to 10 years younger."

Schwarz, who has worked with stem cells for over 20 years, said the stem cell injections should be repeated every year or 18 months and cost several thousand dollars each time.

He said the long-lasting effect can likely be attributed to the stem cells stimulating the recipient's bone marrow to produce more stem cells. If you inject stem cells, the number is doubled in the system a day later. After two or three days, those numbers have essentially quadrupled.

Many celebrities, including Harry Styles, Margot Robbie and David Beckham, have all used stem cells where the liquid is applied after a round of microneedling.

Schwarz revealed that he has a lot of patients, particularly men, who also get stem cell treatments for sexual dysfunction. Studies published by Schwarz and his team found that the benefits of the treatment lasted at least a year with one single injection.

He has also seen burn victims and those with skin damage who produce excellent results with stem cells.

Despite his positive experiences with stem cell treatments, Schwarz urged potential patients to be wary of the information they find online, ask the right questions and consult trusted doctors with a long history of experience in the field.

"I wouldn't believe anything that people tell you on the web or in their marketing materials because, I mean, there are certain things which are just unknown, and the rest is really marketing," he said. "So again, I strongly believe stem cells and stem cell therapy is the future of medicine. But that business, which is out there, whether it's within the U.S. or outside, is very uncontrolled and there's no supervision."

Schwarz also addressed the criticism of stem cell therapy, urging patients to ask where the stem cells come from, whether it's the umbilical cord or placenta tissue and what hygienic measures have been taken to avoid sepsis.

"It's the wild, wild west out there, and I think what we are missing is really an oversight here from inside us rather than from the FDA," he added.

Prevention is by many orders of magnitude cheaper than reaction. And more effective. Oct. 7, a bloody reality difficult to accept, is proof – as much as 9/11 is. 

America, the most powerful nation in the world, was humiliated in a terrorist attack that could and should have been prevented. The reaction price: over $2 trillion. Plus, the discomfort of airport security, the NSA (and not only!) watching, defeat in Afghanistan. The terrorists won.

Israel’s famous security service, and the no less famous IDF (Israel Defense Force), were demeaned. Terrorists, training for paraglider infiltration under the eyes of many secret services (U.S. included) succeeded against the technological miracle of a border void of living military, which was replaced by machines. It was automated—the highest achievement of determinism. 

The cascade of failures that led to killing, maiming, taking hostages and destroying buildings will be subjected to scrutiny. But nobody can undo the horror of a war, in reaction to terror, that might be justified but in the end costs more lives of innocents. 

WHY ISRAEL'S PEGASUS SPYWARE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO STOP HAMAS

The focus in Israel – as it was in the U.S. – is on reaction. It is supposed to be massive. The terrorists spent a fraction of what the reaction – $250 million a day! – will eventually cost. This all points to a deeper reaching causality in which not so much the past determines the present – what is called determinism – but the possible future plays the most important role. 

Anticipatory actions, informed by the possible future, would have saved lives and prevented wanton destruction. 

In the embrace of the deterministic view of the world that afforded enormous progress – think about the state of technology today and the prosperity it made possible – the world continues to accumulate every imaginable means for reacting. Deterministic science and technology, embodied in the cult of machines and automation, is capable of generating the most sophisticated explanations of events – after they took place. But unfortunately, it is incapable of preventing them. 

The U.S. had plenty of data prior to the 9/11 attack. Nevertheless, it failed to understand its meaning. Israel, after thwarting attack after attack, felt secure in its protective digital shield. But it eventually failed. 

How and why did this happen? It should be clear by now that reality is not reducible to data and its processing, no matter at which scale. Life and death are about meaning. Machines, no matter how sophisticated, are agnostic of significance.

Any activity based on machines, regardless how sophisticated, can be emulated by other machines. If humans write a program, such as one to identify attempts at crossing the border or flying into the Twin Towers, another human being will be able to hack it. Instead of forcing themselves over the border, terrorists found an uncomplicated way to fly over it. 

CHINA PRIORITIZING AI WITH GOAL OF ‘INTELLIGENTIZED WARFARE,’ PENTAGON WARNS

Why is the open-ended space of the possible, where prevention could be pursued, not investigated? Because determinism creates the illusion that what happened will be repeated. 

Some years ago, a colleague from academia, congratulated me: Your anticipatory research is now a thematic interest in IARPA: "Anticipatory Intelligence." The world is catching up with you. Congratulations! 

It did not. They wanted bigger hammers, not a different way of thinking. There was ZERO probability that 9/11 would take place. And again, ZERO that Hamas would bring Israel to its knees 50 years after the Yom Kippur war. 

Determinism adopted by Israel in the form of technology deployed as a better border defense infers from the past. It prepared the country to fight old wars. Hamas worked in anticipatory mode: spying on those to be killed, making technology unusable, building tunnels, indoctrinating the young to the extent of translating Jew-hatred into accepting suicide missions.

An explanation: The current state of an anticipatory system is the outcome of not only past states, but also of possible future states. It is holistic. 

Let us unpack the explanation by pointing out that anticipation is definitory of living entities – in individual actions or in aggregate behavior (swarms of birds or fish, packs of animals, communities, societies). Organisms survive due to anticipatory action. Immunity is not in reaction to pathogens, but in anticipation of them. Anticipatory actions result in adaptive behavior. Neither the U.S. nor Israel achieved the goal of adaptive defense processes of holistic nature. 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND US NUCLEAR WEAPONS DECISIONS: HOW BIG A ROLE?

The tragic events cannot be disconnected from the perceptions they triggered. The sobering reality of demonstrations, all around the world, not in solidarity with the victims, but with the perpetrators, points to a misunderstood liberalism expressed in deplorable immigration policies. This resulted in the Trojan horse effect: the enemy is now inside, no longer hidden among those who have a legitimate claim to safe haven. 

The result: mass demonstrations, in European countries, in Australia, and in New Zealand, chanting: Gas the Jews. Only a holistic view of the events can help understand the way the world has changed in the woke recent years, and why universities became the stomping grounds for indoctrination. 

Reaction is reductionist: search for cause and effect, localize each separate incident and operate with it in isolation from the whole. After that, live with the illusion that all is fine – experts vouch for their machines. Specialization results in blindfolding. Prevention, as an outcome of anticipatory action, is holistic. 

Imagine trying to understand a play, for instance, by seeing only one act, by not taking in the performance of the actors, by ignoring the reactions of the audience. The war in Afghanistan did not do away with terror in the world. Israel’s wars in Gaza, each time the terrorists made life less than comfortable for Israelis, only created conditions for what the latter is going through.

If technology embodies the connection between causes and effects, living entities unfold according to a dynamic that is far more complex. The expert designed war machine gave Israel the edge in the conflict with enemies who want to annihilate the Jews living there.

Anticipatory actions unfold in a different time frame. An organism’s healthy cells continuously guard against cancer. Stimulating bodily healing – as in the case of migraine headaches – takes longer than quick-fix medications, but is completely successful. 

Israel, like the rest of the world, chose the path of reaction to the detriment of stimulating prevention processes. When its own stability is undermined – as is the case in the political cannibalism unfolding even during this war –t hose who never gave up their fanatic pursuit of Jew-hatred took advantage.

Can the world prevent even more bloody events? Even more expressions of hatred? 

The presumed best science and technology give people, at least in countries dedicated to freedom and opportunity, a prosperity that cannot be even imagined without them. But not the security they wish for. This applies as well to their health – if you remember COVID-19. They invest in reactive means such as powerful air forces, rockets and bombs, surveillance or in mRNA vaccines of disputable effectiveness. But not in prevention. 

Anyone prepared for the change-of-function genetic research to produce the new weapons of the fanatics? The question pertains to our society: time to integrate anticipatory thinking in our entire realm of activity. The age of the quick fixes is over. Unless we are prepared to surrender.
