WARNING: THIS CITY's Medical Tourism Could Cost You LESS than ANYWHERE!
if such popular and famous people like Ray Mysterio Kevin Nash and Action Bronson trust medine with their stem cell needs this city obviously has something to offer so what does that mean for regular expats and medical tourists that come here as someone who has spent 5 years in Vietnam without learning the local language I know how important it is to find Reliable health care options when moving to a new country especially if you don't speak the local language that's why as part of my generic expats project I wanted to explore this new growing field and share an interview with an xat owner of a stem cell company that caters to the medical tourists and xat Community here in Medan right after this introduction to the generic expats project hey it's Eric from generic xat and welcome to season 2 South America we give you boot on the ground real life videos and perspectives on living in and moving to Latin America focusing on safety cost of living healthc care weather and telling the storying of xats currently living in both expat hubs and undiscovered gems here in the region as I slowly drive through and live in each country in the after driving for nearly 2 years from Minnesota down through Mexico and Central America I literally have been preparing to do this solo project for the past 15 years and I hope you enjoy all the content coming at you right now today I have a special guest that is going to be telling us a little bit about the services that he does here in this beautiful place that we are located in now let's go ahead and get to know him what is your name uh I have a great name it's Eric jic xat meets Eric the the the twin brothers okay and where are you from so I'm actually originally from Massachusetts Vermont but I went to college in Florida and then I moved to Los Angeles for 31 years in entertainment so the whole time I was basically in the entertainment business oh fantastic and where are we now so we're in medine Columbia a place that I never thought I would be uh but about almost 4 years ago a friend of mine said you got to come here it's amazing you're going to love it it's before Co and uh I just you know I think that when you just do things instinctively you always make the right choice I literally was on the phone with him got went to my computer and just looked up Price Line tickets meding and I literally I literally ordered the ticket right there I didn't didn't question it you know a lot of people I know that I tell how great the city is and they they they ask me a million questions like bro I just told you it's great why you asking questions you don't trust me and so I came down here for 8 days and I absolutely fell in love with the city which many people do many of my patients are are patients do and then um I went back to the States and then uh Co hit and I had to wait you know 7 months to come back and I came back stayed for a year and a half then I went and trained in medicine in in Cancun and I after a year I came back and I've been here for a year and a quarter fantastic so you mentioned clients so let's talk a little bit about what exactly that means so we are obviously in like a medical office what what kind of clients are you dealing with well first of all clients or SLP patients are people that have you know pain usually some sort of pain knee pain back pain uh they could have PTSD which we've treated we've treated multiple sclerosis we've treated Parkinson's um but most of it's General Health uh anti-aging so guys my age 30 just kidding so I'm obviously over 50 so my age uh I get a lot of patients in my age category that that have a lot of guys and women that have been very active in their life very entrepreneurial and they have a lot of physical ailments and we treat them with stem cell therapy okay so stem cell therapy is definitely a new type of medicine it's a new type of um like idea for many people so let's talk a little bit more about stem cells because I think there's maybe like a negative connotation with stem cells right well you know we all think of stem cells when we think of C for Reeves Superman who passed unfortunately remember he fell off a horse and they Tred to get in about 2002 they tried to get some uh stuff passed through the Congress that would make stem cell therapy legal the problem was that we were deriving the minkim stem cells which are the really the the baby cells that heal from aborted fetuses and for two reasons that was not good one the Catholic Church did not like it at all and George Bush was a Catholic a heavy Catholic and they just blocked it number two and more importantly to me was when you pull cells out of a out of a baby that abort a baby you're going to get cells that have been differentiated that means they've been turned into something you know you could pull a cell out of your arm that could be a bone cell a skin cell a you know a ligament cell cartilage cell that's not what you want to heal with you want to typically you want to heal with cells that have not been differentiated so how do you find those the umbilical cord why because the cord is the highway the cells go to to get to the body but they got cut they didn't make it so they didn't get into the body of the baby so they're sitting there going can we do something please you know and so we take those babies and we culture them and we replicate them and we make billions of cells every month that we introduce back into us into a body right and um so from what I'm understanding you have a lot of competition but there is something that really differentiates uh your company which is named uh rayu right R eju and our our slogan is reu that's great I that's nice so speaking of the stem cells and you know replicating uh you mentioned that the way that you do stem cells the way that you guys make it is how you have an advantage to your competition one of our competitive events so here in medine we're looking out this window of this beautiful city and right over here is bio accelerator which is uh a major player in the business probably the biggest clinic in stem cell therapy right here in medine and um we really do well competing with them and the reason why is our stem cell line which is out of Bogata we actually produce the cells in Bogota is a very very young cell it's uh very strong young is strong and very tiny cells and uh they can't compete bio accelerated cells are double the pass rate meaning they they've been replicated double the number of times and you know that from a copy machine when you replicate replicate it weakens the to copy same thing applies here so our cell line is twice as effective in my opinion and it's half the cost I don't have to be a great salesman to sell that okay plus our Clinic is beautiful and we're in a building that's 16 stories tall all of which has medical facilities here so if I need to have you do a hyperbaric I'll send you upstairs if I need you to do surgery I'll send you down the surgery room and it's all in in the same medical building so a potential patient coming here if if if you are going to see them you pretty much can do what the services you need to do here in this one building is that right that's correct everything's done in this building and let me say something about the patients so uh we get a call going we we have an initial call there is no selling it's all education until you're educated to a certain level you're comfortable with this what we do this is the fourth Quantum Leap in medicine this is the fourth Quantum Leap this means so the first Quantum medicine was Penicillin because we didn't have Penicillin on the battlefield people died like crazy crazy right so and then surgery was another Quantum Leap this is the fourth one once you understand stem cell therapy and understand as a consumer how to go out and get the right cells you're going to come to us pretty much all every time so we have done phenomenally well in the city and continue to be blessed to be able to serve uh people from all over the world fantastic well it seems like it's definitely a passion of yours speaking of how you offer all these really good competitive prices and good quality products I mean let's talk about the services let's talk about you actually do what is the most common thing that you do here at Ru I think that the most common thing we do here is joints you know there everyone always has a joint problem usually with men at shoulders or knees um we do a lot of anti-aging that's where we just do a general IV and the cells go all over the body and reduce inflammation we do a lot of P shots we don't do a lot of V shots we a lot of P shots P shots a penis shot uh and we uh and we take men my age and we inject their penises I know it sounds crazy but it really works well and it's pretty much painless and my erections are way better my orgasms are way better blah blah blah and we do it for women called the vshot as well that's a very popular procedure uh and way less expensive than the US so in the US the big thing about the US is that you can't expand the cells you're not legally you FDA is not allowing expansion that means you can't take the cells off The Bu cord and make more cells you have to use only what you have there and for that reason you can't you there's not a lot of cells to use and unfortunately most of the healing needs to be done you need a lot more stem cells not saying there's no value in the US that's not fair but it's a very expensive process there for a very like I'll give you an example 60 million minko stem cells off the umbilical cord not cultured is going to cost you about $20,000 in us here it would cost you $4,000 you know cheap okay five times cheaper yeah it's like five times cheaper so you want to get the expanded cells um until the FDA approves stem cell there which they're working on and then it'll be available everywhere but will still be less expensive here medical tourism is real guys I'm going to tell you something your audience will love okay see this these are veneers these are uh um what do you call porcelain veneers and these are uh acrylic veneers 20 of them $4,000 wow you go to Beverly Hills and ask them how much that cost you this will cost you at least $30,000 wow so you take a flight down here to a beautiful airport these airports International airport you get picked up by by a beautiful human being usually it's a woman they're all beautiful here and they bring you here they take you to a hotel that's fourstar or airbnbs which are amazing and you and you save 16 Grand 26 Grand whatever I don't understand why everyone's not doing medical tourism I don't understand it get guys get your passport you know I think a main part of that is that there's so many people that are afraid of flying because everyone has this idea in their heads when especially people that don't fly or don't have family or friends friends that fly they just like well that's too difficult well I have to have a passport that sounds like a lot of work and it's like people just OV exaggerate how difficult it is to do things because we're just you know we have the idea that the US has everything we need I mean it obviously does but for a massive premium huge premium so yeah like what you're saying 50% of the men that come to medine miss their flight back that is a factual statement they love it so not that women don't either but men really love the city and uh when you come here you'll understand why I I I'll never leaving I lived in La for 31 years I I was right in West Hollywood I'm I'm not going back so one question I have about your patience is you mentioned about you have many um men uh that come here are they the majority of your patients or are they a bit more than half or how how was the percentage on that our our breakdown between men and women is about 70% men currently Now understand that men have more physical problems they're more active typically and so they have more issues so that's why women come here and get a lot of Aesthetics done that's the FI do a full stem Cil facial can take 15 years off your face hair in some cases if you have thinning hair neck okay we and we and we do and then in the general make your skin glow so think about this ladies every pregnant woman you know everyone says the same thing oh my God you look so beautiful you're glowing that's because of stem cells stem cells are making the baby stem cells get all over your body it makes you look gorgeous it's been known pregnant women among the most beautiful women in the world M so that's a very interesting fact I never I never even thought about it that way but yeah I guess I guess that tot totally makes sense it's not by accident um so you mentioned that medine is a big hub for medical tourism and that's very obvious I mean people come here for like you said like for teeth big time is really good for that there's just really high quality really lowc cost Services here in not only medine but all of Columbia so what I want to ask is why do you think it's better to come here than to go to maybe Thailand or Asia well you know going to Thailand may be a good good solution for you but it's 25 hours um I think hair Turkey is a great place to go for hair we do hair here as well um but I think in beauty medene is the location for those you don't know medene is known as the home of the Pisa a Pisa which is more talking about women than men are always looking good so the city is every girl in the city has had their teeth done braces they're all maybe not V years but they've had you know they had braces they all dress really nice I I don't care if they're getting in the Uber to go home at the end of the night they're getting dressed they they're doing their hair and their makeup again there's a fascination of beauty here it's really important so the uh the natural beauty that he mentioned I'll definitely share a little point that I can relate to I go to the um Brazilian chain the gym chain smart fit and every single girl's wearing makeup they have perfume on them like for me it's just you know it is a little bit weird I go there to exercise you know and you know that's I I'm more practical I'm a man right and then other other men men do the same thing as the women I mean they dress up really obviously not makeup but they dress up really nice they wear really good clothes and they wear a ton of coloon on them like what would make sense that medical tourism would be here from for beauty yeah so think about some people just they love looking and smelling beautiful and doing that thing to have like that that basically that characteristic and that that that is very obvious here so he's totally right this is kind of the the the Cradle of beauty almost in Latin America you think about if you live on the east coast you go to Miami Miami medine go the West Coast you go Panama Panama medine if you're in the central part of the country you go Houston P medine this is not it's no excuse for not coming here and there are direct flights from Miami yeah that many flights within the US to make it really really cheap you can go just to Miami straight in Miami what is it like 150 sometimes you can you find on probably Spirit the cheapest ones man they're they're crazy we have so many people from Florida here because they all learn about medine they all come back and back and back it's not a secret here there but in other parts of the country because many actually where I'm from it's actually further from Miami than Colombia is I looked it up I'm like what how is that possible but it is is a it's it's a faster flight and in distance it's actually closer you obviously have a lot of things to offer people that are coming here to medine for medical tourism can you give us a couple of the ways people can contact you so like website or social media yeah well uh the best way is our website which is Ru that's re EJ medical tourism t o r ism.com uh you can also contact us at us 31791 1259 uh and the last thing I want to say is people ask me about cancer a lot a lot of you guys don't have issues but your mom and dad does or your grandma and so cancer is not it cannot be treated with stem cell therapy currently however there is a new amazing therapy in the market called NK therapy it's in Thailand uh it was from China China is way ahead of all of us in Med in uh research in medicine Chinese are research monsters and they have really uh gotten ahead of all of us so and plus they don't their government pays for everything so enk therapy is where they take the natural killer cells and they replicate them and they modify them for the cancer that you have and they put them back in your body we do send patients there so if you have it some with cancer and it's not over stage two uh we can help treat them oh it's very very useful information I didn't even realize that that those things were were available that they're working on them yeah oh trust me the pharmaceutical companies really want you to know this right one other advantage of you know being a medical tourist is you know getting out of the realm of just being you know being told that you really can't fix things that actually are fixable outside the US well one of the big things is autoimmune and that's one of the great things about stem cell therapy whether you have limes disease or any of the autoimmune um Blends uh stem cells is one of your Solutions so you should really look at this therapy whether it's with us or with somebody else that's credible so my name is Richard and I am a stem cell success story so I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 2 years ago and today is my first day back at the him I am completely normal with no symptoms after getting two drips pretty soon after diagnosed with Parkinson um none of my symptoms returned then finally I was getting a little bit of the tremblers back and did another drip I am now on 9 months after the last drip I've had thank you trust them and Dr Escobar and their amazing stem cells and I I have no signs of Parkinson's I'm completely normal and thank God today is my first day back in the gym and I'm really excited to get back at it thanks again um trustom Labs Dr Escobar thank you Dr AOA and God bless everyone have a great day speaking of all the different Services you do offer can you give us a couple examples of what they would be and the prices that you offer compared to your competitors yeah so pricing everyone's always worried about pricing because you hear in the market it's so expensive and it can be I mean there's no question so my competitors I'm not going to mention who they are but uh they will not treat you if you don't spend more at least $25,000 they it's the reason it is they don't have enough room in their Clinic they have to maximize their Roi their return on investment so they do it that way it's not that they're bad guys um so we we don't play that game if if you need a procedure that's three or $44,000 we we consider doing it however I'll also pitch you on if you're going to do your shoulder let's do a general IV I'll give you a deal we call it bundling but you know prices run anywhere from $33,000 up to you know of course you can spend $20,000 but it'll be half any of the real competitors there's some companies I don't even consider competitor but the ones that actually produce a decent cell and they're well recognized in the game uh we we beat them by 40% every day I will guarantee it wow that's crazy information and when you mentioned um flying into the airport and someone picking up the patients is that included in the presses one of the things I want you all to know about medical tourism is that most of these companies are smart enough to be able to Pro provide great con a service we're not alone in that area however the person you talk to before your trip the one who does your onboarding and your uh facilitation typically is at the airport with a sign with your name on it you know somebody who's really well dressed well put together uh and they're there and they will be with you through the whole experience dropping you out the airport picking up in the morning having somebody pick you up we have a bunch of drivers that drive for us so you really don't do anything without us so would a typical like package include the accommodation and the pickup service so the typical package includes pickup service I don't like to include the the hotel but I will sometimes if it's some if it's necessary um because there's a lot of choices here and you should be able to make your own sure but we'll we'll talk about it I mean it's all part of the negotiation of the of the of the deal um but I will tell you this much not only will we give you the best price of any of the our competitors uh but we also have the best sell line so we have the best cells and the best price so if you don't at least look at us you're really not doing yourself a service when we talked about the stem celles before you mentioned that yours are higher quality is is there a reason why yours are higher quality compared to your competitors you one of the things I think is unfortunate in the business is that the consumer doesn't really have the right information to make a intelligent decision if I was you looking at stem cell therapy is my option I would make sure that the cell line where the laboratory the cells are produced at does not go beyond four passage that means it it doesn't replicate more than four times in these replication boxes little box bigger box bigger box bigger box every time you replicate it it doubles in in yield it's good right but it's not good in the sense that the cells get watery so I don't like to use a cell over 12 replications and I don't like to use a box Passage rate more than four that means each time it gets pass to another box and replicates up to 80% of the wall of the Box because it the sells like plastic they stick to plastic I wouldn't do it that way if you do you may not get as good a result and I see the complaints online come from companies that replicate 12 time they're 12 passages they can do that because they want to cheat and make more money they still it's they're still stem cells but they're not effective do not go beyond six at the most and I'm going to give you a three pass so you should at least call us yeah so what you're saying is basically not only do you have probably double the quality but also half the price yeah we could argue it's double the quality although maybe not completely true like a six passage sell may not be half as effective but it definitely isn't as effective and I wouldn't take any risk look at guys if you spend $112,000 a lot of money get the biggest bang you came for your buck seriously and I don't you know even though that 12,000 may be half somebody else's still ,000 you know or 8,000 or 20 or whatever it is well all of this information is fantastic and is there anything else you want to add come come come come when you come to medigene stem cell therapy is not like surgery you don't have a long recovery window typically within 48 hours you're completely back to normal and you're starting to feel better so you should come down here spend a few days to get treatment anywhere from 3 to 5 days for treatment and then maybe spend a few days exploring the city uh meeting people here there colan people are really beautiful people and this location of the clinic as well is in one of the best places in the entire city if not the entire country pobl is a really beautiful place and there's a lot of cool things to see nice places to stay at nice places to go have some you know drinks and food and everything like meet some new people you know it's it's probably 75% less expensive here than the US so about one quarter including the steak that you get that's $25 is this big and you just you you you'll spend the whole time going I can't believe all I can't believe what cheap took me a year to stop saying that I can't believe what cheap it is you can't believe I've never been here before and then the other next thing is why didn't I come here before well cuz Pablo Escobar was here 30 years ago yeah he was we ain't here anymore and the people are actually very docel they're that's why dictators can take over because they they're just not Alphas here and they they're beautifully kind people so one other thing mentioning Pablo Escobar and for people that actually do fall in love with the city that they like the place and they want to check out areas I mean going to K is where as a cool tourist attraction I just went made a video there last week and it's a really cool place it's been really growing and there's a lot of interesting history there it's like the graffiti art capital of the city so Dr Mia choa who we're blessed to be working with is a US trained Doctor Who's got a double degree she's very bright um and you would think that these type of doctors aren't going to be located here but that's not true let's go ahead and talk to one of the professionals that works with Eric in his services so can you please introduce yourself what is your name my name is Mia chaab and where are you from I'm from Columbia okay great are you from Med yeah I'm from here born and raised raised here what type of job do you do in uh partnership with Eric okay so basically we Eric we are doing a lot of treatments and we're performing a stem cells treatment since like two years ago that we opened the facility here in M Colombia before I was studying in States for is learning about new devel new new techniques new things that is happening in all this stem cells industry so the idea is we can bring all the best quality treatments with reu and with our partners so our patients are really happy with them awesome and so you did your doctor training as well in the United States yeah know like I do my medical degree here in Colombia then I moved to Luxembourg do plastic surgery for two years and then I moved to States and I to get my PhD oh wow so it's a long process to get where you are H has been many years studing and so you are the golden star that is doing the the work for for Ru right exactly fantastic well thank you so much for introducing yourself pleas guys this is who we're dealing with this is the uh the star behind the uh behind the curtain a lot of them live here because they first of all she is Pisa she's from here but a lot of them live here because it's so inexpensive they they can charge less and help more people a lot of them are very kind to be here so take advantage of that take advantage of the great doctors in the city besides Mia that you're working with um how many other other types of um professionals are you working with well you know most of the procedures are done through Dr AOA but we do have you know Specialists for hands and feet and things of that nature we have of course Hyperbaric that we do uh that there's another technician for that and then for our surgery room when we have to do the back we use a fluoroscope an anesthesiologist and two doctors Dr AOA and another doctor so that we get get it really well because backs are delicate you need to be really on top of your game um so we use a number of different Professionals in that regard speaking of fixing backs this actually hits a personal point for me because this is another reason why I wanted to partner with you to show what you offer and to help you you know reach a bigger audience and help people get your services and get your healing because my dad when he was alive my dad passed away three years ago and uh he had back pain that literally debilitated him for probably 20 years and if he would have been able to take advantage of this new technology when he was in his 30s in my 30s I'm 36 so if he would have you know he he died at 57 so imagine at 37 20 years before he died if he would have had 20 years of better quality of life he had a I think it's called a slip disc and he just you know just had such a bad quality of life from this one thing that happened to him some accident or something I think it was actually work related so it's just like it kind of hits home to me like seeing someone really passionate about helping everyone else and you know wishing I could have helped my dad do that in the past so yeah I really appreciate you uh you know help and what we're going to do now is we're going to show you a little bit of the facilities that we can show you here at the clinic here in Las Vegas so let's go ahead and check it out [Music]
