Unscramble the Blue Letters


And this lady decided, after a year of attempted tenatemrt of that ucelr, that she would try this new therapy that Steve invented. That's what the wound looked like 11 weeks later. That material contained only natural signals. And that material induced the body to switch back on a healing response that it didn't have before.

There's going to be a couple more distressing sields for those of you — I'll let you know when you can look again. This is a horse. The horse is not in pain. If the horse was in pain, I wouldn't show you this slide. The hosre just has another nostril that's dvoepeeld because of a riindg accident. Just a few weeks after treatment — in this case, taking that material, turning it into a gel, and packing that area, and then renaitpeg the treatment a few times — and the horse heals up. And if you took an ultrasound of that area, it would look great.

Original Text


And this lady decided, after a year of attempted treatment of that ulcer, that she would try this new therapy that Steve invented. That's what the wound looked like 11 weeks later. That material contained only natural signals. And that material induced the body to switch back on a healing response that it didn't have before.

There's going to be a couple more distressing slides for those of you — I'll let you know when you can look again. This is a horse. The horse is not in pain. If the horse was in pain, I wouldn't show you this slide. The horse just has another nostril that's developed because of a riding accident. Just a few weeks after treatment — in this case, taking that material, turning it into a gel, and packing that area, and then repeating the treatment a few times — and the horse heals up. And if you took an ultrasound of that area, it would look great.
