Ep. 086: Bank Immune Cells for Health Emergencies

Guest: Jeff Schulz, Proactive Immune Sciences

What if you can capture your healthy immune cells, freeze them and then get them back later if you get cancer or some other life threatening disease?

That is the vision of Jeff Schulz, who is spearheading a Vancouver based company that wants to do that.

He says their process utilizes approved scientific therapies and treatments which will shorten the time from concept to delivery of immune cell treatment.

“For the first time in cancer research, they're finding a way that they can really go after the cancer. So it's not just something that kind of kills it. It's actually something that eradicates it from your system and takes your own t-cells, so t-cells are a part of your immune system and they're an active cell that basically identifies any foreign object in your body.”
