Two Years Later: Glenn Martin Journey for Stem Cell Therapy for Crohn's Disease in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

[00:00:08] Hi, my name is Glenn Martin and I am from North Dakota.

[00:00:14] I came to amunotherapy for the first time in August of last year.

[00:00:20] And uh just to give you a little background history of where I where my journey started um 2020 I ended up in the emergency room.

[00:00:33] and a lot of pain and they said it looked to them like it was early signs of Crohn's disease.

[00:00:42] So we for the next two years my wife and I went on this journey. Um, we mainly controlled it with diet and um, kept it at bay.

[00:00:52] I ended up in the hospital a time or so in there um, just because it got out of control.

[00:01:03] And then in uh, 2022 was when things really started to go downhill for us or for me.

[00:01:12] And we looked into a lot of different options. um tried medically treating it with uh medication and um just didn't seem like a lot of stuff was helping.

[00:01:29] Then in 2023 um things progressively got worse. I would end up in the hospital. Um, but it was never bad enough that they needed to do surgery to take intestines out or anything like that, but it was very, very painful.

[00:01:47] And so we tried different things. We went to Florida, did a few different treatments here and there, trying different things.

[00:01:56] And um, we went to a clinic in Arkansas uh, called Spiro Clinic. We were very happy with what they did for us, but it just didn't seem to get me over the edge.

[00:02:10] And so, um, with much research, my wife did a lot of research as far as what helps, what what, uh, works best for Crohn's, and we came across the stem cell therapy.

[00:02:22] And we went to Dallas, Texas, and had stem cells done.

[00:02:31] And um it seemed to help for just a little tiny bit, but it didn't really seem to do much.

[00:02:35] And so my wife looked into more of what other options there are and she did lots of research and came across um amunotherapy here in Porttoarda, Mexico.

[00:02:53] And we uh were very excited. um she called down here and talked to them and they were just so helpful and so friendly and we were just excited and I was very very low.

[00:03:07] Um I had went from originally 230 lb down to 110 lb.

[00:03:14] we didn't know if there was much hope left and so she got in contact with them.

[00:03:20] We made the appointment for 2 weeks from when she called and we flew down here in August of 2025 for our first week of treatments.

[00:03:33] And we enjoyed it very much. Super friendly. Super friendly. And they're not paying me to say that. I'm saying that on my own. They're the very nice people here.

[00:03:43] And um we enjoy it tremendously. So we came and we asked when we were here last time like what's the protocol for another treatment?

[00:03:55] They said well see how you feel and we'll go from there. um about that 8-month window, I was feeling amazing.

[00:04:06] And so we remembered that being here last time, they said when you're feeling great, it's a good time to do it again to give that body an extra boost for the healing.

[00:04:18] So we decided to come again. So we called down and they were just as friendly as they were the first time.

[00:04:26] and we made the appointment and this time we could bring all four of our kids and that was a blessing and is a blessing and we are having a great time as a family.

[00:04:39] I improved greatly and feel so much better and am just so thankful to amunotherapy here and God for it.

[00:04:49] It's amazing to me how our bodies were created and how we can help the body heal itself.

[00:05:00] And that is that is what I feel like um they they try very hard to do here is help the body heal itself because that's what we were made to do.

[00:05:12] And so yeah, very thankful for them here. I'm just blessed and uh if it can help somebody else, I would love to see you get help because it's amazing.
