Discover how regenerative medicine for dogs and cats can slow aging, improve health, and promote longevity. Learn about stem cell therapy and other treatments in this two-part series.
Regenerative medicine is making headlines for its healing potential in dogs and cats as well as humans. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? In the first section of this two-part article, we take a close look at regenerative medicine for dogs and cats, how it works, and why it’s revolutionizing how we care for our animal companions.
Understanding the concept of regeneration
Regeneration is the process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts. The “side effects” of regenerative medicine are age reversal, anti-aging, or “youthing” as some call it.
Regenerative medicine focuses on developing and applying new treatments to heal tissues and organs and restore function lost due to aging, disease, damage, or defects. These treatments can come from unexpected places and expand beyond what we consider normal therapies.
Regenerative medicine has roots in ancient wisdom
The foundations of regenerative medicine originate from the ancient wisdom of traditional and indigenous healers. This approach to healing stems from the belief that the body knows how to heal itself.
Regenerative medicine maintains a landscape that supports health. “Create the conditions for health, and disease goes away,” says Alberto Villoldo, a biological anthropologist and shaman. “Not only that, it doesn’t even manifest.”

In the 21st century, as science catches up to this ancient wisdom, we now understand the molecular structures and biological mechanisms that enable regenerative medicine. The question remains as to how these ancient cultures achieved regeneration. Energy medicine provides the answer (see sidebar on page xx).
“Quantum leaping” and its role in regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine transcends the confines of Newtonian physics and enters the realm of quantum evolution, or quantum leaping. This is a concept that relies on the quantum world to rapidly implement changes needed to thrive and evolve.
This is how birds evolved from reptiles; they didn’t just start growing feathers but became flighted from one evolutionary moment to the next.
In the process of quantum leaping, we and our dogs and cats can become healthy and free of disease. Our immune systems no longer need to learn through exposure to pathogens. Additionally, we can upgrade the quality of our energy fields, which in turn upgrades our bodies.
Therapies used in regenerative medicine for dogs and cats
The main therapies for regeneration target the cells, the structures within the cells, mitochondrial health, cell metabolism and reproduction, and life function. Here is a list of therapies used in regenerative medicine:
- Supplements and nutraceuticals — mainly in the form of antioxidants and cofactors such as vitamins, minerals and enzymes
- Stem cell therapy – involves harvesting undifferentiated cells and putting them into areas of the body where you need them to become new cells
- Platelet rich plasma (PRP) — harvested from the blood to create new tissue and cell growth
- Telomerase extending therapy — prevents the degradation of the DNA helix strand and extends the life of cell reproduction
- Prolotherapy — injecting a substance into a joint to create an immune response
- Energy or frequency medicine — sound, light, meditation, prayer, journeying.
Regenerative medicine goes far beyond symptomatic therapies
We are moving beyond relying solely on biochemistry and pharmaceuticals for healing as we confront the profound limitations of symptomatic therapies. Regenerative medicine focuses on longevity, ensuring that your lifespan – and that of your dog or cat – matches your health-span.
We are learning to understand the deep energetic interconnections we share with our animal companions and see in them reflections of our own inner states — mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically. Along with this, we are seeking ways to achieve better health and longevity for both ourselves and our dogs and cats.
Healing is a multifactorial event that considers all aspects of wellness. This includes environment, nutrition, lifestyle choices, as well as the thoughts we think and how we navigate our emotional landscape. As most functional medicine doctors say: “You have to become healthy to be healthy.” All healing starts with the mindset to be healthy.
In the second part of this article, we will dive deeper into the various therapeutic options used in regenerative medicine for dogs and cats.
Energy drives biology
Our bodies, and those of our dogs and cats, are built for health. All tissues and cells have the ability to regenerate. To support this process, we must understand the mechanisms underlying bodily systems.
All matter is ultimately made of atoms and subatomic particles governed by the laws of quantum physics. Biological processes are built upon the transfer of electrons from one molecule to the next to create a reaction. This movement of electrons is fueled by energy.
We and our dogs and cats are essentially energetic beings: energy drives physics, physics drives chemistry, and chemistry drives biology. Ultimately then, energy drives biology.
Unlocking the secrets of DNA
Our animals’ bodies (and our own) are protein-making factories. All cellular and tissue processes rely on the adequate production and function of proteins. Proteins – indeed all of life — comes from a blueprint of information known as DNA.
Within our DNA is a world of information that goes beyond the realms of Newtonian physics and biochemistry. It extends into the fields of electromagnetism, biphotonics (which involves the interaction between light or photons and the body’s tissues, cells, and molecules), and quantum mechanics.
What does this all mean? Simply put, the genetic material that creates and propagates the instructions for all life is a multifactorial blueprint whose fundamental nature is attuned to the world of vibration, frequency and resonance.
