Kerry Matthysen, an athlete, pilot and kinesiologist from Farrarmere, was one of the guest speakers at the Garland Ladies Luncheon Club meetings, which are held at Ebotse monthly.

Matthysen has discovered a natural product that stimulates stem cell regenerative abilities, which could address many aches, pains and ailments.

“I battled extensively with shin splints, which negatively impacted my training, my love for competitive running and overall well-being,” said the marathon runner.

“Like you all, I had tried countless remedies, yet the discomfort was relentless.”

Speaking of stem cell patches, she said she was taken by the wealth of research that went into developing a holistic and natural product which simply gives your body a kickstart.

“Stem cells are the only cells that can regenerate to become any other cell. As you age, you start losing these vital building blocks. By age 30, it is estimated that there is a 60% reduction and 90% by the age of 60,” she explained.

Activated by the body’s natural ultraviolet rays, the specifically designed patches containing copper peptide can reactivate these cells, rejuvenating the body.

“These are not miracle cures. However, continued and area-specific use can alleviate many ailments caused by age or a busy lifestyle,” said Matthysen.

Bombarded with questions ranging from sleep disorders to arthritis, she fielded the Garlands’ questions, leaving them with valuable food for thought.
