true blood
therapy: PrP, aka platelet-
rich plasma therapy
what it fixes: Degeneration of
tendons
how it works: the doc extracts
up to four tablespoons of your
blood and spins it out in a centrifuge
to produce a half-tablespoon
of platelet-rich plasma—the body’s
natural healing agent. this super-
concentrated dose of platelets will start
repairing damaged tissue (knee, ankle,
elbow) as soon as it’s injected.
where to find it: boulder center for
Sports medicine (bch.org/sports
medicine). “PrP is under the subset
of autologous therapies—derived
from the individual’s [own] body,” says
Dr. Jason Glowney. “this is sometimes
confused with blood doping, which it is
not. the World Anti-Doping Agency has
approved PrP for tendon, ligament,
and muscle injuries, allowing athletes
unrestricted use of the therapy.”

when loveland artist Angela Canada Hopkins lost her father to cancer 10 years ago, she turned to a nontraditional sort of ther-apy to deal with her grief: Armed with brushes and paint, she focused on an unlikely subject—cancerous cells—and channeled her emotion onto canvas. Since then, she’s been studying photographs of basic cancer cell structures at a microscopic level and rendering
her interpretations to create colorful acrylic galaxies with a 3-D quality. “They are meant to be beautiful expressions of hope, even though they’re inspired by a tragic disease,” Canada Hopkins says. “It’s my mission to bring awareness to the subject so people can liter-ally envision cancer in a different respect, no matter if they themselves are fighting cancer, if they are doc-tors treating a patient with cancer, or if they’re scien-tists developing a cure.” —maryJo morgan
