"Crying watching this video of you my brother. Love you."
Very sad news has trickled up from south of the border that “Dozer” Dave Barnett has died in Tijuana after traveling down with Shane Dorian for stem-cell therapy. Dorian thrilled his legion fans, days ago, when sharing that he was at the Cellular Performance Institute and ready to undergo injections of life-giving stem-cells.
Barnett, a much-loved figure in the surf industry, podcast host etc. was very excited, taking to Instagram, like Dorian, and sharing, “I’m about to get some stuff that’s life-changing. You guys haven’t seen me lately because… everything is going to shit. Getting old sucks.”
He shares all of his ailments, blown out knees, blown out ankles, bulging disks in neck and more.
“It kind of sucks,” he continues, pivoting to how he’s been given such a wonderful opportunity to undergo the stem-cell treatment. He shares about the vitamin preparation, saying one in particular “messed with him.”
Shane Dorian, always effusive, responded, “We got this bro! This post is so damn funny. Do the start about how you’re falling apart is amazing. This is going to be good for you. I’m excited for you. Don’t fall asleep in those MRIs ha ha.”
Dorian, taking to his own channel hours later, shared, he and Barnett spent the previous evening together after treatments, watched the Hangover then went to sleep. At some point, Barnett went into cardiac arrest and was unable to be revived even though many doctors were right there.
Tributes are pouring in.
Vintage surfboard collector Buggs penned, “Doze lost w words, lived life to the fullest . Had a big heart . Classic , funny , Witty, . Will truly be missed by many. I was looking forward to connect in MT . Will miss the frequent calls . RIP Brother and will catch one for you today in your honor.”
The musician Mike Love added, “Crying watching this video of you my brother. Love you.”
Surf industry legend Bob Hurley left crying eye emojis.
Tragic.

I don’t know much about surfing, but as a stem cell biologist, I’ve been studying stem cell clinics for more than a dozen years. It’s really risky to go to them both in the U.S. and other places including Mexico. The clinics mainly just want your money. They don’t do clinical trials or publish strong science to back up their big claims. Here are some thoughts in that context on this sad news about the death after going to a Tijuana clinic: https://ipscell.com/2023/10…
Well, that took a turn.
wait.. I thought this guys were smarter than everybody else when it came to healthcare…
It’s On/In Shane’s Hands now??
Taking in something that is supposed to improve quality of life and instead it kills you. Ultimate bummer.
But as someone pointed out to me a couple days ago “we shouldn’t be afraid of new things” because you know, science is a just a load of bs. Why would anyone be afraid of something that lacks a proper research, right?
I’m sure that if this poor fellah had his time over and was told his life was a possible trade in this procedure he would have reneged the deal.
Yeah, but it’s not the doctors fault because they didn’t know about it. Now they do. It seems that’s how medical research is done nowadays.
On the next Joe Rogan Show, guests Kelly Slater and JFK Jr. explain that this had nothing to do with stem cell injections in Tijuana, it was simply food poisoning from a local street vendor’s taco cart.
Or in weird twist, doctors unknowingly injected him with a COVID-19 vax that was swapped out by dastardly world elite agents, William Gates and Dr A Fauci.
Rogan worship. So very sad.
In God’s Hands…..
What a sad story. I remember listening to this bloke’s podcast. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
Sounds like his health has been going down hill for a while.
Rogan talks about stem cells quite a bit but not about the risks. Covid vax on the other hand is made out to be causing heart attacks left and right.
There’s no grifting to be done from talking about stem-cell side effects.
Patrick Shane Dorian rejects proven Covid vaccine technology but embraces unproven, untested stem-cell therapy that just killed his friend?
Lack of education and basic common sense has consequences.
You can’t script this!
Bingo
Let’s not forget he grew up with Conan Hayes.
ripped out an old surfer mag that has Sean Hayes cover-to-cover including surfing priceless, double overhead (both lefts and rights) waves in the Sea of Cortez. any relation? VTA guy?
Mainland or Baja? I had an old magazine from the 70’s with pics from abreojos in the early days before it became a dump. Last time I went there we had big flies dive bombing our cuba libres. Cheers
here’s the left…the right is ’round the corner…xhomesteade.

did I reveal The Spot?
Proven Covid Vaccine Technology?! The shots don’t work and have killed people.

I’m grossed out that before Shane even talked about his good friends death he talked about how great the process has been with getting these stem cells.
And then he tried to make it seem like Dozer was in poor health and that’s why he died and not these janky treatments????
I’m sorry, what. I would be absolutely livid at Shane if Dozer was a family member or friend.
Fuck – some Dorians words above gonna haunt him!! “Dont fall asleep in MRIs”
Probs easier to go look for the Cup of Christ or Ark of the covenant?
Crikey, poor bugger

Do you think Dorian will finish his course of treatment ?
Yes he was still praising it on his stories…
Do it for Dave!
Doesnt want vax but happy to wing it with experimental Mexican therapy , what could go wrong?
In TJ no less
That’s a bummer, but I’m also willing to bet that in 6 months, Shane will still be like… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
The world is full of well meaning but poorly informed people.
and poorly informed by choice…
Mortality sucks😒
Well I guess it was only a matter of time before one of Chas’s clickbait stories actually turned into a real
Story.
“I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things
that haunt us our entire lives; we are unable to let them go. The good
times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the
times that didn’t go so well.” ~ HENRY ROLLINS
I’m mid on the libtard to sheeple spectrum, but unregulated stem cell clinics have a bad record of serious side effects:
“Many of the AEs identified involved serious bacterial infection, including at least two cases of septicemia, a life-threatening blood infection. Others included serious and even lifelong disabilities such as partial or complete blindness (9); paraplegia (1); pulmonary embolism (6); cardiac arrest (5); tumors, lesions, or other growths (16); and organ damage or failure in several cases that resulted in death. Many of these AEs required hospitalization (104) and caused acute or worsening pain (55).”
