A friend had a stem cell transplant for her knee and was very happy with it. So i had it too at 62. It was cells from an umbilical cord. My surgeon told me it might not work at all, or it might work so so or it might be miraculous. Nobody knows why it is so. The cells go where they are needed. My rt shoulder was healed completely the same day from an unbearable pain. My left knee took 8 months to heal completely n my rt knee stopped hurting at night but it still hurt during d day.

As research continues to refine the technique, the potential benefits of this procedure will only continue to grow. advances in reconstructive surgery & medical technology are making it possible for doctors to transplant part (or all) of a face from donor.

When you add better functioning mscs, you allow the body to repair itself, coordinated by the mscs. While the new mscs can’t live long in the toxic oxidative body of an old person, and become incapacitated like their own, the benefit is still obvious, as it would temporarily relieve eg pain while the tissues remain repaired. I’m thinking similar benefit might be obtained from antioxidative strategies: the temporarily reduced oxidative (ros) environment would allow the body’s own mscs to finally do their work. You wouldn’t have to keep the oxidative scavenging up all the time, only until most damage has been repaired, since the tissues don’t break down again right away, and might provide relief for 6 months. The more scalable oxidation reduction means are Vitamin C and DMSO since they can be applied in relatively large quantities. DMSO has a larger half life (12-24 hours) vs vitamin C (1h), but I don’t know how long you have to keep the oxidative environment down for some meaningful repair to take place. Well I’m testing that strategy on my eyes right now, with diluted dmso, twice a day that should keep it level. Since I believe myopia is caused by oxidation and concomitant hypoxia (as supported by papers), this should yield results. Edit: using micro dose melatonin eye drops instead

I don't think that scientists are good educators of society. They are good at bench-work, publishing papers and making great discoveries but lets be honest, very few have a gift of simple and clear delivery of news and ideas that can capture the short attention span of current public.. Talking to a scientist or reading scientific paper is confusing for anyone who is not a scientist. Someone needs to translate. The truth is that sales people are good enough educators; doctors are pretty good at translating science into medicine and explaining it to patients; and media loves to bring spotlight on things that are new and exciting in science. They all might be not perfect.. but they are the bridge between science and society do we like it or not. In addition, scientists are often guilty of categorical thinking with all associated dangers of it.

Assuming umbilical cord and placenta is where they get the MSC stem cells from, it sounds like a great idea. It is not certain that it wouldn’t grow cancer, but I’m suspecting a big percentage of the Panama clients are geriatrics and are likely to have some minor undiagnosed cancer, so if that were a problem they would know by now. Cancer is only a last resort because the body cannot repair the tissue cells, but with fresh MSCs that is unlikely. I do think it’s a panacea. The only downside I can see is you’ll have some foreign cells for years, but so what.

I agree that there should be caution with what stem cells you are working with for the problem you desire to fix and it’s unfortunate that the stem cells turned into different things for those people the guy talked about. But I still firmly believe that big pharmaceuticals are not friends. They and the CDC and WHO and FDA are not helpful enough and are rather well established enemies who only help enough to maintain good reputation.

It needs to be fast to punish the FDA and their associates for their sluggish and shallow reputation oriented “help”.

It's easy for a young healthy guy who's a "scientist" to say wait. If you're living with intolerable levels of pain, you think "well it can't get worse than this, so what do I have to lose." I have had only one full night's sleep in the last month. What typically happens is, I have to be completely doped up and wait for sheer exhaustion to outrun the pain that still exists even on impossibly high doses of medicine. Conventional medicine has done nothing but make me poorer and sicker for the last twenty years. If you talk to the people actually getting stem cell therapy from Wharton's jelly stem cells, you'll hear "miracle" stories. I don't accuse you of being on the payroll of of Big PH, but I do think you're completely inside the research bubble which has a sort of finger wagging view of every modality that they haven't checked out themselves. Don't just give us scary stories, go and check it out, Mr. Scientist.

@G PAll he is saying is that it is an exciting field with promise, but beware of the charlatans. What on Earth is controversial about this or even in need of dispute? (functioning - work or operate in a proper or particular way; functional - of or having a special activity, purpose, or task. I used the right word.)

@@EnglishTipsforFinns Exactly. He even said "stem cells are coming" as in WE WILL GET THERE SOON. He is simply warning us against potentially dangerous and always disingenuous clinics that profess their specific treatments have efficacy that is well-documented. Also, big pharma would make TONS off the treatments as well. You cant patent SCs in Europe, I dont know about most other countries BUT the USA being pro-big business allowed MANY stem cell patents. In fact, if ppl think there is a conspiracy of big pharma around stem cells, it would probably be focused on having the EU acknowledge their existing US patents. The stem cells themselves dont even have to be patentable - the process of cultivating them and the equipment used to do so on a massive scale (if they are novel) can all be patented. 35 U.S.C. §101 sets out the subject matter that is patent-eligible. Section 101 reads as follows: Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. The Supreme Court has identified three exceptions to §101’s broad patent-eligibility principles: laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas (Diamond v. Diehr (450 U.S. 175) (1981)). However, no specific statutory exemptions exist for the patentability of stem cells. The closest that legislation has come to addressing the patentability of stem cells is in the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), Pub. L. 112-29, sec. 33(a), 125 Stat. 284, which states: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no patent may issue on a claim directed to or encompassing a human organism. THIS is where it gets fascinating in a tertiary way. This of course doesnt apply to the vast majority of stem cells BUT the battle over abortion in the United States is easily the most contentious and dividing. If the supreme court rules on another abortion lawsuit it IS technically possible that a ultra conservative ruling will find that life begins at conception and therefore embryonic SCs would of course "encompass a human organism." I doubt it will matter for anything else, but it could influence how Pharma will lobby in favor for or against other types of stem cells. If company X has patents for a process to streamline the use of embryonic SCs and company Y has one for MSCs - it is conceivable that an accidental abortion ruling could take company X out of the budding stem cell treatment market and then dedicate resources to lobbying against other types of stem cells to prevent competitor company Y from gaining a more dominant position in the battle to attract the most medical investment from wall street. Random, I just thought it was interesting.

Well, dear "scientist", with attitudes like yours there won't be any progress in medicine. How long do we need to "do research" in order to have the less invasive treatments which so far have shown the best results? In my opinion scientists like yourself are resilient in using this type of technology as you won't be able to practice your old fashion techniques.

Doctors are human beings & some may overstep to protect their profession in a few cases but all approved medical care is based on research that supports safety & predictable results. Wishful thinking & desperation are not evidence. Someday the promise of stem cells will come true for many more illnesses & disabilities. For now, there is only a stem cell for non-Hodgkins Lymphoma

@@jneff6456 What do you mean by control? There are many cases where stem cell treatments have demonstrated efficacy. Not all treatments are the same. Different facilities differ in the types of stem cells used, how they're cultured, genetically manipulated, and delivered to the targeted areas. Saying stem cell treatment doesn't work is like saying chemotherapy doesn't work for treating cancer. Just because it doesn't work in all cases doesn't mean it doesn't work at all.
