big pharma paid for this news piece
-
Why does FDA disapprove it? Because it works and pharmaceutical companies will be out of business. All about money
-
Industry wants to stop stem cells . They work too well
-
Me and three other family member did the treatment. Two had underlying conditions that went by untreated and caused issues. Myself and another family member showed no complications. I recommend doing a full body exam before doing the treatment. Also following up with your head physician after the procedure for follow up examinations. Besides that my life has improved drastically! I’ve regained my ability to function on a day to day basis.
-
Considering the view of the government on marijuana, not going to put any stock in their opinion on stem cells research either.
-
When you suffer from a chronic disease, you’re desperate and will anything to have a better health. I suffer from sclerosis and in November 2022 I travel to Cayman Island to receive a stem cell treatment at DVC. Fingers crossed 🤞
-
Great disinformation about a treatment that actually works, its all about money in America. People go overseas please and get the real thing done.

In 2015 I had stem cell therapy with PRP for treatment of knee pain due to osteoarthritis and I am glad I did. I had knee replacement surgery on my left knee in 2011 and did not want to revisit the process for my right knee when it started to become very painful, making ambulation more painful still. I opted for stem cell therapy at a very reasonable cost at a local clinic and here I am 8 years later to say that I am still doing great after one treatment. I will say that both my knees do get stiff and mildly uncomfortable during very damp weather - always believed the theory that the barometric pressure affected the synovial fluid in the joints was hogwash - not so. Other than that I am walking and I don't have that bone on bone sensation any longer. I don't know a thing about this treatment for conditions other than joint disease so I cannot speak for those cases, but I swear by stem sell therapy for osteoarthritis of the knees. Athletes have been using this treatment for years with good success. My best advice is to do your own diligent research, speak with as many others as you can who have experienced it, seek out the best practitioner with recommendations from those who have undergone the procedure - then make an informed decision if this is right for you. It was for me, I am happy to say.

Chemotherapy and radiation is not safe and effective, which makes me question the FDA as well.
-
FDA just wants money
-
Desperate people resort to desperate attempts to survive & thrive.
-
The FDA moves too slow. People don't always have time to wait 10 years for you to approve something. Especially if you are dying. It's sounds they need to work on faster research and development strategies
-
But take your booster, right? 😂

After I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and a defibrillator was implanted in my chest, I was offered a chance to participate in a world-wide heart stem cell research study. The doctor didn't know if he had placed a placebo in my heart or actual stem cells. All the doctor told me was that I would be the first to know. After 4 years of annual monitoring, the doctor told me that my heart was working normally, but he didn't know if it was because of the stem cells. I don't know either. I do know that heart disease is the number one killer and I am glad I could help find a cure.

I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. I received stem cell treatment. Today my knee is all but pain free. My injections greatly improved my life. I think this news story paints stem cell treatment with to wife of a brush. NBC shed a bad light on the clinics that make their patients better. This is an example why I stopped watching the news years ago.
-
The only controversy is is you! The FDA needs to be an abolished! i’m a pharmacist.
-
Poor woman! This is terrible! Those doctors and nurses should be ashamed
-
China and Cuba are going to offer globally these services.....huge global market. Anyway, none of Trump's departments does anything anyway....dare anyone to name ONE.
-
My husbands old colleague was angry at me for not getting on board with a stem cell company that sells the cure all for his kidney condition, heart, etc. I looked into this company, and found that this treatment is not approved. I cannot jeopardize my husbands health with bogus cures! May have lost a friend, but oh well🤷🏻♀️.

Of course Paid media would disagree
