Can you get stem cell if you take warfarin blood thinner.

If you receive stem cells through an IV, where do the go? What will they target?

I have some arthritis in my shoulder and am considering stem cell tourism :) . I am curious where people are going. Can you give recommendations for various clinics and/or what to look for?

Is stem cell therapy to "reset" pain receptors available in the US? I’ve heard it’s offered in the EU and Mexico. Are there other countries where it’s available, like India? I’m considering this treatment for fibromyalgia.

Anybody heard of them before?

First time seeing them. Lots of obscure clinics out there it seems but always interested to hear experiences. They do good articles.

Here are my thoughts over at The Niche on the scope of possible risks of side effects at for-profit, unproven stem cell & regenerative clinics. Admittedly I'm a skeptic of the clinics generally, but I acknowledge that the relative best of the U.S. clinics that do research and publish are probably relatively low risk for treating things like orthopedic conditions. I'm not sure they provide long-term benefits very often though.

Has this been done? Successfully?

Hi to everyone

I'm a high school student and I want, someday, to do stem cell research. Could I do it during university ( in medicine or biomedicine course ) ? Or it's too expensive ?

Edit: thanks for the knowledge, yall. I will be saying “no thank you” to R3!

Trying to get a sense if there is any legitamacy to this therapy at this point. I am 55, 20+ years on Fin, about 80% retention but interested if this is a legit option.

It is one of the most famous stem cell companies. Has anyone ever been there?

Someone is routinely dropping into threads to post a comment and then deleting each post after receiving one reply. I suspect this is a drop in drop out marketing ploy to avoid sub rules. Is there any way to put a stop to this? Does anyone know the username of the person doing this?

Does anyone have experience using stem cells for aortic valve repair ?

Thank you in advance

I was injured via lifting some years ago and was diagnosed with a mild herniated disc in my lower back. My line of work requires strenuous back movement and I am desperate to find a fix.

I half ass tried peptide therapy and not much happened, PT and chiro doesn’t do anything either.

That’s when I found “stem cells”. I find conflicting information on whether it can fix, or not.

I looked for some real reviews and didn’t find much. I can’t find a before / after photo of herniated disks being fixed…. What are your thoughts?

HI all. First just want to say that I appreciate this community here, and feel for everyone who is suffering from pain. It's a horrible and lonely road and I don't wish it upon anyone. I am hopeful that stem cell treatments have some value, but I am uncertain and it's hard to validate and understand. Which brings me to my quest.

I have T10 to L3 spinal fusion with Harrington Rod for L1 compression fracture in 1995. In late 2022, I began to get numbness in my toes, which has increased along with nerve pain over the last two years due to L3-L4 disc being completely worn out.

In those two years, I have tried conservative approach inclusive of daily PT core strengthening, 10k steps a day walking, chiropractic, acupuncture, gabapentin, inversion table, etc etc but as it is my pain is at 7 or 8 daily and it is challenging to sit or stand for more than 20 minutes, and now even waking up in pain nightly... thus regrettably I have been talking to orthopedic surgeons at Standard as the chronic pain is negatively affecting my family, wife, children, and every aspect of my day. Given my existing fusion, the docs are only comfortable with doing a decompression fusion, to give nerves enough room while also stabilizing the already compromised spine. Unfortunately, if they fuse L3-L4, it's a fusion on top of a fusion and would only be a matter of time before having to fuse L4-L5, which also then leads to L5-S1, possibly quickly, and fusing down to the sacrum fundamentally changes the motion of the body because the pelvis is fused... things like wiping after a bowel movement become impossible apparently :(

So... as per the title... I'm seeking stem cell literature and any researchers focused on the use of stem cells for lumbar disc regeneration.

Would greatly appreciate

1. Links to studies such as this one Autologous BMAC Therapy Improves Spinal Degenerative Joint Disease in Lower Back Pain Patients where outcomes are reported quantitatively through imaging / MRIs (versus purely patient reported scoring) to understand if there's improvements on discs.

2. Contact info / website / name etc. of folks actively doing research in this area.

I welcome DMs or anyting.

Appreciate you.

Anyone gotten it? This is not for male pattern baldness but for the immune disease alopecia, which i have on my beard. Looking for a reputable clinic, i assume in central/South America is the best bet

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here got stem cells injected into their face for any reason and wanted to know the results. I’ve been having this problem which every dermatologist I’ve been to has not been able to help and have said “there’s nothing we can do”. This problem has to deal more with the physiological function of my skin. Thank you.

Hey there. Are there countries outside the US that can do this? I hear it works but my numbers are too low to get into a study. There’s got to be other options besides dialysis or transplant. Stem cells can revive other organs and parts of the body so why not kidneys? Please don’t give me alternative ideas unless it’s related. Dialysis really sucks at 33 and I’m also going to school for aviation on top of it….

I quit xanax cold turkey 2 years ago. Ever since then, my vision became double with visual snow.

My whole entire body became numb and I have pins and needles pain all over my body. It is so painful. My mouth, teeth, gum, tongue, arms, legs, feet, hands, face, torso and eveything is numb and in pain. I also have tremors and spasms. My MRI and EMG were clean. No lyme or mold. The doctors recognized my symptoms especially the visible spasms and tremors but they were nor able to cure me. I have tries all kinds of meds and reinstatinf on Xanax and other benzo have never worked for me.

So stem cells are my last hope. I'm thinking about doing stem cells that can provide neural stem cells in Europe. Only neural stem cells can actually regenerate neurons in your brain. But when you have no inflammation or lesions on your MRI and it is totally brain malfunction or the miscommunication between your neurons or the receptors, can stem cells still fix your symptoms?

This is a stem cell question. Thank you but no "try this one instead of stem cells" or "maybe it is not benzo and could be lyme, mold or this" kind of replies please. I really have tried everything and nothing has worked.

I want to create an app called StemSync for stem cell donors and patients to check their DNA compatibility before stem cell transplants. With a blood testing kit or swab kit, donors can check if they are compatible with the patient to prevent immunological rejection during the transplant process. This will not only reduce the cases of money going to waste when stem cell transplants fail due to immune rejection, but it will also get more donors to step up using gene testing and AI!

The app will destigmatize donor worries, and will have ready-to-go information for doctors to immediately begin the transplant procedure with confidence. I beleive that this is a huge problem space and I can't wait to persue StemSync!

If anybody is interested in working on this or knows what I should do next with this idea, let me know, I'm all ears. Should I contact VCs? Should I develop the app? Talk to stem cell researchers?

Hello! Badly need help kasi our pr1 adviser asked us na magisip ng concept abt technology na makakahelp in our community and gagawan namin ng prototype. Non-existing dapat and if existing, kailangan iimprove.

If anyone wants the truth about CPI Stem Cells of Tijuana, let me know. I had a terrible experience there. I can tell you all about how I feel the sales guy Ian misled me. The cost. The way they treated me when all I wanted was a refund, and how one of the owners (Scotty Nelson) telling us how he bribes the Federalies so he won’t go to jail and how he threatens to beat up patients that argue with him about treatment. It’s nothing like the testimonials that I heard on Joe Rogan.

Could stem cells help with Sjogren síndrome?

Long story short. Ive got 2 weeks before my blood gets taken and I want to maximise my blood stem cell count. What should I eat in order to maximise blood stem cell count?

Hello,

I'm just looking to get some generic advice on what to look out for when doing consultations with clinics. Although I do want to get better, I don't want to surrender to false promises out of desperation and end up with more problems that I started with. I recently had a consultation with one clinic, which claimed that their stem cells procedure had no side effects at all, which I find quite suspicious

Am I too paranoid? Are there any other red flags I should look out for when having my next consultations? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
