Hi everyone, I have a question regarding privacy in the stem cell matching process. My uncle is sending testing kits to family members who volunteered to be tested to see if they’re a match for my aunt, who needs a stem cell donor. The kits are being provided through his insurance.

If I take the test and turn out to be a match, would my match information remain private to me, or would my uncle also have access to this information since it’s being covered under his insurance? I want to make sure I understand who can see the results.

Thanks for any insights you might have!

I am a recent ALS diagnosis looking at alternative medicines/treatments to throw the kitchen sink at this thing early. I've seen some Exosome IV therapy that wouldn't require going out of country. I was looking to work out a protocol of administering 4-6 maybe 8 treatments once every two weeks or once a month, whatever the doc recommends.

What questions should I ask during consultation?

Should I push for a specific frequency to the treatments?

What quality or quanitity of Exomores should be used?

I would assume it should be umbillical, not marrow derived. Thoughts on any of this?

Hey,
I had a TBI recently
I'm planning a trip to mexico already and figured I might stop for stem cells before I depart

Just curious I read some posts warning about infection and other possible risks, are those probable possibilities or more of very low % risk?

Also does anyone have a clinic in mexico they would recommend? I saw some posts recommending DBC but then I saw another post saying not to trust those posts so idk what to think anymore haha

Thanks for your time

I have had cauda equina Incomplete L4/L5 since 2017

I have a neurogenic bladder and bowels.

I can sometimes empty my bladder without self catherising.

My behind is numb so are my thighs and both feet.

Can stem cells, exosomes offer any relief as I get severe nerve pain and I would like to have my bladder and bowel control back!

Anybody know anywhere that does stem cell therapy for hearing loss? All opinions are welcome. Thanks.

Has anyone used NSAIDs after 6 weeks from the stem cell treatments and had a good outcome in a long run?

I've been told that NSAIDs are to be avoided for, at least, 6 weeks from stem cells. But many of us in the sub shared that it takes months or up to a year to see the full impact of stem cells. So I'm hesitant to take NSAIDs after 6 weeks. Has anyone taken NSAIDs after 6 weeks? If not, how did you manage the pain?

I am about to get my first round of stem cells, and I am curious what people's outcomes have been.

Thanks for any information!

BTW, I am doing it for tendon damage.

Is there any evidence of stem cell help here with cartlidge?

Hey everyone,

After months of in-depth research, countless emails to various clinics, and navigating through numerous (often outrageous) quotes, I've finally decided on a clinic for stem cell treatment in Asia. I don't want this to sound like an ad, so I'll wait to share the clinic's details until after I've completed the treatment and can offer some personal insights.

A bit about me: I've been living with Type 1 diabetes for 25 years and am currently at stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). I'm determined to do everything possible to prevent progression to the next stage. I've tried all I can with diet and lifestyle modifications, and now I've decided it's time to explore stem cell therapy.

Interestingly, I learned about a clinical trial here in the U.S. that's studying the impact of stem cells on CKD, and the initial results are positive. This has given me a lot of hope and optimism as I embark on this new path.

I'll make sure to keep you all updated on my journey and share my experiences after the treatment. If anyone has gone through something similar or has insights to share, I'd love to hear from you!

Does anyone have any experience?

I am having IV cord blood stem cells, and exosomes, and my knees injected. How did everyone do after their injections?

I had my hips done and it worked great but the first 48 hours was excruciating pain. Hoping that doesn’t happen again. Curious other people’s experience.

It’s made in the US by BioXStem, from cords etc. the site explains it high level. It comes in 0.5ml vials.

I’d like to understand some of the basic facts / technical info about it.

Cost per vial (not that I’d be able to buy it myself, but I do want to know) Stem cells per vial (approx) Etc.

Thanks for any info.

So after surgeries and other treatments for my shoulder haven’t worked I have decided to try autologous stem cells. What are the most important questions to ask in order to make sure I’m not getting scammed? I’m going to go to all of the providers in my area but I need help getting good questions to make sure I’m getting enough quality stem cells. Thank you!

Hello all. I'm 37 and have a litany of joint and tendon problems that have piled up over the last 11 years (likely due to an unspecified connective tissue disorder). I'm planning on having a hip replacement next year, but I'd like to look into stem cell options first. I would also like to see if there are stem cell treatments worth trying for the tendinopathy in my elbows and ankles, shoulder instability, and arthritis in my thumbs and knees.

I'm located in New York State but willing to travel, including to Europe (especially Spain, as I have a family member who lives there). I'm having brain surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix in a few weeks and I'm hoping to see one of their orthopedic doctors who does stem cells to see if they have any options that would be worth trying.

What other places would it be worthwhile for me to look into?

Hi all just want to see if anyone knows any licensed and fully approved stem cell treatment clinics?

I live in Australia but happy to fly where ever as been diagnosed with progressive MS and looking to get a stem cell treatment done hoping this may help me.

I see there is so many companies out there who are just fakes not approved, buying frozen cells when saying they have a labs ect ect I’ve been looking at dream body clinic and spoken to Josh on the phone an seems decent and helpful and his all licensed up I’m guessing aswell from his videos.

Any help is appreciated just want the best and be in safe hands 🙌

This is acknowledge that my "research" for this was less than an hour (basically fell down a rabbit hole)

So assuming that the idea that stem cells can't be directly replaced due to immune rejection and tumorigenesis is correct, I have the following questions:

-Why can't one use CRISPR and Cas9 to replace antigens on lab created stem cell to avoid immune rejection

-Why can't one artificially choose the time of death for a stem cell to bypass tumorigenesis?

If stem cells can be directly replaced, just disregard this.

Thanks in advance!

I've suffered a TBI years ago and am trying to move on but I am going to be in mexico soon and figured why not try stem cells

I saw some posts warning about infection or possible illness, are those real risks? or just very small % like anything else

Is there any clinic in mexico that is recommended? I was planning on going to DreamBody after seeing some reddit posts, but then I saw some other posts saying not to go there so I figured I'd ask haha

Thanks for your time

Hello, Im 29m and I have ET and PTSD

in other words I have a destroyed frontal lobe as well as hippocampus and amygdala.

Im just planning to have msc IV injection in about a month(200~250 million)

and I think I might have to play a lifetime gamble this time

Its like taking some tianeptine or other antidepressants to maximize the effect of the

msc injection.

according to some articles, antidepressants helps msc to differentiate to nerve cells

and ofcourse I could not get these cells through the intrathecal way so

do you guys think this gamble would worth the risk?

any opinion might help

best wishes as always

Has anyone been to her? Wondering what her prices are like?

She recommends 2.5m unexpanded cells per 60lbs of body weight, so 5-10m MSC cells depending on the person. That’s a lot fewer cells (but unexpanded) than the offshore places, and she claims unexpanded is 10:1 more potent. I don’t know enough about this space, those are her claims not mine.

She has an active YouTube with lots of followers. Interested if anyone knew her pricing? Thanks.

Hello,

looking for some input on pros and cons on these two forms of extracting stem cells.

Autologous stem cells (from own body - fat or bone marrow) have of course been used the longest and are in general cheaper to use at a clinic. On the other hand they will not generate as many stem cells as those from allogenic ( expanded or not from donors e..g umbilical cord or lately MUSE). I guess it here depends also on the particular condition that is to be treated.

One argument has been for using autologous stem cells that the body would not attack them as they come from yourself. However from what I can gather the development in allogenic stem cells e.g. from umbilical cord or muse means that they are basically "neutral" so they will not cause this effect.

Furthermore, if you are middle aged/older your own stem cells might not be so effective anymore so this could speak for using donor stem cells to get best results. Besides they are less likley to pose any cancer risk albeit the risk is small I assume.

However I have also come some accross some research related to the Yakinaka factor indicating that e.g. Bone marrow stem cell can be regenerated up to e.g. 80 year's old.

This was a simplistic point of departure so please do share your insight on this.

Thanks in advance, ED.
