It is borderline criminal for all these scammers to prey on us who are suffering from intense pain. I almost fell for one that involved decompression therapy. The chiropractor sent me for a CT scan which, according to him, showed all kinds of bulging and herniated discs(even though my MRI did not show anything like that). Of course, the treatments were not covered by insurance. $9000+ with easy monthly payments. Luckily, I said I needed to go home and think about it. A cooler head said "NO". This is how most of these scams work. Please, everyone, don't fall for such things.

The stem cell clinics were popping up left and right 5 or 6 years ago and the FDA put out some warnings but I guess they are coming back for round two. Two bad they don't get more negative press.

Maybe consumers with a bad experience should report them to the FDA?
