Welcome to Connect, @wba3721
I'm sure that you read through the messages of this discussion. Have you called the Mayo Clinic Regenerative Medicine free consult line? When you call the Mayo's Regenerative Medicine consult service, they will tell you about the availability of approved stem cell therapy at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, and for what conditions. They can also tell you about research studies that are actively recruiting participants. Furthermore, you can add your name to a database to be notified when additional studies and information become available. You can learn more about the Consult Service here http://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/patient-care/clinical-services/regenerative-medicine-consult-service. Or call 1-844-276-2003 to speak with one of our experts.

It can be really difficult to tell which stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine practices are effective and which institutions are offering evidence-based proven therapies. In fact, recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a stern warning against unproven stem cell therapies. The FDA issued these two press statements: https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm573427.htm and https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm573431.htm.

It's important to do your research. Happy to hear what you find out.
Wba3721, are you researching about stem cells and IPF for yourself or a loved one?
