So glad you joined the group and are finding our discussions beneficial. One of my best friends is Brazilian and lives in Brasilia. We have a friend in Sao Paulo we call our "adopted" daughter. I have traveled there extensively. Please contact me if you want to discuss my experiences with stem cells privately. I know they do not seem to help rheumatoid but have been known to help Osteo.

Justin, I'm very interested in the stem cell and PRP treatment. I'm actually looking for a place preferably in California that is very reputable and will try this on cervical disc, arthritis problems. Can you point me to a thread that my address this more than knees? Still have a hard time finding my way around to the correct threads and subjects. I'm willing to go to Mayo if I have to but it's a long way from California. I would love anybody's input that knows about what I just asked. Thank you Jennifer
