Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy?

Thank you for the very quick response John - much appreciated. I have read and looked at some of what you cited and kind of feel like one lady commented - 'it's all rather overwhelming' and I would add it's hard to know what to believe. The first seminar I attended was in May of 2019 put on by Missouri Institute of Regenerative Health (www.missouriregen.com) and the second was by Summit Health Centers (www.SummitHealthCenters.com) in December of 2019.

@dennyk I know it can be a bit overwhelming. I posted this in another discussion but will repeat it here. I think stem cell therapy holds promise but it's just not there yet and I have yet to hear of a successful neuropathy stem cell treatment although there have been a lot of clinics claiming it works and the FDA has warned against them.
I attached some notes I took at a Minnesota Neuropathy Association meeting August 2018 where the speaker was discussing the outlook of stem cell treatments for neuropathy. The last section of the notes has links to why it's not ready for prime time treatment yet. Also the FDA has put out several warnings on these clinics popping up all over the U.S.
