agree, my neurologist said for me not to waste my money
Hello @don261, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. Many of us have wasted a lot of money on suspect treatments. It falls back on each of us to do our own research before signing up for expensive treatments with no real science or clinical trials behind them. Here are a couple of references you might find helpful for evaluating treatments.
The International Society for Stem Cell Research has created a take-along PDF handbook with information to help you and your family make informed decisions about stem cell treatments.

NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) which offers guidance about integrative health and how to evaluate it.
