I tried both and nothing came of them. I also tried stem cells several years before and basically donated $10,000 to a good con artist doctor who is still in business. Yes, there are fakes all around us. Treatments, meds, creams, light therapy.....I could keep going. I will soon start acupuncture. What the heck!!!

@julkun, this is always my fear when new(er) therapies seem to be too good to be true. They usually are.

There is a great deal of hope and a great deal of hype about stem cell treatment. That is why Mayo Clinic offers a free consult service. When you call the 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.

I had acupuncture treatment for arthritis several years ago and found it helpful. Good luck!
