I was just at my long time PT person. He said he has a number of people that I've been doing stem cell therapy. One man just flew to Spain because they will use bone marrow and replicate the cells which apparently is illegal in this country. He said that one of the things he seen the most from benefit besides the back, is the knees.
Hi Jim @powerl2017,
What did you learn at the seminar on stem cells? How did you evalution go?
@powerl2017, @jenapower, @19lin
The Center for Regenerative Medicine at Mayo Clinic offers a free telephone 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.
Thank you for asking that Jim. I'd love to also hear cause I only have the information I collected. Jennifer
Thank you so much Colleen! That's exactly what I needed. Asking every source I know for information because I don't want to do something stupid, but I know it takes the FDA a long time to approve things. Love to be in a trial. I will read all of that and call the information line thank you so much, Jennifer
Not having much luck with computers today. I just use your link and went everywhere I can find, could find only a general number, specific numbers for problems I'm not talking about, I found no consult phone number for general questions unless it's just the general line.
Jena, the number should be 1-844-276-2003. Did it not work?
Hey I'm a dumb bell, the phone number is at the bottom of her link. I did speak to them and because I'm in California and they're in Rodchester Minnesota they're pretty much gone for the day, so there's a 0-3 hour time difference depending on where you're located.
844-276-2003
They're sending me an email with it all explained, and they're gonna call me back tomorrow in the middle of the day when the time zones work. They do use stem cell's for orthopedic problems. That phone number will forward you to Orthopedic regenerative department. She said in the email she sending, is the direct phone number. Thank you Colleen, that was super helpful. Jennifer
Try googling doctors that do stem cell therapy in Newport Beach California near Hoag hospital.
