has anyone had experience with stem cell treatment?

I attended a presentation about stem cell treatment. Very costly,7-10K for one treatment. The treatment is given in your home. They claim 90% effective. No guarantee! If it was that good you would think that they would give some guarantee. My research on the web tells me that it might help for some young people but for old people like me no benefit. The treatment is not covered by Medicare and not FDA approved.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@seasta, @besmith57 there is a discussion or two on your question -- here's one.

I went to the link. I prefer to stay in the USA. I guess it's going to be a while before the FDA approves it. I wish there was something to take the pain away!
