Stem Cell Infusion

Welcome @dkwoods, Definitely not on my neuropathy bucket list - too much money and no guarantees. You might find it helpful to scan through the related discussions in the Neuropathy Support group.

I do think stem cells offer a lot of hope. But where there is hope, there is also hype and charlatans. Just saw this recently and completely agree with it.

Have you done any research into the clinics doing the infusions?

@johnbishop, thanks for the information. I've researched several clinics and keep coming back to Stem Cell Institute of Panama founded by Dr Neil Riordan who is a pioneer in the field of stem cell therapy. The issue as you mentioned is an approximate cost of 30K with no guarantee of helping SFN although it could provide numerous other health benefits. I think 5 years from now there will be a lot more studies and data available of the benefits of regenerative stem cell treatments for neuropathy.

I have a friend with POEMS disease, is fully disabled. He also looked into stem cell but the cost was too much. He visits Mayo once a year for checkup but no new solutions.
