Posted by musimary @musimary, Jun 11, 2024

Has anyone used stem cell therapy for chronic pain, specifically for arthritis in the spinal cord?

Stem cell therapy has not been approved by the FDA as yet. No clinical trials have shown any benefit of the few that there are.

Hi John ~ I'm always impressed with the resources you find to share with us. Have you found any record of longterm use of Lifewave X39? It is a small patch that is worn for 12 hours, then removed for 12 hours before a fresh patch is applied. As I understand it, there is nothing that enters into the body from the patch; rather, it apparently somehow activates the body's natural ability to develop new stem cells (?). Any thoughts?

@bjk3 I just learned of these patches tonight. A friend sent me information for a business venture regarding the patches. I was not impressed with them from that standpoint. They really tell you nothing in the videos. Then I started an Internet search. From what I saw they cost about $150 to $300 for a month's supply but it all seemed very vague. Reviews were mixed but seemed like they might work for knee pain. The patches last for 12 hours. A few complaints that the adhesive doesn't stick well. I think I would have issues with the adhesive! I'd want to see real data!
