I have undergone 3 stem cell transplants in the last 16 months. I was my own donor. They were implanted in specific areas of my body and have proved to be very successful. I learned that different types of stem cells work best on certain areas. Fat cells are best to repair things like radiation to the breast (mine was post breast cancer) It takes 5-6 months for the stem cells to establish themselves in the new area and maximize their benefits. For problems I had in my spine and joints, harvesting stem cells from my bone marrow have been proved to work best. They have been transplanted into my cervical and lumbar spines including 6 discs and 12 facets. Also, into both hips and my ankle to help heal post breaking and dislocation of my foot. It has reversed the radiation damage, kept the internal scarring down on the dislocation so I have full range of motion, it's 'made like new' my severally deteriorated spinal problems and healed arthritis and bursitis. It's like a miracle. The doctor's I used (each specialized in a different area of my problems) have been practicing as clinical trials (yes, no covered by insurance, but more than worth it) for over 10 years in the US. These procedures have been done in Europe for over 20 years. I am skeptical about what you have reported about inserting it under your skin or in your blood stream. It's a far more complicated and intricate procedure. I interviewed doctors and researched the subject for about 2 years before selecting a doctor and feeling good about the doctor, research and process. Be selective before proceeding.

The two doctors that worked on me were Joel Aronowitz and Timothy Davis. You can look at their websites and get contact information by googling their names. They specialize in different areas of the body. I saw Dr. Aronowitz for my first procedure and he referred me to Dr. Davis for the spine and joint help. I love both of these doctors and am grateful for the amazing work they did on me. They are both very experienced and in Southern California.

I would be leary, not one single negative effect? Were there trials, if so, what is the info on them, has the fda been contacted at all? I am all for trying whatever it takes for relief, I'm there with my back, but i would need evidence to back up "no negative side effects" take care, soft hugs!!

Very interesting, yo be honest I hate trying new things bc the expectations are always high and the result never what is expected, but this I like I will do some reaserch

Doctor was less than $6,000, surgery center and anesthesiologist was $1,700
