Linda and Carolyn
Hippy-chick era
Sorry. In the
incredible excitement surrounding my 86th birthday six months ago I
neglected to alert you to this valuable contribution. However: no harm, no foul; it still works.
It seems that the “stem-cell clinic” boom
continues and, in fact, is prospering. This link will fill you in,
and you should read it before you pay anybody to squirt stuff into one of your
joints.
None of these so-called “stem-cell cures”
has received FDA approval; but neither have they been banished. Most evidence cited by the stem-cell purveyors
is purely anecdotal; a few clinical trials
have been initiated, but not successfully completed. My guess is that there may be something in
this “therapy”, but it won’t be obvious any time soon. In the meantime: Don’t toss a lot of your hard-earned money
into what very well might be just a fancy bucket of snake oil.
