Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 My apologies to the group for not providing contact info. To ask questions of Melinda who did the original posting, and to learn more about the stem cell, you can join the StemCellDR group by going to: StemCellDR/ I cannot answer the questions. I think it is important to understand that not everyone will get the same results. Results vary from person to person. Unfortunately, the only way to know is to try it. Dr. and his family are totally dedicated to this project and he is on the stem cell group to answer questions. I have also done the stem cell and I'm beginning to get results for arthritis and Type 2 diabetes. It is unfortunate that the American Medical society is so money oriented. It is fortunate that we have parents like Malinda who take the bull by the horns to find the therapies that work. > > I hope you don't consider this spam.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The reason so many therapies are not " approved by the American Medical Association " (I believe you mean the FDA, " Food and Drug Administration, " ) is that the treatment has not shown to be successful in scientific tests (double blind study is the highest level, anecdotal the lowest). In my opinion, anecdotal evidence is not sufficient. > > > > I hope you don't consider this spam. I think it is important for parents who are looking at stem cell as an alternative treatment.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Sarang, Melinda's son is now 19. It has only been a couple of months since he had the stem cell in the Dominican Republic. The cost is only $6500 there because it is done in a hospital setting which eliminates the cost of maintaining a clinic. I had stem cell in March and was very impressed with the cleanliness, etc. The cost also includes the hotel and breakfast in a very nice resort hotel. Good luck.
