New Stem Cell Treatment for Fibromyalgia
The treatment performed is a breakthrough medical procedure where Stem Cells (cellular building blocks) are usually administered intravenously and subcutaneously (under the skin) in Fibromyalgia patients. The whole procedure takes approximately one hour and has no known negative side effects.
Find out what happens next at their website Stem Cell Of America or watch the following videos and see what you think.
If you have watched to the end of the embedded video you will see the mother mention "they're trying to stop Dr. Rada or say that he's a terrible doctor....." So there is obviously some controversy around this treatment. (I am not sure if this is the correct spelling of Dr. Rada.)
Before you get too excited about this "new" treatment, please read the following great article I found when researching this topic (and believe me I have only just begun to research it) from the Australian Stem Cell Centre: I am considering going overseas for an unproven stem cell treatment. What questions should I ask?
UPDATE 2022: 'How advanced is stem cell science in curing diseases like MS?'
RESOURCES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO STEM CELLS:
Although there have been major advances in the study of stem
cell biology, and in our understanding of how stem cells can be
manipulated to produce different cell types for potential
treatment applications, at present most stem cell treatment
remains experimental, with benefits and safety still to be clearly
established.
RESOURCES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO STEM CELLS:
- The Canadian Stem Cell Network has prepared a series of information on specific diseases and how these relate to stem cell research.
- The International Society for Stem Cell Research has prepared a Patient Handbook on Stem Cell Therapies.
No I have never heard of it either. Will check it out and see what else they say stem cells can help.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I too am doing a lot more research on it but thought I should get it out there first
DeleteHello there, You have done a great job reporting this new info on fibro. I'll certainly digg it and personally recommend to my fibro friends. I am confident they'll benefit from this web site.
ReplyDeleteAw shucks, thanks Florida.
DeletePlease let me know if you're looking for a writer for your site. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some content for your blog in
ReplyDeleteexchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested.
Thanks!
Thank you Jon for your very kind offer.
DeleteI almost never comment, but I browsed some remarks on this page "Duloxetine in Patients With Fibromyalgia". I do have a few questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be simply me or does it look as if a few of the comments look as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? And, if you are writing on other sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you post a list of the complete urls of all your social networking sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
ReplyDeleteThanks Petra, I probably need to go through and clear out my comments as some of them may be spam. Also many commenters trying to get information about fibromyalgia, seem to have english as a second language. This may be because fibro info is hard to find in their country. My social networking links can be seen as icons in the right hand side bar of this page. I also am the editor at Fibro Blogger Directory which has links to many other great bloggers who blog about fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions. http://www.fibrobloggerdirectory.com/
