The FDA has ruled that our own stem cells, when expanded in the lab to an effective dose level, are a drug, subject to FDA regulations. We feel this is an overreach of their authority. We conducted a survey of the National Library of Medicine pubmed.gov and found that over 2,154 patients across 66 studies have been treated with autologous (your own) expanded mesenchymal stem cells. All studies concluded treatment was well tolerated, no adverse events, no tumors or cancer. Consensus is building that safety has been established, and efficacy can now be the focus.

We also have a news page for the latest on mesenchymal stem cell therapy

It is wrong to force US citizens into medical tourism to gain access to their own stem cells. The State legislature in Kansas has recently passed a bill to fund adult stem cell research, and Texas has just introduced a bill. Please contact me if you want more information or contacts with legislators or doctors who support this.
I was treated May 2012 in the Celltex stem cell trial in Texas, along with 233 other patients for various conditions, 30 with MS and 20 with Parkinsons, before the FDA interrupted the trial. This study will be published in 2014. I've had great recovery from multiple sclerosis, when I was on the verge of the nursing home at age 47, now I won't be needing that.
