FDA freeing up stem cell access?

One of my guiding principles, and the driving force behind my own practice of medicine, is the notion that we all have the right… and responsibility… to maintain control over our own body.

The philosopher John Stuart Mill said it best… “over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.”

Yet we are continually battling government forces that want to deprive us of those very rights.

Like the right to have stem cell therapy…

Today, new life-saving stem cell therapies are being outlawed throughout the country. Even for the stem cells that come from your own body. Yet there is reason for hope…

There’s been a massive cash infusion of $5.5 billion into new stem cell research in California. The money will go directly to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), which provides funding for stem cell research at universities and research institutes around the state.

Since CIRM was founded in 2004, it has advanced research and treatments for more than 75 diseases — including many of the stem cell therapies I’ve used here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine.

As a regular reader, you’ve heard me say that stem cells are the future of medicine. I’ve been on the forefront of this revolution along with a handful of other pioneering doctors… and I believe it’s truly game changing.

I’ve had great success in the past treating patients with stem cell therapy, and in many cases have been able to reverse deadly chronic diseases. I’ve even had patients say stem cell therapy has “given them back their life.”

But despite this additional funding for research, the FDA continues to do everything in its power to block your access to stem cells… even the ones that come from your own body.

As a result, many – but not

all – stem cell treatments are banned in the United States.

Many conditions are already treatable with proven therapies or clinical trials…

  • Heart disease1
  • Autoimmune diseases, like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis2,3
  • Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases4,5
  • Burns and nerve damage
  • Bone, cartilage, ligament, and tendon damage

But the potential of stem cells goes even further… I believe that stem cell therapy will one day completely eradicate Alzheimer’s disease by altering the cellular malfunctions that cause this devastating condition in the first place.

In fact, experimental stem cell therapies are already available that target the neuronal inflammation, neurofibrillary tangles and plaques that play a major role in the memory loss and confusion that are the hallmarks of the disease.

And thanks to CIRM-funded research, recent advances have already seen type 1 diabetics begin to produce insulin… quadriplegics regain upper body function… and blind patients regain their sight.

Many of these trials are on track to produce new, FDA-approved stem cell treatments over the next few years, for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), schizophrenia, and autism.

Treatments for diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, stroke, and wrinkles are already out there.

Activate your own stem cells – at your next office visit or at home

We offer one of the few approved stem cell therapies at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. If you’re interested in finding out more about this safe, tested and proven stem cell treatment please call my staff at 561-784-7852 for details.

If you live in another state, you do need to exercise some caution… A recent study found that fewer than half of the 166 businesses that were analyzed employed doctors whose formal medical training covered the conditions the company claimed to treat.6 The study also found that some clinics don’t even have a physician on staff!

My advice to those living far away from my clinic is always to start at home. I wrote about this in my report The Great Stem Cell Breakthrough, where I share several techniques on how to boost your stem cells at home. You can find them on page 12 …click here to read the full report.
