    Barbara, Do you have any contact info for the Colorado clinic? A friend of mine suffers from bone deterioration to her spine. She has had surgery twice a couple of years back, but is still in a lot of pain. I thought this might be an option for her. Thanks, alex

    I have been reading up on the different clinics and noticed that for example China uses anywhere from 4 to 7 transplants (one every week) versus other clinics that only use one for the same ailment. I don't understand. Why this difference? Does anybody know?

    Could you clarify?

    Is Dr. Ramirez and SCB the same? In other words, is he the doctor for "Stem Cell Biotherapy"? I am just wondering, since they are both located in Tijuana, Mexico.
