I recently met a guy who said that they had a bad reaction from donated umbilical cord stem cell therapy. It's all so confusing, I don't know who to believe. Does anybody have knowledge on...

    Manufactured stem cells and lot numbers?

    When I spoke to Novastem months ago, they said that their stem cells have "lot numbers." Basically numbers to identify where they came from and how they were processed I'm assuming. I'm just wondering why Dr. Feinerman doesn't show the lot numbers for where he is getting his cord blood stem...

    I'm getting closer to making a decision.

    So, I I've been doing extensive research and I've come to a number of conclusions. First, I think I'm going to get bone marrow stem cell therapy first (my own bone marrow stem cells). Then, I plan on waiting a year after that to see what kind of improvements that I get. If I don't see any...

    I want to get stem cell therapy from Dr. Feinerman, but can he be trusted?

    After speaking with Dr. Feinerman he seems knowledgeable and cool. However, I just feel like if I'm paying 35,000 dollars for treatment then why can't I see some numbers or reviews? I mean, the whole "trust me, it's safe and works" just doesn't cut it, smh

    Should I get both treatments?

    I've been thinking about getting the bone marrow stem cells from World Stem Cell Clinic first (under 15,000). Then I was thinking about getting the neural stem cells from cord blood second (from Dr. Feinerman) $35,000. Is this a good idea or a waste of money?

    It feels like I'm hitting a dead end with my research.

    I thought this would be simple, but for some reason it's getting hard. I had my hopes up with Novastem and they rejected me, Dr. Feinerman seems really vague , and the other options (adult stem cells) doesn't seem appropriate for my condition. I'm stuck and don't know what to do next??????
