Dr. Rennard's reply
Dr. Rennard replied faster than you could eat a bowl of chicken soup. Just as surmised by Harv, he is talking about peer-reviewed literature and not the concept or success of stem cell therapy that patients have had for COPD. I did write Dr. Fernandez-vina to see if he plans to publish his findings in any peer-reviewed publications. If I get a response, it will be posted on this forum.
Dear Ms. Hanson,
I appreciate your comments, and am delighted that you are doing better. Patient testimonials are a source of information, but are generally not sufficient to form the basis for a strong "evidence based" recommendation. It would be well if you could persuade Dr. Freanadez-vina to thoroughly describe his experience. As I said in my earlier emails, to my knowledge none of this has been published in the peer-reviewed medical literature.
Yours,
Stephen I. Rennard, M.D.
