US FDA Shutting Down Offshore Stem Cell Clinics

August 14, 2010 10:17 p.m. EST The Discover Magazine reports that a Costa Rica stem cell treatment center has been shut down by the Costa Rica?s health ministry most likely due to pressure from the United States FDA. Costa Rica?s Health Minister must be taking his information from the FDA since the FDA is the only government agency that believes using your own bodies cells is unsafe. This is utterly a false and misleading view and is costing lives, people are dying of these diseases every minute of the day.

The very fact that the FDA believes your own cells are harmful to you exemplifies the need to overhaul this agency that has gone completely off the deep end and is highly influenced by pharma executives. There is no truth to the position the FDA has taken on adult stem cells and they have no scientific proof that fetal tissue will not be rejected or will prove useless to cure diseases. The ugly truth is the FDA does not want to cure disease ? it wishes to postpone disease to help drug company?s sell more drugs to consumers of medicine.

Americans rights and freedoms are being directly affected by the FDA and people are not being given a choice in the matter.


The Food and Drug Administration seems to wrongly disapprove of adult stem cell treatments for some reason and it is favoring aborted fetus stem cell research instead. The FDA recently announced it is granting millions of dollars of taxpayers money to a pharmaceutical owned company called Geron.

Geron now receives all the research dollars from the US government under the guidance of the hapless and naive Obama administration. Scientifically or other wise, that adult stem cell research and treatments have a higher degree of favorable out come than fetus stem cell treatments which have the rejection factor for patients to deal with in their search for relief. Adult stem cells re-implanted into the body works and they have been proven to work very, very well. So well that the FDA fears it might even cure diseases that plague mankind and that is their whole reason behind banning this type of medicine.


Obama?s Executive order of March 2009 imply that all research was viable and he opened the doors to ?support science? not shut down clinics in Costa Rica or Denver Colorado. The FDA thinks the opposite of what the President decreed in his order which is not worthy of such a rebuke by a federal agency influenced by big drug company money. It appears no one is listening to what Obama says anymore since he has betrayed his own party on many instances and is allowing corporations to run his office.


The Clinic in Costa Rica was successfully doing the clinical research and treating patients with their own stem cells a procedure which is not harmful and not unsafe as the FDA is reporting it to be for ulterior motives.

This obstruction of health freedoms in the US and now Costa Rica originates from the political influences of the US government which has allied itself with corporate pharmas to corner the market on stem cell research and are shutting down the most successful of all SC research and that is Adult Stem Cells. ASC.

Adult Stem Cells are unadulterated -cells extracted from one?s one body mainly the bone marrow stem cells which is the center of the human immune system. These cells are then multiplied into an army of millions of cells and reinjected back into the affected area or organ. Most patients prefer adult stem cell treatments but the US government through the corporate interest and lobbyists will not allow it. Patients are now forced to travel to foreign countries for vital treatments and are willing to do so to save their lives in progressive diseases such as: COPD, blindness, MS and Parkinson?s disease. These degenerative diseases get worse with time as Nancy Reagan can attest to in Parkinson?s and all other debilitating diseases time is of the essence.

Embryonic Stem Cells are from aborted babies, miscarriages or discarded cells from laboratories and could be contaminated with bacteria plus they are from other people?s cells not your own. Most patients prefer their own master cells to heal their own body not aborted baby cells. Embryonic stem cell research should have never been funded with millions of dollars for it will prove to be a drug company simulation of what stem cells could


The FDA?s response to the needs of Americans is : you can?t have the treatments. We are in control and we are shutting down all adult stem cell clinics so you are forced to wait 2o years and forced to get treatments involving fetus stem cells that are not your own cells.

What the FDA is doing is systematically shutting down all adult stem cell treatment clinics that oppose their views on where science and doctors are allowed to practice and they dictate the rules. This does not happen in China, India, Canada or other democratic nations that are speeding up stem cell research and are not delaying and directing funds to pharmaceutical company?s so they may profit from the research dollars. As the old saying goes ? Just follow the money trail?. The list goes on and on and other countries have been healing these diseases for years now while the US shuts down clinics proving the procedure works.


Heart Stem Cells Repair after Heart Attacks

MS Stem Cells help Heal MS

Arthritis Stem Cells Repair Joints

Even Dogs Get Stem Cell Treatments ? but you Can?t Have the Same says the FDA.

Your dog can get adult stem cells in the US but you cannot and a company called Vet Stem has successfully treated hip and elbow dysplasia in dogs using the dogs fat stem cells which are re-inplanted back into the dog.


Dogs can Have Adult Stem Cell Treatments but you Cannot
The process is not only successful but much less costly than a hip replacement surgery offered now. Watch the Video. The procedures are very simple, harmless and do not need drugs and the data is clear that ASC?s is a fascinating cure for many modern deadly illnesses.

The same good results have been seen in dogs and humans using their own stem cells.

Editors Note: Japan just opened up their first Stem Cell Clinic that will handle all the American sick and dying that it can hold. This is the first of many clinics opening up world wide ? but the US is shutting theirs down.

I would like to see Irv and his ISSCR pals shut down stem cell treatment in Japan. Costa Rica was probably a snap for them, but I think that Japan would prove differently.

What is stated here about the U.S. closing clinics is true as evidenced by the FDA lawsuit against Regenerative Sciences. The U.S. Big Pharma industry is counting on the FDA winning this lawsuit so they can move in and take over the industry. You can bet the companies that the ISSCR boys have interests in will be the ones that will be allowed to give treatments. It will be business as usual just like it is now with pharmaceuticals. This stifles innovation and competition. Prices for treatment will soar. Patients in the U.S. will be the big losers.

If other nations do not cave in to the intimidation that is going on and countries such as Japan forge ahead with clinics and research, then the U.S. will either be forced to compete or fall behind. Unfortunately, of late, it seems that falling behind is something that may be the path chosen. Patients may have to face up to the reality that offshore clinics will be their only choices, but it is certainly better than no choices here in the U.S. Good for Japan! Sounds like they are rolling out the welcome mat.
 
Go Germany!

My bet is that Germany won't "knuckle under" either to the Medical Tourism cabal of U.S. Health Insurance Companies, FDA and Big Pharma's temptation of low cost off-shore "American Medicine". That is why Costa Rica caved so quickly in my opinion.
