Ethical considerations in regenerative medicine involve balancing scientific progress with moral principles to ensure patient safety and autonomy. These considerations encompass issues such as informed consent, privacy, and equitable access to treatments.
Subscribe to the BlogPanama Stem Cell Clinic Reviews : Why Am I Blogging from the Caymans?
Yesterday I flew down to Grand Cayman to once again allow some of my patients access to advanced cultured stem cells. This morning I would also like to compare and contrast what we do here from what’s done in Panama. Hence, this will be one of my first official Panama stem cell clinic reviews. What’s…read more
When Naturopaths Try to Silence Public Discourse : The Harry Adelson Chronicles
I have been a big critic of naturopaths offering investigational stem cell procedures. In my opinion, one of the naturopaths who has pushed his practice act to its limits and beyond is Harry Adelson. I was recently sued by Harry for questioning whether his practice act authorized what he’s doing. Now that the suit is…read more Invitrx Therapeutics: This FDA Report Scares the Snot Out of Me
Let’s face it, when a doctor uses live umbilical cord or amniotic products, he or she adds risk to the treatment equation compared to using the patient’s own tissues. Just how much risk is illustrated by a recently released FDA 483 inspection report on Invitrx Therapeutics.

It’s been a while since I have blogged on the Stem Cell Institute of America. Mostly because I haven’t been seeing as much, but I get sent stuff all the time and this past week I was sent one of their brochures. It was so inaccurate that I thought it was worth a blog all…read more Are Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Treatments “FDA Approved”?
The explosion in birth tissue use where mostly alternative health practitioners use dead amniotic and umbilical cord products and claim to be injecting millions of young stem cells has been fascinating to watch. One of the questions we get all the time is caused by clinics offering these treatments claiming that they are “FDA Approved”.…read more Why the Health Canada Cell Therapy Knee-Jerk Is a Big Deal…
As I have been warning for years, the out of control stem cell wild west would eventually cause regulators to kill even low-risk cell therapies. That’s exactly what happened in Canada this week, where Health Canada issued a position statement saying that even bedside therapies needed drug approval. This is a big deal that should…read more
