Has Medical Research become Faith Based Religion?

What Are Evidence Based Medicine Zealots? A co-author on the medical research we publish about stem cells sent me this paper this morning (see below).

For those interested, we are again offering our ground breaking stem cell procedure to treat disc bulges and herniations using Regenexx-C. Above is the sunset from the Marriott on 7 mile beach.
