Chemo can cause More Cancer by Injuring Healthy Cells

Chemo can cause more cancer by injuring healthy cells?  We’re only just beginning to learn how drugs impact cells. I’ve blogged before that we’ve seen many negative side effects of prescription medications on stem cells. For example, we’ve seen a reduction in stem cell yields with both Proscar and Propecia. Frankly, I didn’t know they were the same…read more

New Regenexx-SCP Platelet Infographics

Distilling a bunch of scientific lab data into one page for patients can be tough. Having said that, it’s also helpful to have a summary of the information that we use to base our clinical decisions in a format patients can easily digest. Hence, I’ve been trying to get our published, yet to be submitted,…read more

A Low Back Disc Emergency in a Physical Therapist

CW is a local physical therapist to whom I have referred many patients to over the years. About a month ago I got a call from him that he was unable to move, stand, or walk. He had had a prior low back surgery many years ago and had treated himself for smoldering, but had mostly mild back…read more

What if the Hi Tech Industry were Regulated like the Medical Industry?

A friend came over the other night and as we sat watching the kids, he told me a story about a company in the tech space he admired called “Square”. The company grew from a tiny start-up making small square add-on devices for the iPhone that processed credit cards. It’s now a 3.25 billion dollar company in 4 years. This got me…read more

Regenexx-C Knee Stem Cell Infographic

Knee Stem Cell Research PDF In keeping with the Regenexx-SD infographic I released yesterday, I thought I’d take our knee stem cell research data on Regenexx-C and create the same kind of document. As stated before, this is registry data, in this case it’s been published in the peer reviewed literature. Note that despite 50% more knee replacement candidates being…read more

Regenexx-SD Knee Stem Cell Patient Outcome Infographic

As promised last week, here’s the final data on the Regenexx-SD knee stem cell procedure for arthritis. More data may be reported as we slice and dice the information, but we now have enough so that a simple one page infographic can be created for patients. As usual, we will be submitting this data for…read more

Regenexx-C, the FDA, and Mark Twain

Regenexx-C the FDA and Mark Twain….I’ve received quite a few e-mails from patients this past week asking if we are still seeing patients after the recent court ruling (or the end of round 1 of our landmark stem cell case). Our disagreement with FDA over Regenexx has always been about the Regenexx-C stem cell procedure only. So…read more
