Which Amniotic Product Do We Use?

Because our research demonstrated the widespread fraud that’s going on in the amniotic and cord blood industries with claims of live stem cells in dead products, many have figured I hate these products or have something against them.

We have physicians, sales reps, and others involved in using, selling, and studying stem cells who aren’t quite clear what it is they’re using, selling, and studying. Case in point this morning is a new study being performed at the…read more
