Blogging from the Caymans Again!

I’m down at our advanced stem cell practice site in Grand Cayman this week. This licensed site is where we take our more challenging patients who need more stem cells. As stem cells as a concept get more popular in the U.S., we’re seeing more and more patients do their homework and want to have…read more

Why Regenexx Stem Cell Processing Is Very Different

I got a call this morning from an orthopedic sales rep who wanted to sell Regenexx to hospitals and surgeons. I get at least a few of these a month, as the business of medicine is used to selling drugs and widgets. In the case of orthopedic sales reps, they all see that Regenexx is…read more

Regenexx Las Vegas

This week I travelled out to our Regenexx Las Vegas clinic for a site visit. Why? The goal of Regenexx is different from other outfits offering stem cell therapy.

Dr. G’s Magic Stem Cell Pixie Dust

The difference between stem cell clinic reality and what’s advertised never ceases to amaze me. Last year one of these magic stem cell pixie dust clinics came to my attention, but I ignored it. However, another colleague has just again brought it to my attention that it references a comparison to Regenexx, so let’s use it…read more

NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have become a staple in our homes, and the traditional medical community pushes them for everything from simple musculoskeletal pains, sprains, and injuries to disorders like arthritis. They’ve become so commonplace in our medicine cabinets that most people reach for an Aleve or a Motrin for a small headache like they’d…read more
