I am also intending to step waaaay out of my comfort zone and do a stem cell diary on my YT channel, which I don't use other than to consume content. It seems like there is a lack of update videos from people getting SC therapies. I thought it might be beneficial to people in a similar boat to myself who are considering it themselves.

I am 1000 % convinced that Stem Cell Therapy is my best option instead of surgeries & medications with side effects . Please help .

    A hyperbaric chamber at 2.4 atmosphears in a 100% environment helps the body make stem cells. Hyperbaric chambers are commonly used in Russia and Europe. Someone having a stroke in Europe is always put in a Hyperbaric chanber. The oxygen pushed into the brain can limit brain damage and heal stroke damage. In the USA, we are not using hyperbaric chambers. This needs correction.

    I absolutely agree with this researcher in that stem cell therapies are advancing medicine and changing medicine as we speak. However, with all the amazing benefits there are concerns with this type of therapy which I feel most people are not discussing. We are focusing on the positives with this therapy which is not an issue, but the downsides to this therapy needs to be discussed as well including the ethical concerns. Stem cell therapy has a potential to revolutionize medicine by providing treatments for a wide range of diseases and injuries. However, there are several ethical concerns associated with the use of stem cell therapy in medicine. One major ethical concern is related to the source of stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are the most versatile and potent type of stem cell, but they are obtained by destroying human embryos which raises ethical questions about the sanctity of human life. Another ethical concern is related to the safety of stem cell therapies. I am in my second year of medical school now and we have learned that there have been instances where stem cell therapies have caused tumors (unregulated growth of such stem cells) or other unintended effects in patients, highlighting the need for careful testing and regulation of these treatments. Additionally, there is concern about the potential of stem cell therapy is to be used in a discriminatory or exploitative manner. For example, there could be a risk that only wealthy individuals or certain populations have access to stem cell therapies, creating a healthcare inequity issue. I think this also violates the biomedical ethical principle of justice, especially distributive justice describing fairness in care received. Again, the value stem cell therapy could provide would be tremendous and I think would be very beneficial for Madison as a whole. But being that this therapy could be very effective, there is concern the focus on profits and commercialization may lead to emergency use of such technology and untested therapies making it to market, of course putting patients at risk. In summary, while stem cell therapy holds great promise for advancing medical treatment, it is important to carefully consider and address the ethical concerns associated with it seems. This requires I’m going to discussion, regulation, research and oversight to ensure that stem cell therapies are safe, effective, minimizing harm and accessible to all who can benefit from them.

      Very well said, and I’m glad you brought these issues up. All you hear over social media is how wonderful it is when in reality there are risk and downsides, that’s why it’s hard right now to get the funding for extensive research and trials. It’s just not consistent enough since one person can have stem cell therapy and it works wonderfully, and another person can go to the same clinic for the very same issue and it doesn’t work for them at all. That’s why it’s difficult to do trials for FDA approval. I truly think it’s the treatment for the future but personally I wouldn’t shell out thousands of dollars out of pocket right now for a potential treatment.
      That being said I’m having a consultation with my physician for a stem cell transplant which is a potential cure and may put me in remission for years. But it is FDA approved and therefore covered by insurance, but it’s a totally different type of procedure. Someday I hope stem cell therapy will be approved by the FDA and therefore available for most people in need, unfortunately that’s years in the future in the meantime people have to watch for numerous shady clinics whom are run by mid-level healthcare providers, such as Chiropractors who then have to hire NP’s,or PA’s just to give injections because Chiropractors are not medically qualified to give such treatments, so that they’re able to jump in on the mult-billion dollar business.

      wealthy people already have more access to medicine. An example is cancer. Not everyone is financially able to live for many more years and they have to accept that and just count days to die. And what's worse now is the propaganda that a woman must be pretty and youthful. so a lot of women undergo plastic surgeries and die because of complications. Cosmetology/Plastic surgery is basically a big bisness already. It's not about treating real health issues, it's about trying to make your patient look young and pretty. And society is ok with that. We talk about racism, homophobia etc but no one talks how detrimental is the phrase " a woman MUST look good, young" , 'she looks old, she has wrinkles" , "she has thin lips, she needs fillers" etc.

    I believe the use of stem cell research within the medical field has made wonderful strides. The use of manipulating genes, and stem cells in anticancer therapy has had wonderful implications within the medical field. However, stem cell research proposes many ethical concerns, as working with use of human embryos increases the potential risk of human cloning. Cloning human embryos raises concerns about the moral implications of the research and which scientist are altering the law of human nature. When is the line drawn, in which medical technology is providing more benefit than harm? Furthermore, cloning individuals can lead to exploitation in which only the “rich” or extremely wealthy individuals will have access to this healthcare commodity. This technology will already exacerbate existing healthcare disparities, further lengthening the gap between populations. Individuals that would like to take part in cloning technology, may not have the ability to, simply based on economic or social factors. Another point I would like to make, is if everyone had the opportunity to clone themselves, this would lead to overpopulation. Individuals would abuse this technology in which healthcare resources will become even more scarce than they already are, leading to further complications when trying to provide adequate access to healthcare for all individuals. If cloning did become a medical technology accessible to the society, I believe it would be to difficult to regulate and have policies that ensure proper cloning programs and techniques. In summary, I think it is important to measure the risk and benefits pertaining to stem cell research, as proper education, awareness, and regulations must be considered to ensure the proper use of stem cell research.
