You can see a screenshot I took from their website recently to get a sense of their marketing. The Stem Cell Institute offers injections for a wide menu of health conditions using umbilical cord and other kinds of cells. While it does some research, I dont see that as its primary mission. I dont know about you, but for me the name institute implies a non-profit research institution, but to the best of my knowledge The Stem Cell Institute is a for-profit. This place seems particularly successful with their PR too. The Stem Cell Institute in Panama strikes me as risky on some specific levels such as having many children getting unproven cellular injections as part of their business model. I also view some as posing potentially higher or lower risks on different levels. There are stem cell clinics all over the world, but some draw more attention and customers than others. My most recent item on this Panama place was related to the puzzling threads between them and the Duke Autism Program.
Ive written many times before about Celltex and a bit aboutRegenexx, but less so about The Stem Cell Institute.
These three firms are quite different though. You should consult your childs pediatrician.īoth the Panama clinic place, run by Neil Riordan and called simply enough The Stem Cell Institute, Texas stem cell clinic Celltex, and the Regenexx clinic brand come to mind in this long-termer category. There are definite risks too and the procedures are expensive. The most rigorous study to date by Duke suggests no consistent benefit. In my view there are no strong data to support this claim, particularly on autism. The Stem Cell Institute in Panama claims that umbilical cord stem cells can help autistic children and people with other conditions. Quick Article Summary and Claim Review.Stem cells are a still unproven approach to autism and other conditions. Long-time stem cell clinics | The Stem Cell Institute in Panama | What they sell | Who works at The Stem Cell Institute? | Lack of expertise & specialty training? | Lack of data | Cost of stem cell therapy in Panama $16,000-$30,000 and up | Take home message | References Overall, I believe there are serious reasons for concern about The Stem Cell Institute. Think of it as a fact-check or a scientific review of a sort. Todays post is focused on this Panama stem cell clinic.
Its been an odd parallel existence for more than a decade. Somehow time has flown by so that Ive been around for ages in the stem cell universe and some unproven stem cell clinic type firms, like the well-known Panama stem cell clinic that sells autism treatments, are also long-timers.
