In recent years hundreds of unregulated stem cell treatment centers have cropped up across the U.S. These clinics claim to offer treatments for a wide variety of diseases and ailments by using patients’ own stem cells.

All the while, the ongoing use of these questionable and unproven practices risk poisoning the public’s good will and could jeopardize legitimate research programs whose results may still be years away.

This is a highly recommended read that also highlights the work of attorney Andrew Yaffa in pursuing these dubious centers as well as comments from our founder Sally Temple.
