Re: MS stem cell treatment, in China

[Guest guest]

You might want to google Steenblock D.O. in San Diego. He does bone

marrow stem cells, which is legal in the U.S. and sends people over the border

to Mexico for umbilical chord stem cells as well. He also claims success with a

wide variety of issues, including M.S. It is, of course, expensive but less so

when compared to other off shore facilities. I was quoted about $25,000 for both

procedures.

Be careful with the Steenblock. I did google him as you suggested.

This is what found. Seems like he may be involved in fraud.

Keep in mind that " Casewatch " is run by the same guy who runs " Quackwatch. "

He seems to have a definite " anti alternative medicine " and " pro big

pharma " , " pro allopathic medicine " political agenda.

I would take anything on his " watch " sites with a grain of salt. He seems to

be out to discredit any procedure or treatment not approved by the FDA, and

the people who suggest them.

I'm not saying anything in regard to Steenblock, because I know

nothing about him. I've never looked into stem cell therapy, so I am

uninformed as to this doctor's reputation or credentials.
