Vet's Stem Cell Work May Lead to Human Stem Cell Treatments!

Are you or a loved one interested in receiving stem cell treatment? For free information, please fill out our treatment form or email me don@repairstemcells.org and just put TREATMENT in the subject box and the MEDICAL CONDITION in the message.
This isn't exactly a scoop I have here. The good folks at Vet-Stem have done it again. I promised if they keep helping improve the lives of pets (and in turn, their owner's lives as well) using the pet's own adult stem cells, I would keep posting the news stories about them:

Twyla Waters, a paralegal instructor at Southwest Tennessee Community College, opted for stem cell therapy for her 4-year-old German shepherd, Blue, in late January. Depending on the extent of disease, stem cell therapy costs about $4,000, comparable to a total hip replacement.

“Blue was always active; we go to Shelby Farms three times a week to run in the no-leash area, Waters said. “One day in November I noticed she was limping on her back left leg. I thought it was muscle strain.

X-rays showed Blue had a serious case of hip dysplasia, a degenerative disease so crippling that many dog owners ultimately choose euthanasia as the most humane treatment. Waters decided to fight the disease with stem cell therapy, believing Blue still had plenty of life in her.

Within a few days the dog was sitting better and had a stronger gait.

Another dog saved by their own adult stem cells! Wonderful! However, I found this very interesting too:

However, a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study funded by Vet-Stem last year found that dogs treated with stem cells do, indeed, have improvements in lameness, pain and range of motion.

This is the first I have heard of a double blind study on dogs. One of the obstacles of getting people to accept adult stem cell therapy as an everyday treatment is the lack of double blind studies done for any disease- animals or humans. If anyone has more on this study- results, details, etc. please send them to me.

Update: Ask and you shall receive.  "Reader" was kind enough to point out the results of Vet-Stem's double blind study.  Thank you "Reader." Click here to see!
