I recently attended a stem cell seminar and was quite taken with the possibilities. Like anything new, it's so outrageously expensive! The Miami Stem Cell Center has a few locations; California, New York, Florida and somewhere else I think. For MS, it's a clinical trial and strictly out of pocket since insurance doesn't cover a treatment in testing like that. I love Dr. G's The Stem Cell Show - learned a few things on there I didn't know. He's such a charismatic speaker as well.

On the site, you can skim through the podcasts as they have topics posted. I think with all the horror stories about titanium joint replacements, I would definitely go for stem cell treatment instead, especially since they use our own cells... great process it seems!
