In a horrifying cautionary tale, a patient with a spinal cord injury got a stem cell transplant from a Portuguese clinic and developed a life-threatening turn. Columnist hiltzikm explains:
Clinics marketing unapproved stem cell procedures in the U.S. have proliferated, as this 2016 map by Paul Knoepfler of UC Davis and Leigh Turner of the University of Minnesota shows; there are hundreds more today, and many more overseas.
Six years later, he traveled to Portugal for a stem cell treatment. Doctors there transplanted olfactory mucosal cells drawn from his upper nasal passages into the site of his spinal injury. He never got better, but years later started getting worse.Share quote & link
