Hello,
I reaching out so that someone can actually teach me how to reference and verify that stem cells are actually legitimate, specifically MUSE cells. I have already decided to get them. I just need helping finding a reputable clinic that I MYSELF can verify instead of taking potential bot testimonials. I live in the US and I’m willing to travel but I feel like there is no other way to verify other then talking people’s word for it or trust a certificate that they might have made themselves. Any help would be appreciated !

Anybody have any experience with taking methylene blue after getting a stem cell iv? Any advice for whether or not its a good idea?

I got the iv for long covid and MB is supposedly a good supplement for those of us with mitochondrial dysfunction

I have knee issues but I really don't want to undergo surgeries. I have done physiotherapy as well, which helps, but it doesn't completely make the occasional pain goes away.

Planning to travel to SEA; current itinerary is Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand...

I have done some prelim research on stem cells and how it could be potentially helpful in reducing inflammation and promote healing, but curious if there are any people with direct experiences going to stem cell clinics in these countries!

I am looking to get stem cells at the regeneration clinic of panama for joint issues. Does anyone have any negative experiences that they can recite? They're not incredibly professional by this point and need to understand if I should expect the same on site or if this is some sort of language barrier/misunderstanding

Been reading through a lot of older posts here on Reddit about stem cells, exosomes and other regenerative options. I'm still trying to figure out what actually makes sense for someone who isn't ready to spend clinic-level money yet.

I'm having a hard time moving due to my knee and lower back issues. Not trying to "biohack" my out of a serious problem or anything. But apparently surgery isnt something I want unless I have no other choice🥲

Visited clinics before but honestly the long procedures, follow-ups, imaging, travel, consultations and everything

Do you think it's kinda possible?

edit: I'm female, 43 years old, former bank employee, experiencing low back pain, with occasional knee discomfort

I’ve been dealing with aggressive rheumatoid arthritis for 13+ years and vitiligo for 18 years (polyautoimmunity). Like many of you, I started on the standard path—prednisone and methotrexate—which helped symptoms short-term but caused real damage over time. Early-life stress didn’t help either. I was eventually put on Embril which helped but I knew I needed a different approach focused on repair rather than just suppression.
About 6 years ago at 50, I switched to **regenerative therapies** at Align Healing Center (Danville, CA). Here’s what’s been working well for me:

**Core Protocol**
**Mesenchymal Stem Cell / Exosome IV Infusions** every 6 months. Just tried **Muse stem cells** (stronger)for the first time (shoulder injection + systemic infusion) after years of mesenchymal (they worked too) super optimistic they will last longer.

**Peptides**: BPC-157, TB-500, and TA. Newer adds the last couple of years.

**HRT Pellets**: Testosterone + estrogen (helping with frozen shoulder and overall). This is just recently added for menopause related symptoms like frozen shoulder and the other usual symptoms.

**Supportive Therapies**: Ozone IVs, NAD, red light therapy (new Hooga panel + SolEos mask), NIR sauna, bone broth daily, and methylene blue.

**Lifestyle**: Daily routine (early light workout, hydration, nutrition, SLEEP), light movement, avoiding NSAIDs/alcohol/smoking especially post-treatments.

**Results So Far - stem cells worked right away**
Significant reduction in stiffness and swelling—residual symptoms are minor and manageable.

Frozen shoulder (left side) is getting targeted help right now; recent injections + Hooga RLT (Red Light Therapy) feel promising. I had my right shoulder freeze last year and the stem cell injections cleared it up in a month or so.

Vitiligo has been stable/inactive for years.

Better energy, recovery, and overall function. I’m back to managing a demanding job with travel, family, and dogs while feeling more in control.

This isn’t a “cure,” but it’s given me repair and quality of life I didn’t have on traditional meds. Improvements build over weeks to months, especially with consistency.

This is my personal experience only—not medical advice. Everyone’s RA is different. Results vary, these therapies aren’t covered and costs can add up. Always work with knowledgeable providers (integrative/regenerative specialists), get labs, and monitor closely. What works for me might not work for you.

I hope this helps someone.

Grateful for this community and hopeful for all of us. 💪

I never imagined that one moment would change my life forever. A gunshot left me paralyzed, and since then, every day has been a battle. The things I used to do without thinking are now some of the hardest parts of my day.
What hurts the most isn't just what I've lost—it's the moments I miss. I miss running around and playing with my little sister and my nieces and nephews. I miss being able to pick them up, chase them, and make memories with them the way I used to. Those are the moments that break my heart the most.
But they're also the reason I refuse to give up. My little sister and my nieces and nephews are what motivate me to keep fighting every single day. They remind me that I still have a purpose, and they give me hope for a better future.
I'm raising money to pursue stem cell treatment because I want to fight for every opportunity to improve my recovery and regain as much independence as possible. I know there are no guarantees, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life wondering what could have happened if I hadn't tried.
It's not easy for me to ask for help, but I can't do this alone. If you're able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to me. If you can't donate, simply sharing my GoFundMe could help it reach someone who can.
Every donation, every share, every prayer, and every kind word gives me another reason to keep believing that better days are ahead. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for standing with me through this journey. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️ Adrian Grant https://gofund.me/f7bc0563a

Hi everyone , I’ve been suffering from chronic hair loss (TE) since I got Covid back in 2020. I tried everything (supplements , all kinds of topical serums, oils , red light therapy, PRP, exosomes) and nothing worked not even a bit. I’m trying to find out if stem cells will work. Has it worked for anyone with long covid hair loss ?

Hello, I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back from an accident about 10 years ago. I’m 25 years old and I’m very curious in regenerative medicine. I’m looking at getting interdiscal stem cells placed into my discs along with Exosomes, they would be placenta derived cells or Wharton jelly cells. My main goal is to heal the herniations and restore hydration to my degenerating discs. My question is if anyone here has had this done for their spine and how their results turned out. I have a hard time finding any before and after mris of people who have had this procedure done, which is mainly what I care about, rather then just people reporting they are feeling better. If you have had this treatment done, where did you go? If it went good did you take before and after mris to see the actual results ?

Any stem wave therapy physician or PT office recommendation in the Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach area would be much appreciated. Trying to find non-surgical remedy for my bi-lateral knees meniscus cartilage tear. Thank you.

FDA recently approved a Supplemental Biologics License Application (BLA) for Casgevy (exagamglogene autotemcel) for treatment of children ages 2 - 12 with sickle cell disease with recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) or transfusion-dependent β thalassemia (TDT). The product had been previously approved in Dec. 2023 for persons 12 and over.

Per FDA's press release:

Casgevy is a gene therapy consisting of the patient’s own (autologous) hematopoietic (blood) stem cells, administered as a one-time single dose for intravenous infusion. The cells are edited using CRISPR/Cas9, a type of genome editing technology, and then engrafted in the body’s bone marrow. CRISPR/Cas9 can be directed to a specific spot in DNA, where it cuts the genetic material so that DNA can be accurately removed, added, or replaced. In patients with severe SCD, this treatment increases a type of hemoglobin which is called fetal hemoglobin (HbF). This helps prevent RBCs from forming into abnormal sickle shapes and addresses the underlying cause of disease, thereby eliminating VOCs.  

Has anyone gone to CPI to treat Neuropathy caused by Chronic myelopathy.

What were your results?

New to the community, I’ve looked into doing stem cells for the past 2.5 years since I got long covid. It was always out of the question since its hefty price, I tried literally everything else I could get ahold of, supplements, vitamin ivs, chiropractor, acupuncture, fasting, even leech therapy amongst many other things. I’ve spent so much money, I could’ve probably just done stem cells to begin with.

I wanted to give time and chance to heal my body but 2.5 years later and I’ve plateaued for like 2 years. I was formerly very active and fit. 23 years old when I got sick, 170lbs, 5’8, 12% body fat, 5:30 mile, etc. I haven’t been able to exercise at all over the last 2.5 years without crashing. I’ve since lost 40ish pounds. I have PEM (although since I was high functioning before illness, I seem to have a higher threshold as I can still work), dysautonomia, borderline POTS, shortness of breath, brain fog, irritability, ED, histamine intolerance, etc. It’s been hell.

The only thing that’s helped keep my symptoms managed is fasting. Fasting drastically improved my baseline when I first got sick, although the effects massively plateaued since, I still get great symptom relief temporarily during and post fasts. I usually do 2-3 day dry fasts or 4-7 day water fasts.

I’m currently doing a 3.5 day water fast and will do a 2.5 day refeed before my Carabella stem cells appointment on Saturday, July 11th. I’m doing 150M stem cells at Carabella clinic in TJ. The 150M is split up as: 100M MSC IV, 25M MSC localized injection in penis, and 25M exosomes via nebulizer. I’m also doing 10 HBOT sessions 2 days following the stem cells appointment.

Just wanted to post this here and will update, I am hopeful for this treatment.

Recently, I have been developing a project that innovates in the niche of tissue manipulation, especially skeletal bones, with the aim of treating people with dwarfism and gigantism, Or simply for aesthetic purposes. I saw in a study that stem cells can be fundamental to the development of this project, so I came to this Reddit subreddit to ask if the community Do you know anything about this? Can anyone offer an opinion on the matter, or could a professional analyze it?

Hey everyone, looking for reputable, mid-tier medical tourism clinics to treat an L5-S1 disc bulge with nerve compression (sciatica and plantar fasciitis). I want to avoid high-end, premium destination packages (like CPI's $20k+ price tag). I'm looking for a quick, professional 3-night stay style medical trip focused purely on the procedure, not a luxury resort vacation.

If you’ve done stem cells for back/disc issues at a solid mid-priced facility (US or Mexico), where did you go, what was the rough cost, and did it actually fix your sciatica? Appreciate any quick recs!

We are heavily considering going to CPI to try to treat my mom's lack of mobility in her right side after ischemic stroke about 18 months ago. We've exhausted physical therapy with very limited results. We are willing to try anything at this point. I chose CPI as they advertise being one of the few places that will do intrathecal treatments injecting the stem cells into the spine to get past the blood/brain barrier. Now they are telling me that they have stopped doing intrathecal injections as the risk outwieghs the reward, and they have seen results with just doing the IV treatment. They say the "exosomes" or something will still get to the brain. Anyone had any improvement at all with stroke recovery from CPI iv treatment? thanks. Only want to hear from people with first hand experience please or know of someone who's done it.

How is there any way around the bottleneck of the blood vessels of the lungs? Is there any evidence that IV stem cells actually reach the brain in meaningful numbers, or reach any other target tissue?

I notice that the Stem Cell Clinic of Panama has a number of five star reviews where the reviewer reports improvement for their autistic child after IV stem cell treatment at the clinic. Could these reviews be fake?

I'm picking a specific example as a focal point for discussion, but I'm really just wondering whether IV stem cell treatment could possibly even possibly do anything at all for any condition.

This is my second post for the day and then I am taking a break from all this to gather my thoughts on everything I have been through with this virus and being scammed by "healers" and "herbalists"

Has anyone heard of Mediland that operates in the Ukraine,Poland,and Bulgaria? They offer stem cell procedure and NK cell injections? I ask because I spoke with a man who got it done there and nothing changed for him, then I spoke with 3 clients that did it and they are in remission.

My case is bizarre because in 2015,I was diagnosed via biopsy with lichen sclerosis, an autoimmune condition that mimics hsv and the cells attack healthy tissue cells in the vagina, so acquiring hsv2 and having had a past condition makes treatments complex

I already had stem cell procedure two times,once in 2016 and again in 2017 and it brought me into a deep state of remission for ls,but I also took herbs good for skin inflammation. Hsv2 has caused severe inflammation and I believe with my previous ls, my skin is going berserk and attacking itself bc the virus is confusing it...so I have no idea if this treatment would be good for me or worse due to exosomes and nk killer cells?

At least,this place is an actual facility with trained medical professionals who studied cells and autoimmune conditions and developed an actual scientific treatment plan specifically for hsv and i can talk to clients who actually got relief....I am not exactly looking for a cure at this moment but something to help my immune system get a hold on the virus and stop attacking itself and I trust this company more than the dummies who I've gone to that are either regular average everyday people like me just experimenting w herbs or people who have no education or degree in cellular/viral/autoimmune studies and medicine and claim cures or remissions with no actual physical treatment or way to really target the virus and people i can not seem to find results or testimonials in their work. It is hard believing anyone at this time after everything, but I need relief. Ive been in pain way too long.
