Friday March 20, 2009There are countries which have developed stem cells therapies that are not approved in other countries. Countries like the UK and the US have very rigid standards for new treatments. Other countries may get new treatments "online" sooner because they require much less proof.Because of these country-by-country differences in approval standards, a new tourism industry has been created called "stem cell tourism." There are even websites offering "miracle" treatments for multiple sclerosis and other illnesses through the use of stem cell therapy. Unfortunately, these treatments are expensive and, often, not very effective. Think about it, if a treatment were as promising as the advertisement, it would at least be in clinical trials in the UK or the US. If you can't find the treatment in the clinical trials database (try clinicaltrials.gov) then there probably isn't very much promise in it. Don't get fooled by the ads and the hype. Do your homework and save your money.
