Should FDA restrict our use of our own stem cells?

I believe that one of the next challenges in the wellness movement is the FDA’s control over your own stem cells, or as I call them, personal stem cells….

Personal stem cells are simple to understand.  I’m not talking about embryos, umbilical cords or artificial cells grown by some scientist in a lab.  When I talk about personal stem cells, I’m talking about master cells cultivated from your own bone marrow or fat.

Yes, you have stem cells in your own body that can heal you…Your own cells can be used to heal any number of physical ailments, including orthopedic issues.  Orthopedists have been using the procedure for years, and there is also evidence that stem cells can be used to heal autoimmune diseases.

 

Personal stem cells are as natural as marijuana, and the federal government should acknowledge that your use of your own cells should be a transaction between you and a licensed physician, and regulated at the state level.

Right now, personal stem cells are technically legal, but the future regulatory landscape is so uncertain that few physicians offer it and few Americans can afford it.  Rather than expanding access to personal stem cells, the FDA has recently tried to restrict their use.
