If you go back and look at previous threads, you'll find most of this information. It comes up here at least once a month. However, here's the answer o your question:

There are no stem cell treatments for COPD that have been proven to work. The companies that offer them have lots of testimonials from people who would have you believe that they came to the center weighed down by their O2, on inhaler after inhaler, unable to do anything but cough and gasp, and after treatment, they threw their O2 away, tossed their meds and went skipping down the sidewalk. Ask the people fronting these organizations for any proof that their treatment works, such as, increase in FEV1, reduction in use of O2, reduced medications, improvement in 6 minute walk, or even improvement in quality of life as measured by any of the clinically approved measures (St. George, CAT, etc.) and they get very quiet. My friend, Dr. Robert Sandhaus, a world renowned pulmonologist at National Jewish in Denver, calls it "snake oil". There's a reason neither Medicare nor any insurance company will pay for the treatment. And there's a reason they're charging $3000 to $10,000 for treatment: they want your money.

That said, most of the clinicians and researchers in COPD I know believe that the cure will probably have something to do with stem cells, and there are remarkable things being done in regenerative medicine at a number of universities and research centers, so there is progress being made. There just aren't any treatments now that have had any success.

I would further refer you to this site: https://www.copdfoundation.org/Take-Action/COPD... on-Position-on-Stem-Cell-Therapy.aspx This statement was written and endorsed by all the pulmonologists on the COPD Foundation's Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee, a committee on which I have the privilege to sit. These men and women are some of the most respected physicians in the field.

Stems cells may indeed hold the key to a cure, but we're not there yet!

Thanks mate

try LVRS it help me a lot.

Agree totally with Jean. My MD said the same thing. Save your money.

You need to look up LVRS on the internet, I had my emphysema removed from my right lung in March 2017, I haven't had shortness of breath since. Haven't used my rescue inhaler. this is a life changing operation, look it up.
