@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I have noticed that you are a wonderful resource and I thank you for some of the advice you have given others. I wanted to ask you if there was a way to find an older post I made. cbdl asked about stem cell therapy and I answered about an article in Consumers Reports. I sited specifics about the date, etc. You also commented on the question. If there is a way to look back on my comments, I'd like to find out the details of what I wrote at that time so as to share with… read more
@cbdl, Quite some time ago you mentioned Stem Cell Treatments. I could not locate information I had sent to someone else until now, so here it is:
Hello everyone! I was just reading an important article that is beneficial to all of us with COPD. Beneficial but sad because it will steal the hopes of many as it did me. I am speaking about the March 2018 issue of Consumer Reports. The article is all about Stem Cell Therapy, both in general and specifically to The Lung Institute. I have noticed some of you asking about this and I too did my research and talked to my doctor about it when I first learned about it. As my doctor advised me "SAVE YOUR MONEY" . Adult Stem Cells, it appears do not accomplish what we we need to be done and there are many lawsuits brewing. I hope that you all can get the magazine and read the article, perhaps borrow it from someone. The bottom line is this......it is not a viable solution to correct or improve COPD. So.........Save your money! Hope you are all doing well. Breathe easy.
All my doc friends say the same...save your money!

After much researching, Stem cell does not have the success rate for lungs as it does with ms & other diseases.Lawsuits galore.Maybe someday...we can still pray & hope.I won't give up.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member, Thanks so much for responding. MichaelQuintana responded and was a great help (above). But I am sharing it with you here and now:
