US Stem Cell Inc (USRM)

Quote LOL, "Heather Young on Facebook, Patient TBI-001

"I've been treated at the US Stem Cell Clinic for a TBI and have seen quite a significant improvement! I'm getting close to my old self and see a full recovery in the near future. I've been completely satisfied with all the customer service and would happily refer them to others!"

HOLY COW. WOW. Golly, info from FACEBOOK, LOL !!

So now the "science" of ole USRM is based on FACEBOOK "testimonials" aka un-scientific ANECDOTES from the little "clinic" that USRM owns only 33% of, and the one that's offering NON FDA APPROVED so called "treatments" on U.S. soil. REALLY?? That's their supposed rigorous "science" that they'd use to someday gain FDA or ever run actual FDA approved clinical trials, ever again????

Why did Comella go on-camera at a conference in late 2015, and say they are operating in a "regulatory gray zone" and the FDA could potentially issue them a "cease and desist" at which point they'd "take it off-shore" and that "if anyone were to get one from the FDA, it's likely us" (paraphrasing, but I have the video and it's even on Youtube, she says it all. Even states it to people in the audience in response to questions being asked). WHY? If this is all the "cat's meow" then why would they be in a "regulatory gray zone" and concerned as a company about what the FDA might do in taking legal action against them? WHY? WHY? WHY would Comella say that to a public audience? WHY? Maybe it's cause of some recent FDA actions like this one- a "warning letter" (serious) aimed at NON FDA approved "treatments" being done at so called "stem cell clinics"??? MAYBE?? (One of those "clinics" of which the FDA is taking formal action against- just happens to also be in good ole FLORIDA. SHAZAM. )

So....Wow, a Facebook page anecdote. Like those are real "science", LOL??? Never seen those before; like only a BILLION times for every medical hoax, vitamin hoax, magic "cure" and any other BS non "medical" sham in existence???

HOLY COW, what incredible "scientific info" like..."seen quite a significant improvement" !! AND...."getting close to my old self" LOL !! Doesn't get anymore "scientific" than that? Kinda left out the functional MRI brain or SPECT scans, the neurological battery of testing that would remotely PROVE anything has "improved" etc. But gee, "like my old self again" pretty much seals the deal I guess?

Gonna send this right over to the FDA for review. I'm sure they'll be excited to know that no clinical trials are needed in medicine anymore, as Facebook now takes care of all that "pesky" kinda "stuff" and junk. Maybe even send it over to the FTC since it's "advertising", and the claims may be untrue.

From an actual PhD leading research scientist in the field, and also from a leading academia site/group in the field of "stem cell research" and also from several major news outlets:

"As the issue heats up, the FDA has scheduled two public meetings in September to get public comment on draft guidance language on stem cells.

In a statement, the agency said, "In theory, stem cells may advance the treatment of many other diseases or conditions; however, at this time, the value of stem cells as a treatment for most conditions is largely unproven and more information is needed about their potential benefits."

The agency added that it is "concerned that the hope patients have for treatments not yet proven to be safe and effective may leave them vulnerable to unscrupulous providers of stem cell treatments that are illegal and potentially harmful.""

"Michael Werner, executive director of the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, agreed. "The proliferation of the so-called stem-cell clinics is potentially harmful," he explained, "because the treatments may not undergo, or have not undergone, the appropriate scientific rigor that takes place in evaluating new technologies and new medical treatments.""

BUT.. BUT... BUT it's on FACEBOOK, LOL !! WOW. Must make it all "legit" and totally "proven science" and actual I guess then?????????

Any reason why TWO key BOD members just left ole USRM, one being probably their most qualified as an actual, practicing, UCLA based M.D., with a thriving medical practice? WHY, WHY would a BOD member who's a UCLA affiliated M.D. with a thriving medical practice, published in numerous journals and medical texts, etc why would HE QUIT THE BOD if this is all supposedly "about to go BIG" and all??? WHY? Why was the other BOD member FIRED right after that, making TWO long standing BOD members now GONE? WHY?

MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. But hey, that's just me.
