US Stem Cell Inc (USRM)

[Dragon Lady]

"Gross violation of professional and possibly legal standards"

Those words were penned by (and he's writing about USRM):

Dr. George Daley, dean of Harvard Medical School

NEW, NEW AND STUNNING "NEWS" published LAST WEEK !!

http://uk.businessinsider.com/ap-doctors-say-unproven-stem-cell-treatment-blinded-3-women-2017-3

"In an editorial accompanying the journal report, stem cell expert Dr. George Daley, dean of Harvard Medical School, called the clinic's treatment careless.

"This report joins a small but growing medical literature highlighting the risks of such wanton misapplication of cellular therapy," he wrote. Providing such treatments for profit outside a proper research setting "is a gross violation of professional and possibly legal standards," he said."

THAT is the DEAN of the HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, in his own words, talking about U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC and how they blinded THREE WOMAN (three at least that are known at this point)

When the damn DEAN of perhaps the most prestigious medical school on PLANET EARTH takes time to write an editorial, to accompany a paper that reached publication in the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE, well, you got some problems at your "biz" IMO.

Don't "think" the damn FDA listens to the DEAN of the Harvard Med School? That is one tight fraternity of folks there, and they influence Washington D.C. in a big ole way, in every aspect. The pinnacle of the IVY LEAGUE and their graduates hold seats often, on every key committee and chairmanship and position of power in every circle of influence that matters.

The damn DEAN of the Harvard Med School singled out USRM and U.S. Stem Cell Clinic and published about it, in his own writing, on his own dime and time. WOWZA.

The two blinded/medically harmed women so far went to through the CIVIL COURT(s) process; IMO, my opinion only, who the hell freaking knows if their is a "legal investigation" on-going, as the FDA and similar agencies who do such investigations never, ever, ever tell anyone if they have any "open" or on-going investigation which for FDA and similar behemoths can take YEARS sometimes to complete, as they move at snail's paces due to being mega govt agencies (other folks who often help the FDA are the FBI for example as shown in the now famous 60 Minutes series on "stem cell fraud" as they called their investigative journalism piece when it ran, so IMO it wouldn't be far fetched perhaps for the FBI or similar agencies to participate in a situation as described by the DEAN OF THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL and the serious allegations he and other experts have "indicated may have occurred" in this case, since a Federal govt owned database was claimed to have been likely mis-used to entice "patients" to believe the treatments were "legit" when there was ZERO known or proven scientific efficacy (the world class experts said that in numerous world class news publications) said that injecting fat derived stem cells would do anything but likely harm them, advertising of this bogus procedure apparently took place across state lines, maybe even outside the country, it involved CASH-FOR-CLINICAL-TRIAL practices which are considered highly unethical per multiple expert commentaries in the NEJM article itself and numerous experts interviewed about the article in subsequent world-class news publications, etc).

The DEAN of Harvard Medical School used the word "legal", specifically (meaning potential legal violations were committed in his very, very expert opinion, WOWZA !). STUNNING TO ME. AMAZING.

So far the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL ARTICLE and all the subsequent medical experts, many the leaders in their respective fields, continue to be interviewed and quoted and proliferate across the world. See the list of articles below...STILL GROWING. STUNNING TO ME, just damned amazing what took place in this cluster F mess:

LATEST UPDATES:

Because of the extreme prestige and incredible reputation and credibility of the NEJM, that RECENTLY PUBLISHED MEDICAL ARTICLE/paper, it just got spread literally WORLD WIDE via being picked up by every major and credible NEWS SOURCE ON PLANET EARTH, just to name a few: DRUDGE REPORT, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, NPR, NBC, ABC, Washington Post, AP news wire services, Reuters, several of the UK major papers, as far south as New Zealand, and then India, Singapore news (hello Southeast Asia/Asia Pacific last time I navigated those airways), Africa (oh gee, ANOTHER continent), Japan (uh oh, major, major world power, big time newspapers and TV news, that covers East Asia, getting real close to China) plastered all over Canadian press, looks like probably EVERY major "Florida" news source ran with it and still going, the N. America papers look like they covered every major outlet from Alaska to the Eastern seaboard and everything in between including powerhouses like Chicago, many stories only being hours old as of this AM (Magazines now picking it up too; just made Men's Magazine, which happens to land in just about EVERY DOCTOR'S OFFICE I've ever had the pleasure of parking my butt in their waiting room lobby, in the past 5 years or so), and it's still propagating rapidly across the "news wires" even this AM as I just checked my aggregator to see what's "hot", and it's smoking hot, like Disco Inferno on fire hot:

Looks WORLD WIDE TO ME....and still going (wonder how their little clinic biz thingy is gonna survive this mess? Anyone looking up their name to research um, is gonna find these stories/links for YEARS to come IMO, as they're in the who's who of major publications/press now)

http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1609583

SEE THAT DATE ON THE NEJM "recent" published MEDICAL ARTICLE. It's dated MARCH 16th, 2017, which to me, MAKES IT "NEW" NEWS. NOT "old" as is falsely being claimed. It can take a long, long wait to get published and get a publication date in the NEJM. Who knows how long ago that excellent paper was submitted for review and publication?

LOOK AT THAT, freaking CIRM, the California major stem cell group/govt agency ran the story. DAMN, that can't be good for ole USRM, especially if they're now trying to pitch the FDA for some supposed "approval" for gawd knows what?

Stanford, that's a power-hitter on-par with HARVARD in the academia circles. Big league academia, like world class.
