Today, stem cell therapy research and development is growing in countries around the world. While stem cell gene therapy is being studied in the U.S., no stem cell replacement therapy has yet been offered here. However, numerous fine facilities that provide such treatments may be found in international destinations.

Americans travel to international destinations to benefits from stem cell treatment procedures. The U.S. has approved funding for Phase I clinical trials of some types of stem cell therapies that may provide productive and beneficial use in the near future, but in the meantime, they’re looking to facilities such as American Stem Cell in South America, EmCell, in the Ukraine, or Integra Medical Center and Stem Cell MD in Mexico for help.

Before you choose a stem cell provider or research center, ask these questions:

1. Can you offer proof that these stem cell treatment therapies work?
2. Can I speak with former patients who have undergone such therapies?
3. Who are (and what are the credentials) of the physician or surgeon administering stem cell treatment?
4. How long has the organization offered such treatments?
5. How safe is the stem cell treatment? Are there risks involved?

Umbilical cord stem cell therapy, placental stem cell therapy and adult stem cell therapy have surpassed ethical and religious controversies to provide hope for the future. Stem cell treatments are available in state-of-the-art facilities found in the Ukraine, Thailand and throughout the world. Hopefully one day soon, stem cell treatments will also be available in the U.S.
