    For the third day in a row, Twitter has given me a reason to repeat: In 2019, every for-profit stem cell clinic I've ever examined is a quack clinic peddling unproven treatments. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There is not a single one I've yet found that isn't run by predatory quacks.https://twitter.com/laurahelmuth/status/1100780657289187328 …

        Good rule of thumb I have found as a chronically ill patient who believes in #sciencebasedmedicine : Anything described as a "miracle" or "miraculous" is almost certainly a snake oil scam

        One other reliable tip-off is the phrase “ Your doctor doesn’t want you to know this! “ or a leading oncologist has developed an herbal cure for most sarcomas. None of your colleagues have ever heard of this person. OR they are DC ‘s or ND’s

        Sounds about right. Ones I've spoken with are either run by plastic surgeons or chiropractors.

        They are recruiting here in Canada. Jonathan Jarry is afraid of posting the name of the clinic that ran hotel seminars in Montreal. Terry

        LC is looked as quackery by many as well and docs have been prosecuted. If I want to spend my personal money on something I should be able to do so. While I also sympathize with desperate people the world is buyer beware.
