re: Way2Well

Show me the evidence for improved outcomes in humans from double blinded randomized placebo controlled trials.

I believe your thought process for offering an alternative service/treatment goes something like this:

1. Is it plausible? There is likely a biologic mechanism through which a treatment would be beneficial. For stem cells, it's the idea that your body regenerates tissue from the stem cells.
2. Is it popular?
3. Is it profitable?
4. Is it not harmful?

This is not good enough. Mechanistic data is not good evidence of anything, it's only at starting point. It almost always leads nowhere once put to the test in trials. High quality outcome data is all that matters, which is lacking in alternative medicine.

But please show me the outcome data you use to justify your treatments. Surely you know it well right?

You believe you are not doing harm with this thinking, yet I believe it is harmful through it's cost to patients and, more insidiously, by eroding trust in medicine.
