This type of place is driven by a motive of profit only, nothing else. Similar to Rejuvime or Sync in BR. If they happen to help someone that is a fortunate side effect.

Expensive supplements and expansive lab panels are to make money. No significant benefit.

Regarding stem cells:

---

Most people rave about the efficacy of stem cells in areas where western medicine routinely provides less than optimal outcomes

This is something that is very easily testable. Why isn’t there good evidence from randomized control trials showing a major benefit? One reason is these people aren’t interested in doing them.

I’m not doubting that people get better after treatment, but the major confounding variable is time. They would have gotten better anyway.

The truth is that a better path to optimal health is cheap but not easy:
1. Be extremely fit
2. Be muscular
3. Be strong
4. Don’t be fat
5. Sleep well
6. Be social
7. Manage stress/avoid depression
8. Make sure basic health parameters parameters are in range

You believe it based on 2 anecdotes, you don’t know it. There is no good evidence supporting it, anecdotes are essentially worthless scientifically. But it’s your money

You are thoroughly wrong about driven by profits, we are driven by outcomes.

This is such an ignorant statement.

Come by SYNC and I will sit you down with one of our Practitioners for free. My dime. There are studies on stem cells, they are just not done by big pharma.

I agree on all 8 of your truths but sometimes our environment is not conducive to optimal health. Most people on this planet are dehydrated and nutrient deficient. Come by SYNC and tell them Max sent you.

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.

I had 3 tears in my rotator cuff and a torn labrum 5 years ago. I opted to try prp injections instead of surgery. I was completely pain free within 2 months and haven’t had any issues since. My wife has an appointment on Monday in Houston to get prf injections for some back issues. I’m a firm believer in this treatment!
