Anyone try Stem Cell treatments or know anything about them?

Specifically umbilical MSC adult stem cell treatments. From everything I’ve seen this is scientifically the truest and fried (aka tried) fountain of youth proven to work in humans.
How long before us gym baws get our powders and pills?

stem cell treatment such as donating them is typically directed towards Cancer patients for all the obvious reasons.

I would think stem cells actually wouldn’t be the best for treating cancer. Couldn’t they encourage even more growth of the cancerous cells?

A guy at my gym had a small tear in his labrum and had stem cell treatment instead of surgery. Said it worked pretty much 100% and the recovery time was 6 weeks instead of 6 months with no physical therapy.

The kicker is this treatment truly works and truly helps people yet the people with the bags of money getting rich off suffering aren’t letting it through the door here.
THIS is the kind of thing people should be outraged over. Families losing loved ones all over when we know and have treatments that work, yet aren’t allowed because they keep the rich from getting richer.

The mainly do it for blood cancers and patients go thru several rounds of aggressive chemo beforehand to make sure the cancer is eradicated. They then harvest stem cells from the patient, clean them and deliver them back to the patient.

I had stem cell implant surgery in my ankle. It did not give me youth, but helped with my issues.

I’ve seen it work for injuries in 2 horses I know. That’s all I’ve got

For blood cancer, yes. On the contrary, they can eradicate the cancer more effectively than just chemo alone.

Joe Rogan sings odes to their power. Him and Mel Gibson and some Dr. Had a whole podcast on it.

Correctomundo.
Not necessarily from the same patient. They can be donated from others.
The stem cells are mostly used to restore the patient's "parent" blood cells which get wiped out by chemo. They are not used directly to treat the cancer, but they do support suppression of the disease, not necessarily attacking an aggressively growing cancer.

You would be wrong.
Last year my dad was diagnosed with leukemia and I was selected to be his stem cell donor. What happens is, they blast the patient with chemo and radiation, virtually eradicating the patient's immune system. They then pump the patient with a donor's healthy stem cells which start to multiply within the patient's body, forming a brand new, healthy and cancer-free immune system.

It's called intellectual curiosity you jack wagon. I wasn't asserting I was right, merely curious how something that seems so counter intuitive would work exactly. Plus outside of leukemia, it still seems like my original concern would be valid for certain types of cancers.

I knew a wealthy individual who went to Russia to have stem cell treatment. He said it helped him but I honestly have no idea why he did it.

If I had "frick you" money, I would blood dope and get full body stem cell treatments just for fun.
I'm sure Tiger Woods does both. And HGH.

I would like to do this myself, but insurance doesn’t cover it.
If I was sure it would work, I would spend the money

My name is not "Jack" nor do I identify as a wagon. You need not be insulted for I was not insulting you. I was merely responding to your intellectual curiosity by telling you that you were mistaken with your approach to the topic at hand.

Pretty well established in the orthopedic world (not established enough for insurance to pay for, but that is a separate issue)
Promising results globally for neurological therapy as well as the aforementioned cancer treatments. We are learning a lot at a rapid pace. At this stage, there are often cases where treatments work, but we don't know exactly why or what the mechanism is.
It's an exciting time to be alive medically speaking.
