No way, Jose.

I just received a follow-up phone call from the company using stem cells taken from body fat in La Jolla, California.  I found out that mesenchymal cells are what they are using. I was told that the stem cells taken from body fat are 100x more potent than what you could get from bone marrow, and that bone marrow is the "old-school" and "prehistoric" way of getting stem cells.
I was told that a down payment of $2500 is required, and then that I would need a loan of some kind, so I could put down the full amount.  No financing.
I believed that I would be getting a phone call from a patient advocate, a former patient that had good results. But no, this was an employee with the company.  Emails have been sent to me along with the phone call, also.
I hope that everything I'm being told is true…

Now to start looking into other companies that provide this service. A few years ago, not long after we moved to Oregon, I was looking at a place in New Mexico and was excited at the thought of going to New Mexico… But then I came to believe that there was no way that these stem cells from body fat could help me. I was still walking with a walker at that point. I thought of the treatment as something to help cosmetically, like going to a spa or something… but now I really want to believe it. I want to believe that stem cells taken from bone marrow really is in an old way of doing it. I want to believe that the YouTube video I saw of a lady, several ladies, attesting to this wondrous procedure is true. I want to buy some time. I don't want to die young. I came to Oregon partly to see my nephew grow up. More than that, I want to grow old with my husband. I'm not done yet.
