From day 1, Stemedix has shown class A professionalism with their informative healthcare. Sarah, Becky & a host of other Stemedix employees were excellent in securing any doubts or concerns that I may have thought. Trust me, if you're suffering from an autoimmune disease, you really should invest the time to learn more about stem-cell transplant with Stemedix.

It's been two years since the stem cell intrathecal treatment and I have not experienced improvement. However, Stemedix has followed up with a new treatment option that has had success with other patients and offers hope in treating primary progressive multiple sclerosis. I am encouraged that this may possibly address my mobility issues and I am delighted that Stemedix is interested in my progress as a patient.

I have multiple sclerosis with very minor symptoms. My eyes sometimes have trouble focusing for brief moments, I have moments where I have trouble balancing, and I very quickly get dizzy in the heat. My symptoms can be better characterized as annoying inconveniences than lifestyle-altering.For regular treatment, I am currently on the Coimbra Protocol, a high-dose Vitamin D3 and supplement regimen. The treatment has been life-saving as it's kept me from taking harsh pharmaceuticals and stopped progression of my MS. I sought Stemedix as a supplement to my daily treatment and to hopefully regain any lost abilities.After only two weeks on my stem cell treatment, I began to regain a more focused vision. My eyes weren't bouncing around nearly as much or as often, and I could focus. I looked over my shoulder at my young daughter - a movement that typically would strain my vision and cause me to squint just to focus - and I was overjoyed that I didn't have to squint or close one eye like Popeye. She looked back at me confused as to why I was grinning and turning to look at her several times. I just couldn't get over how quickly the stem cells were returning abilities that I had forgotten I'd lost. When the spring and summer return to our area, I'm excited to see how the treatment worked for my heat intolerance and my balance. I'd love to return to riding my bike! In the meantime, I'll take any improvements, no matter how minor, I can get, and I'll definitely credit the treatment.As for Stemedix and Dr. Khan, I cannot recommend them enough. The care coordinators, staff and facility is top-notch, and I would recommend them to anyone seeking stem cell treatment. I would also highly encourage anyone to strengthen their treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Overall, the stem cell treatment is one of the best forms of treatment for my MS, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My appointment at Stemedix flawless. My daughters were picked up at our hotel and taken to the clinic. Someone was there to escort us to the clinic which was nice as we had never been there before. The entire staff were professional and informative.At six weeks I was contacted to see if I had experienced any results. At that time I had not, however I was not discouraged and at10 weeks I noticed a remarkable difference not only in the way I felt but also body movement. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia had affected my whole body and I hurt from head to toe. I’m beyond thrilled with the results of the stem cell injections and I’m told that it will continue to work for months to come.I feel like, after two and a half years of pain, that I have some of my life back.Thank you Stemedix

We were a bit apprehensive about going to a foreign country to receive Stem Cell treatment. Our worries were completely unnecessary. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at Fort lauderdale Airport to the time we took off back to the UK. The whole experience was very professional and extremely positive. The staff were so friendly and immediately put us at ease. The actual procedure was fairly quick and painless, in fact even though this was really serious business for my husband to have this procedure, it was a very enjoyable experience for us as a family.Thank you so much Stemedix

I was essentially debilitated by left hip osteoarthritis. Went to orthopedic doc who x-rayed and told me I needed hip replacement. He called it "major" surgery with 6 weeks downtime and a walker. I've had 2 family members with negative outcomes after the hip surgery. So, I researched stem cell solutions and found Stemedix. Went to Costa Rica for the treatment. I'm at about 90 days. Debilitating sharp pain is gone. Still have some mild aches in the hip, minor, and nothing like before treatment. I was having my wife put on my left foot sock as it hurt too badly to do it. Now I can without pain. Range of motion is improved. As example, I could not reach the bottom of my left foot to wash in shower while standing..now I can.The procedure was less painful than a filling at a dentist. It took about 3 hours. Only one doc and a tech involved. Walked me thru the whole process before. Explained the equipment, everything. Very professional and friendly.As a bonus , I had pain in right knee for over a decade. I never mentioned the knee to Stemedix. In the procedure they split the cells between 2 injections in hip and the rest into blood stream. Knee has not hurt at all since.I personally know one person who died from a hip replacement surgery within the first 24 hours....so I wasn't going to have one without trying stem cell first.Their transport met me at the Airport, very nice lady who drove me and communicated daily. The International hotel was great. There is a huge mall across street with grocery and restaurants. When I first arrived, I walked over to the mall, pain was so great I could hardly cross the street. Day after treatment, I walked over with clearly improved hip and improving more with time.Happy I went. Worked for me....UPDATE 4/27/19...Its been 6 months....Range of motion continues to improve. Most days are zero discomfort. Beats chopping off hip bones any day.

I had stem cell therapy October 4th, 2017 for both COPD and RAFor the first year, there was not a lot of change. Then suddenly, I noted the changes. Could be that the changes were so slow that they went unnoticed.Today, for the COPD I use only one inhalation per day of Trielegy Ellipta, instead of 6 inhalations of Combivent Respimat a day. For the Rheumatoid Arthritis, I receive one shot a month of Cimzia, instead of one shot a week of Enbrel. Note that Medicare pays for the Cimzia, and does not pay for the Enbrel.I feel much better, and at age 80, I get around so much better, I plan to return to the work force. (at least part time)I'm very grateful of the assistance from Stemedix.Bob Murphy

My name is Dwight Messinger and I am an Air Force retiree. I retired in 1983, in 1984 I was diagnosed as a diabetic at that time I was 40 years old Now that I am 76 years of age and totally disabled due to a product called agent orange the results were that I became a type two diabetic . I also ended up with kidney failure deep vein Trumbosis and swelling in the legs high cholesterol high blood pressure just to mention a few . I needed 100% of symptoms which are unrepairable to qualify for 100% VA pension, I have the equivalent of 220% much more than I need. I researched many companies for the last six years who offers stem cell transplant and by far STEMEDIX is the best and most professional . The Stemedix Team based in Miami Florida are the coordinators who guide you medically to assist you inqualifing for the stem cell transplant prosses. My wife Trudy and myself both needed stem cell transplant. We chose to go to Costa Rica for the simple reason that Costa Rica has the most qualified doctors and medical staff presently in the world today . They have the most professional team and staff that I have ever encountered to assist you through every single phase of the transplant process. The whole team from the doctors to the driver who picks you up at the airport speak fluent English not to mention that the cost is about half of what you would pay for the same treatment here in the United States . Now the best part that I want to say is, I have been home a week and a half and I have almost no need for insulin I walk without having my legs swollen and I feel the way as I walk Without stumbling. I can’t wait for my doctor to give me my blood test to see exactly where I stand medically. The best part, as a bonus that I want to mention is the fact that I haven’t hair on my head for over 50 years, yes you guessed it I am growing hair on my head and it is about an eighth of an inch long all over. Thanks to STEMEDIX and COSTA RICA . I would never hesitate to have have any procedure done in that country. Thank you STEMEDIX

WONDERFUL!! Everything about the experience with Stemedix was outstanding! We are both nurses and I was looking for stem cell transplants and information related to memory loss-alz disease, etc. I first found a company in Chicago area and contacted them. After one call inquiring about their program and giving a brief medical history-less than 3-4 minutes, I was called the next day saying my wife was accepted! No paperwork sent, no lab work, no actual assessment only a few questions asked. I then found Stemedix and so glad I did. Our experience started with Sarah Day who was wonderful. I talked with Sarah briefly about my wife's medical history, the 11 surgeries in 9 months and some of the issues she was having. Sarah was very sincere and talked with me about the process and that they had an option in Costa Rica that was less expensive. Sarah sent me info and then called to see if I had any questions. She later called me and asked for some medical information so I faxed 66 pages of medical history, tests, scans, etc. A few days later she called and said they had reviewed her records and need some additional lab testing to see what her current medical status was. She emailed me the lab order and told me I could go to a local LabCorp lab in our city and they would fax the results to Sarah. A few days later Sarah called and told us that my wife was accepted for the stem cell transplants and asked when we wanted to schedule the procedure. I told her I would get back with her in a day or so and when I did Sarah gave me several days to see what would work best for us. I called and told them what appointment time was best for us and we got scheduled the week that was best for us. We opted to drive since my wife currently has multiple fractures-lumbar-sacral-pubic bone and right pelvis (all related to chemo and radiation therapy) followed by multiple fxs due to osteoporosis that was accelerated. The multiple surgeries were related to a post op wound infection following insertion of internal and external fixators. We arrived at the Residence Inn which was beautiful and Stemedix already had our suite reserved, etc. That evening Becky showed up to see if we had arrived and if things were ok. The next am my wife had her first HBOT treatment and Becky was there again to see if we made it to the clinic. The HBOT treatments went very well. Becky called several times to check on us. On the pre-op visit, we met both Dr. Balshi and Dr. Khan and they were wonderful with great "bedside" manner. They explained everything asking if we had any questions, etc. The day we showed up at the Stemedix clinic Becky was there to make sure we made it there and that we were doing ok. After Dr. Balshi removed the stem cells, they were taken to their lab for processing. While waiting in the waiting room, Dr. Khan had the nurse come ask if I would like to be there when he put the stem cells into my wife's spinal column. He gave me a mask and did the procedure and was very good asking if she was having pain in her back due to the many fractures she has had over the past 3-4 years. Due to the fact that we were told that my wife should not have caffeine for several days, she got a terrible headache. Dr. Khan sent Becky to Dunkin Donuts to get my wife fresh coffee! How thoughtful! Things went well and weather was beautiful in Delray Beach area in the 72-84 range while our hometown in Indiana was having winter snow and ice storms closing a few bridges in our area. We hated to leave beautiful Florida but finally had to come back. Sarah called me several days later checking on my wife and said she would be calling again in the next week or so and check on my wife. Everything was great and we have nothing but positive comments about the process and the entire team at Stemedix. I have already shared their info with a friend's of my sisters who has MS and is declining medically. If you are thinking about stem cell transplants--we recommend Stemedix and feel fortunate I found them. Bill and Sharon C-indiana

8 weeks post treatment and my knees are better than they were 2 years ago. I should have done this sooner.I had age management treatment on my knees, wrists and right shoulder. The staff in the USA and Costa Rica are the best. Everything was done in a very professional manner and every question was answered before during and after the treatment.I recommend STEMEDIX to anyone interested in stem cell therapy. Thanks for everything Kenny

After a great deal of research we found Stemedix to be our final choice as we found answers to all the questions and were handled in a professional manner. We were treated extremely well from start to finish. And now Stemedix has followed up several times to see how we are doing. This is a class A+ company, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who has a need for stem cell therapy.

Suffering from 17 bulging discs and 1 herniated disc my life was constant pain. Pity is what I saw in multiple doctors faces after seeing my x-ray and MRI results. I was only 22 when the first doctor told me if he had to guess how old the person was only based off of the x-rays and MRI’s he would guess he was looking at a 60 or 70-year-old man. He he wasn’t the first to make similar remarks. I tried chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, deep tissue massage, spinal decompression therapy, actuatic therapy, opiates, NSAIDs, cortisone injections and nothing gave me relief. My pain has gone from severe to manageable and It’s only been a few weeks since my injections and IV, so I am excited to see the improvements yet to come. I had the umbilical cord stemcell treatment with platelet rich plasma injected into my spine and dr. Farrell and her team were absolutely amazing!!!! They talked me through the entire process and made the environment very comfortable to be in. The stemedix team made the entire process from the initial contact to post procedure check up a breeze. Really great communication with their staff and they really seem to care for your well being. I’m really glad I found stemedix and can’t thank them enough for the hope they’ve brought back into my life.

My husband was treated for stroke recovery at the Costa Rica location. The entire team was great. We are waiting with great anticipation and fully expect to see some major Gaines from the stem cell procedure.Update: .We are now past the 6 weeks mark and are seeing some breakthrough! Sean is now starting to walk during therapy without his cane. He has more endurance and balance. He also claims to be able to feel more on his left side. It's very exciting!!!

My husband has been suffering from Parkinson's Disease for 10 years. After falling & breaking his neck 11 months ago the symptoms excellerated rapidly. He started Stemedix treatment process 10-22-18 & completed 10-25-18. This is our 3rd day home & tremors have started reducing, violent tremors @ night have stopped the last 2 nights giving him 9 hrs. of sleep each night. Which he hasn't had for 11 months. We are very thankful for any sign of improvement. Especially, excellent care given to us while he was going through from preparation to go to FL from CA, time we were there in treatment to the trip back to the airport. Stemedix, DelRey Beach, FL is an answer to prayer. Thank you Stemedix, Joel Dean Moore

June 28, 2018On June 20, 2018, I had Stem Cell Transplant/Therapy.There is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis but this SCT has been known to reduce, if not eliminate the symptoms.Because I had a progression of symptoms in the last 7 months, I was on the hunt for something, anything, other than another drug, that I could afford.There are a few, privately owned clinics in the US, Mexico, Costa Rica and Russia, that are doing something different. Stemedix is one of the first clinics to open in the US. They specialize in stem cell treatment and research for degenerative conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, COPD, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Stroke victims, and Lyme Disease. They take the persons own Stem Cells from adipose (usually abdominal fat). Centrifuge it down, mix the stem cells with your own plasma, and then put those babies back into your body. In my case, they put them back into my body intravenously and intrathecal (into the spinal cord).Because this type of Stem Cell treatment is not FDA approved and there are no clinical trials or data, one has to REALLY go out and do their own research. My entire neurological team was very much against this. And in their defense, they are scientists who follow the studies and clinical trials. And just like everything good in this world, there are bad. There have been clinics that blinded people, taken people’s money (a lot of money!) and there were no positive results. Even my friends who are physicians said, “It’s a scam Joni”, don’t do it! I was very alone unsure of the decision to do this. What if they are right and I'm wrong? What if I spend all this money for nothing? But what if I don't, and my progression of symptoms continue to worsen?My choice to use Stemedix was the best decision I ever have made. Geoff, my MS Buddy had SCT 15 months ago. Geoff was always clear and concise, that he hade made the right choice to use Stemedix for this SCT treatment. He consistently answered my unending questions. When I finally made my decision to do it, he said he was looking forward to welcoming me to 'Team Normal.'It's only been 8 days since my SCT. Within 24 hours, I felt like a fog had been lifted from my brain. Within 48 hours, I walked just over a mile with my husband, which I hadn't been able to do in years. Within 3 days, my heat sensitivity diminished by at least 50%. The last 6 months, I consistently wake up with spastic legs & cramps, at least 3 to 4 times a night. For the last 7 nights in a row now, I have slept all night without waking up once. I’ll never take a good night sleep for granted again.Stemedix tells you that you won't see the full benefits of the SCT for approximately 4-6 months. I added Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into my treatment. Stemedix recommends the HBOT treatments. This is a ‘dive’ in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for 60 minutes at 2 atmospheres. I had 3 dives before the SCT and 2 the day after. I believe the HBOT makes a huge difference in decreasing the inflammation and helping your body to heal itself. I am seeing improvements much quicker than I could have hoped for, and I believe it’s due to the added HBOT treatments. My hopes are that the SCT will also help with by left eye vision, depth perception, balance and gait. How long will this miracle healing last? Time will tell because we just don't know yet. Would I recommend Stemedix? ABSOLUTELY!For the first time in several years, I am not just hopeful about my future; I'm excited about my future!As I’ve told my Neurologist team:“I don’t want to live forever, I just want to LIVE WHILE I’M ALIVE!"GO TEAM NORMAL!"Joni Zwick

I was diagnosed with MS back in 2002. Since then I had been slowly declining & had gone through so many medications for this disease to help slow it down but I did not have the good luck that others have had in controlling it. I needed to try something new that I had heard good things about. I was able to cross paths with another fellow that also had MS that had gone to Stemedix & had good results. I went forward with it & I cannot say anything negative about this whole stem cell experience at Stemedix. I recently got treatment from there. The entire staff was caring , knowledgeable & professional. Dr Khan was great, as were Jackie, Bonnie & Fred. The next day after treatment I already noticed a difference for the better. I would definitely recommended Stemedix to anyone considering a stem cell treatment.

I had stem cell done in 2016 for Multiple Sclerosis at Stemedix. I had recently spent a few months at the Shepherd Center and was in and out of a wheelchair prior to coming to see Dr. Brown. Most days I could not walk, I needed help to do basic functions and was on a huge bag full of pills to try and manage my symptoms. Stem Cell was a game changer for me! It is now 2018 and I have not had a relapse in 2 years (prior to stem cell I was averaging 3-4 relapses a month), my seizures are way down (I've had one in 6 months versus having 2 a day prior to stem cell). My wheelchair is in the basement gathering dust!! I feel and operate like a brand new person. And because of the benefits of stem cells, I am now off of three meds I used to need every day and two other meds I was able to cut the dosage in half. Not only have I regained my life and functionality back, I don't need near as much medicine to help keep my MS stable. All of the staff we interacted with were top professionals, the kindest and most knowledgeable people and helped walk us through the process with ease. I cannot give Dr. Brown and her staff enough praise for the work they are doing and how they treat their patients. I recommend stem cell to everyone I know. This is the future of MS therapy! I would do it again in a heartbeat, and hope to be able to do another stem cell round soon.

Stemedix is a great company. I was very fortunate to find them during my research about treating my Multiple Sclerosis with stem cells. The doctors are outstanding and very knowledgeable about the diseases and treatments. The patient coordinators are available to you every step of the way. Stemedix arranges everything to make sure the patient is able to focus solely on their treatment and they follow up with the patient following the procedure.

I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone with Stemedix is kind and caring and takes the time to answer all of your questions no matter how long that may take and never make you feel as though you are being rushed or keeping them from doing something else or possibly running behind schedule.I could barely speak prior to my treatment as 1 of the many complications from MS. Within 24 hours of my treatment there had been a 90% improvement in my speech. It is a true miracle. I thank everyone at Stemedix for their kindness and compassion. They truly want to help people. Dr. Kahn in my opinion is the best he did more for me in 24 hours than western medicine did in 15, I actually declined on western meds. Thank you Stemedix for saving my life....

I was diagnosed with MS in 2009. My health spiralled from being a very active 5 day a week gym girl who hiked and jogged nature trails to not being able to walk by 2012. The nerve pain and spasticity was unbearable at times. Once independent, I became a hermit. My body rejected the MS medications and I began to research possibilities for treatment. I decided on stem cells because nothing foreign was being introduced into the body. No surgery or chemo was being used. The biggest gamble was $ if the treatment did not produce desired results. Taking no action could cost me my life. It was pretty much a no brainer for me.I had to make the important decision of which clinic I would go to for treatment. I contacted a Pacific based company and was instantly turned off by the ‘call centre’ environment and conversation background noise. I was straining to hear what was being said and frustrated having to repeat my emotional story due to a chaotic audience. Then I contacted Stemedix and received a call back from their client Care Coordinator Sarah. First I noted there was no background noise and that the conversation was private. She focused on what I was saying and asked her own questions. When I inquired about any information, Sarah was prompt in her response by phone or email.Due to my problem with mobility it was a relief to have help attaining the required medical record needed. The Care Coordinator was able to act on my behalf with a signed consent form. The communication flowed at an effective pace and soon my treatment was scheduled.Stemedix arranged for my accommodations and travel to and from the hotel, clinic and airport. The clinic staff and doctors were very professional and friendly which offers comfort during a trying time. The treatment itself was made easier due to the care and consideration given by attending doctors and staff. There was no down time or recovery period needed so all in all it was an awesome experience. I am in the repair healing stage following my stem cell treatment and the Care Coordinator keeps in contact on a regular basis. I would definitely recommend Stemedix to anyone considering stem cell therapy. Just make the call and I am certain you will receive the communication and comfort you need when having to make such an important decision. God bless!

I have been dealing with chronic Lyme disease since 1998. I tried all kinds of treatments from antibiotics, I.V. and naturopath etc... My wonderful Dr talked to me about stem cells treatment when I started to look it to it I couldn't afford it so my 2 beautiful daughters started a go fund me page by the grace of God we were able to raise all the funds . I Thank all my family and friends for their generosity and support with out them I wouldn't be able to do it.A huge Thank you to my coordinator Jackie and office staff that there were there to answer all my questions and concern about the procedure.Treating physicians and all his staff were great they all put my husband and I at ease by explaining in words that we could understand. I made a lots of research about stem cells in different states and country.After all I decided to do Stemedix because there were very honest and no pressure at all . So if you ever decide you need the stem cells I would recommend Stemedix.Thank you so much to all that was part of my journey.God bless you.Carole.

The staff and doctor was helpful and really considerate with my two idiot friends and I. My only issue is with the final results didn't really work for me personally. I have spoken with other clients that have had the same treatment as I did and it worked great for them. I fully believe that my problem is just with my body, not complying with the treatment. The staff is still in constant contact and are genuinely concerned with the treatment not working for me. I appreciate everything that they have done for me and I more than likely will be back for a different stem cell treatment that might work for my condition.

It's been two years since the stem cell intrathecal treatment and I have not experienced improvement. However, Stemedix has followed up with a new treatment option that has had success with other patients and offers hope in treating primary progressive multiple sclerosis. I am encouraged that this may possibly address my mobility issues and I am delighted that Stemedix is interested in my progress as a patient.

I have multiple sclerosis with very minor symptoms. My eyes sometimes have trouble focusing for brief moments, I have moments where I have trouble balancing, and I very quickly get dizzy in the heat. My symptoms can be better characterized as annoying inconveniences than lifestyle-altering.For regular treatment, I am currently on the Coimbra Protocol, a high-dose Vitamin D3 and supplement regimen. The treatment has been life-saving as it's kept me from taking harsh pharmaceuticals and stopped progression of my MS. I sought Stemedix as a supplement to my daily treatment and to hopefully regain any lost abilities.After only two weeks on my stem cell treatment, I began to regain a more focused vision. My eyes weren't bouncing around nearly as much or as often, and I could focus. I looked over my shoulder at my young daughter - a movement that typically would strain my vision and cause me to squint just to focus - and I was overjoyed that I didn't have to squint or close one eye like Popeye. She looked back at me confused as to why I was grinning and turning to look at her several times. I just couldn't get over how quickly the stem cells were returning abilities that I had forgotten I'd lost. When the spring and summer return to our area, I'm excited to see how the treatment worked for my heat intolerance and my balance. I'd love to return to riding my bike! In the meantime, I'll take any improvements, no matter how minor, I can get, and I'll definitely credit the treatment.As for Stemedix and Dr. Khan, I cannot recommend them enough. The care coordinators, staff and facility is top-notch, and I would recommend them to anyone seeking stem cell treatment. I would also highly encourage anyone to strengthen their treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Overall, the stem cell treatment is one of the best forms of treatment for my MS, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My appointment at Stemedix flawless. My daughters were picked up at our hotel and taken to the clinic. Someone was there to escort us to the clinic which was nice as we had never been there before. The entire staff were professional and informative.At six weeks I was contacted to see if I had experienced any results. At that time I had not, however I was not discouraged and at10 weeks I noticed a remarkable difference not only in the way I felt but also body movement. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia had affected my whole body and I hurt from head to toe. I’m beyond thrilled with the results of the stem cell injections and I’m told that it will continue to work for months to come.I feel like, after two and a half years of pain, that I have some of my life back.Thank you Stemedix

We were a bit apprehensive about going to a foreign country to receive Stem Cell treatment. Our worries were completely unnecessary. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at Fort lauderdale Airport to the time we took off back to the UK. The whole experience was very professional and extremely positive. The staff were so friendly and immediately put us at ease. The actual procedure was fairly quick and painless, in fact even though this was really serious business for my husband to have this procedure, it was a very enjoyable experience for us as a family.Thank you so much Stemedix

I was essentially debilitated by left hip osteoarthritis. Went to orthopedic doc who x-rayed and told me I needed hip replacement. He called it "major" surgery with 6 weeks downtime and a walker. I've had 2 family members with negative outcomes after the hip surgery. So, I researched stem cell solutions and found Stemedix. Went to Costa Rica for the treatment. I'm at about 90 days. Debilitating sharp pain is gone. Still have some mild aches in the hip, minor, and nothing like before treatment. I was having my wife put on my left foot sock as it hurt too badly to do it. Now I can without pain. Range of motion is improved. As example, I could not reach the bottom of my left foot to wash in shower while standing..now I can.The procedure was less painful than a filling at a dentist. It took about 3 hours. Only one doc and a tech involved. Walked me thru the whole process before. Explained the equipment, everything. Very professional and friendly.As a bonus , I had pain in right knee for over a decade. I never mentioned the knee to Stemedix. In the procedure they split the cells between 2 injections in hip and the rest into blood stream. Knee has not hurt at all since.I personally know one person who died from a hip replacement surgery within the first 24 hours....so I wasn't going to have one without trying stem cell first.Their transport met me at the Airport, very nice lady who drove me and communicated daily. The International hotel was great. There is a huge mall across street with grocery and restaurants. When I first arrived, I walked over to the mall, pain was so great I could hardly cross the street. Day after treatment, I walked over with clearly improved hip and improving more with time.Happy I went. Worked for me....UPDATE 4/27/19...Its been 6 months....Range of motion continues to improve. Most days are zero discomfort. Beats chopping off hip bones any day.

I had stem cell therapy October 4th, 2017 for both COPD and RAFor the first year, there was not a lot of change. Then suddenly, I noted the changes. Could be that the changes were so slow that they went unnoticed.Today, for the COPD I use only one inhalation per day of Trielegy Ellipta, instead of 6 inhalations of Combivent Respimat a day. For the Rheumatoid Arthritis, I receive one shot a month of Cimzia, instead of one shot a week of Enbrel. Note that Medicare pays for the Cimzia, and does not pay for the Enbrel.I feel much better, and at age 80, I get around so much better, I plan to return to the work force. (at least part time)I'm very grateful of the assistance from Stemedix.Bob Murphy

My name is Dwight Messinger and I am an Air Force retiree. I retired in 1983, in 1984 I was diagnosed as a diabetic at that time I was 40 years old Now that I am 76 years of age and totally disabled due to a product called agent orange the results were that I became a type two diabetic . I also ended up with kidney failure deep vein Trumbosis and swelling in the legs high cholesterol high blood pressure just to mention a few . I needed 100% of symptoms which are unrepairable to qualify for 100% VA pension, I have the equivalent of 220% much more than I need. I researched many companies for the last six years who offers stem cell transplant and by far STEMEDIX is the best and most professional . The Stemedix Team based in Miami Florida are the coordinators who guide you medically to assist you inqualifing for the stem cell transplant prosses. My wife Trudy and myself both needed stem cell transplant. We chose to go to Costa Rica for the simple reason that Costa Rica has the most qualified doctors and medical staff presently in the world today . They have the most professional team and staff that I have ever encountered to assist you through every single phase of the transplant process. The whole team from the doctors to the driver who picks you up at the airport speak fluent English not to mention that the cost is about half of what you would pay for the same treatment here in the United States . Now the best part that I want to say is, I have been home a week and a half and I have almost no need for insulin I walk without having my legs swollen and I feel the way as I walk Without stumbling. I can’t wait for my doctor to give me my blood test to see exactly where I stand medically. The best part, as a bonus that I want to mention is the fact that I haven’t hair on my head for over 50 years, yes you guessed it I am growing hair on my head and it is about an eighth of an inch long all over. Thanks to STEMEDIX and COSTA RICA . I would never hesitate to have have any procedure done in that country. Thank you STEMEDIX

WONDERFUL!! Everything about the experience with Stemedix was outstanding! We are both nurses and I was looking for stem cell transplants and information related to memory loss-alz disease, etc. I first found a company in Chicago area and contacted them. After one call inquiring about their program and giving a brief medical history-less than 3-4 minutes, I was called the next day saying my wife was accepted! No paperwork sent, no lab work, no actual assessment only a few questions asked. I then found Stemedix and so glad I did. Our experience started with Sarah Day who was wonderful. I talked with Sarah briefly about my wife's medical history, the 11 surgeries in 9 months and some of the issues she was having. Sarah was very sincere and talked with me about the process and that they had an option in Costa Rica that was less expensive. Sarah sent me info and then called to see if I had any questions. She later called me and asked for some medical information so I faxed 66 pages of medical history, tests, scans, etc. A few days later she called and said they had reviewed her records and need some additional lab testing to see what her current medical status was. She emailed me the lab order and told me I could go to a local LabCorp lab in our city and they would fax the results to Sarah. A few days later Sarah called and told us that my wife was accepted for the stem cell transplants and asked when we wanted to schedule the procedure. I told her I would get back with her in a day or so and when I did Sarah gave me several days to see what would work best for us. I called and told them what appointment time was best for us and we got scheduled the week that was best for us. We opted to drive since my wife currently has multiple fractures-lumbar-sacral-pubic bone and right pelvis (all related to chemo and radiation therapy) followed by multiple fxs due to osteoporosis that was accelerated. The multiple surgeries were related to a post op wound infection following insertion of internal and external fixators. We arrived at the Residence Inn which was beautiful and Stemedix already had our suite reserved, etc. That evening Becky showed up to see if we had arrived and if things were ok. The next am my wife had her first HBOT treatment and Becky was there again to see if we made it to the clinic. The HBOT treatments went very well. Becky called several times to check on us. On the pre-op visit, we met both Dr. Balshi and Dr. Khan and they were wonderful with great "bedside" manner. They explained everything asking if we had any questions, etc. The day we showed up at the Stemedix clinic Becky was there to make sure we made it there and that we were doing ok. After Dr. Balshi removed the stem cells, they were taken to their lab for processing. While waiting in the waiting room, Dr. Khan had the nurse come ask if I would like to be there when he put the stem cells into my wife's spinal column. He gave me a mask and did the procedure and was very good asking if she was having pain in her back due to the many fractures she has had over the past 3-4 years. Due to the fact that we were told that my wife should not have caffeine for several days, she got a terrible headache. Dr. Khan sent Becky to Dunkin Donuts to get my wife fresh coffee! How thoughtful! Things went well and weather was beautiful in Delray Beach area in the 72-84 range while our hometown in Indiana was having winter snow and ice storms closing a few bridges in our area. We hated to leave beautiful Florida but finally had to come back. Sarah called me several days later checking on my wife and said she would be calling again in the next week or so and check on my wife. Everything was great and we have nothing but positive comments about the process and the entire team at Stemedix. I have already shared their info with a friend's of my sisters who has MS and is declining medically. If you are thinking about stem cell transplants--we recommend Stemedix and feel fortunate I found them. Bill and Sharon C-indiana

8 weeks post treatment and my knees are better than they were 2 years ago. I should have done this sooner.I had age management treatment on my knees, wrists and right shoulder. The staff in the USA and Costa Rica are the best. Everything was done in a very professional manner and every question was answered before during and after the treatment.I recommend STEMEDIX to anyone interested in stem cell therapy. Thanks for everything Kenny

After a great deal of research we found Stemedix to be our final choice as we found answers to all the questions and were handled in a professional manner. We were treated extremely well from start to finish. And now Stemedix has followed up several times to see how we are doing. This is a class A+ company, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who has a need for stem cell therapy.

Suffering from 17 bulging discs and 1 herniated disc my life was constant pain. Pity is what I saw in multiple doctors faces after seeing my x-ray and MRI results. I was only 22 when the first doctor told me if he had to guess how old the person was only based off of the x-rays and MRI’s he would guess he was looking at a 60 or 70-year-old man. He he wasn’t the first to make similar remarks. I tried chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, deep tissue massage, spinal decompression therapy, actuatic therapy, opiates, NSAIDs, cortisone injections and nothing gave me relief. My pain has gone from severe to manageable and It’s only been a few weeks since my injections and IV, so I am excited to see the improvements yet to come. I had the umbilical cord stemcell treatment with platelet rich plasma injected into my spine and dr. Farrell and her team were absolutely amazing!!!! They talked me through the entire process and made the environment very comfortable to be in. The stemedix team made the entire process from the initial contact to post procedure check up a breeze. Really great communication with their staff and they really seem to care for your well being. I’m really glad I found stemedix and can’t thank them enough for the hope they’ve brought back into my life.

My husband was treated for stroke recovery at the Costa Rica location. The entire team was great. We are waiting with great anticipation and fully expect to see some major Gaines from the stem cell procedure.Update: .We are now past the 6 weeks mark and are seeing some breakthrough! Sean is now starting to walk during therapy without his cane. He has more endurance and balance. He also claims to be able to feel more on his left side. It's very exciting!!!

My husband has been suffering from Parkinson's Disease for 10 years. After falling & breaking his neck 11 months ago the symptoms excellerated rapidly. He started Stemedix treatment process 10-22-18 & completed 10-25-18. This is our 3rd day home & tremors have started reducing, violent tremors @ night have stopped the last 2 nights giving him 9 hrs. of sleep each night. Which he hasn't had for 11 months. We are very thankful for any sign of improvement. Especially, excellent care given to us while he was going through from preparation to go to FL from CA, time we were there in treatment to the trip back to the airport. Stemedix, DelRey Beach, FL is an answer to prayer. Thank you Stemedix, Joel Dean Moore

June 28, 2018On June 20, 2018, I had Stem Cell Transplant/Therapy.There is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis but this SCT has been known to reduce, if not eliminate the symptoms.Because I had a progression of symptoms in the last 7 months, I was on the hunt for something, anything, other than another drug, that I could afford.There are a few, privately owned clinics in the US, Mexico, Costa Rica and Russia, that are doing something different. Stemedix is one of the first clinics to open in the US. They specialize in stem cell treatment and research for degenerative conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, COPD, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Stroke victims, and Lyme Disease. They take the persons own Stem Cells from adipose (usually abdominal fat). Centrifuge it down, mix the stem cells with your own plasma, and then put those babies back into your body. In my case, they put them back into my body intravenously and intrathecal (into the spinal cord).Because this type of Stem Cell treatment is not FDA approved and there are no clinical trials or data, one has to REALLY go out and do their own research. My entire neurological team was very much against this. And in their defense, they are scientists who follow the studies and clinical trials. And just like everything good in this world, there are bad. There have been clinics that blinded people, taken people’s money (a lot of money!) and there were no positive results. Even my friends who are physicians said, “It’s a scam Joni”, don’t do it! I was very alone unsure of the decision to do this. What if they are right and I'm wrong? What if I spend all this money for nothing? But what if I don't, and my progression of symptoms continue to worsen?My choice to use Stemedix was the best decision I ever have made. Geoff, my MS Buddy had SCT 15 months ago. Geoff was always clear and concise, that he hade made the right choice to use Stemedix for this SCT treatment. He consistently answered my unending questions. When I finally made my decision to do it, he said he was looking forward to welcoming me to 'Team Normal.'It's only been 8 days since my SCT. Within 24 hours, I felt like a fog had been lifted from my brain. Within 48 hours, I walked just over a mile with my husband, which I hadn't been able to do in years. Within 3 days, my heat sensitivity diminished by at least 50%. The last 6 months, I consistently wake up with spastic legs & cramps, at least 3 to 4 times a night. For the last 7 nights in a row now, I have slept all night without waking up once. I’ll never take a good night sleep for granted again.Stemedix tells you that you won't see the full benefits of the SCT for approximately 4-6 months. I added Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into my treatment. Stemedix recommends the HBOT treatments. This is a ‘dive’ in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for 60 minutes at 2 atmospheres. I had 3 dives before the SCT and 2 the day after. I believe the HBOT makes a huge difference in decreasing the inflammation and helping your body to heal itself. I am seeing improvements much quicker than I could have hoped for, and I believe it’s due to the added HBOT treatments. My hopes are that the SCT will also help with by left eye vision, depth perception, balance and gait. How long will this miracle healing last? Time will tell because we just don't know yet. Would I recommend Stemedix? ABSOLUTELY!For the first time in several years, I am not just hopeful about my future; I'm excited about my future!As I’ve told my Neurologist team:“I don’t want to live forever, I just want to LIVE WHILE I’M ALIVE!"GO TEAM NORMAL!"Joni Zwick

I was diagnosed with MS back in 2002. Since then I had been slowly declining & had gone through so many medications for this disease to help slow it down but I did not have the good luck that others have had in controlling it. I needed to try something new that I had heard good things about. I was able to cross paths with another fellow that also had MS that had gone to Stemedix & had good results. I went forward with it & I cannot say anything negative about this whole stem cell experience at Stemedix. I recently got treatment from there. The entire staff was caring , knowledgeable & professional. Dr Khan was great, as were Jackie, Bonnie & Fred. The next day after treatment I already noticed a difference for the better. I would definitely recommended Stemedix to anyone considering a stem cell treatment.

I had stem cell done in 2016 for Multiple Sclerosis at Stemedix. I had recently spent a few months at the Shepherd Center and was in and out of a wheelchair prior to coming to see Dr. Brown. Most days I could not walk, I needed help to do basic functions and was on a huge bag full of pills to try and manage my symptoms. Stem Cell was a game changer for me! It is now 2018 and I have not had a relapse in 2 years (prior to stem cell I was averaging 3-4 relapses a month), my seizures are way down (I've had one in 6 months versus having 2 a day prior to stem cell). My wheelchair is in the basement gathering dust!! I feel and operate like a brand new person. And because of the benefits of stem cells, I am now off of three meds I used to need every day and two other meds I was able to cut the dosage in half. Not only have I regained my life and functionality back, I don't need near as much medicine to help keep my MS stable. All of the staff we interacted with were top professionals, the kindest and most knowledgeable people and helped walk us through the process with ease. I cannot give Dr. Brown and her staff enough praise for the work they are doing and how they treat their patients. I recommend stem cell to everyone I know. This is the future of MS therapy! I would do it again in a heartbeat, and hope to be able to do another stem cell round soon.

Stemedix is a great company. I was very fortunate to find them during my research about treating my Multiple Sclerosis with stem cells. The doctors are outstanding and very knowledgeable about the diseases and treatments. The patient coordinators are available to you every step of the way. Stemedix arranges everything to make sure the patient is able to focus solely on their treatment and they follow up with the patient following the procedure.

I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone with Stemedix is kind and caring and takes the time to answer all of your questions no matter how long that may take and never make you feel as though you are being rushed or keeping them from doing something else or possibly running behind schedule.I could barely speak prior to my treatment as 1 of the many complications from MS. Within 24 hours of my treatment there had been a 90% improvement in my speech. It is a true miracle. I thank everyone at Stemedix for their kindness and compassion. They truly want to help people. Dr. Kahn in my opinion is the best he did more for me in 24 hours than western medicine did in 15, I actually declined on western meds. Thank you Stemedix for saving my life....

I was diagnosed with MS in 2009. My health spiralled from being a very active 5 day a week gym girl who hiked and jogged nature trails to not being able to walk by 2012. The nerve pain and spasticity was unbearable at times. Once independent, I became a hermit. My body rejected the MS medications and I began to research possibilities for treatment. I decided on stem cells because nothing foreign was being introduced into the body. No surgery or chemo was being used. The biggest gamble was $ if the treatment did not produce desired results. Taking no action could cost me my life. It was pretty much a no brainer for me.I had to make the important decision of which clinic I would go to for treatment. I contacted a Pacific based company and was instantly turned off by the ‘call centre’ environment and conversation background noise. I was straining to hear what was being said and frustrated having to repeat my emotional story due to a chaotic audience. Then I contacted Stemedix and received a call back from their client Care Coordinator Sarah. First I noted there was no background noise and that the conversation was private. She focused on what I was saying and asked her own questions. When I inquired about any information, Sarah was prompt in her response by phone or email.Due to my problem with mobility it was a relief to have help attaining the required medical record needed. The Care Coordinator was able to act on my behalf with a signed consent form. The communication flowed at an effective pace and soon my treatment was scheduled.Stemedix arranged for my accommodations and travel to and from the hotel, clinic and airport. The clinic staff and doctors were very professional and friendly which offers comfort during a trying time. The treatment itself was made easier due to the care and consideration given by attending doctors and staff. There was no down time or recovery period needed so all in all it was an awesome experience. I am in the repair healing stage following my stem cell treatment and the Care Coordinator keeps in contact on a regular basis. I would definitely recommend Stemedix to anyone considering stem cell therapy. Just make the call and I am certain you will receive the communication and comfort you need when having to make such an important decision. God bless!

I have been dealing with chronic Lyme disease since 1998. I tried all kinds of treatments from antibiotics, I.V. and naturopath etc... My wonderful Dr talked to me about stem cells treatment when I started to look it to it I couldn't afford it so my 2 beautiful daughters started a go fund me page by the grace of God we were able to raise all the funds . I Thank all my family and friends for their generosity and support with out them I wouldn't be able to do it.A huge Thank you to my coordinator Jackie and office staff that there were there to answer all my questions and concern about the procedure.Treating physicians and all his staff were great they all put my husband and I at ease by explaining in words that we could understand. I made a lots of research about stem cells in different states and country.After all I decided to do Stemedix because there were very honest and no pressure at all . So if you ever decide you need the stem cells I would recommend Stemedix.Thank you so much to all that was part of my journey.God bless you.Carole.

The staff and doctor was helpful and really considerate with my two idiot friends and I. My only issue is with the final results didn't really work for me personally. I have spoken with other clients that have had the same treatment as I did and it worked great for them. I fully believe that my problem is just with my body, not complying with the treatment. The staff is still in constant contact and are genuinely concerned with the treatment not working for me. I appreciate everything that they have done for me and I more than likely will be back for a different stem cell treatment that might work for my condition.

Regenerative Medicine, also known as stem cell therapy for ALS – Learn how this alternative option has the potential to help manage the symptoms of ALS.
With Regenerative Medicine, your rebuilding process can potentially begin.
Although stem cell therapy for ALS therapy is not a cure, some symptom improvements have been observed:
Decreased progression

Improvement in motor skills
Increases in energy and vigor
Enhanced mood
ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a muscle condition within the muscular dystrophy spectrum. Commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, this condition primarily attacks the brain and nerve cells which control both voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. Oftentimes, symptoms of the condition don’t appear until the patient is 50 years or older. These may include:
- Muscle cramps
- Weakness
- Spasticity (stiffness or tightness of muscles)
- Fatigue
As the disease progresses, difficulty speaking and swallowing, weight loss, and troubled breathing may ensue.
Today’s Treatments
While there is currently no cure for ALS, today’s treatments include medications used to control symptoms and slow disease progression. One ALS medication is used to reduce the levels of the chemical messenger in the brain, glutamate, which is typically higher in individuals with ALS.

For chronic disorders like ALS, medical experts are working diligently to find new solutions to improve patients’ chances of long-term health. Regenerative medicine therapy is one option that is emerging as a studied alternative or addition to traditional treatments. In particular, stem cell therapy for ALS, which employs the use of adipose (fat) or umbilical cord-derived stem cells, holds the potential for increasing quality of life in conditions for which there is no cure.
The use of stem cells represents a breakthrough in regenerative medicine which can be used to help the body’s natural repair kit work more effectively. These powerful cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of tissues. Thus, when they are inserted into the bloodstream, they can encourage the regeneration of nerve and brain pathways which become compromised in ALS and similar conditions. Stem cell therapy for ALS has been studied as safe and generally well-tolerated.
Although not a cure, studies on stem cell therapy for ALS have shown results such as decreased disease progression, nerve damage repair, improvement in motor skills, and increases in energy and vigor. This therapy has been considered for those seeking alternatives to help manage the symptoms of their chronic or progressive conditions.
Regenerative Medicine is still considered an experimental procedure and not approved by the FDA. Patients must consider realistic expectations in their research and possible therapy options.
