    Posted in: General Info |Posted on: 21-Feb-2018 | No. of views: 2118

    Currently, I am at the 2018 Interventional Orthopedic Foundation meeting which is a multidisciplinary collection of clinicians interested in advanced the field of interventional orthopedics and in the science and application of orthobiologics. One of my faculty assignments was to discuss the many reasons why centrifuging and concentrating bone marrow aspirate makes good clinical sense when compared to just using bone marrow aspirate alone as a treatment.

  • Please avoid the Chiropractor based stem cell scams….yet another example below

    Posted in: General Info |Posted on: 20-Feb-2018 | No. of views: 2429

    Another example of the scam stem cell clinics in action. In this case, a chiropractor James Briggs presented himself as “Dr. Briggs” and charged this poor woman $5000 for a scam injection that was not even a real stem cell injection. This DC had already lost his license in one state and it was suspended in another state AND he had been arrested for Medicare fraud. Please do your homework….come see us for an honest eval and procedures that don’t violate current FDA rules and regulations.

  • Another Example of Adipose Tissue Tissue Used In Violation Of FDA Regulations

    Posted in: Legal Issues With Regenerative Medicine (USA) |Posted on: 13-Feb-2018 | No. of views: 1912

    Dr. Joel Singer is a plastic surgeon affiliated with the Cell Surgical Network, who has publicly announced he has treated NFL player(s) with IV adipose tissue for concussions or other neurologic disorders. According to the FDA guidelines, adipose tissue digested to make SVF or made into smaller adipose tissue pieces broken down by mechanical disruption is a biologic drug. Biologic drugs need to be registered and go thru a well defined and expensive and time consuming FDA process BEFORE being approved for human use. Dr. Singer doesn’t have an Investigational Drug License or a BLA on file with the FDA so apparently, according to the FDA…he is using and promoting an unapproved biologic drug.

    What is a scam? When and where can we use orthobiologics? Why doesn’t it make sense to use adipose or umbilical cord blood or amniotic fluid as a source for stem cells? How much does it cost? What insurance companies cover the procedure? Would this work for me? What is the difference between PRP and a stem cell injection? Does the FDA approve these procedures? Will a doctor do the injection? Will the doctor doing the injection use ultrasound?

    I tell all patients that the easiest thing to remember is that for an orthopedic stem cell procedure to be legal, verifiable, and to have published human clinical outcomes for the condition being treated…..the stem cells HAVE to come from their own bone marrow.
