I took my wife to Stemedix late last year. Their facility was excellent and the people there were top notch. Since the treatment my wife has experienced huge improvements. Now she is able to walk occasionally without her walker. Also, her overall mood and energy has gotten a lot better. Keep in mind that there are many steps to improvement with Stemedix treatment and it doesn't happen overnight.

Stemedix has video testimonial of Parkinson's patient’s months after treatment showing their improvements. Sorry, theres no scandal here. They are very much a real company and they do the treatments just like any other medical center. The facility I went to was in a very large hospital. At no point was I uncomfortable with the process. In fact, it was completely the opposite. They literally took care of everything.

I am very glad I made the decision to go to Stemedix and get the treatment done. My life as well as my wifes have improved greatly since. I suppose it may not work for everyone, but it certainly is working for us. I would recommend the experience to anyone and I am fully expecting us to go back for future treatments.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - My understanding is that blogger blog "Investigation on Stemedix" is completely bogus and was written by their competitor Stemgenex. Pretty interesting how there is no author information and there hasn't been a post since they uploaded all of their content. It’s pretty obvious what it’s there for. I really wouldn't go around citing it as a source of credible information.

If people have questions about them just ask them. They were really friendly with me and spent literally hours on the phone answering all of my questions.

Wishing you all the best of luck.

We are here in Scottsdale now and so far our experience and expectations have been met. My ex is having therapy on Friday. We have hope, something we didn't have. And we believe this will help, certainly won't make her condition worse.

If she get NO benefit just having hope is very powerful. I'm a massive skeptic at heart, for this, I'm trusting.

In checking Internet - STEMEDIX for problems.... http://investigationonstemedix.blogspot.com/201...

What Stemedix really provides:

Tuesday, October 27, 2015 Tricky Treatment: Autologous Adipose Stem Cell Therapy Treatment:

One of the most vital points of investigation is analyzing the treatment that Stemedix offers. If the procedure does not seem legitimate, then you should at the very least be wary of wasting your money and misplacing your trust. Stemedix offers autologous adipose stem cell therapy:

On closer inspection of Stemedix's offers, in a certain way Stemedix doesn't even provide the treatment. According to testimonials (as also discussed earlier), Stemedix is a consultant company:

Their modus operandi is organization of every step of the treatment to provide a comfortable and smooth experience: they deal with preliminary medical tests, transportation, lodging, in addition to arranging the actual treatment. You can receive the same treatment without working with (and paying) them.

Some of the benefits Stemedix mentions (shown below) from their facility are private rooms, double activation (using both PRP and lasers on the stem cells), antibody filtration protocol, cleanliness, and high standards. Many of these are expected in healthcare for the U.S., so explicitly stating them seems as a strategy for higher consideration.

These points increasingly raise doubt about the company.

Here is an article about their Marketing ploys....

Here is another interesting article http://www.eurostemcell.org/factsheet/mesenchym...

What can mesenchymal stem cells do?

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an example of tissue or 'adult' stem cells. They are ‘multipotent’, meaning they can produce more than one type of specialized cell of the body, but not all types. MSCs make the different specialized cells found in the skeletal tissues. For example, they can differentiate − or specialize − into cartilage cells (chondrocytes), bone cells (osteoblasts) and fat cells (adipocytes). These specialized cells each have their own characteristic shapes, structures and functions, and each belongs in a particular tissue.

Some early research suggested that MSCs might also differentiate into many different types of cells that do not belong to the skeletal tissues, such as nerve cells, heart muscle cells, liver cells and endothelial cells, which form the inner layer of blood vessels. These results were not confirmed in later studies. In some cases, it appears that the MSCs might have fused together with existing specialized cells, leading to false conclusions about the ability of MSCs to produce certain cell types. In other cases, the results were an artificial effect caused by chemicals used to grow the cells in the lab.
