Stemedix Review: Mark. K (West Bend, WI)

I was diagnosed with ALS in October 2014 (Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN) however my symptoms started in June 2011 when I was 56 years old. I turned 65 on July 5. My initial symptoms included falling, difficulty walking, loss of balance, spasticity in my right leg, and foot drop. Initially, I was able to walk without any assistive device but then needed a cane and 2 years later a walker. I started taking Riluzole in December 2014 and in November 2017 Radicava. These are the only 2 approved FDA medications for ALS. In addition to the ALS meds I also had a total of 5 stem cell treatments (1 annually in each of the last 5 years). 

Every day I do stretching exercises to maintain mobility. I also do daily breathing exercises to maintain respiratory muscle strength. I am still breathing on my own, swallowing, talking (however, my voice is hoarse & raspy) and walking with the assistance of a walker. I enjoy biking and although I no longer can ride a road bike I purchased a 3 wheel recumbent bike 5 years ago that I use 3-4 times a week riding 9-11 miles round trip. I feel very blessed that I can still do as much as I am, given that this is my 9’th year since symptom onset. I can still play the trumpet for 30 minutes every other day and taught myself how to play the piano last year. 

The people at Stemedix that I have dealt with include Sarah, Dr. Khan, Dr. Daly, Becky & Fred. They have all been very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. I appreciate their cooperation and assistance these past 3 years and look forward to partnering with them in the years ahead.

My condition is stable. I feel the stem cell treatments complement everything else that I do. I take several supplements every day. The combination of daily physical therapy, ALS meds, stem cell treatments, hyperbaric oxygen treatments, daily supplements and prayers to the Lord for strength help me to continue fighting this devastating disease. I truly believe that all of the aforementioned are helping to slow the progression of the disease.

Stemedix Review: A. Cusimano (Orlando, FL)

My stem cell procedure was performed in April 2023 at the St. Petersburg office by Dr. Mastaw, a former Naval orthopedic surgeon.  As a medical doctor myself I knew what I wanted but having never tried stem cells for my Stage IV hip arthritis I didn’t know what to expect. Two Orthopedists I had previously seen said, “total hip replacement was the only solution.” This was unacceptable so I sought alternative medicine and looked into stem cells. Becky Palmer and the medical staff at the St. Petersburg facility exceeded all professional standards, by studying my MRI’s,  scheduling the procedure, and then performing the hip stem cell placement in about a 45 minute procedure where I was awake and aware the entire time. The results? Spectacular in a one word review. Within several days the excruciating pain has lessened. At first, I thought it may be just the results of the anesthetic used. But after a weeks time the pain had decreased to such an extent that the stem cells must have been the

I am a 74 year old man.  I have always been active, 30 years in military and in retirement,  My wife and I played 400 golf course across USA.  When I was unable to walk any more (Agent Orange and other military problems.)  We had to give up golf and driving our RV, a lot to lose at one time. After Stem Cell completed I am walking, golfing and driving again.  Jackie was my coordinator helped in every step of the process my wife said  she feels like family. My physician is the most professional M.D. I have ever met.

Stemedix Review: Becky C. (Moore, OK)

"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
