Crippled With Arthritis With Constant Pain. Interested In Dr. Bill Stanish S Cartilage Reconstruction With Own Stem Cells. Help

I read where Dr. Bill Stanish is conducting a trial for reconstructing cartiledge (???) by taking one's own stem cells and I am very interested if he is looking for volunteer patients. I am a 60 year old woman who is crippled from arthritis and am very interested in the procedure other than knee replacements. Please let me know how I can contact Dr. Stanish regarding this subject! Sincerest Thanks, Always in Pain.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Reconstruction of the cartilage using the stem cells is a promising option but a costly affair. You need to weigh all the benefits and risks before giving consent for any such procedure.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
