Homeopathy Stem Cell Therapy?!


Question: Homeopathy Stem Cell Therapy.?
My Dad has been taking stem cell therapy threw Homeopathy. My Dad has been dealing with Diabetes for many years. He suffers from painful foot and leg pains that hurt so much he some times cant walk. He has been taking a regiment Homeopathy of 10 drops of stem cells every day for 7 days then stop for 7 days and starts again. He claims that this is helping him and that he is feeling a lot better. My question would be is this really working to treat him or is he thinking he is getting better and actually is not. I am very serious when I ask this because I would like to know if this treatment is Quackery or actual Medicine. Thank youHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
This does raise some interesting questions.
If he is getting better purely down to the placebo effect it is interesting that homeopathy bought this out of him.
It should be possible to test if his neuropathy is improving or not objectively.
If it is improving in the abscence of Gabapentin thats all well and good and he can continue down this track. If Gabapentin is part of the picture he should keep taking this also.
He should keep his condition carefully monitored though and be open to using conventional medicine if his conditon doesn't improve or deteriorates.

The core cause of virtually all problems in diabetics is the blood supply to tissues and organs diminishes because the blood vessel wall become coked, less elastic and more rigid from a combination of high glucose levels being destructive to the blood vessels and accelerating the Arteriosclorosing process. Good diet and lifestyle choices are also very effective in slowing this down in type 2 diabetics.

What I do find amusing is that although you are reporting an improvement from the homeopathic remedy people are still crying "foul" and accusing the practitioner of being a charlatan. Surely this would be justified if there was no improvement or he got worse.?

What i would say though is it is wrong to put all your trust in one place. A practitioner from any field may be good and sincere but will not be a panacea.Health Question & Answer

My mother in-law lived to be 97 and the only medication she ever used were homeopathic remedies. She swore by them and they certainly worked for her.
I have never heard about stem cell homeopathy. I would question it too as we know that stem cell research has been so limited even for traditional medicine. Why not ask your Dad's homeopathic doctor for some literature about the research done to develop this remedy.? Of course, we do know that many people have positive results even when given a placebo. I guess it is possible that is why he feels better. All the best to you and your Dad.Health Question & Answer

homoeopathy is a wonderful and effective system for treatment of many diseases. but diabetes has no complete cure as on date in any system. but type 2 diabetes can be kept under control and can keep the bad effects of diabetes on other organs like kidneys, heart etc.
but there is no treatment like stem cell therapy in homeopathy.
be aware of such false statements of stem cell therapy etc. who are cheating people and thus creating bad name to the wonderful system homoeopathy.Health Question & Answer

If he has diabetes , his leg pain could be related to that, I would see a regular doctor ASAP to make sure, if left untreated, or carefully watched could lead to leg amputation..Health Question & Answer

Your dad is being conned by a quack.

At present, there are no stem cell treatments for any condition, other than in studies conducted through universities. Access to stem cells is highly restricted, and are only available to a limited number of researchers in academic institutions. Stem cell research has been suppressed by the Bush administration, and while it holds hope for the future, there are NO actual treatments available at present for ANY condition.

Secondly...by definition...homeopaths dilute something to the point where there is no active ingredient. So, even if this homeopath somehow actually had access to stem cells (extremely unlikely) the homeopathic process would dilute them down so much that all your dad is getting is water.

I hope your dad hasn't abandonded conventional treatment while he sees this charlatan. This is a dangerous scam, your dad is being ripped off and his health is being endangered.

Your dad claims "it is helping him". In what way.? Are his sugars better controlled.? Has his A1C level improved.? Has he also improved his diet and exercise and looked after himself better while engaging in this new plan.? Or, is he just imagining he feels better.? What objective evidence is your dad is getting better.?

EDIT Plant stem cells.?.?.?.? PLANT STEM CELLS.? Are you kidding me.? That is even more bogus. What a crock of dung. This guy isn't even a subtle conman, this is a blatant scam.Health Question & Answer
