Here is just a small sampling of resources I visited when I started my journey to learn more. These are some great websites to start your own research and learning.

This is where I started on my journey to Costa Rica for stem cell treatment.
Cell Medicine advocates the use of autologous stem cells as they have no ethical or moral issues and pose no possibility for rejection since they come from the patient. According to various studies, stem cells isolated from a patient (i.e. from the bone marrow or fat) have the ability to become different cell types (i.e. nerve cells, liver cells, heart cells, and cartilage cells). Studies have also shown that these are capable of "homing in" on and repairing damaged tissue. Cell Medicine only advocates the use of stem cells derived from the non-controversial sources: bone marrow, muscle, skin, fat and blood.
