Why did clinic supplier Liveyon halt sales but others kept going despite FDA?

December 16, 2019 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

Umbilical “stem cell” supplier Liveyon has suspended sales of its products according to the WaPo after a harsh FDA warning letter. While not fully shutting off the tap to the perinatal stem cell clinic universe, as other suppliers including in Utah seem to be continuing, this Liveyon voluntary hold will equal a major reduction in […]

October 20, 2019 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D.

As of October 1, Google was supposed to have banned ads for unproven stem cell clinics and products. This was according to their own new policy. How’s that going? How’s this new Google approach to unproven stem cell marketing working out in the real wild world of the web? To test it, I did over

Chiropractors and their state boards should stop risky stem cell injections

November 13, 2018 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 17 Comments
