constanceclum made a great observation! There are many "medical" scams out there just waiting to take $$$ from desperate COPD patients. Stem Cell Treatment falls in that category.
Here is a physician's perspective on available treatments for COPD as of now:
COPD: Management of Acute Exacerbations and Chronic Stable Disease - American Family Physician
Please don't give away your money without first consulting a licensed medical physician or specialist. If you have any doubts check licenses and get a second opinion.
We're smart! We're informed! We know the difference!
Thanks for that Thomas. The lung Institute is frequently on fb advertising this and I was wondering if there was any validity to it being helpful.

Thanks, Thomas. Sometimes we are all so desperate to get help that we will try just about anything.
This is so true, especially as we get sicker

What a shame to prey on people who are so desperate for relief. Makes me sick.
I have heard that there has been some success using a person's OWN stem cells to regenerate organs, etc but it is stem cells from the place they are trying to improve or repair. I don't know how accurate that information is, it came from a science geek I know who does a great deal of research and claims that using a person's OWN stem cells takes away the issue people have with using embryonic stem cells.
