Researchers Warn Americans to be Wary of “Stem Cell Tourism”
Stem cells hold a lot of promise when it comes to healing the body, but too many people, believing stem cell research to be the holy grail of medical science, are willing to try untested procedures in an effort to treat what ails them.
That’s why Ohio State University scientists are calling on doctors to educate their patients about scientifically unproven stem cell treatments. They say a growing number of patients with incurable diseases are traveling the world looking for a solution, but what they find could wind up making them sicker. [1]
