Hey Guy's, hold on here. Let's not be so desperate to get a hard dick that we stumble blindly into a dark alley without checking it throughly before we go.

I just took (2) minutes and browsed around the NET with Google.

Here is (1) link I found. Go read for yourself and please reconsider this latest greatest miracle of modern medicine with ours eyes wide open.

I think one needs to spend more then (2) minutes on something this serious.

Feedback is always welcome.

3mtrship is right.

Stem cell therapy for ED shows great promise but it's still in its infancy. These clinics are not to be trusted.

Guys...

Stem cell therapy for any malady, is the application of undifferentiated cells which have the potential to replace failing, failed, or removed organs or tissues. What is it you want to replace in your ED? They are not going to grow a new prostate, and if they did, it's the nerve complex that runs across the prostate -- removed with that organ -- that's the real cause of your dysfunction, not the removal of the prostate itself.

In the current state of the science, stem cells simply have no application in the restoration of erectile function. And because stem cells can regenerate in unexpected fashions, the demon of unintended consequences will rear her ugly head in the worst possible way. Don't do it.

i dont mean to sound like i support stem cell clinics 100%. but, we shouldnt deny stem cell facilities the right to offer stem cell therapy. there are a few stem cell clinics reputable doctors that actually do offer stem cell treatments. and these same doctors have cured people of their blindness, diabetes type 1, hearing loss, etc.

also robinwriter, you said that stem cells have no appliction in the restoration of erectile function. youre actually wrong. therea one guy that i read about online who had stem cells treatment done and he was able to regain erectile function. i cant find the webpage, but i'll try my best to post the link here. also, a urologist by the name of doctor tom lue jad reported that impotent rats given stem cells regined full function of their erections. heres the link:

heres a direct quote:
"A study showed injection of umbilical cord blood stem cells into men having failed PDE5 inhibitors resulted in improved erectile function."

Has anyone tried stem cell for ed and worked? I am thinking of going to this
stem cell clininc in beverly hills and just try it. I am fed up with urologists and doctors, I have been to
5 different urologists and doctors, all I know now is that is not causing the ed. They always rush you and
they dont really help. Only 1 did, the really old guy but still no solution.

Its either stem cells or hgh at this point.

To John and everyone:

The idea of stem cell assistance for what ails us is a brave new world. If tried, you are going to where few, if any men, have gone before. John, Please have the appointment- gathering information is a good thing and then you can consult and decide. Although I'm not medical, I know of no formal research on this approach. I really like Robin's contributions to this site but must gently disagree with his thoughts. Stem cell therapy is not to regrow a prostate and I would agree that would not be a wise choice with the limited knowledge we have on the topic. This stem cell approach would be to the erection issue and a failure to communicate down there; especially for those of us how did not have a problem before PCa surgery. We do know that nerve sparing, while nice, means little to recovery of erectile function or penile rehab.

Mostly, this is a nerve, connection issue. Limited work in Neuro on nerve grafting has not been helpful. Some assistance for a very few but not promising at this point. Stem cell would be an interesting approach but the issue is where do you put the "new" cells and what should they be?

John, if you have the appointment-please share! And to Kuloix- Thanks much for making us think about this. If we can get the Foundation up and going perhaps we can encourage such research as this. That would be a good thing.

Regards,

Dick
