Question asked of Dr. Ghen:


There is a stem cell clinic that is mixing stem cell treatments with ozone therapy. What do you think of this? There are also some clinics that offer nutritional IV's. Is this just another gimmick or does any of this help the stem cell treatment?



There is no question that the nutritional state of an individual has a lot to do with the success of a stem cell transplant.Just imagine putting a stem cell on the table and walking away for 2 weeks. Of course, you would not expect it to grow without some sort of medium or growth broth. However, the use of Ozone a free radical may not afford any advantage mixing the ozone with the transplant. In fact, it could possibly inhibit the engraftment of the cells. Ask for studies about their process and carefully review their literature. We can revisit this when you have their philosophy of why it will help and the literature support in our hand.

Health, Happiness and Hugs,

I go once a week for the IV treatment and I think it has probably saved my life the diet almost killed me lost a great amount of weight am down to 105 and struggling to keep it at that if not for th IV I don't know what would have happened thankfully I have a Dr who knows I had stem cell treatment and is doing all he can to help me achieve the goals I have set I met him in Ca while doing treatment and I think it was the luckiest thing that happened not everyone absorbs the enormous amount of vitamins and supplements that was advised to be taken I tried to do everything I could to ensure the cells would survive and didn't realize what it was doing to my body I think each person needs to be dealt with individually I am so thankful I have my Dr S there is no set treatment for everybody

Bev - This is an excellent post. I couldn't agree with you more. Some supplements can cause medications not to work and vice versa. When a company such as SCB uses a blanket approach for everyone with their diet and supplement program, serious problems can occur in my opinion. One patient that went there was tube fed and his wife was actually cutting and smashing up the recommended supplements and one got stuck in his feeding tube and he had to be taken to the hospital. When we were asked to administer the program, we wanted patients to fill out individual questionnaires that would give us the information about medications they were taking and also what disease they suffered from. We never got the questionnaires and Jeannine luckily immediately noticed that a couple of patients had diseases which probably indicated that they were tube fed. Sure enough, upon inquiring they were and we sent liquid supplements to these people. The diet is also not something to be taken lightly especially if you have allergies or in one case someone needed to reduce potassium intake and instead the diet was rather high in it. These problems are sufficient enough for a person to consult with their own nutritional doctor or therapist and find out if the post stem cell protocols and diets are going to be something that your body will be compatible with. In your case, Bev, you were very lucky because things weren't working for you and now you have found answers. We are all in a learning process with stem cells and we rely on companies and doctors to guide us, but evidently they just do not want to take the time to treat us as individuals. No one knows a person better than they know themselves, so it is up to each of us to make sure we are doing the right thing. For the large sums of money we have paid, one would expect better care, but it is not to be and we must be the responsible party.
