Physicians running Adult Stem Cell (also called Repair Stem Cell) treatment centers and/or treating patients must be licensed, certified and in good-standing with their country’s medical professional regulatory board.
Physicians running stem cell treatment centers and/or treating patients must have at least six months experience treating human patients with Adult Stem Cells also known as Repair Stem Cells (RSC) or experience as a treating physician (in good-standing) at an RSCI approved treatment center.
RSC used for treatments must be either Autologous (a situation in which the donor and recipient are the same person) or from Umbilical Cords. Non-autologous and non-umbilical cord stem cell treatments must be labeled “Experimental” until a successful clinical trial is completed by the Treatment Center.
Similarly, treatments using intravenous implant of RSC rather than disease specific implants must be labeled “Experimental” until a successful clinical trial is completed by the Treatment Center using the intravenous implant of cells for the specific disease being treated.
Treatment Center and all treating physicians must have never received a negative finding resulting from a regulatory inquiry or governmental action directly relating to issues of patient relations or fraud in the marketplace.
The stem cell supplying laboratory for the Treatment Center must meet the minimum recognized cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Procedure) standards.
Physicians running treatment centers and/or treating patients must meet at least 3 (three) of the following criteria:
Prior successful RSC clinical trial (prospective or retrospective)
Published peer reviewed RSC paper
Grant for RSC research from a governmental unit and/or a nationally recognized charity/disease advocacy organization
Presented RSC paper to recognized symposiums/congresses
At least two Honoraria or Doctorates from recognized academic institutions
RSC producing laboratories providing RSCs for the Treatment Center must have a history of over 100 successful RSC human implants. ("Successful" is defined as having clearly improved the patient's quality of life.)
Finally, Physicians shall keep this credo above all:
First do no harm; and partner with our patients, to the best of our ability, to help them lead healthy lives.
