Physicians running Repair Stem Cell (also called Adult Stem Cell) treatment centers and/or treating patients in any country must be licensed, certified and in good-standing with that country’s medical professional regulatory board.
Physicians running stem cell treatment centers and/or treating patients must have at least one year’s experience treating human patients with 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 patient serves as the donor of the stem cells); and “Cord Blood” stem cells derived from the umbilical cords of newborn babies. Also included along with Umbilical Cord stem cells are placenta stem cells (afterbirth of healthy newborns). However, certain diseases (Cancer, Leukemia, Sickle Cell Anemia and others) are also well served by “Allogenic” transplants from other donors, whether stem cells or plain cells, and such cells are not excluded. RSCI will not recommend any center using fetal or embryonic stem cells to treat any disease.
The 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 4 (four) of the following criteria:
-
Participated in a prior successful RSC clinical trial (prospective or retrospective)
-
Wrote or co-wrote a published peer-reviewed RSC paper
-
Received a grant for RSC research from a governmental unit and/or a nationally recognized charity/disease advocacy organization
-
Presented an RSC paper to recognized symposiums/congresses
-
Honoraria or Doctorates from at least two 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.
