Experts caution against stem cell treatments abroad

Peyton, an Indianapolis Colts quarterback, has had three stem cell treatments for his neck injury. As the treatment is not approved in the US, he had to go to Europe for it. 


Like Peyton, a lot of people in the world seek for stem cell experimental treatment to fight their diseases. The stem cell clinics can cure orthopedic injury, heart diseases, neurological conditions, autism.. and so on. 

However, experts warn patients who got or plan to get experimental treatments because they cannot get follow-ups and there's no regulation on quality. There could be many more problems cause by getting experiment treatments but one thing is sure; experiment treatments are not regulated. 


-> So, this is a brief summary of the whole article :) We had a debate about stem cells on Wednesday, and this article gives us an idea about experimental treatments which we didn't cover. So it would be fun to check on it, too!
