  ⚠️ Stem Cell Consultancy Without Credentials? The Dangerous Rise of Unqualified Medical Advisors By Steven Millard - Investigative Journalist In the growing — and often confusing — world of regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy has emerged as one of the most heavily promoted yet least understood treatments on the market.
