THE HOPE MERCHANTS Inside the booming stem-cell “miracle” industry — and the patients left paying the price It always starts the same way. A bad knee that never heals. A parent frightened for their child. A tremor that could become something worse. A diagnosis that steals your future one appointment at a time. Somewhere between fear and fatigue, a new promise appears:  regenerative medicine .  Stem cells .  Exosomes .  Secretomes . Words that sound like the frontier of science — and are often used like a sales script. In the legitimate world, cell therapies take years of trials, mountains of data, and strict regulatory approvals.
