Does anyone have any information regarding stem cell therapy for the lungs?
My husband and I are considering stem cell therapy we both have COPD. If anyone has any information regarding this please come back and speak on it thank you.

  1. Hi Debbie,

    Thanks so much for your question, and I'm so glad you are reaching out on behalf of you and your husband. While you may get more feedback from community members on personal experience, I thought this article might be of interest to you and your husband, too: https://copd.net/news/stem-cell-therapy/.

    I thought you might also like to know that others in the community have asked about this as well - you can find her question as well as a response from one of our moderators, who is a long time COPD'er, here: https://copd.net/q-and-a/stem-cell-benefit/.

    Please do come by any time.

    Best,
    Jenn (COPD.net Team)

    1. The answer is no. Stem cell therapy doesn't work . Think about it ! They take stem cells out of your body and re inject them. Every stem cell has a different area of your body that it is designated for. They can not isolate the ones that just benefit your lungs. Random gathering of t cells without Isolating any of them and re injecting them benefits only the clinics that do the procedure. By using your hard earned money. they gain , but you loose. They are not FDA approved and no doctor in the world backs them unless they are involved in the scam. Four things don't smoke exercise and eat right and stay away from things that can make you sick(flu , colds , and allergens ) .will be your best course. That will be 8000 dollars for my advice , LOL

      1. Yes I had stem cell therapy it's very expensive and insurance would not cover it. I did not see any resulting after the process it made more arthritis in my back that's where they infected me. Please take your time and don't rush out and have this done. I can only speak to my experience and the loss of 5000 dollars

        1.  Hi again, CM08d6d9, and thanks once again, for sharing your own personal experience with both COPD and stem cell therapy. I am sorry you went through this.
          Wishing you well,
