Revised and Updated Breaking FDA News: Finally Some Action Against a Cord Blood Manufacturer & MORE TO COME SOON!

Comments 0 Comment

For some reason, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it is, up until now, the FDA has been extremely shy about confronting cord blood manufacturer/resellers. I can’t think of a single warning issued against these folks, even though they claim to their physician customers that their products are FDA exempt, which I have publicly doubted is the case. (See my post: http://rickjaffeesq.com/2019/02/08/is-cord-blood-um…-treatment-legal/ Per the NY Times today, that changed last Friday, and for those living…

The Smartest Thing the Vaccine Concerned Have Done Recently (or maybe ever)

The Smartest Thing the Vaccine Concerned Have Done Recently (or maybe ever)

But first, the dumbest thing the VC do, IMO. I have been very critical of both the tactics and strategic decisions made by the Vaccine Concerned powers-that-be. For example, although I understand the emotions behind them, I think all the lawsuits challenging SB 277 were a waste of time and money.

What Should Happen if a Stem Cell Clinic Harms Many Patients? (Revised)

What Should Happen if a Stem Cell Clinic Harms Many Patients? (Revised)

Comments 0 Comment

Here’s my core position: I support a patient’s access to his/her own stem cells (autologous use) for any use agreed to by the patient after proper informed consent which is not tainted by false or misleading advertising claims by the stem cell clinic. This post is about autologous use, not allogeneic, i.e., another person’s stem cells. My philosophical/public policy/constitutional thinking is that people do/should have a right to determine what happens to their own bodies, so long as that right…

The absolute best part of my job is that I get to work on really interesting medico legal issues, interact with very smart experts who know their stuff. In July, I tried a California medical board case for a doctor who recommended medical marijuana to five-year-old who was having severe mood disorder problems at home and school. The doc saw the patient back in 2012, before the CBD oil explosion, and it was also back when the closest diagnosis for…
