London Stem Cell Treatment Patients Claiming Results- is this legit?

Hi Guys,

I noticed a couple of weeks ago another so called breakthrough treatment getting media coverage. I couldnt work out exactly where this stem cell treatment came from and how legit it is?

Anyone know anything about this? Do we think it is snake oil or what? Here just some of the coverage:

Hmm, haven't heard much about this. My take, for whatever it's worth, is pretty skeptical. Both of those papers often run with exciting hair treatment stories that ultimately don't amount to much. The circumstances around the treatment itself seem unlikely to produce a breakthrough; I would very much expect it to come from an academic research team or a private biotech or pharmaceutical company that has done a lot of work in this area, not just some random one off clinician. Definitely makes me think of this kind of thing: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/...arning-signs#1.

That being said, I make no claims to having any kind of special knowledge or certainty about any of this.
