A friend is doing stem cell transplant.was told will inject some to body & some to pancreas.doing for diabetes though not in insulin.is it safe.help?

No: As I mentioned earlier, stem cell treatment is not an approved therapy for diabetes. Your friend is being taken for a ride, she will be rid of her money but not diabetes, and may suffer additional damage to her health.

Stem cell apheresis for bone marrow transplant? How does this work and is it safe? I thought bone marrow stem cells were inside your bones, so how can you collect them from your blood? Also, can your body make more bone marrow without the stem cells?
