A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
He’s not talking about the stem cells that can cure a select few diseases.
He’s talking about an alternative medicine thing which is basically sticking cells from your right arm into your left arm and calling it “stem cell therapy” then claiming it can cure hundreds of diseases.
There is zero evidence (or RCTs) showing his version of “stem cells” works.
The FDA bases approval on two highly successful phase 3 RCTs of a specific drug for a specific condition. You can read more about that process here
Neither psychedelics not RFK’s version of stem cell therapy has that yet.
Thanks for clarifying. I took the mention of stem cells in the wall of crazy tweet to be the more credible form of stem cell therapy. Considering I was fully aware of who was making the statement, the fault is mine.
I suspect my insurance company will soon cover shoving goat testicles into my scrotum. I'll be so virile!
