For decades now we've read about a future where stem cell technology could regenerate entire organs. And while we're not quite there yet, it seems from our inspiring discussion with Drs. Angie Zinkus and Robert Harman we're reaching critical mass and much closer to realizing its therapeutic potential.
Dr. Harman is the CEO of Vet-Stem and has been treating companion animals with stem cells since 2008 and his method harvests the regenerative cells from the patient's own adipose tissue or fat cells as opposed to other methods like bone marrow. It's safer, costs less to extract and has similar success rates. Dr. Zinkus, a veterinarian from Memphis, has been successfully treating her patients with Vet Stem and introduced us to Dr. Harman.
Stem cell therapy has demonstrated significant success in treating osteoarthritis and is also being developed for liver and kidney disease as well as other inflammatory diseases.
Also discussed of considerable importance to every pet parent is Vet Stem's service, Steminsure, which enables you to store your fuzzybutt's stem cells for future need. We didn't talk about cost or insurance coverage but we highly recommend researching Steminsure for your kids.
