I am a Medical Tour Operator, and sending patients overseas for Stem Cell Therapy has become the largest single portion of our business over the past year. This medicine is, and will continue to change everything, but you will not see it happen here in the US for 2 very good reasons.
1. It has the potential to change everything, and the medical community likes the way things are right now. Having a new form of treatment that could actually heal vs/ treat. Physicians, Pharmaceutical Companies, Medical Providers, and yes associations that should be looking for cures, all stand to lose a large portion of their income and their business.
2. Stem Cell Therapy and treatments WILL continue to evolve to the point of replacing body parts, and play a significant role in preserving life. Some lives could be preserved indefinitely, and with a Medical System that is already government run for people over 65… that wants to be able to make decisions on ALL health care, for ALL people… the question of who deserves to live vs/ who needs to die is exacerbated.
Thus… Stem Cell Technologies for North America (as well as any Socialist Healtcare system) will always be outsourced to those who can afford them.

Thus… the second issue. Presenting the “information” that these processes are available out of the country. We have always been a people who “believe what people believe – think what people think – and are told what to believe and think from the media… which determines it's position completely by revenues. Who is willing to go out and shoot their own Sacred Cow ?

Now… the GOOD news. Platforms like this (the Internet in general…) provide an uncensored compilation of real information, and (the generations that are just behind me), are able to search and find valuable information… and for the first time in history… think without being told what to think… and act with their own information !

and… if you don't think this is going to change EVERYTHING, you're not thinking on your own. Medical Tourism, which os simply the outsourcing of Medical and Surgical treatments beyond US jurisdiction is certainly making a stand, and will continue to until ALL Americans realize that they have the choice to select their treatments and care from among the best in the world… not just the best in their hometown… and add to that the fact that most medical costs are 80% less expensive overseas (The USA is now ranked #37 in the World) and you WILL receive better care and unregulated options… and it becomes a no-brainer.
and if you have not got brains enough to understand this, and think it through to understanding, we have Stem Cell Treatments available that will get that old gray matter functioning again !!!

You know, I am really surprised that there isn't a whole industry of cruise-ship hospitals popping up which do nothing but provide cutting edge therapies for people seeking medical treatment. They would just need a flag of convenience and hire their pick of enterprising doctors and other medical professionals who want to work unfettered by red tape. I'm not saying that this is 100% a good thing or that it wouldn't have problems or causes for concern, but I am surprised that this does not exist yet. They could stay put in international waters near a country with many potential customers, making medical tourism much cheaper and accessible. You wouldn't have to wait for seasteading to become a reality for this to happen.

Here are few things that are positive bout medical tourism.
1. Medical Tourism provides an excellent and proven solution for those in need in developed countries or from the countries in addition to those travelling else where for lack of facilities.
2. In long run, developing countries will be building more hospitals which are world class, thus improving the health care for the local public.
3. Competition in medical sector in developed countries will benefit the consumers alos.
On the other side, some of the medical tourism destinations offer little or no legal protection, in many countries there is no regulatory authority to protect medical tourists.
Thanks for this blog on latest developments in stem cell related treatments available in other countries.
