MBA, Apparently you're persuaded by one particularly outdated exposé on stem cell fraud (there are several more recent VDOs on shady operators in the stem cell realm) to discount the entire science and the considerable progress made in the past few years(?). And, you assume parallels between this shady reprobate in Mexico and researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in the US(??).
To those paying attention to progress made, we've seen certain specific types of stem cells proving viable in certain groundbreaking applications in the few short years since your attached Youtube vid was made. As RP points out above, repair of thin/damaged joint cartilage with mesenchymal (tissue-derived) multipotent stem cells is just one. Mesenchymal stems cells are also proving effective in treating certain blood cancers (with bone marrow transplants) and even severe burn repairs. And more recently, a new type of stem cell had positive results in cases of macular degeneration.
'Multipotent' mesynchymal stem cells are not potent enough for those of us with more demanding needs, however, just as the scammer's adipose (mesenchymal/fat-derived) stem cells would never resolve his patient's complex maladies. For us, only induced 'pluripotent' (embryonic-like) stem cells (IPSCs) are potent enough. ONLY ISPCs (discovered in 2007 by 2012 Nobel Prize winning researcher Shinya Yammanaka) have the researched/proven potential to differentiate into the DA neurons (dopamine producing neurons) needed to refill the 'hourglass' for those of us running out of 'sand'. The Scripps Research Institute is currently working with the US FDA to approve trials in late 2018- early 2019...
