The most frequent question I receive at @ForeverLabsInc : “What can I actually do with my banked stem cells?” The answer lies in their therapeutic potential. Your mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be deployed to accelerate healing, reduce chronic inflammation, and support metabolic resilience as we age. This is why we are expanding Forever Labs to become a full regenerative biotech platform. It's not just a storage service anymore. Banking is the step you take to access options that sounded like science fiction just a few years ago. If you interested in preserving your long-term health, then let’s talk. DMs open!

Forever Labs and @SouthernSurgery are joining forces to turn your aesthetic procedure into the ultimate biological insurance policy. This partnership marks our next chapter in bringing world-class regenerative technology to our patients.

Big day for the @ForeverLabsInc team! For months, we've been hard at work building our partnership with Dr. Chad Deal and team at @SouthernSurgery, one of the nation’s premier destinations for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Our partnership launches today. Forever Labs stem cell banking is now available at Southern Surgical Arts clinics, bringing any person seeking transformation to own their years and age on their terms.

This is ragebait. I was there 10 years ago and San Salvador was already saturated with American fast food restaurants.

This story is 100% false. The way they describe it is complete nonsense. They probably never even went inside.

All $7 billion of your wealth tax would be wasted, or funneled through a dark network of shady NGOs. None of it would actually help the taxpayer and that’s why government has lost all credibility. Clean up the fraud before you ask for more from us.

This news underscores the importance of what @ForeverLabsInc does. We preserve our patients' own (autologous) adult stem cells - a resource that avoids many of the genetic and volume limitations cited in these cord blood lawsuits. Unlike newborn cord blood, which is a snapshot of a single moment in time with limited volume, harvesting and banking adult MSCs allows for a more targeted and clinically relevant biological "insurance policy" based on the patient's current needs. If you're one of the families who has been paying CBR for years, or even decades, to store umbilical cord blood that will almost certainly never be used -- consider the alternative of storing your adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) instead. Thousands of clinical studies now show how MSCs can be used to relieve pain, heal damaged tissue and improve one's quality of life.

This is the most revelatory paragraph in the article: "But cord blood stem cells have little medical value, the Times investigation found. Doctors rarely use cord blood anymore, thanks to advances that have made it easier to transplant adult stem cells. The Times investigation found that just 19 stem cell transplants using a child’s own cord blood had been reported since 2010."

This is massive news for the regenerative medicine industry: Two states (TX & AZ) have sued Cord Blood Registry, alleging a campaign of false/misleading advertising. A @nytimes investigation has exposed that doctors almost never use newborn umbilical-derived cells. Here's why:🧵

Coming in hot with a hot take: Celebrating a drug that impairs judgment, reduces motivation and increases paranoia is questionable in any circumstance. Doing it on stage at the Hollywood Bowl with a giant prop is ridiculous. This isn’t edgy or cool. It’s lame.

Japan's recent approval of the first commercial stem cell-derived heart treatment marks real progress in regenerative medicine. Closer to home, America is finally taking concrete steps toward consistent regulation of stem cell therapy. Banking your own cells with @ForeverLabsInc, when they're most potent, positions you best for these emerging therapies.

The public suffers when government is unable to keep pace with private sector innovation. A great example is what you see today in American regenerative medicine, where stem cell therapies are safe and effective at treating orthopedic injuries - in addition to being less invasive and lower-cost when compared to traditional surgery (e.g. knee replacements, ACL reconstruction). Yet very few hospitals offer regenerative medicine, and most group insurance plans won't cover these procedures, because they don't yet have FDA approval. I can speak firsthand to this. When I was diagnosed with advanced knee osteoarthritis, the only options that my supposed "premier" NYC hospital offered were lidocaine injections (temporary at best) or a full knee replacement (highly invasive, expensive). The consequence of excessive regulation is that we have now created a gigantic market for offshore medical tourism, where professional athletes and affluent Americans are creating a well-worn path to Latin America where they currently pay $30-40k (or more) to complete these therapies in unregulated clinics with no legal recourse if they are harmed. And yes, there have been many bad actors and quacks offering unsafe stem cell therapy. The FDA's job is to aggressively remove them from the marketplace. But over-regulation is not the answer. Bad actors are everywhere, in every industry. Thankfully, forward-thinking states like Florida and Montana are beginning to reverse this trend with thoughtful and innovative regulation that fast-tracks these therapies at the state level while enforcing high standards for safety and disclosure. @ForeverLabsInc is proud to be building and creating jobs in Florida as we participate in the future of American regenerative medicine.

@SMT_Solvers @AOC Prohibition of anything is obviously a terrible idea. I would rather see Americans voluntarily turn away from weed and gambling. Both are having a terrible impact on our culture.

@kvirgil @AOC Prohibition is far worse. Most crypto stuff the past decade was gambling.

I never thought I would say this but @AOC makes a great point.

Pro athletes in the US spend lots of money to undergo stem cell therapy in Latin American clinics during their offseason. They do this for one reason -- because it works. Wouldn't it be great if they could do this at home - safer, and at lower cost? That's the reality that is shaping up, thanks to Florida's new stem cell law that fast-tracks therapy for orthopedic injuries. Clinics and labs have to operate at a very high standard of sterility and safety, and you can bet that the FDA and the state of Florida will be monitoring them very closely. But this is a huge advance for American regenerative medicine. And @ForeverLabsInc is proud to be a part of it.
