I am sure some clinics will use real stem cells but there are many unscrupulous docs that would give you saline...or worse. Who knows what. The3y know you have no recourse if something goes wrong and you loose you kneecaps or something horrible.

For the cheapest legit places looks like eastern Europe. Places like Lithuania and Turkey are good but still $$$$$$$$$.

Mexico you got a 1-5 shot of at best getting some stem cells.

Nope, not me.
