This is day 5 since I had my third Bone Marrow Stem Cell Prolotherapy treatment This is day 5 since I had my third Bone Marrow Stem Cell Prolotherapy treatment for my complex torn meniscus. I updated the below other thread with the details. I'm totally happy about the procedure. The doc said...

Update on my Stem Cell Prolotherapy Treatment of my Torn Knee Meniscus I just updated a thread at BackPackingLight.com after having just finished 4 days ago my third Stem Cell Prolotherapy treatment. Before I do a concise report on that here, the latest issue of the Journal of Prolotherapy is...

Rolf Structural Integration question Well said. My son who is a Gryotonics Master Trainer in DC advised me to either undergo MyoFascial Release or Rolf Structural Integration in the Albany area to take care of case of Myofascial Tissue buildup on my right shoulder in reaction to using a...

Thanks, Carol. With insurance the way it is these days, I have a $5,000 deductible, and pay the first $5000 out of pocket with pre-tax dollars using my Health Savings Account (but my company puts in $1,000 into that HSA account each year), where a procedure is covered by insurance or not is...

By definition, if the median is 1989, then there are as many research articles since 1989 as there were before 1989, making (basically) half the data much more recent. Looking at their footnotes, there are 34 articles with a median of 1997; there 17 articles with a median of 2000. The paper...

I presume you're asking how my knee is doing. I've only had the one Stem Cell Prolotherapy session done (Oct 18). I am 100% satisfied with the results, and as the doctor informed me, he suspects I'll need to have the procedure done 3-4 times. Personally I think I'll only need it done 3...

The median value year of all the footnotes is 1989 with the max value 2001. In human health studies, longitude and persistence over decades is a valuable input to a medical society taking a consensus opinion on a practice. The min value is 1930. The scientific method goes back hundreds of...

I'm wondering where it's best to do a 1/2 day or full day hike during hunting season on the weekend within 90-120 minute drive from Albany. I'm wondering if Fire Tower road/trail hikes are better or worse to do during the Hunting Season. I'll be wearing orange. Any suggestions? I was...

What about this Cordura Windshirt? (I'm looking to get one now, Alan). Want to protect my Down Jacket, next time I bushwhack in thorns. Thanks for the Bushwhack though! I'm game for any future ones (as long as they aren't like the Cornell Crack)...

Day 5 after having a Stem Cell Bone Marrow Prolotherapy done for a torn Meniscus Today is day 5 after having a Stem Cell Bone Marrow Prolotherapy done for a torn Meniscus. I had it done in Oak Park, IL at CaringMedical.com by Dr. Ross Hauser, M.D. It was for a complex torn meniscus (a MRI...

Consider either this year's model or next year's Spot Connect I just saw this video about the Spot Connect. It enables you to communicate by satellite to friends, automobile tow/repair service, and/or an emergency SOS center. And it only weighs 4.9 oz (w/ batteries) . On the John Muir Trail...

Doug, did you hear the counterpoint or are you only listening/reading half the debate? I'm referring to the below paragraph. By the way, Dr. Hauser has a great critique on the established insurance companies and medical critics of Prolotherapy who use "placebo" studies to show that the...

Kevin, I live in your neck of the woods a month each year. That's where the McClure Meadow Ranger Station NPS Ranger (Kings Canyon NPS) said him and his boss felt the Spot was going to save your life faster (because the Spot people knew how to contact the NPS faster when an emergency happens...
