Stem Cell Fraud
• Miracle Cures, Health Quackery
Geeta Shroff of New Dehli is claiming all manner of miracle cures. It never occurred to me that there might be stem cell quacks.
Dr Shroff points to satisfied patients but there is no scientific proof that her therapy works. She would not discuss how her stems cells were purified or tested. There was no explanation of how the cells functioned in the body. Her clinic has not run any tests to analyse how the body is affected by the treatment, and western experts say that, potentially, she could be pushing an important therapy into the "realms of quackery", that her work is tantamount to "human experimentation".
