Stem Cell Orthopedic Weighs in on Misinformation Within Controversial Performance Enhancing Drug Debate
(PRWEB) March 16, 2013
As the controversy involving PEDs intensifies, especially with increased media exposure due to the recent disgrace of cyclist Lance Armstrong, misinformation and half-truths have become commonplace. Even the medical community itself has been caught up in the wake of this controversy, by mislabeling substances such as IGF-1, a cytokine, as a growth hormone. Stem Cell Orthopedics recognizes this misunderstanding as potentially dangerous, especially if these important repair enhancers become overly regulated or banned completely as a result of this widespread ignorance.
The blog explains in detail the power of IGF-1, other cytokines, and stem cell medicine to help profoundly effect and increase the speed of healing in the body. The blog continues to illuminate the natural prevalence of IGF-1 in red meat and in platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), the highly effective and innovative treatment used by experts throughout the sport medicine world.
