California has gone crazy for sketchy stem cell treatments - Duration: 10:22.

In case you haven't noticed, stem cell clinics are popping up everywhere. There are hundreds across the country, especially in California

The clinics peddle "vegan stem cell facials" or "stem cell vaginal rejuvenations" and claim the miracle cells can treat autism, baldness, dementia, diabetes, arthritis and paralysis all with a quick injection

 If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Advertisement >  There is no good scientific evidence the pricey treatments work, and there is growing evidence that some are dangerous, causing blindness, tumors and paralysis

Medical associations, the federal government and even Consumer Reports have all issued stern warnings to patients about the clinics

 So why do patients keep streaming in for treatments that cost thousands of dollars? Part of the reason, I suspect, is that stem cell research — the serious, scientific kind — has gotten so much hype in recent years

We've all heard about how some stem cells have the power to become any type of cell in the body and might one day offer cures for all manner of crippling and degenerative diseases

If you can jump the line, and get those treatments now, why not do it? Advertisement > California is the state with the most stem cell clinics in the country offering these unproven "cures

" Share quote & link  Here's why: Because the days of miraculous cures, if they come, are far in the future

Today, there is only one federally approved stem cell product: the limited use of blood-forming stem cells to treat certain blood disorders

Scientists are just beginning to learn how to harness the power of stem cells, and the harsh reality is that clinical trials that could turn that knowledge into effective therapies will take years, if not decades

 Entrepreneurial physicians surely know this, but it hasn't stopped them from piggybacking on the hype and excitement, injecting stem cells they pull from patients' own abdominal fat or blood, into joints, bloodstreams, spinal cords and brains with abandon and often charging thousands of dollars per treatment

 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has so far moved cautiously, in part because the cells fall into a regulatory gray zone

Biologic materials like organs, tissue and blood are regulated to ensure that material that is processed or moves from one person to another won't cause infection or other problems

 But clinic operators say normal rules don't apply to them since most of their treatments are barely processed and use a patient's own cells

They argue that patients have the right to use their cells and cite anecdotal evidence that the treatments work

Some clinic operators say they believe in the treatments so strongly, they routinely inject themselves

Advertisement >  The regulatory void leaves patients vulnerable to outright fraud

Patients often have no way of knowing whether a syringe even holds live stem cells

In some cases where stem cell products have been inspected, they have been found to contain only dead stem cells, or things you wouldn't want to be injected with, like the traces of fecal bacteria that recently left a dozen patients hospitalized

 And even if live stem cells are injected into the body or bloodstream, there is absolutely no evidence they'll migrate where they need to go and start repairing damaged organs and tissues

They are cells, not magic. And they can be hard to keep alive in ideal laboratory conditions

Injected into a patient and out of biological context, they probably just die.  California is in an odd position

It is the state with the most stem cell clinics in the country offering these unproven "cures

" It also happens to be a world center of serious scientific stem cell research, thanks to a $3-billion ballot initiative, Proposition 71, passed by voters in 2014 to fund research

 In the absence of clear federal regulation, the state has tried to step in to combat rogue clinics — but not with the kind of muscle it so famously used with car emissions

While California was the first state to pass a law requiring stem cell clinics to post a notice that their therapies are not FDA approved, the law is weak

And it's not clear whether it is being enforced or whether the notices sway patients

Enter the Fray: First takes on the news of the minute »  The California Medical Board, which has the power to revoke the licenses of physicians, is currently eyeing the issue of stem cell clinics with a task force and may take action

But the situation also demands broad action from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has moved inexplicably slowly and dodged the issue for years

 There may finally be a glimmer of hope, however. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has earned kudos for taking a stronger public stance on stem cell clinics than any of his predecessors

He's taken action against a few of the most unsafe clinics and has issued a sternly written public warning to consumers

The FDA is also now in court seeking a permanent injunction against two clinic groups

The agency has promised to regulate the clinics more strictly by the end of 2020

But that's far too much time to let unproven stem cell clinics stay in business.  Here's an idea in the meantime

The many scientists who have benefited from taxpayer support of stem cell research in the state should start speaking out

After all, the hype from proponents of Prop. 71 is part of what created such high expectations for quick cures – and eagerness on the part of patients to get them

Scientists should now take every opportunity both to explain to the public the long-term goals of their research and the absurdity of the so-called cures now flooding the market

US NEWS | California governor seeks to transform youth prisons The Sacramento Bee

January 22, 2019 03:52 PM

Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed Tuesday to change the way Californias juvenile prisons are overseen, eventually closing facilities to cut what he called the "ludicrous" cost.

"If were going to get serious about changing the trajectory of the lives of these young children, I think we need to do it through a different lens and not the traditional corrections lens," Newsom said at one of the states four remaining juvenile detention centers.

The Democratic governor is asking state lawmakers to put youth prisons under Californias Health and Human Services Agency. Youthful offenders currently are overseen by the same agency that runs adult prisons.

The current system isnt working, he said, with about three out of four young offenders arrested again within three years of their release. More than half are convicted of new crimes and more than a third are soon back in state custody, according to 2017 figures.

"If were going to change the criminal justice system, lets start at the feeder system, which is the juvenile justice system," Newsom said after touring a new computer coding class at one of two youth prisons in Stockton.

He also criticized the annual cost topping dollar 300,000 per young offender, noting thats the tuition of four private colleges combined.

The cost has spiraled as the number of offenders plummeted from more than 10,000 juveniles incarcerated in 11 state facilities in the 1990s to the roughly 650 housed now in four facilities, including one firefighting camp. The population is projected to reach about 760 youth next year because of various legal changes. Youths as young as 12 can be sent to the facilities and can remain in some cases until they are age 25, though many are transferred to an adult prison when they turn 18.

The remaining juvenile facilities are operating at about a third of their design capacity, the San Francisco based Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice calculated.

High fixed costs with fewer juveniles "are always the big burden," Newsom said. "Thats why its right to talk about closing facilities if its possible, if its doable. But youve got to protect the workers. Thats something thats sacrosanct to me."

The influential prison guards union, a Newsom ally, said it will fight to keep the same employees with the same peace officer status. Newsom said any closures would be worked out within 12 to 18 months. The governor said hes finding broad consensus among legislators to move juvenile lockups from under the adult system.

Some critics said Newsoms plan, first mentioned in his state budget, goes too far, others not far enough to dismantle the state run juvenile justice system.

Maureen Washburn of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice called Newsoms proposal "an important recognition of the failure of the states current approach. ... To be successful, this reform must end our reliance on large, costly, and remote facilities and bring young people closer to home where rehabilitation can happen most effectively."

Nearly 4,500 other juvenile offenders are in county detention facilities. But lawmakers have rejected previous attempts to send all the remaining state held juvenile offenders to county lockups, with local officials saying they may be ill equipped to handle the most violent or sexually predatory youth.

Stephanie James, probation chief in San Joaquin County and president of the Chief Probation Officers of California, said Newsom may wind up interfering with a decade of reforms that she credited for record low juvenile arrest and detention rates.

Former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger put what was then the California Youth Authority under the umbrella of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2005.

The Pacific Juvenile Defender Centers policy director, Sue Burrell, said most states already have an independent juvenile justice agency or include it under a health and human services agency.

She called Newsoms proposal an important and welcome step "because it suggests a different way of thinking about young people who get into trouble."

But she said the juvenile system needs more independent oversight, and in her view California should eventually stop using large prison like institutions in favor of smaller facilities near offenders communities.
