A place I looked at in AZ claimed to treat almost anything with stem cells, including PN. They even claimed it will treat kidney disease. Based on my limited understanding of the complicated functions the kidney does, I believe the kidney will be one of the last body parts for which stem cells will be a possible treatment.

Stem cells may someday be part of the answer for PN treatment, but I don't think just injecting stem cells from fat into your feet is enough. I am willing to try almost anything, but am leery of anything that claims to be a cure-all for everything. I do know two people who had very good success avoiding knee replacement via stem cell therapy.

Anyway, after reading some info on the risks involved, and not finding any study that showed it helped PN, I decided the small likelihood of success wasn't worth the risk. I suggest letting other people be the guinea pigs. If it really helps, the word will get out and people will be lining up at the door.
