Patient Testimonials
“Doctor Goswami was such a great find as I was at the point of giving up my cherished trail running and climbing pursuits. Well after two stem cell treatments I am back at it, and am looking forward to many more years of joy. I greatly appreciated the care he took explaining in detail the procedure, the care in execution, and the many caring follow up calls. He is the best! We are excited that many more will learn and gain more knowledge about stem cells through this wonderful book.”
—Megan and Paul Stevenson
“Fascinating read. As a successful recipient of stem cell treatment for my shoulder, it was very rewarding to learn about the science behind The Stem Cell Cure. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would love to stay active and avoid surgery.”
—Eric Davidson, Owner of Orange County Breakers and World Team Tennis
“I tore my entire knee playing football in college and was trending toward replacement. The stem cell procedure was a breeze. After six months, I could see regrown cartilage with improvements in motion. I knew there had to be a better route than cutting myself open again with another surgery. This book helps distill important concepts of stem cell therapy, I recommend it to every athlete and non-athlete.”
—Michael Spanos II, Los Angeles Chargers

Preface
From the turn of the century, stem cells have been a burning topic. That will continue for the next several years. With anything new comes a whole range of opinions—responses that may or may not be rooted in the facts. Stem cells are making news, sometimes for the right reasons and other times for the wrong reasons. There are advocates who swear by stem cells and groups that denounce them. All of this can get very confusing for you, the consumer. How do you separate fact from fiction? That was the underlying motivation in deciding to write this book. We have tried to present the foundations as you consider stem cell treatments. We will address various conditions that can potentially be helped with stem cell treatments. Unlike other books on stem cells, we have tried to be as objective as possible. We don’t advocate a particular type of treatment. Our goal is to provide you with as comprehensive an introduction to the world of stem cells as possible.
Nikola Tesla championed electromagnetic theory. But it took years to apply that discovery to cell phones and electric transportation. A similar revolution in medicine is taking place. In technology, the basic concepts of physics were discovered long ago. In medicine we have also known for as long that the fundamental units of our body are cells. It’s at the cellular level that things go wrong. This ultimately manifests in disease. We have overused pharmaceuticals and complicated surgeries to fix our health. While both of these have and will continue to play a role in certain conditions, the majority of our day-to-day medical needs can be addressed without them.
