FDA acts to remove unproven, potentially harmful treatment used in ‘stem cell’ centers targeting vulnerable patients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration took decisive action to prevent the use of a potentially dangerous and unproven treatment belonging to
StemImmune Inc. in San Diego, California, and administered to patients at the California Stem Cell Treatment Centers in Rancho Mirage and Beverly
Hills, California. On behalf of the FDA, on Friday, Aug. 25, 2017 the U.S. Marshals Service seized five vials of Vaccinia Virus Vaccine (Live) – a
vaccine that is reserved only for people at high risk for smallpox, such as some members of the military. Each of the vials originally contained 100
doses of the vaccine, and although one vial was partially used, four of the vials were intact.
