I am going to post this in FaceBook too. I consider myself a bit of a Futurist! The stem cell procedures will be a huge game changer for most of the autoimmune sufferers. The procedure has been referred to as a miracle! Rebuilding/fixing cells in the same miracle process that grows babies inside females. I have to believe this to keep moving, going to work, surviving not quite thriving. I am going too start a drive to lobby Congress to pass a bill to pay for this procedure for me/veterans and all citizens suffering with immune disorder. I fall short of calling this a "fountain of youth" but ultimately old age is gene related. For all of our lives our genes have been making copies of copies. Have you ever tried that? Now, this procedure has the capability to build new cells. I hope you all will gather the troops. We should not have to wait on the elite people called Congressman to make a LIFE CHANGING decision for us! We must order them as our elected officials to order the healthcare industry elites to PAY FOR THIS PROCEDURE! Look me up!!! Rob Thrasher the AI Guy...

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. If you're a veteran, you can already have stem cell procedures covered by your insurance. I did. Tricare Select is our type of insurance. $8-10K and paid not a cent. You just need to have a track record of having tried everything else first. Keep in mind that if you try stem cells, your body must have inflammation present and active for the anti-inflammatory molecular reactions within stem cells to be triggered. That means no anti-inflammatory meds including biologics for a good 6 months, just like making babies, no medications. Most people have a hard time accepting that. Success is highly variable largely dependent on how well the patient already treats their body, including commitment to some level of regular exercise and clean diet. As long as inflammation inducing ultra processed foods, added sugar, salt, high fats, let alone alcohol and tobacco products must be eliminated. Just like making a healthy baby in utero. Not as easy as a poke and an injection without commitment to changing what spurred your autoimmune action to begin with. If you dont determine what triggered that switch and stop it, no therapy will help, including stem cells. If it's stress/anxiety, get a psych/therapist to learn how to tutor that off before wasting time and body on any other therapy. Learn your triggers and stop them is the first step.

If you could get rid of AS by doing the AI generated answers, why don't you?

The A.I. answer is ridiculous, if I could do all that I wouldn't have A.S. duh
