MANILA, Philippines Reminder for those who wish to have their stem cell therapy practice and products accredited: You have until August 31 to register, the Department of Health said Tuesday.
Citing Administrative Order 2013-0012 issued March 18 this year, Health Secretary Enrique Ona said that while the Department of Health (DOH) supports scientific advancement in the field of cellular medicine, its priority is to protect the public from harm rather than give a blanket endorsement of its use or potential benefits.
Those who need to seek accreditation include: health care facilities doing stem cell therapy (with the DOH) as well as companies that import, market, and produce stem cell products (with the Food and Drug Administration, which is under DOH).
Ona said the DOH seeks to regulate stem cell therapy both as a recognized treatment modality and for research purposes.
"This is to allay fears that unscrupulous individuals or groups will engage in unethical practices and subject naive patients to undue harm and unproven medical claims," he added.
Among the DOH guidelines are:
Ona conceded that there are only a limited number of medical conditions in which stem cell therapy may be indicated.
Others are claims that should be taken with a grain of salt, he said.

REMINDER | Stem-cell therapy accreditation deadline is Aug. 31 - DOH
By Philip C. Tubeza Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, PhilippinesSaying that doctors were exacting exorbitant fees for what is still experimental medicine, the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) launched Tuesday an online petition urging the Department of Health (DOH) to put a stop to experimental stem cell therapies in the country.
Human stem cell therapy for unproven indications is proliferating in the Philippines and posing serious safety issues to unknowing Filipinos The Philippine College of Physicians is alarmed by the false claims, misinformation and exorbitant fees for such stem cell treatments, read the petition on http://www.change.org.
The PCP urged the DOH to issue a cease and desist order to all doctors performing such therapies as the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) clarified that stem cell therapy was not covered by the governments universal healthcare program.
Cease and desist
We, the undersigned, call on the (DOH) to issue a cease and desist order to all doctors, clinics and hospitals that [offer] human stem cell therapy for unproven indications until scientific evidence to support claims of efficacy and safety are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it said.
The PCP, the umbrella organization of Internal Medicine specialists in the country, said that transplanting human blood-forming stem cells to treat cancerous and noncancerous diseases of the blood was the most widely accepted clinical application of stem cell therapy.
The effectiveness and safety of human stem cell therapy has yet to be proven for heart, neurologic, skin, rheumatologic and gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes, hypertension, autism, cancer, aging and aesthetics, HIV/AIDS and other conditions, the group said.
Lack of evidence
Despite the lack of solid scientific evidence to support the [application] of human stem cell therapy for these conditions, reports of its use precisely for these conditions being received and exorbitant fees being paid by prominent personalities abound in media, the PCP said.

Docs seek stop to expensive, experimental stem cell therapy
CHEYENNE, WY- (ACCESSWIRE - August 20,2013) - Therapy Cells Inc (OTC Pink: TCEL) announces that on 13 February 2013, US patent US 11/702,895 was awarded to renowned scientist Dr Patrick Casey and Transplantation Ltd, for his transformational cell therapy, exclusively licensed to Therapy Cells Inc for use in human applications.
This revolutionary science dispenses with the traditional notion that cells cannot divide once they are fully mature. Dr Casey has shown that adult cells, given the right environment, can in fact divide and be grown in the laboratory. These new cells can then be used for transportation back to damaged tissue in the body, to enact tissue and organ healing.
The research team headed by Dr Casey has to date treated more than 80 horses including thoroughbreds, standardbreds, polo ponies and horses at the highest level of equestrian competition.
"With a growing level of trial success in horses, Therapy Cells' target is to gain FDA approval, and in short order have human applications in human tendons," Dr Casey says. "An initial valuation of $30 million USD for our science and technology has been appraised. FDA approval for clinical use of this technology in humans, will likely increase this factor by at least 10 times." The horse is an FDA approved model species for athletic injuries.
Dr Casey is a Veterinary graduate from Massey University (BVSc, 1988), and graduate from the University of California in 1992 with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Comparative Pathology). During his time in the United States he also completed an Equine Surgical Internship at Hagyard-Davidson and McGee, Lexington, Kentucky, followed by a three year residency programme in Equine Reproduction, with a minor in Equine Medicine at UC Davis. In 1992, 1993, and 1994 he received a post-doctoral fellowship from the Equine Research Laboratory at the University of California, which allowed him to set up with the late, world renowned, Professor Liggins at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Since 2011, Dr Casey has been chief scientific consultant to a public company in the USA - Therapy Cells Inc (TCEL on the OTC Market).
This exciting Bio Tech/Med tech Company holds the exclusive technology that allows adult cells from a specific tissue (e.g. Achilles tendon) to grow again from an individual to enact repair and regeneration of that tissue, effectively by-passing the need for Stem Cell treatment.
"The financial and curative potential of this biotechnology platform is immediately obvious," states Dr Casey. "When we talk about regenerative procedures, the ability to rejuvenate tissues and organs with cultivated natural cell therapy, it's easy to understand how enormous the opportunity and the impact will be. The awarding of this US Patent for our transformational science is a significant milestone in the steps we have been taking to get our therapies to market."

MANILA, Philippines - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will conduct on Friday, August 23, a public hearing on the regulation of stem cell therapy in the country.
The FDA said the public hearing is scheduled from 3 p.m. to 5 p,m, at the Audio-Visual Room, 3rd floor, Annex Building, FDA office on Civil Drive in Alabang Muntinlupa.
The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the regulation of stem cell therapy, the stem cell products, and the health facilities that are offering the service in the court, it said.
The FDA also established an online reporting system to document adverse events linked to human cells, tissues, and cellular- and tissue-based products such stem cell therapies acquired in any facility.
The agency said those who experienced any untoward event or side effect or treatment failures after undergoing stem cell procedures can report through FDA website at http://www.fda.gov.ph under eReport and Adverse Drug Reaction, Report section.
E-mails may also be sent toreport@fda.gov.ph.
All consumers are assuredthat all information given will be treated with utmost confidentiality.Contact details are needed in case of a need for follow-up and validation.However, anonymous reports will still be accepted, the FDA added.

“Jerry Brown's
veto of AB926
which would allow young women to be paid for multiple egg extractions
for scientific research is one for the gals. In western Ireland
women secreted away their 'butter
and eggs'
money in anticipation of hard times. In my day every smart girl had
her 'mad money' to escape a bad situation. Secret cash for young
women is a great idea, but not when it turns on multiple cycles of
pumping powerful hormones associated (in other contexts) with ovarian
cancer into young women's bodies to produce 30 or 60 eggs a month.
That's not promoting gender equity no matter what some of our best
Democratic women leaders have to say. Selling sperm and selling eggs
are a totally different matter. One is pleasurable and safe,
the other is a complicated and invasive procedure. We need good
science and good research and freedom of choice and action. We
also need protection from false advertising. There are no
evidence based, long term studies of the effects of these hormone
injections on women ten or twenty years after the fact. Let's fund
those needed longitudinal and cohort studies and hope for the best.
In the meantime, women had best stick to 'butter and eggs' money. It
doesn't pay a lot, but it's less painful and a heck of a lot safer.”
