I was also quoted the same price $7500. But my thing is if it really works why doesn't any other medical organizations and/or administrators support this treatment?
I had one clinic to say it only took 3hrs to complete, I may be dumb but not stupid. Their price was $7100.
Sounds like they all my be scams just a quick way to prey on the desperation of people like me and you looking for hope.

I posted this same question a year ago and the only responses were from people that were told by their Pulmonologist to not waste their money. Nobody admitted they tried it, maybe they were ashamed that they were taken. I went as far as going to a clinic they took my insurance info had a interview with me and I must admit it was most compelling but no assurances. I cancelled an appointment for blood collection and said I would reschedule, but they never got back to me. I let go and let God. Save your money

The truth is that despite the advertising, there is no scientific evidence that any of the companies offering stem cell treatment for COPD work. No increases in FEV1, no improvement in 6 minute walk, no reduction of O2 usage, no reduction in med usage, nada, zip, zilch, zero. The only thing we know for sure is that people who have had the treatment are poorer by many thousands of dollars.
None of the current treatments are approved by the FDA, Medicare or private insurances. They generally cost from $5,000 to $10,000 per treatment with no results except that you're a good deal poorer. The companies have really glitzy web sites and lots of testimonials from satisfied customers. If you believed them, you'd think that people came dragging their O2 tanks behind them and left hopping and skipping down the path, tossing their meds away as the ran. Ask to talk with any of those satisfied customers: not one company has been willing to share a name or a phone number. As them for hard data and they don't have any. I've usually asked enough questions that they hang up on me. Try it!
I have known several people who were desperate enough to try the treatment. None of them saw any improvement over time, and three of the four have died (not from the treatments, but from COPD). Don't go there. In the words of Dr. Robert Sandhaus, "it's modern day snake oil".

Disappointed to hear this, guess I was looking for some sort of miracle cure. The stem cell people are hounding me constantly in my email to sign up so I guess I will not waste my time with this one, thanks for the info

Thank you for your input. I had some concerns and skepticism. They do talk and present a good line. That is for sure!!
