BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley warns people to be aware of companies offering stem cell treatments and other human tissue injections through sales presentations at local restaurants.
He said they make unproven claims their therapies can relieve pain and cure, treat or mitigate health conditions including Parkinson’s, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and autism.
It’s illegal under state and federal law to sell these treatments without rigorous clinical testing and Food and Drug Administration approval.
One of these companies, Freedom Regenerative, sent mailers to North Dakotans inviting them to a free dinner where employees give presentations including false and misleading promises of pain reduction.
Wrigley said Freedom Regenerative did business without a state license.
“There is a cause for alarm, because these unproven products or therapies pose a significant risk to an individual’s health and financial well-being,” said Wrigley. “Businesses that make unsubstantiated claims and violate the law will be held accountable, particularly when they target older adults and take advantage of a person’s pain or illness for their own gain,” Wrigley said.
