What to do About Dr Julian Whitaker

I recently received an email from an old friend who has had MS for the last 30 years. She was enthusiastic about a new clinic in Newport Beach Ca. It turns out it is run by Dr Julian Whitaker who claims he can harvest pluripotent stem cells from fat tissue and use them to treat MS. You may remember he debated Michael Shermer a few years ago near TAM, http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/...t-freedomfest/



There is some evidence that pluripotent cells can be harvested from fat, http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...from-fat-cells

There seems to be some research on rodents but so far I can't find any clinical trials addressing stem cells and MS.

Whitaker's clinic only has one other doctor who is a plastic surgeon listed. It would seem that he would need a much larger staff and lab to extract stem cells. Has anyone else heard of this clinic? What should I tell my friend?
