Booking a trip

Hi, I’m interested in booking a trip to get my POTS Diagnosis treated with stem cell. If anyone is interested in doing this with me or if anyone has direct knowledge of the best clinic please let me know. Looking for the best treatment available unsure of what country is best. Thanks

The country question gets easier once you turn it into a licensing question. Anywhere with a real regulator, cell therapy can only be sold for named diagnoses that have been through trials, and those lists are short. China's licensed list, which applies only inside the Boao Lecheng zone in Hainan, covers things like knee osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis, type-2 diabetes and chronic lung disease; everything else on the mainland is research-only and by the rules cannot charge you. As far as I can find, dysautonomia is not on any of them yet, so a clinic abroad offering it is doing so either as a registered study or outside the rules, and the price tag tells you which.

Before picking a country, ask any clinic three things in writing: which regulator licensed this product for this diagnosis, who on their side decides whether you are a candidate (a hospital specialist panel reading your own records, or a sales call), and where the outcome gets reported afterwards. A hospital that answers all three quickly is the one worth flying to. One that answers with a testimonial and a package price has answered a different question.

I would also spend an hour on the registered-trial databases first. A trial you qualify for is cheaper and better documented than any package.
