Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash For Endorsing Controversial Stem Cell Therapy
Last Updated: Kim Kardashian faces backlash for sharing her experience with expensive stem cell treatment in Mexico for pain. Fans criticized her for endorsing an option out of reach for most. Kim Kardashian is facing criticism online after sharing details of her experience with a high-cost stem cell treatment in Mexico, which she credited for relieving years of severe shoulder and back pain. While the reality star described the procedure as life-changing, her post sparked backlash from followers who accused her of endorsing an option out of reach for most people. The 44-year-old reality star shared on Instagram that she went to Mexico with her sister Khloe Kardashian for a Muse stem cell treatment by Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna, a clinic that focuses on regenerative medicine. Kim revealed that her shoulder injury dated back two years, when she tore it lifting weights. The damage left her with what she described as 'debilitating" pain, and despite trying numerous treatments in the United States, she found no relief. Kardashian, known recently for her SKIMS face wrap, shared photos from inside the sleek, minimalist clinic, showing herself in black pajamas and wearing dark protective goggles while undergoing the procedure. 'I'm so excited to share my stem cell journey," Kardashian wrote on Instagram. She said she was treated at Eterna Health in Mexico by Dr. Adeel Khan using Dezawa Muse cell. 'I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since," she stated. Encouraged by those results, Kardashian returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain. 'The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again," she said. 'I felt relief instantly, and the unbearable pain was finally gone. If you're dealing with back pain, I can't recommend this enough, it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down." She thanked the doctor and his team for giving her hope 'when I thought I had none left." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) Expensive and unavailable in the US Stem cell therapy of this kind is not currently available in the United States, prompting Kardashian to travel abroad for treatment. According to Global Stem Cell Therapy, a shoulder procedure can cost between $4,000 and $15,000. In the U.S., such treatments are often considered controversial due to ethical and political debates surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. However, not all procedures involve embryonic sources. As DVC Stem notes, stem cells can also be derived from the umbilical cord, breast milk, or bone marrow, although these are not pluripotent. Kardashian's followers were quick to point out the exclusivity of the procedure. Comments on her post included, 'Hey Kim, we're poor," and 'We're not all billionaires, unfortunately." Another wrote, 'She tells the story like we all can relate… oh, I'll just fly to Mexico to have some special procedure done by some special doctor." Some accused her of flaunting privilege, while others suggested she was promoting a treatment that lacked accessibility for the general public. Kardashian urges caution In her post, Kardashian acknowledged that stem cell therapy 'isn't right or accessible for everyone" and advised people to 'do their homework" and consult medical professionals. She added that she hopes science will progress so more patients can benefit from similar treatments in the future. The reality star has returned to her regular fitness routine, continuing intense workouts with trainer Melissa Alcantara. In August 2023, she tore her shoulder and a tendon, yet was back in the gym within weeks. Her training habits have previously drawn attention, including in 2022 when she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to wear Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

On Friday, August 8, the Skims founder, 44, took to Instagram to share her 'stem cell journey' with followers. 'Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna,' she penned in her caption. 'His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells™️, and the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since.' 'Encouraged by this success, I recently returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years,' Kim continued. 'The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone,' she revealed. 'If you're struggling with back pain, I can't recommend this treatment enough – it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down.' The Kardashians star noted that she had to travel to Mexico for the treatment 'since Muse stem cells aren't yet accessible in the US.' Fans took to the comment section to express their frustration with Kim promoting a treatment that typically costs thousands of dollars. 'As a regular person, I tore my shoulder two years ago and I still have problems,' one person commented. 'Why are you selling us something we can't afford? Just stick to the nipple bra.' 'We're not all billionaires unfortunately,' a second fan chimed in. A third fan wrote, 'How wonderful for you, but most can't afford this.' 'Kim, there's people that are dying,' another person joked, referencing Kourtney Kardashian's infamous quote on Keeping Up with the Kardashians regarding Kim's reaction to losing her earring in the ocean. Stem cell therapy has been deemed controversial due to ethical concerns. According to Mayo Clinic, 'Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. It is the next chapter in organ transplantation and uses cells instead of donor organs, which are limited in supply.' Solve the daily Crossword

You're about to start hearing a lot more about Porsche design watches
A bit of history: It wasn't too long after the now-famed designer and Porsche scion Ferdinand Alexander 'Butzi' Porsche unveiled the 911 in 1963 that he also began designing watches. His motto was 'Form over function,' and in 1972 he founded Porsche Design, an independent studio where he created the first Chronograph 1 watch—famously worn by Mario Andretti when he won the Formula One World Championship in 1978. Versions of the Chronograph 1 were also seen in the 1970s on other famous wrists, including Ralph Lauren 's. Porsche Design designed all these watches in-house, drawing inspiration from the brand's automotive heritage. But the watches—from the first all-black Chronograph 1 (released in 1972) to the Titan Chronograph (an all-titanium watch unveiled in 1980), Chronotimer and Sport Chrono Collection—were always manufactured through partnerships with companies such as Orfina, IWC Schaffhausen and Eterna (which Porsche Design also later bought and sold). Then, in 2017, Porsche Design opted to take control of the manufacture of the watches, using a small factory in Solothurn, Switzerland. And now that it's been fully united with Porsche AG, leadership says it wants to triple its manufacturing capability. The brand is also working with its first multistate retail partner in America, Watches of Switzerland, and has even brought actor Orlando Bloom on as a brand ambassador for all its lifestyle categories, including watches, eyewear (famously worn by Yoko Ono in the 1980s) and luggage. Bloom is also an ambassador for Porsche cars. Buescher notes that the manufacturing facility could make only about 3,000 watches annually. 'To really bring the brand back, we want to build as many as 8,000 to 9,000 watches a year, and so we needed to invest in a larger space.' In scouting it out, they found the perfect building: the old Eterna watch factory in Grenchen, Switzerland, where F.A. Porsche had once worked. Since purchasing the factory in early 2024, the company has worked to gut the building and equip it with modern technology. The grand opening will be in the fall. The brand will use movements supplied by existing Swiss manufactures and then modify certain elements, but all the design and assembly will take place in-house. 'It's all about being in the game again in a big way, being seen as a serious brand that does almost everything in-house,' says Ferdi Porsche, nephew of F.A. Porsche. 'Like our cars, we need to focus on functionality and quality. Our design ethos for the watches is the core of what my uncle did, and by focusing on icon watches, we are positioning the brand for the future.' The most recently released watch, unveiled at a Watches of Switzerland party July 23 at its flagship store in the SoHo neighbourhood of New York, is a perfect example of the return to icons. The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 - 1975 Limited Edition watch is created totally in uncoated titanium- a nod to the uncoated stainless steel watch F.A. Porsche designed in 1975. It marks the final series, a limited edition of only 350 pieces, to be made in the Solothurn workshops. The dial of the watch reflects the dashboard gauges of the 911 with a matte black background, white SuperLumiNova-coated numerals and indexes, and a bold red stop-seconds hand for the chronograph timing. The automatic flyback chronograph is fitted with a modified Swiss movement and is a COSC-certified chronometer, attesting to its accuracy and durability. It features an engraved case back, is numbered and boasts the engraved signature of F.A. Porsch. The watch sells for 9,650 dollars, midrange for the brand whose timepieces sell for 5,350 dollars to 13,000 dollars. Buescher says that, despite the brand's large investment in the new manufacture and the costs to tool up for larger production, the Porsche Design watches will remain at the same affordable retail prices. 'I think that 13,000 dollar price is a threshold for us that we won't pass except for the custom-built watches.' Bloom, the only Porsche brand ambassador, concurs. 'Generationally it's interesting because it's still the right price for a serious collector and for an aspiring young collector to work towards,' he says. 'When you wear the watch, you feel the same proud feeling as owning the car. If you can't have the car, you buy the watch. And if you can't afford the watch, you buy the sunglasses.' The first Porsche item he bought himself at the young age of 14 was a pair of vintage original aviator sunglasses, Bloom says. Coming on board earlier this year to represent all Porsche pillars, Bloom—a watch collector and Porsche car lover—says the fit was synergistic. 'It started with my passion for the cars and the brand. I went to great lengths to build a relationship that I felt was authentic to the brand, taking myself to Stuttgart to build a car that I felt reflected my passion. Once I saw the watches, it continued,' he says, indicating that his Porsche Chrono never comes off his wrist. 'There is something so cool about the feeling of driving the car and seeing the watch on your wrist against the dashboard,' the actor says. 'It's so symbiotic. It's a timeless design that is running all the way through the family and the brand.'
