    Outline

    1. What stem cell therapy actually is (autologous vs allogenic vs MSC vs exosomes — these are not the same thing).
    2. The patient archetypes where it's genuinely useful.
    3. The regulatory mess — US vs Panama/Mexico/Cayman/EU.
    4. Source quality — the part the marketing doesn't talk about.
    5. Why terrain matters more than the cells — what we sequence first.
    6. The economics — and the patient profile that pays for the wrong reason.
    7. When we'd recommend it (rare, specific, sequenced) and when we won't (most cases).
