Wendy, Many thanks for your kind words (and you are correct as to my position in the stem cell matter). As to the foot swelling, it depends on the cause of same. Is it vascular? If so, venous or arterial? Foot swelling can be due to blood vessel problems, mechanical factors, or even heart failure. The treatment depends on the cause. Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S.
