@Daniel Lion about intrathecal injections has reminded me of a supplement that I have taken for autoimmunity and my hearing called "Stem Cell Activators". I don't believe that I have shared this information with the community before, but this is a supplement with which I have tried to ease in to the idea of stem cell therapy. I learned about it from a book on both PRP and SC by a naturopath named "Joseph Christiano". His book is titled, "Stem Cell Revolution".
The book is very accessible to the layman, it contains both scientific citations and a narrative of anecdotal accounts.
I will try my best to explain what I know about this supplement, and forgive me, it is possible that I state inaccuracies:
Stem Cell Activators are synthesized regulatory peptide hormones. As I understand it, whenever the body is injured and in need of repair, every tissue has a specific regulatory peptide hormone that it excretes in order to prompt naturally occurring autologous stem cells to travel to that site and then to repair that tissue. So the proprietors of this product have isolated those specific, naturally occurring, and individual peptide chains, identified their composition, and then reproduced them to be ingested in microdoses. Evidently this substance is so small that they call it "Nanotechnology," and it seemlessly passes into the bloodstream when taken sublingually or is absorbed through the stomach lining.
I was taking Stem Cell Activators for my autoimmune condition because of the claims that stem cells are wonderfully immunomodulatory. I can say definitively that the immune version of this supplement brought me from a mildly/moderately bedridden state to decently active in a few months. But why I am making this post is regarding the ears. I spoke to the company representatives extensively, and they told me that their serum associated with the calling of stem cells to the spinal cord and central nervous system has been noted by customers to reduce their tinnitus. Since this correlated to the concepts that I had read regarding clinics utilizing intrathecal SC injections, I decided to give this supplement a try.
Concerning my ears, I noticed very little change aside from a couple reactions. I had the sensation of an ear reset that was so deep and long, I went to sleep in a panic because I thought that I couldn't hear. The volume went way down and was distorted, though when I awoke, my hearing was much improved regarding the textures of sound that I could discern. I can't say that I held on to this progress long, because I seem to nearly enjoy reinjuring my ears via noise exposure; though I can say that I experienced the aforementioned sensation a handful of times, each time followed by slightly better perception of texture and overtones. Unfortunately and ultimately, I had no better stamina towards volume or noise.
I would like to state that I noticed not 1 negative side effect, and the distributor claims that they have never been made aware of a side effect other than mild nausea. The worst that has happened is no efficacy. But I rationalized this as an affordable means of experimenting with SC, and I told myself that if I experienced changes, perhaps I would go on to attempt an actual procedure. What I experienced was at least enough to make me curious about a SC procedure regarding my ears, and absolutely enough to make me optimistic about immunomodulatory effiicacy.
For those who are interested, the website is listed as the following:

Evidently there are other distributors of Stem Cell Activators, but I am not aware of those companies. The labeling of these products and advertising could be interpreted as unprofessional, and I'd agree, but try not to be influenced by poor graphics and labeling. They recommend 6-8 months of usage for a therapy cycle. Some people never stop taking the supplement in fear that symptoms will return. The cost is about 50 USD for just under 1 month of dosage. I could elaborate on dosage further if there is interest. I have heard about potential difficulties in customs with Canada, as the vendor that I have listed is USA based; though I believe the Canadian post was striking at that time, so I'm not sure if customs had an issue with this specific product, or if the post was just crazy out of whack. Ultimately the package was returned to the sender.
I would like to clarify that I am not recommending that anyone try this product; the purpose of my post is simply to give people who are curious or considering spending thousands of dollars an affordable option of something far less potent in order to potentially help them decide if SC is actually right for them as individuals with very subjective maladies.
