What do you mean by you lose 10-20db hearing every year? Do you mean since your T onset? If you had been losing 10-20db every year since adulthood, surely youd be deaf by now, no?
I did,just waiting on a response back from him as we've been emailing eachother the past two days now.I know this may be beating a dead horse, but did anyone manage to get some sort of verification of the Korean clinic and the doctor?
maybe it means he does an advanced form of Reiki therapy, coupled with gene therapy.I sent him my audiograms along with other info but he's very secretive about his"treatment"
He said"I don't discuss the treatment with patients"
Don't know what to make of him to be honest.
Originally, someone snapped at me for continuing discussion of the Korean clinic. I was very uncomfortable on putting it as a separate thread, as I did not want to generate desperate hype and then suddenly give false hope, so I just let it be. However, I could really use some help.
I was swapping emails with Dr. Minbo Shim, and he has said a lot of interesting things that have made me more inclined to believe him. I told him that I have had a Vitamin D deficiency for many years out of pure inactivity and neglegence, asked him if a deficiency would be a problem for treatment, and he said that this was not considered under clinical trial, but theoretically, yes, and as soon as I caught it up to a good level, I would have to wait 3 months for full effect. He also said that a blood level of 80 was good. I also found his previous statements on growth factor intriguing, and he also emailed me a rant about the current state of medical science and he didn't believe a lot of the scientists were going in the right direction. There are also some documents of growth factor being effective in hearing regeneration, so what he says might not be BS.
I have tried to do a lot of research about him, and you can find all of it in my previous posts. Minbo Shim is an enigma, and has a lot of convincing proof of him being a genuine ENT that has traveled in many places, and it looks like he really is very informed on stem cells, even claiming to go to Stem Cell meet ups, and has also visited Heller's Lab for stem cell interests.
He has left a lot of digital footprints for me to start believing he's genuine. His clinic also has an address. I don't think a fraud would be stupid enough to reveal his name, clinic address, previous college, and show names of colleagues of his on his Facebook profile, some of which are rather active on FB. He even has a lot of posts on the Korean website Naver, which I would say is a lot like Yahoo. I don't believe a fraud generally has such an arrow on his back.
Yet, I am still cautious, despite all of this. I am trying to confirm as much as I can. I have tried to get the attention of the Korean clinical research database, CRIS, but have had no response. I even contacted the previous clinic Shim used to work at, but no response. I have been very unlucky.
I know he was featured in Russian news, but I still want to make sure. So, would anyone please see if they can get the attention of CRIS or his previous clinic, St. Mary? I want to get credible validation and/or documents.
This was actually more to do with stem cell research itself:Ah interesting. I'm intrigued, what were his thoughts on the current state of medical science and the direction scientists are taking when it comes to hearing issues?
I've noticed he really isn't that good at English, so I cannot really say much. He said that he used stem cells, but not directly into the lesion, whatever that means, however previously he has also stated he doesn't think the stem cells he does use have much effect."Anyway I am studying stem cells but I don't believe we can use it correctly with current knowlege"
"I also use some stem cells"
It doesn't sound Professional nor logical... I'm sure Shim is a real ENT, but I would never give him my ears at this point.
I've had a long conversation via email with Dr.Shim,it's this simple,forget about him.
He's extremely dodgy and purposely avoids perfectly reasonable questions about the procedure,he even threatened to put my messages into spam for asking a simple straight forward question about what cells he uses.
He has an excuse not to answer any of your questions,doesnt come off as very genuine to me.
OMG dats racist dude!It would be very helpfull if the exact details of the treatment are known. Though it is a bit of an asian way to keep it secret it is not an advantage. I wonder why there is no patent registrered to safeguard the treatment and allow openness and clarity to the patients. Though the risk would be that the treatment itself will then be attacked as being ineffective.
You're repeating the same stuff over and over again.
You never replied to this question : if you find out he's legit tomorrow, and his treatment is amazing, are you going ?
I think I have actually. I believe I said when I had the money. Saving up to potentially $15,000 or less for flights, two treatments, and Airbnb, is a bit hard, especially since I have to do college. Not sure if I'd even be able to do it with my plans of doing online resale. My ears have held me back quite a lot. (Well, my parent's divorce too.)You're repeating the same stuff over and over again.

Your experience with him pretty much mirrors mine,very elusive and defensive followed by threats of ignoring you if you ask anymore questions.I don't know about @Artemis2K but given the guy is legit and there would be enough examples od people cured from T at his clinic I would go in summer 2017. But that's all speculation at the moment. BTW Minbo Shim blocked my mail because I was asking too many detailed questions, I cannot justify such behaviour so the likelihood of me going to his clinic is pretty low. I don't trust him for the moment
Doesn't he inject Stemcells into the ear?Followed with growth factors?I have the money and if I found out he is legit and his treatment heals synapses and reduces H then I'll go asap. But I don't have money for higher treatments like stem cells and if I spend it it's going to take ages to get that amount of money back so I need solid proof...
I asked him twice to register on TT so we could have a public discussion with him. He never did.
It's time to forget about it for a while, until he decides to act as a professional. Until then, the guy is just a joke.
I think a doctor doesn't really have the right to do this.
Like I'm pretty sure that what Zazzio was doing when he posted about his clinic and the results he got is illegal.
Zazzio runs a private clinic in Sweden. He is allowed to post on forums, advertising his treatment as much as he likes. Nothing illegal about that. But i'm not really sure what you mean by "the results he got is illegal".
