Rachel went way overboard in her careless criticisms of amniotic tissue injections. [View all]

Normally I am very much with Rachel with her presentations, but her apparent slandering
of amniotic tissue injections was ignorant and careless. They have many beneficial uses in orthopedics and tissue healing.
She was correct on some things; for instance, amniotic tissue injections do not contain viable stem cells.

I will cite below numerous studies on this medical intervention from pubmed:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31779034/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25945496/

I could go on but I think this makes my point.
