A first-person excerpt from Dr. Charles Mok describing a medical and legal gray zone around physician‑administered stem cell therapies. He says many doctors made stem cells in-office prior to 2020 (considered legal), that an FDA‑backed court action in Florida after a serious adverse event led a judge to classify such treatments as drugs and prohibit the practice, and that a later judge (referred to as 'Joe') recently criticized or overruled the prior legal basis.

The stem cells are in a medical and legal gray zone. So back prior to 2020, my group's cell surgical network, I'm not with them anymore. When I was most of the doctors were making stem cells on their own in their own office, which is considered legal to do. Then finally they went after a doctor in Florida who was doing this, who had a problem with, had a serious problem with a stem cell patient. And the judge sided with the fda, said, yeah, this is definitely a drug. We have to prohibit doctors from doing this procedure. It was relatively recently a Joe Judge overruled that and he noted had made up the law that they used to shut the concept down.
