Advice to a friend
My friend suggests I "try stem cells" for my allergies, but I can't imagine how that would work. It seems like something from the future to me.

Actually, the idea of using stem cells for allergies isn't entirely fantastical — they're already being researched as a possible strategy for regulating the immune system, rather than simply treating symptoms. In short, such therapies attempt to modulate the immune response by reducing the excessive inflammatory process that underlies many allergic reactions. I found a good explanation at https://ways2well.com/blog/stem-cell-treatment-for-allergies-a-new-approach-to-relief, which describes simply and clearly how it works and what the prospects are for this approach. But it is important to remember that this is not yet standard practice, and its effectiveness in humans has not yet been fully proven in large studies, so it is important to be cautious and consult with medical professionals.
