Stamina Therapy
Stamina therapy (also known as ''Stamina method'' or simply ''Stamina'') was a controversial and unproven treatment marketed in Italy by convicted quack Davide Vannoni during 2007–2014. Mainly aimed at neurodegenerative diseases, the method relied on the conversion of mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. Its details were kept secret by its promoters and Vannoni has never published any details in a scientific journal. In the absence of scientific validation, claims of its therapeutic effectiveness are unproven. Faced with pro-Stamina street demonstrations and intense pressure from the media, the Italian government decided in May 2013 to allow the Stamina therapy to be provided in public hospitals despite the protests of the Italian and international scientific community. The experimental treatment was discontinued in October 2014. Davide Vannoni Davide Vannoni (7 June 1967 in Turin – 10 December 2019 in Turin) was an associate professor at the University of Udine for the comm ...
