Seph Fontane Pennock Advocates for Independent Vetting in U.S. Health Care Amidst Diagnostic Challenges
Seph Fontane Pennock has launched Regenerated.com, a platform aimed at providing independent vetting for regenerative and functional medicine clinics in the U.S. This initiative comes in response to the challenges faced by millions of Americans with chronic and autoimmune diseases, which are often difficult to diagnose. According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, approximately 50 million Americans are affected by autoimmune diseases, though peer-reviewed estimates suggest a lower diagnosed figure of over 15 million. The diagnostic process is lengthy, averaging 4.5 years and involving multiple doctors, during which many patients feel dismissed. A 2022 MITRE-Harris Poll found that 52% of U.S. patients feel their symptoms are ignored or not believed. Regenerated.com aims to fill the information gap by evaluating clinics based on criteria such as credentials, evidence, and transparency, helping patients make informed decisions.
