Current results are promising, You can either wait a few years or come to our center in the Bahams and you can have our aggresive therapy tha gives you the best chance to heal : Fill in the blank. Question: Who has the moral responsibility for all the people that would volunteer to verify the treatment? How many patints will die or, what is worse, grow an ear on their belly, like the rat did? We are a nation of suckers willing to buy anything the drug companies will peddle and our reliable personal doctor will push whatever drug he is given to push in exchange for an all-paid vacation, for him and his family to Hawaii, with the Conference on the new FANTASTIC early results from cell therapy. ---- Who has the Ethica and courage to point out that NOBODY knows how the stem cells work, nobody knows what marker identify its peculiar characteristics that are known to heal something from prvious studies? In short, money is driving this nonsense because when it comes to medicine, we are worse off than with Shaman and Curanderos. The oldest book on medicine, used for about 500 years to train doctors, in Afghanistan and centuries later in Europe had a high credibility. It listed herbs and treatments that had been proven to heal people over centuries. Now, we will promote treatments based not on hundreds of years but Millions of dollars! Why are the drug companies willing to do that? Because they know Americans are so credible, they will believe anything. I will never forget (I wish I did) Michael Fox pleading for Stem Cell Reserach. Any courageous heroes left standing? We need heroes. Just imagine the Ad!
