This is wonderful, if...

I am not stupid and it is not clear and there has been a lot of confusion of two types of stem cells are used, one, adult, two, from abortions.

Which is this, and please don’t be insulting as it is not clear.

That was the first, and only, question that came in to my mind. Stem cells — adult or embryonic? It’s not stated in the article as far as I can tell.

If this is the same procedure I researched for my dad who was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, it is their own stem cells taken before they kill off the immune system and then replace the cells. It is also sometimes possible for donor stem cells to be used, usually from a family member.

My dad was sent to a cancer center but told he needed to be in or close to remission and that he needed more insurance than Medicare before they could help.

It is in the article. They use the patient’s own stem cells. All stem cell treatment these days is like that, I believe.

None of the above. My Dr killed my B cells and rebooted them. This worked for my bad eye problems.
