The treatment uses hematopoietic stem cells which are from adult bone marrow according to;

Wouldn't want to use the expression "stem cells" if they aren't embryonic, would they.

When will the gullible sheeple learn about the triumphs of adult stem cells? Never, if the DBM has their way, it seems.
