Adult stem cells ahve been routinely used for more than 8 years for the treatement of the IMMUNO problems that come with cancer treatments.

The stem cell messiah is completely lacking. There have been frankensteinien experiments that have accomplished nothing, the only true use of stemcells as yet has been built on the idea, that if adult stemcells are reintroduced into a weakened immuno system, they will support the anti infenction system of the human body.

If there is anythimg more than an ear or a prostate on a rat, then why is it that Stem Cell, regeneration (called transplants) is only used on immuno deficiencies created by other treatments.

I DO believe there is a great potential for stem cell therapy, but it takes more than this to convince me that stem cells have gone uber ninja generalist in their affects, without something as valid as the other treatments built on adult stems.

People who don't have jobs? tend to require to be published. Doesn't matter if you accomplish anything, just PUBLISH something, THEN you are an academic.

I don't know the source, but I loved the term, "academic idiot"

Okay, I have been yammering, sorry.

The Slimes is slowly building the case to make cancer Bush's fault, too. Along with everything else, of course.

Why we just get it over with and say that stem cells can cure everything - including the flu and common cold. heh.

Actually there was a news flash about the probably cure for cancer already.
Seems scientists have been wanting to know what caused cancer cells to start up and grow. What do they look for in order to present themselves.
I believe they said that it was found to be a particular enzyme or protein and now they found it.
They showed a picture of it and said by targeting this alone, new types of Chemo drugs that don't hurt the patient or good tissue will be made in the near future and it will probably be the cure for cancer.
With the enzyme/protein gone, the cancer goes away.

Here you go.

Next we'll hear that stem cells cure Islam.

The Potential of Stem Cells

Stem cells are immature cells found in the bone marrow, blood stream, and in umbilical cords. These immature stem cells later develop into blood cells. Since stem cells can be damaged in certain cancer treatments, CTCA hospitals have developed techniques to add healthy stem cells back into your body after damaging treatments take place.

Stem cells can be used in bone marrow transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Both of these procedures are used to restore stem cells that have been destroyed by high dose chemotherapy. These treatments using stem cells may also be used for patients who have had radiation treatment for their cancer.

Stem cells are used in a type of cancer treatment called autologous stem cell rescue. This innovative cancer therapy is available at CTCA and can be used on certain types of cancer. In this procedure, your own peripheral stem cells and bone marrow are used to overcome the bone marrow destroying effects of radiation and high dose chemotherapy.
