Adult Stem Cells May Cure Sickle Cell in Adults

Researchers say that a new method of bone marrow transplantation cured nine out of 10 adult patients with sickle cell disease, an inherited condition that causes bouts of severe pain, organ damage and sharply limits life expectancy. Adults have typically not been candidates because they were thought to be too sick to handle the high doses of chemotherapy and radiation necessary to prep the body for the procedure. Until now, transplantation was generally reserved for more resilient children, whose bodies had not yet suffered as much damage from sickle cell disease. Drugs.com

  1. This is great information; we need more people in this arena on Stem Cells. Wouldn’t it be great if you could release you own adult stem cells. I would like to introduce you to the World’s First Stem Cell Enhancer. It is proven by Science and Medical Teams in a Peer Review study.

    Adult stem Cells can become any organ, tissue, or muscle in the body. After taking 1 gram of StemEnhance your body releases 3 to 4 million adult stem cells, into the blood stream. This is the body’s natural way to renew, refresh, and rejuvenate itself anyway. We are unleashing a whole new system of the body that has always been there. This is an all natural botanical extract for everyone.

  2. Thank you, Ray. Readers, this is FYI. I can't tell you whether this is good science or advisable to follow; I don't make it a practice to pass along advertising pitches, but I also don't like to reject comments out of hand. Caveat emptor!
