Stem Cell Research and Successful Application is still in its infancy . Two weeks ago, CBS Nework's 60 Minutes air'd one doctor with a dubious background offering stem cell for $150,000.00 cash to anyone with an SCI, MD, MS or ALS with a warranty. He assured all of his patients that they would be out or never in a wheelchair again. This doctor had several dozen patients, willing to sell their houses and cash in their savings for this American Doctor. The doctor was a scam artist, working with another quasi medical person who called himself a doctor. 60 Minutes proved them both wrong and no one got their monies returned. The recognized universities who are doing research in Stem Cell Therapy state that their are 200 clinics in North America offering their services to anyone with a fist full of cash. Hence, if anyone is considering, make sure that you can trace the medical history of the doctor who makes claims........ Best Wishes In a message dated 3/2/2011 2:37:36 P.M.

Geron labs is conducting a human embryonic stem cell trial this year. It is a small trial 14 patients. The patients can only be two weeks out from their injury. There was a lot of other criteria involved. They were looking to see if it was safe and if any of those patients developed tumors. I haven't followed up on it, but what you heard may be associated with that trial.

Did anyone else hear anything about this? Paul
