He uses adult stem cells derived from olfactory tissue. There are American patients who have achieved restored sensation and movement after being written off by our supposedly advanced health care system. The only media coverage I have been able to find about this was on an episode of PBS Innovation from 2004.<br />http://www.pbs.org/wnet/innovation/about_episode6.html<br />What's going on here? When I looked at the various federally-funded sites I find nothing mentioning Dr. Lima by name, only vague warnings about why you can't rely on results achieved by unnamed experiments. <br />This reeks of "not invented here" by U.S. based authorities. Or possibly politics associated with the holy war over "embryonic" cells lest anyone show evidence that supports the critics view--ie the value of alternative adult cell therapies. We have hundreds of injured war veterans who need help, shouldn't they even have the choice to try something that could get them out of a wheelchair?<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957815134581815866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189004028142085438.post-63747112741463325832012-12-01T13:41:53.534-08:002012-12-01T13:41:53.534-08:00Why does CIRM as well as others interested in stem...Why does CIRM as well as others interested in stem cell therapy for any number of diseases and conditions continued to essentially ignore that there are two ongoing FDA approved trials using embroyic derived stem cells for treatment of severe and rather common vision impairment by Advanced Cell Technology that could benefits millions of people worldwide????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189004028142085438.post-58602370676985914212012-11-22T02:40:09.105-08:002012-11-22T02:40:09.105-08:00There is no doubt that medical science has achieve...There is no doubt that medical science has achieved a number of mile stones, especially at the time of emergency but at the same time it is also true that its medication has a number of side effects. So at that moment stem cell therapy can be considered as a perfect solution that to without any medication. Thank you.Stem cell centerhttp://www.cells4health.com/noreply@blogger.com
