Stem cells

[Foxhound24]

Hi read an article in newspaper about stem cells success but can’t find anything with British heart foundation has anyone else come across this research

Hi. This is a link to research being carried out by another charity. Some ‘clinics’ offer stem cell therapies but it’s still in very early stages as per this link. So beware of those offering a cure all as trials appear to be in very early stages. heartresearch.org.uk/grants...

Hope this helps

Best wishes

Hi that’s what I thought long way off,wife read articles in the daily express told her not to take much notice of it can’t trust newspapers

Agree with Zena. Stem Cell science is a new frontier for many diseases. Research is not conclusive. We had a doctor here in the States going around Florida a couple of years ago promoting his clinic as a cure for CHF. Sending you to Israel to harvest your stem cells and then coming back to the States for the treatment. Cost $$$$ and some people went for it. After one patient was found dead in the clinic’s operating theater the clinic was shut down and the doctor had his licensed pulled and is now in a prison cell for pushing a scam on cardiac patients. Hopefully some day research will provide new technologies for health issues.
