Doctors Skirt FDA To Heal Patients With Stem Cells
kkleiner writes "For many years countless individuals in the US have had to watch with envy as dogs and horses with joint and bone injuries have been cured with stem cell procedures that the FDA has refused to approve for humans. Now, in an exciting development, Regenerative Sciences Inc. in Colorado has found a way to skirt the FDA and provide these same stem cell treatments to humans. The results have been stunning, allowing many patients to walk or run who have not been able to do so for years. There's no surgery required, just a needle to extract and then re-inject the cells where they are needed. There has always been a lot of hype around stem cells, but this is the real deal. Real humans are getting real treatment that works, and we should all hope that more companies will begin offering this procedure in other states soon."
i would also add this: "... and we should all hope that more companies will begin offering this procedure in other states soon..." how about changing 'states' to 'countries'... i know that some ppl equalize usa with world, but they would be surprised
Eating less WILL cause weight loss. I always believed this and got the proof when gastric bypass surgery became all the rage. If you reduce the size of a persons stomach so they can't eat as much, or remove part so they can't metabolise as much, they lose weight plain and simple. It's also a fact of physics. Now I'll agree that it can be very challenging to do and in that sense it's not simple - sorry if that's what you meant. But I've heard all the thyroid-this and metabolism-that, and in the end chopping out part of the gut causes weight loss.
