My mother-in-law was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 18 months ago. There were a few times, that she almost didn't make it.
All of the chemo and medications that the woman took were to get her to the point where using stem cells, from her own body, was possible. She has had two rounds of the stem cell therapy.
Since then, she no longer has to have someone watch over her 24 hours a day. Now, she is back in her own home. My brother-in-law and my family do NOT have to take turns being with her. She was even cutting her own grass, again. Even though, we all tried to forbid her to do it.
My father passed in 1989 from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. So I had an idea what we were in for when Carole was diagnosed. I'm glad that she has had the adult stem cell therapy. I wished that it had been available when my father got sick.

That doesn't include the newborn cord blood stem cell use. If Micheal J. Fox had banked his kids cord blood in a family cord blood bank, he might be much much closer to a cure than he is.
So far embryonic stem cells are only used in animal research, partly due to their tendency to development of teratomas.

Steele should scroll this list at the end of the ad with his sister. That is quite a powerful ad.

Thank you for that list. Just printed it out and taped it to my neighbor's door. He was over last night talking his stuff about President Bush not allowing stem cell research. I had to explain the difference between adult and embryo.
