An Australian man who was confined to a wheelchair by multiple sclerosis has made a remarkable recovery after receiving a groundbreaking stem cell treatment.
Ben Leahy, 20, was diagnosed with the disease in 2008 and lost the ability to stand within a few months.
However, a new procedure to combat the disease has helped him regain his health and he is now walking again.

adult stem cells.
Of course the media treats it like “immigration” instead of “illegal immigration” and “healthcare” instead of “government healthcare”

BINGO!
Adult stem cells have been showing great promise for some time now - with several apparent successes.
Stem cells from aborted babies - the only “promise” is that it takes dead babies to bring about testing... and so far, where are the big successes?

>>>Adult Stem Cell Cures = 73

One method is highly effective and completely humane.
Another method is totally ineffective and destroys human life.
And which do the Liberals choose to promote?

Another successful treatment using ADULT stem cells. Tisk - your statement of fact, if placed into practice - could curtail Satan's entertainment.
