A Successful Stem Cell Treatment!

If you found this post because you were looking for examples of cures and successful treatments using embryonic stem cells, I apologize. Despite what you've heard from morning show hosts, John Edwards, and Ronald Reagan's kid, no such cures or treatments exist.

However, there are 65 scientifically documented cases of scientists using adult stem cells to treat diseases ranging from Autoimmune Cytopenia to X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has reported another successful treatment using adult stem cells. Jennifer Molson, of Kanata, Ontario, has MS. In 1996, as an otherwise healthy 21 year old, she was diagnosed with the disease. As the disease progressed, she lost motor control of the left side of her body, and was on her way to needing a wheel chair. In 2002 she underwent an experimental treatment using her own stem cells. Today she is going on walks, and even driving to work.

The best part? Not a single baby had to die for her to be cured! A major plus, in my opinion.

It turns out that John Edwards may have been right after all about people with crippling diseases walking again thanks to stem cell research. Unfortunately for him, it looks like he was backing both the wrong presidential candidate and the wrong type of stem cell research.
