FROM A RECENT SCRIPPS NEWSLETTER:
Dear Howard,
We are at the cusp of a truly historic innovation in stem cell research.
Last year, Scripps Research rising star Kristin Baldwin made headlines when her lab successfully created live mice from mouse skin cells. If Dr. Baldwin's cell reprogramming techniques can be replicated in humans, scientists believe they will be able to grow replacement organs such as hearts and livers, or develop healthy replacement cells to treat damage done by Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Disease.
Not only is this a major scientific breakthrough, but Dr. Baldwin's method of reprogramming cells circumvents the political and moral issues of stem cell research because it does not use embryonic stem cells. And, since the cells would be derived directly from the patient, the rejection problems that plague conventional transplant therapies would be eliminated.

Coming across this post makes me feel happy for those who suffer from this disease as the research is advancing every day. parkinson's stem cell treatment
i was diagnosed of parkinson disease 5 years ago,i started azilect,then mirapex as the disease progressed in february last year,and i started on parkinson disease Herbal medicine from ultimate herbal home,few months into the treatment i made a significant recovery,almost all my symptoms are gone,great improvement with my movement and balance,it been a year and life has been so good for me,contact them at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com
