Download Adobe Reader Click here for a larger image Opportunities and Challenges: A Focus on Future Stem Cell Applications The makings of future news headlines about tomorrow's life saving therapies starts in the biomedical research laboratory. Ideas abound; early sucesses and later failures and knowledge gained from both; the rare lightning bolt of an unexpected breakthrough discovery — this is a glimpse of the behind the scenes action of some of the world's most acclaimed stem cell scientists' quest to solve some of the human body's most challenging mysteries. Stem cells — what lies ahead? The following chapters explore some of the cutting edge research featuring stem cells. Disease and disorders with no therapies or at best, partially effective ones, are the lure of the pursuit of stem cell research. Described here are examples of significant progress that is a prologue to an era of medical discovery of cell-based therapies that will one day restore function to those whose lives are now challenged every day — but perhaps in the future, no longer.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Heres something thats patented and might be of interest.Its patented and the only thing of its kind. Go to www.danleonard.stemtechhealth.com and see what you think.You will be glad you did.Thankyou Dan Hartshorn <JH1944@...> wrote: Anyone can have their system brought down by a malicious infection, no matter how careful they think they are being.There is a relatively low cost way, at least compared to the cost and inconvenience of either professional repair or replacing the system, to protect against this. There are two things that you need to purchase. First, a portable external hard drive (these are now available with 120 Mb+ of room for under $100), and second, a reliable backup and restore utility. I'm using Acronis True Image, available from http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/ for $50. Then you just back up your entire hard drive to the portable once a week or so and then unplug the portable and put it in a safe place. No matter what happens to your machine, you can restore everything including the operating system and all personal and system settings and software in one easy step. I've been using this setup for several years and have restored from it several times with perfect results. Considering what a major tragedy a complete meltdown can turn into, it's cheap insurance. H.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 OK guys I was wondering how long it would be before StemTech came up on this forum again,and here it is only a month later. Well I just have to warn you be very careful with this product it really works. But theres the catch I tried it very faithfully for three months and then I had to quit as I was on a constantly increasing downhill spiral of which only now am I recovering from. It started out great and I was impressed then soon I thought I must be going through a healing crises, but sadly this wasn't the case and I lost the ability to even transfer or roll over in bed! I had to stop the StemEnhance and slowly came back but it was scary. So all I am saying is try it if you will, but watch out! They are good guys to deal with and I got out of it with no hassle but the downside was less mobility, way less. Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
