Congratulations on the amazing success of your treatment Nancy! That is truly an inspiring story. And you are absolutely right, news which doesn’t support the agenda of the MSM is ignored or misrepresented. If I read a stem cell article that doesn’t specifically say it relates to embryonic stem cells, further investigation almost always reveals it’s adult stem cells and the writer has omitted that to confuse the issue or give the impression that it’s ESC when it’s not.

Yours is an amazing story.

In Dec 2005 I was blessed to receive a hematopoetic stem cell transplant as part of a study ran by Dr Richard Burt at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. This study was addressing Multiple Sclerosis. It has been 1 year 4 months and my MS is now in complete remission. I have had NO side effects from this procedure except wonderful health. Two of my biggest frustrations is that most believe that there is no hope for MS, and that people continue to clump stem cells into one category. This procedure has been applied to cancer for years, but most people don't know that a Bone Marrow Transplant IS an Adult Stem Cell Transplant. Since I harvested MY OWN stem cells I also did not have to deal with rejection medications. It seems at there are very few places that want to report good news today. As it was pointed out earlier, they often point to any negative, no matter how far reaching. If you would like to know more about my experience, you can visit my site. NancysHope.org

ST,

Correction, Norm Coleman is from MN, not MI. In fact, Norm holds the “Wellstone” seat, and does a better job of representing Minnesota than Wellstone ever did.

A good friend of mine is currently in remission…thanks to non-embryonic stem cells.

While the procedure is risky and potentially life-threatening, none of the patients died or suffered lasting side effects.

Ahhh the never ending negative reporting for any progress that is not a part of the extremist liberal agenda. Potenitally life-theartening?? As if having diabetes isn’t. These guys are so obvious these days. – Lorica

This story was in the Sacramento Bee also. It wasn’t until way deep on page A13 did it mention that it was bone marrow stem cells (hematopoietic) which are adult stem cells. The media is NOT interested in furthering the fact that adult stem cells have been found to have over 70 uses and embryonic has ZERO uses and not for lack of trying.

When embryonic is mentioned the media ACTS as if embryonic stem cell research is banned when it’s not.

The media should be ashamed of themselves for their daily deluge of misinformation on a daily basis on a whole variety of subjects including their repeated referrals to budget “CUTS” that are supposedly happening in various programs from year to year. It’s unconscionable reporting.
