WORKSHOPS with DR. DAVID PRENTICE:
- “Adult Stem Cells: Saving Lives Now” Adult stem cells, from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, nasal tissue, and even fat tissue, are being used right now to improve health and save lives, without destroying the stem cell donor. But embryonic stem cell research has not helped a single person, and require the destruction of young humans. Still, many people (including many physicians) do not know the difference between stem cells, or the lifesaving facts about adult stem cells. Come learn the science and ethics of stem cell research and see living proof of the success of adult stem cells.
