By David Prentice, PhD Editor’s note. The following appeared on the webpage of the Christian Medical & Dental Association. “Adult stem cells” refer to stem cells that come from the patient’s own body, such as bone marrow adult stem cells. Medical breakthroughs are routinely touted in the media, whether they are actual breakthroughs or promising, …

Gives Patients New Chance at Life Pain and Drug Free By Katey Price, J.D. A new study published in the journal Neurology found that adult stem cells were successful in treating and reversing neuromyelitis optica, a debilitating autoimmune disease similar to multiple sclerosis (MS). This is yet another medical breakthrough for adult stem cells, as …

By Wesley J. Smith During the Great Embryonic Stem Cell Debate, circa 2001-2008, I watched “the scientists” blatantly lie about the supposedly low potential for adult stem cells and the CURES! CURES! CURES that were just around the corner from embryonic stem cells. You remember: Children would soon be out of their wheelchairs and Uncle …

By Dave Andrusko Understandably, all the attention in response to an article posted Monday in the journal “Nature” was captured in the headline in many ensuing stories: “Second HIV patient is in long-term remission, a decade after the first.” The patient, “whose identity hasn’t been disclosed, was able to stop taking antiretroviral drugs, with no …

By Dave Andrusko Still another reminder how important it is to have a pro-life President. Pro-abortion groups are determined to “redeem” abortions by using tissue from the bodies of these babies in biomedical research. The Trump administration has worked assiduously to find and fund ethical alternatives. On Monday the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released …

By Dave Andrusko The beauty of the web is that one thing leads to another to another with often times fascinating results. Such is what happened when I was trolling for information to reply to a friend. I ran across a piece written by the late Robin Toner, under the headline, “The abortion debate, stuck …

By Claire Chretien February 8, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Cutting-edge treatment with adult stem cells helped a paralyzed woman regain feeling in her body and start to walk again. The Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) released a new video of Laura Dominguez-Tauer, whose story they first told in 2011, showing the progress in her life since receiving …

But a young boy in Germany has literally had his skin—and his life—saved through the use of genetically-engineered adult stem cells. Adult stem cells are the ethically acceptable alternative to …

In a controlled study, patients received a single injection of a type of adult stem cell, isolated from umbilical cords. Patients who received these cells showed significant and long-lasting improvement in the …
