1st person treated with stem cells has regained 50% use of fully paralyzed body

Remember when Republican Christians were fighting this because they claimed it was aginst gods will. Republicans in Congress tried to block the laws and so on claiming doctors would farm human babies for stemcells ect..ect...

Now a paralyzed man can do this because we ignored Republican/Christian fear mongering..and Obama signed a executive order. He now has the chance to maybe even walk again because of Democrats pushing to change the previous Republican ban.

..but..but.. both parties are the same.. Perhaps we should just ban Republicans.

Yeah I remember Ronald and Nancy Reagan where I can stem cell research and tell Ronald Reagan got Alzheimer's and then they opened up the Ronald and Nancy Reagan research institute to speed up the use of stem cells in research.

Republicans are such fucking hypocrites

In 1995, he and Mrs. Reagan established the institute. When the president became too incapacitated and could not function normally, Nancy Reagan began supporting federally funded embryonic stem cell research in the hopes that such research could lead to an Alzheimer's cure.

Yeah it was suddenly diffrent when former dear leader might get helped by it.. Republicans in Congress still fought it though.. They blocked the bills in Congress so Obama had to sign the EO.

Nancy at least came around in her later years and saw the Republicans for what they are..

Science 1 : Christians 0

no worries trump will reverse this obama order soon :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I predict at time in the not too far away future where a baby's umbilical cord and placenta are saved and not throw in the bins, everything we need to recover from any thing and live another 50 years is contained in them... and currently there dumped in the bin. There private companies doing it now at inflated costs soon it will become mainstream.

The cure will be created after I’m gone. But, it depends on why the paralysis is there. Sometimes it’s a severed spine, broken vertebrae, or unexplained reasons. Obviously there’s a disconnect in the spine but it’s not always found.

you had better stop stating facts with the above crowd :2 cents:

It will never be a fix all cure, however their continually finding medical issues that were previously unfixable that are now able to be repaired with a stem cell based fix, another tool in the box of the medical professional, and one that's becoming more valuable every year. Regulators need to crack down on the marketing of unproven stem cell therapies and the billion dollar money industry behind them. Google "stem cell storage" in your area and you realise what a money maker it is.

idiot... No one ever said this was a cure for everyone who is paralyzed.. Why do you have to try and pick everything good apart..

Because of people like me that guy may walk again, if it were up to people like you he'd be bed ridden for the rest of his life because you vote fort idiots like yourself...

This is absolute proof of the night and day difference between Democrats and Republicans.. you guys are shit we are not..

Why is anyone against stem cell research?

Because Republicans... they rallied against it, blocked it in Congress. Used fear tactics saying it would lead to baby farms.. Claimed it was against God's will the whole 9 yards.


The same shit they did with Obamacare claiming there would be death panels and all the lies they told.

Absolutely disgusting people.

Doctors Are Yet Again Begging People To Stop Eating A Part Of Their Own Body


Placentophagy – the practice of consuming the placenta – has gained popularity in recent years. Its proponents claim it has a range of health benefits, from upping iron levels to improving mood, but a new recommendation by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) strongly disagrees, noting that eating your placenta has zero known health benefits and can even cause harm.

The placenta is an organ that forms during pregnancy and attaches to the lining of the womb. It delivers important nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood to the baby, which is attached to the placenta via the umbilical cord. It releases hormones that aid the baby’s growth and helps protect it from bacterial infections.

But while placentas are clearly beneficial to the health of unborn babies, that really doesn’t mean us adults should be eating them. Advocates of the rather grim practice say eating your own placenta – either raw, cooked, or in pills or smoothies – boosts iron levels, increases milk supply, and even improves mood.

Although these “benefits” might sound appealing to exhausted mothers who have recently given birth, the new recommendation by the SOGC, which is outlined in an opinion piece in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, strongly suggests otherwise.

“Currently, there is no strong evidence to suggest that placental consumption is beneficial for human health,” said Dr Jocelynn Cook, chief scientific officer of the SOGC, in a statement. In fact, a new study published just last week found that eating the placenta makes no difference to postpartum depression, lactation, energy levels, or vitamin B12 levels.

Many advocates use the argument that wild animals often eat their placentas. While this is true, many wild animals also eat their own children. Perhaps we shouldn’t be using them as a guide. It’s not totally clear why some mammals consume the placenta, but it might be to do with nutrition or pain relief, or to protect their young from predators who, by smelling the fresh placenta, might infer a tasty newborn snack is up for grabs.

Still, a multitude of species don’t do it, so we’re not exactly missing out.

A simple Google search comes up with various websites purporting the idea that consuming the placenta helps new mothers recover faster and “avoid the baby blues”. Funnily enough, you can pay these companies to encapsulate your placenta into easy-to-swallow pills. One site, Placenta Benefits.info, even sells sheep placenta capsules, which they claim “help rejuvenate the body and skin”.

In addition to not having any proven health benefits, eating your placenta can actually cause harm, notes the SOGC. Poor handling of placentas and improper sterilization can lead to contamination with dangerous bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which can make you, and even your baby, sick.

In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) detailed a case study of a woman who transferred group B streptococcus, a bacterial infection commonly found in the vagina, to her baby via placenta capsules. The company that produced the pills didn’t heat the placenta sufficiently to kill the bacteria, so it’s thought it colonized the mother’s skin and intestines and was transferred to her baby via her breast milk.

“The scientific research shows that there is both potential and documented harm associated with the consumption of human placenta,” added Dr Cook.

The possible benefits of eating the placenta are still understudied, so future research might shed more light. But for now, there is no solid evidence to back up the claims and we know the practice can be unsafe. Unless you’re a rat, a goat, or a chimpanzee, we recommend keeping your placenta well away from your mouth.


Warning if you have a week stomach!!!!

If there is nothing detrimental in eating the placenta, and a woman feels it does good, why stop it?

Paralysis isn’t a general term. Like I said, it depends on how the paralysis developed. There is always hope that they can find a cure or a procedure that eliminates the paralysis. Spinal experimental surgery on volunteers could be the start.

The Bionic Man was a great show that someday might be a reality. No, The Six Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors. Obviously it will be expensive but will insurance ever cover it? Even at six figures, will it save insurance companies money over leaving things alone?
