Heal Yourself With Stem Cells


ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Diseases … viruses … paralysis! We may all have the power to save ourselves. Researchers are making amazing discoveries with stem cells, using an endless supply that's in our own bodies.

Greg Minow is back on a bike. This one will help him walk again. It was another bike that left him paralyzed. I remember seeing the ground come up and then my head hit the ground," Minow recalled to Ivanhoe. Minow says after a stem cell transplant, he can now feel his hips and the top of his legs. This is just the beginning for the potential of stem cells.

"Stem cells by definition live forever, and they do," Emerson Perin, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiologist at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, explained to Ivanhoe.
