The Cure In All Of Us?

Stem Cells have for a long time have been a taboo subject, but recently a lot of information about there regenerative properties have come to light. The only problem being that there has never been an easy way to generate a large enough quantity to have a big enough impact... until recently..

A quote from a leading scientist-

"We were able to expand the most primitive hematopoietic stem cells (Bone Marrow), which, when transplanted back into mice gave rise to all blood cell types throughout three, sequential transplantation experiments," says Li. "If similar results can be achieved using human hematopoietic stem cells from sources such as umbilical cord blood, this work is expected to have substantial clinical impact."

there are a few companies in Japan who already do this, I don't think they have tried re-injecting directly back into the blood stream, but they have regenerated skin cells by spraying/injecting them directly onto the patients affected area

My question is, if you had the opportunity to Extract your own bone marrow, then cultivate and re-inject into your own blood stream would you?

Update:

This magic cell in all of us is at its highest levels when we are in the womb, experiments have proven that limbs can even regrow if development is in its early stages. By the time we are fully grown the cell quantity is almost depleted and so are bodys age... and then we die.

Update 2:

@ Mr E

"apart from what the body produces and substains"

They have isolated that "gene" in Stem Cells responsible for regulating and controlling growth patterns in every human cell. And have now recently discovered how to multiply ten-fold!

Trails have also shown that when brought into contact with Cancer.. the cells surround it and reconvert it back into a healthy normal working cell... Dementia, Burns, Paralysis all study's have shown improvements.

    The "cure in all of us" may be a stretch at this stage, but yes I have no problem with your bone marrow scenario.

    Mr E, you're an idiot. Damn chiropractors, gotta love 'em....

    your premise is wrong. cells do not function properly independent of intelligent nervous control. there is no "cure" apart from what the body produces and sustains, and never will be.
