Medical Mecca - China

Back


November 2004
A controversial treatment using the stem cells of aborted foetuses is producing remarkable results. Many desperate patients see it as their only hope.

They come from all over the world in search of miracles. "We heard that people were coming over to China and they were getting better," explains Mike Thomas. "They were walking again, talking again, breathing again." China's lax safety regulations and different ethical considerations have enabled Dr Huang Hongyun to blaze a trail in this field. He is the only doctor in the world to inject stem cells directly into the brains or spinal cords of ALS suffers or paraplegics. His work has turned two pieces of conventional medical wisdom on their head -- that spinal injuries are untreatable and that ALS is impossible to stabilise. For the first time ever, Dr Huang has allowed tv cameras to film the extraordinary surgical procedure. In the words of patient Laura Jackson, "He does miracles here."

if god didn't want us to inject dead babies into ourselves, he wouldn't have made them out of stem cells.

We went to China few months ago for my son to have stemcell treatments for his eyes. He is 3 and was blind. Now he can see and pick out ALL his colors, and see objects 2 inches in front of his face. And we are returning for a second round of treatments. People can judge all they want, but until they walk in these sick/disabled people's shoes- they have NO ROOM TO JUDGE..NONE!Instead attempt to educate themselves!There's a reason God gives certain people challenges in their lives and not others.

Now it has been discovered that stem cells from a person's bone marrow are more effective than the embryos' because they contain the own person's DNA. Several clinics around the world now use bone marrow stem cell transplant with good success.

Well as the fact is there is no killing taken place, what is used is waste: the umbrillical cord. Get your facts right before you open your mouths

Killing lives to give lives is God's job. We tried and will try. Poor souls.

The "pro-life" Christian couple seemed to have forgotten about their religious beliefs as soon as they became paralized. Hypocrites are always more "sensible" when shit happens to them which they protest.
