Agree…the technique should be understood before writing such negative article. Ofcourse for every scientific discovery there are two groups of thoughts. Nothing new.

First of all you have no idea what they do in the Emcell clinic. Stem cell are not injected in the brain silly but it is a two step process. First day they inject cells in the arm and second day they inject in the tummy. We got autism treatment for our child and anti aging for me.

After 4 month I have seen changes in my short term memory and mental sharpness and my child while not cured is substantially better.

As with any and all developments in any field, this too needs to be tested. However, their process can not be any worse than our process (the FDA) – it seems lately most every FDA approved drug that comes on the market inevitably becomes the source of class action lawsuits. Besides – is it just me or are we eliminating natural selection? If everyone survives at the going rate the entire planet will be overrun with not enough resources to sustain….Oh wait…we are already there…nevermind.

Until stem cell therapy can be proven effective in psychological disorders or in any medical condition for that matter. People should not rush to inject themselves with these stem cells until the dangers are known and it has been proven to work. Come on people!!!

my thoughts agree with Sun Day and wish they would,at minimum, feel ethically compelled to experiment only on consenting over-21-yr olds.

Before rushing to have their brains injected with stem cells, people should read the story about a lady who had pellets of bone growing in her eyelids after a cosmetic stem cell injection and maybe reconsider:

As to doing this to children… I have no words.

Hopefully these “physicians” are keeping detailed records so that the damage they’re doing isn’t all for naught. If people are going to be doing this with unknown consequences, they should freely share techniques and results among themselves so that patients aren’t needlessly harmed, even more than the inevitable.
