Doctors Skirt FDA To Heal Patients With Stem Cells

kkleiner writes "For many years countless individuals in the US have had to watch with envy as dogs and horses with joint and bone injuries have been cured with stem cell procedures that the FDA has refused to approve for humans. Now, in an exciting development, Regenerative Sciences Inc. in Colorado has found a way to skirt the FDA and provide these same stem cell treatments to humans. The results have been stunning, allowing many patients to walk or run who have not been able to do so for years. There's no surgery required, just a needle to extract and then re-inject the cells where they are needed. There has always been a lot of hype around stem cells, but this is the real deal. Real humans are getting real treatment that works, and we should all hope that more companies will begin offering this procedure in other states soon."

Nice thing about bypassing the FDA - you don't have to prove safety or efficacy. Just take people's money.

So you're saying that on top of it all, it's a green process? Hurray!

I have a device implanted in my left eye that not only allows me to see, but gives me better than 20/20 vision at all distances. Ther's at least one other cyborg here with a cochlear implant. There are implanted pacemakers, implanted filibrators, implanted joints, all sorts of cybernetic implants. You will be assimilated, resistance is futile.

Your attempt at humor is futile as well. Going for "funny" is dangerous to your karma, unless your karma's alrady excellent.

once I get a girlfriend, I mean.

You could always create one out of your own stem cells. Technically she'd be your twin sister, but God made Eve out of Adam's rib so you can at least cite precedent.
