		<description>Dear RETIRED SPOOK:
You are more correct than you suspect!

Brandon Keim,  science reporter for WIRED and an embryonic cheerleader,  pointed out last Spring that GERON had announced, startingin 2004, EIGHT upcoming clinical trials.

I noticed #9 (unless I missed one) on Oct 31 and #10 in Feb. 2008.

MY message is that EVERTHING you hear from embryologist cheeleaders is a lie, especially what they say about the inability of adult stem cells to do much ofanything, despite the fact the 100+ medical considtions that I counted are being successfull treated by ASC.

		<description>The word for stem cells  taken from the patient&#039;s own body, and then reimplanted into that body to do the most good, is AUTOLOGOUS, 
That is why our creator made autologous stem cells in the first place, to help keep THAT ONE PERSON alive and healthy!
 
He has now handed us the keys to the most powerful medicine the world has ever seen, capable TODAY of defeating 20+ &quot;incurable&quot; diseases, and certainly another 20 in the next few years.

Yet researchers have most of the developed world believing mankind must wait years and decades for a science fiction known as &quot;embryonic stem cells&quot; to produce one cure.  Therefore they  tell a gullible world that this ultimate protection doesn&#039;t work, despite weekly proof that it is already clearly defeating EVERY DISEASE which honest researchers choose to attack.  
 
But you can read these two short articles and understand everything. 
 
First, the embryonic press-release miracle of the day, promising a cure that will never come.  For that is all they have;  press-release &quot;promises&quot; for their true-believers and a kept-ignorant public:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3607659.ece
 
Secondly, how autologous adult stem cells have already proven, SCIENTIFICALLY, that the same disease is already doomed to be conquered by the truth, not by press-releases.
http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/852571020057CCF68525741600511A24
 
 I send you this so that you can understand my only mission---to bring the ultimate weapon against disease to those that
are now suffering endlessly without it, suffering and dying merely to enrich the powerful with useless embryonic research dollars.
 
In order to succeed, we must understand that major truths attacking what &quot;everybody knows&quot; is now approaching phase 2: 
1. First, it is ridiculed
2. Second, it is violently opposed
3. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident 

You will know that we have succeeded only when we reach phase 3.

		<description>CHRISTOPHER REEVE AND DR. CARLOS LIMA
 
This story is about two men who never met----but should have.
 
Christopher Reeve was one of my favorite actors.  He created the movie role of Superman and no one will ever surpass his perfect interpretation of the &#039;mild-mannered Clark Kent.&#039;  Years later, Superman suffered the worst accidental injury in the medical lexicon, Spinal Cord Injury, leading to paralysis; and those of us who admired him suffered along with him.  
 
In 2004, when the embryonic science fiction fraud in America kicked off in earnest, Mr. Reeve, like Michael J. Fox, who was suffering from Parkinsonâ€™s, was already a cheerleader, believing the lie they both believed, that George W. Bush was the reason that they both hadn&#039;t been cured yet.  OK, so they were wrong, but so are thousands of others with SCI or with Parkinsonâ€™s, except for one thing: THE RESULT OF MR REEVE&#039;S AND MR. FOX&#039;S PASSIONATE ERROR IS ADDING TO THE TORTURE ALL SUCH PATIENTS IN AMERICA!  
 
&#039;How is that possible?&#039; you ask.   Are you sitting down?  Good.  One sentence:  In order for the embryonic fraud to survive, THE PROFITEERS MUST CREATE LIES, LIES THAT RESULT IN PROPAGANDA FORCED DOWN YOUR THROAT CLAIMING THAT ADULT STEM CELLS CANNOT DO MUCH OF ANYTHING.   
 
They pretend that there are no stem cells other than embryonic, or create science fiction lies that if they do exist, they not worth trying. Every major medical journal, every liberal newspaper, every Democrat, and hundreds of embryonic &#039;researchers&#039; and writers are keeping paralyzed people paralyzed, keeping heart failure patients on that downhill rush to the grave, every Parkinsonâ€™s patient shaking worse and worse, and every stroke victim who is unable to speak, from knowing a better life may be available---IN CHINA   IN IRAN   IN THAILAND  IN INDIA   IN ARGENTINA  IN MEXICO   IN SWITZERLAND   IN THE NETHERLANDS---shall I say it again?  IN IRAN but not in the America of Hillary Clinton.  All that is important to her and all the other Democrats is that they grab some votes by making a phony issue about embryonic stem cells, and spread propaganda SO THAT YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES WILL SUFFER AND THEN DIE WITHOUT DEMANDING TREATMENTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN IRAN.
 
In 2004, two paraplegics testified to Congress about the improved quality of life they gained by going to Portugal to visit Dr. Lima&#039;s tiny clinic to be treated with adult stem cells.  Of course this information was kept from Mr. Reeve, or perhaps he was lied to by those who expect to profit from the billions they are about to rip off from you for embryonic cures that will never come.  In any event, had he gone to Dr. Lima he might have improved his health enough to survive his condition and get a full series of ASC implants which could, by now, have him walking with the aid of walkers as some other are doing.  But he gave, and Mr. Fox is giving, his life for something whose ONLY purpose is MONEY and is not about cures, and, by necessity, needs to hide what Lima and hundreds of other doctors are doing FOR REAL PEOPLE with ASC.</description>

		<description>AJ, plenty more of this at Michael Fumento&#039;s site.  

http://www.fumento.com/sustemcell.html

His pieces themselves are informative but Fumento also links to all the original scientific articles and studies whenever possible.</description>

		<description>AJ, I think &quot;snakeoil BS&quot; is an appropriate description.  I&#039;ve been following Geron&#039;s ESCR since I read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/news/2006/03/70521&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; a year ago.  They said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Tom Okarma: We will complete our IND-enabling studies, which are now in process and still on track, and file our IND during the fourth quarter of this year, assuming the preclinical data continue to go well. That starts a 30-day review clock by the FDA, who then has 30 days to either accept our IND and allow us to proceed or, at that point, they have questions that we must answer before we can begin. We are on track for that. So, assuming they bless the IND, &lt;b&gt;we would hope to be in the clinic in the first quarter of (2007).&lt;/b&gt; (emphasis - mine)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=78852&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Update - 3/16/07&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The keynote speaker for Day Two of the Stem Cell Meeting was Tom Okarma, President and CEO of Geron Corporation. His company is notable for the SCI community because they are set to begin, in the 4th quarter of 2007, the first human clinical trial using embryonic stem cells to regenerate nerve axons.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I suspect they&#039;re running into some problems.  Stay tuned.</description>
