I am very curious about this too. My daughter just recently did a paper on stem cell research and it made me wonder if this could be helpful for us.

Stem cell research is still fairly new; hopefully researchers will find many ways to help people with many kinds of physical problems. One of my cousins had multiple myeloma and they "cleansed" some of her stem cells and then returned them to her body; it helped her for several years --- maybe one day soon?
