Fetal Stem Cell Treatment

[Chelsey]

Hi all,

I have been researching possible diabetes cures. ( I no it's not possible at the minute but you can only hope) and I have come across an american website 'www.medra.com' which talks about fetal stem cells that are used to cure many diseases.

I sent an email asking about it and I got a call back from someone within half an hour. The treatment obviously costs but it's something I would definately pay if the treatment is proven to be safe and effective.

I was wondering if anyone had heard of this treatment and if you have any information about it???

We have heard of it but nothing positive as yet. Here is a link to our own Community pages which discusses a little about what is known so far.

How close are we to a widespread stem cell cure for diabetes ?

That all depends on governments and scientists, but recent research has shown major breakthroughs are possible when it comes to treating and curing diabetes with stem cells. Type 1 diabetes is particularly difficult to cure, as the body has attacked and destroyed insulin-producing cells. Before the future can become real, numerous safety issues regarding human stem cells need to be addressed, and a renewable source of human stem cells must be created.
