Reasons why the use of stem cells must be extended worldwide

The popular opinion that embryos created in a petri dish to harvest his stem cells are far from true. In reality these cells of aborted fetuses are taken or fertilized eggs that are left over from in vitro fertilization. Tissues that would otherwise be discarded, none of which a man could ever be.

They are now the answer to the prayer of patients who would otherwise doomed. Once diagnosed with liver or pancreatic cancer patients who survive a year opportunity with traditional methods is less than 3%, with the right amount of embryonic stem cells in a top ranking facility such as the Beijing Great Wall International Cancer Center, treated the survival above 80% for the first year and still less than 76% after 5 years. Now tell me if this is a valuable and moral undertaking is?

If God has created and show us the key to longevity, mental and physical health than this Holy Grail of the "eternal" Youth sure to find in this technology. Unfortunately, few countries to some developed procedures where the safety of patients is practically guaranteed:

1. There is no known toxic side effects since they ESC treatments in the Beijing Great Wall International Cancer Center in clinical application started in 2003, treating more than 10,000 people.

2. all cells under sterile surgical conditions are processed and only between 15 and 56 days old fertilized eggs are extracted.

3. each set of cells processing takes two months; During this time they are strict genetically tested for infectious diseases, defects and tissue transplantation safety problems in heredity.

4. about the two month about 2/3 of ESC processing of genetic tests prove to be unsuitable for treatments and be deleted.

5. the stem cells frozen at the extremely low temperature of-196 ° Celsius and stored in liquid nitrogen to guarantee their safety and that they do not mutate.

6. the cells gradually restored to normal body temperature before the transplant.

7. the patients receive a full range of diagnostic and clinical treatment as well as ongoing medical follow-up after treatment.

8. stem cell transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure whereby only small intervention in the patient's body.

9. Unlike adult stem cells, embryonic cells that use them may not be rejected by the patient due to potential incompatibility.

Unfortunately the treatment in China is still quite expensive and not covered by health care providers. Wouldn't it be great if instead of treatment of diseases we would maintain health and youth by stem cells available to the general public? How would you as always to look and feel like 80 years old and 35?

The Beijing Great Wall International Cancer Center now has an English language portal called StemCell China, http://stemcell.cn.com/and here is a list of diseases that are now treated with embryonic stem cells there: http://stemcell.cn.com/36_diseases.html

Polycystic Kidney Disease and Haemodialysis

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

I have PKD, Polycystic Kidney Disease, and in May of 2008 I started on Haemodialysis. In 2006 I was referred to Dr. Samuel Schorr, a Nephrologist here in Calgary where I currently live. Early in 2008 Dr. Schorr had ordered a shunt to be surgically created in my left forearm, the surgeon was Dr Yilmaz; he was my transplant surgeon as well. An artery was grafted to a vein and an access was created to accommodate the needles for haemodialysis, the increased blood flow made the vein expand in diameter.

I went to the Foothills Hospital Unit 27, the haemodialysis unit, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday afternoon, for a 4 hour 'run' each time. I was working full time, this schedule allowed me to keep working and go for treatment. I would be connected to the machine with 2 needles in my access, over the 4 hours my blood would go through the artificial kidney (filter) about 10 times. I could not move my left arm and do nothing but watch TV or listen to music during treatment. The treatment was a bit of a shock to the body; there is a lot of fluid transfer, but the elimination of the build up of toxins in the body felt great, more vim and vigour! A big downside was that I could do nothing to help; I had trained professionals trying very hard not to hurt me while they inserted these huge needles into my access. The diet and fluids were rather restricted, you must maintain a close watch on your drug interaction, treatment is cyclic in nature, and you didn't feel that good when you went back in for treatment due to the build up of toxins, time to scrub the blood and feel good again.

I was able to travel and get treatment while on vacation. My youngest step-son was graduating from Diamond Jenness High School in Hay River, NWT, and I had a 'run' in the new dialysis unit at H.H. Williams Hospital, operated by my old friend Roger. We had a good visit while I had my blood cleaned, enjoyed the graduation, almost got kicked out of my campsite! I then drove to Penticton, BC, to visit my mother, and went for two 'runs' while there. I did have to fax ahead and reserve space, and was lucky to get into Penticton on rather short notice, 6 weeks!

I was on this treatment for about 4 months, I was then on Peritoneal Dialysis for about 10 months, I then had a successful Kidney Transplant, the donor was my mother.

My name is Will Lake, I kive in Calgary, Alberta. I am divorced with three grown sons, and I inherited a chronic condition from my father, Polycystic Kidney Disease. I had a kidney transplant in 2009, the donor was my mother.
