Stem Cells?

[sutekj]

Does anyone know anything about stem cells? I saw a google ad for this.

It's probably just a money making scheme, but it piqued my interest. Might this be worthwhile?

I've been to a business presentation for this. The product itself, is definitely worthwhile. Whether you can market and distribute it, is up to you.

Sem cells are specific cells that can divide and turn into the cells of any part of your body. (A quick laymans description, don't beat me to a pulp if it isn't perfect.)

Thanks, BrendanD. I guess that closes the case.

Stem Cells themselves are extremely useful. See this, for instance.

The problem is that, what you have there has nothing to do with stem cells. Its quackery and pseudo science attempting to trade off the name of a legitimate phenomena. To benefit from stem cells, you would need a trained physician to either harvest some of yours, like from your umbilical cord at birth, or grow them (research indicates this might be possible from skin cells). Thus, its a one to one treatment, no over the counter remedy.

I agree. And all I've heard about it indicates that it is extremely specialized and very expensive.

I can't see how a product can affect your stem cells. But then again I am no medic. We stored my son's stem cells from his umbilical cord with Cryo-Safe. We paid (I think) around R17k. So say he gets leukemia (God forbid) or something at least he has a safety measure in place.

Reminds me of a certain south park episode
