Adult stem cells help kids with diabetes
Hot off the press! Another study has shown that adult stem cells have as much, or more, potential to help patients with various diseases.
Seven children aged from 2-7 with diabetes were given adult stem cells. The group was matched with 13 who were treated solely by insulin. Results to date show that the therapy helped enhance blood glucose control and management.
Given that some 21 million Americans have diabetes which can lead to severely debilitating or fatal complications, this is really exciting news.
The number of conditions being successfully treated with adult stem cells continues to grow. Regenerative medicine has to be the most exciting thing around. Ask any heart disease or PAD patient and they will tell you that they never dreamed they could return to a more active, energetic and pain-free life. I wonder how long before the FDA will approve adult stem cell therapy as a safe, effective and mainstream procedure!
