Stem cell

dami klase stem cell therapy depende kung saan galing ang stem cell (meron pa nga galing sa sheep, aborted fetus etc)

baka yung mga politician na yan na-injectionan ng cells na sobra foreign kaya nagreact sobra ang katawan at namatay

mas safe kung galing sa sarili mo katawan ang stem cell (harvested from bone marrow, adipose, blood)

yes, i heard on radio 2 yan, either yung stem cell eh galing sa sarili mong katawan, or galing sa hayop which is cheaper daw.

ang alam ko kung galing sa iba yung stem cell eh ire-reject yan ng katawan (foreign bodies).

from what i understand, stem cell eh cell ng katawan na nagre-regenerate, they will harvest it from your body and regenerate body parts na defective sa yo tapos ikakabit sa yo. ngayon di ko alam yung mga galing sa hayop, ano ireregenerate dun?

iba yung growing organs in the lab

current commercially available stem cell treatments (local or abroad) dont grow organs in the lab

stem cells are injected into you

the stem cells should wake up dormant cells in your body -- to repair or regenerate tissues or organs

it's to heal existing tissues or organs

pero sa future they should be able to grow a liver or kidney from your own stem cells so you don't need to find a donor pag kailangan mo ng transplant. wala pa risk of rejection

Maraming claims about stem cell treatment na ginagamot ang kung anu-anong karamdaman. Maliban sa dermatologic applications ng stem cell therapy, halos lahat nasa experimental stage pa lang. Meron pa nga publicized case ng isang bata na nagkaroon ng brain tumor dahil sa stem cell treatment

Sigh... they really wanna live longer eh. Sad indeed. Perhaps it's because they know where they're going when they kick the bucket?

Dapat may batas, all politicians and their family should be treated only at government hospitals and attend public schools. Tignan natin kung hindi kikilos yung gma yan para ma-improve ang health and education sectors natin.

it's highly possible nga nakaka-cancer ang stem cell therapy

stem cells stimulate cell growth

it can also stimulate growth of cancer cells

MANILA - House Speaker Sonny Belmonte said 2 congressmen died after having stem cell therapy overseas.

These are congressmen Erico Aumentado and Pedro Romualdo.

Belmonte, however, clarified that it has not been established whether stem cell therapy was the cause of death.

Belmonte said that after having stem cell therapy, the 2 felt rejuvenated and may have exerted themselves during the last election campaign.

Belmonte said Aumentado even started walking around without a cane.

Aumentado' son Aristotle, a first-term congressman, was introduced by Belmonte to media during the sidelines of the executive course the lower House sponsored for neophytes.

Aristotle said his father died of pneumonia. He added there is also no proof that stem cell caused the death.

In fact, he said they were scheduled for another treatment after the elections had his father not died.

Aristotle said the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) has not approached them for the PMA's investigation into the deaths of 3 politicians who died after receiving stem cell therapy abroad.

Aristotle explained that his father had leg thrombosis for which he had to undergo bifemoral bypass and stem cell therapy .

After stem cell therapy, his father started walking without a cane, and sometimes had low-blood sugar. However, he said they forgot to get him stem cell treatment for his father's pneumonia, which he had before the stem cell treatment in Germany last September.

Aristotle said they have no regrets about the therapy, and he doesn't see the need for a PMA investigation. They have no complaints, but he doesn't want to comment on the PMA's statements.

The PMA earlier said it is investigating the deaths of 3 politicians who died allegedly after undergoing stem cell treatment in Germany.

While the association refused to divulge identities of the politicians, PMA president Dr. Leo Olarte said the three held notable posts in the country.

"Sila ay nabigyan ng mga stem cell na galing sa tupa, rabbit at mga embryonic stem cell at mga stem cell na galing din sa aborted na mga bata o fetuses. Nagkaroon sila ng kumplikasyon pagbalik dito,” he said.

He added: "Nagkaroon sila ng late hypersensitivity graft-host reaction. Dito na sila sa Pilipinas namatay."

Olarte said they already approached the families of the victims to get more details but some of them refused to cooperate causing a little delay in the investigation.

Saying that stem cells harvested from animals are dangerous, the PMA urged Filipinos not to go abroad for this kind of stem cell therapy treatment.
