Maybe SOME Good News from the FDA

Safety of Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells Therapy in Patients with Severe Cerebral Palsy: A Retrospective Study - PMC Not funded by any entity in the U.S. A study on the safety of umbilical cord stem cells on Cerebral Palsy patients.

What is the trUTH!?! Can it be found about anything?

ps. I drove past Mylans home office today and thought of you Zep. The plan it sits on is probably responsible for at least 75% of your pants crapping spasms of suspicion about the greed motive. The other 25% is located out in Robinson Twp.

WTF? Why does everybody pull a knife across paper when they are made to be pushed?

Going by all of these paper cutters they should have put the tip in the handle!

What does this explain relative to the discussion?

And your point is?

Something else you’re not allowed to have in the U.S. so you have to travel outside of the country to a country where Big Pharma doesn’t have such a stranglehold on the healthcare system.

And the education just continues.

"The disastrous results were described in detail in the [New England Journal of Medicine], by doctors who were not connected to U.S. Stem Cell and treated the patients within days of the injections. An accompanying article by scientists from the Food and Drug Administration warned that stem cells from fat “are being used in practice on the basis of minimal clinical evidence of safety or efficacy, sometimes with the claims that they constitute revolutionary treatments for various conditions.”

“Promising stem-cell research in eye disease and other conditions is taking place. But researchers and health officials have been warning for years that patients are at risk from hundreds of private clinics that have sprung up around the United States and overseas, offering stem-cell treatments for all manner of ailments, like injured knees, damaged spinal discs, neurological diseases and heart failure. Businesses promising “regenerative medicine” have multiplied, with little or no regulation.”

Propaganda

What’s especially tragic is that the ‘doctors’ injected both eyes (of each victim) at the same visit. A little inside-baseball for you–us eye docs almost never operate on both eyes simultaneously, precisely so as to avoid this sort of outcome. Of course, if one’s primary concern is separating a desperate individual from his/her money, it would be foolish to do one eye at a time–after all, the pt is much less likely to have their second eye injected after the first eye goes blind.

How can anyone sleep at night worrying about small potatoes like the FDA and Big Pharma cover-up when the government is hiding a second sun from us?

Conspiracy!

No one is saying that stem cells are a cure-all. Their handling and administration is paramount to safety. Are their “clinics” inside and outside the U.S. who will take advantage of people’s ignorance? Yes. And it’s absolutely disgusting. Stem cells can help out with certain diseases and this ought to be a choice the public has. But they do not as the FDA is virtually doing what they can to prevent it at the behest of Big Pharma who can make more money off selling their garbage drugs that are usually littered with side effects. All of this doesn’t take away from the good clinics who are actually helping tens of thousands of people tremendously every year. Should that be stopped because of a few doctors who take advantage of the stem cell tidal wave?

Completely one-sided. Did they mention the tens of thousands of people who are being helped by stem cells with no or very few side effects?

How can you be worried about this when there’s a SECOND SUN that NASA is hiding from us??

And this is true for the majority of stem cell clinics?

To equate a criticism of greed to a conspiracy of a second sun just goes to show what a small person you are.

I freakin knew it! I mean, no I didn’t know it like Know it, but I knew it!

And Thats how they get ya. Every freakin time. They make you look crazy, but you aren’t because you freakin know!

Good news from Asterias’ CIRM-funded spinal cord injury trial | The Stem Cellar Should this be kept from the public?

“Talking with the US FDA will likely mean that Asterias will need to show further proof that their stem cell-based therapy actually improves movement in patients, rather than the patients spontaneously regaining movement (which has been observed in patients before). FierceBiotech made this point in a piece they published yesterday on this trial.”

This is why trials are needed. Showing spontaneous improvement in movement in 5 patients is not nearly definitive proof that the treatment is efficacious.

Studies of five people with no control arm are useful for establishing safety. Determining efficacy requires something to compare it against.
