The possibilities for stem cell treatment for Parkinsons, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, MS, heart failure, ALS, etc., according to scientists, are “breathtaking.”
Because stem cells are the foundation of every cell, organ and tissue in the human body, they will eventually be able to replace or repair damaged tissue, thereby reversing brain and spinal cord injuries and diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and blood diseases.
Although stem cells have been associated with cord blood and with the growing embryo in the media, scientists have found and are now using the millions of “miltipotent” stem cells produced by the adult body itself.
Researchers have reported every major organ in our body to have stem cells available to it, and the proper use and movement of these stem cells will result in a cure for just about everything.
For instance, adult bone marrow produces stem cells that circulate in the blood, and scientists have found stem cells in the adult brain as well as in organs such as the pancreas.
It was Dr. Samuel Weiss, the director of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, who first discovered the existence of stem cells in the adult brain in 1992, disproving the long-held notion that neural development is fixed.
Researchers are now working on how best to activate and stimulate these stem cells for regeneration and for healing in order to replace damaged tissues and organs without creating any new problems such as tumors or cancers.
One aspect of stem cell treatment that is being used successfully by a few physical therapists, but not yet by doctors, is the fact that the brain has stem cells that can be easily planted into any other part of the body with no disruption to the body process.

Stem cells are definitely the future but like for every new discovery to fine tune, there will be casualities. There will be people with advanced parkinsons, MS who are desperate to try them on themselves ..
There are two kind of stem cells banking .. Private and Public ..
Public banking is the one for general public but very few companies venture into it cause of the profits where as there are lot of companies in private stem cell banking .. they take the cord of the baby and preserve it and charge the parents money for doing so. It will be used in case the baby develops any disease in the future .. and then there is money charged every few years like a 5 year yeaar contract or 10 year ..
Hopefully bigger companies will come into public banking for the common good or as part of CSR as they put it ..
