Richard Humphries, an Alexandria native from Fort Worth, Texas, has plans to play in the 2009 Deep South Four Ball golf tournament, despite suffering from secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.
My MS Pain is Gone!

Richard Humphries has plans to play in the 2009 Deep South Four Ball golf tournament.  Seventeen months ago, Humphries, a 54-year-old Alexandria native who lives in Fort Worth, Texas, was bedridden and suffering from excruciating pain with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

“Very few people know this,” he said, “but I prayed to die every day and night, for the pain was off the charts.”…

…”The night after the second injection, I started to feel better and the fog had lifted. The time was midnight, and I had not been able to stay up that late in some time. The pain was gone….

…In February, Humphries underwent another experimental stem cell treatment to regrow inner ear nerve hairs. It not only improved his hearing but helped him tolerate heat, which can be a problem for people with MS…

 

MS Nerve Cell

 

“It’s an amazing recovery,” Ichem said (Dr. Tom Ichem of San Diego, a scientist). “I was with him in (Washington) D.C. and spent three days with him, and I was, honestly, bona fide flabbergasted. It’s one thing to read about recoveries like this, but to see it first hand — I hate to say ‘miracle,’ but it was absolutely something very, very stunning. Usually when we develop new treatments, we see results with some impact, but I’ve never seen this kind of stunning impact. It literally shocked me.”

Another adult stem cell miracle!  CONGRATS to Richard + Laura Humphries for having the sight and the gumption to pursue non-conventional treatments!

…but, is it truly a miracle? Let’s see: 

 

mir·a·cle – Pronunciation: ˈmir-i-kəl Function: noun – Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin miraculum, from Latin, a wonder, marvel, from mirari to wonder at – Date: 12th cent.
1 : an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs
2 : an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment

 

Nope. Definitely not a miracle. These kind of success stories of the improvement of so called “incurable diseases” are happening every day, all over the world, with repair stem cells…EXCEPT in the US! 

 

Richard, Laura, thanks for helping to blaze the trail and getting the word out! I wish you continued health and hope your efforts and words inspire many, many people to follow your example! – David Granovsky

 

 

 

“Why isn’t this available in the USA?” Part 1

By Don Margolis

 

A question was recently posed by a friend I’ll call Jim.  Jim asked: “Don, why aren’t adult stem cell treatments available in the USA?”  He then added the additional condition: “Can you answer that question without going into an anti-science, anti FDA diatribe?”

Unfortunately, I could not answer him honestly without “going into an anti-science, anti FDA diatribe.”  And yet, it occurred to me that 84 years ago, Bertrand Russell both prophetically answered his questions AND satisfied his conditions.

“I am compelled to fear that science will be used to promote the power of dominant groups rather than to make men happy.”  -Bertrand Russell, Icarus, or the Future of Science, 1925

 

 

 In 1962, an oral vaccine using attenuated poliovirus, developed by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, was licensed for mass distribution.  Since then, I maintain that Russell’s “dominant groups” have barred any medical-scientific progress that might lead to a cure of all major diseases.

 

All Jim needs to do to prove me wrong is: 

Name one major disease that has been cured by American Medical Science since polio.
