Super
Stemmys, Doris and the Supercells
is the first ever children’s story on stem cells.
A stem
cell named Doris and her stem cell friends must all join forces and work
together to repair an ailing heart and defeat Morbidus the Vile.
100% of the proceeds from sales of
Super Stemmys, Doris and the
Supercells
go to the Repair Stem Cell
Institute (RSCI) to help patients.
RSCI is
the only public service institute in the world dedicated to help patients
connect with the top 2% of the world’s stem cell treatment centers.
Patients looking to shed the debilitating symptoms of once-untreatable diseases
no longer have to wait.
THE HEALTH CARE BILL IS ONLY
ABOUT PROTECTING PROFITS
The
Health Care Deceit,
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
“The
current health care “debate” shows how far gone
representative government is in the United States. Members of Congress
represent the powerful interest groups that fill their campaign coffers, not
the people who vote for them.
The health care bill
is not about health care. It is about protecting and increasing
the profits of the insurance companies. The main feature of the
health care bill is the “individual mandate,” which requires everyone
in America to buy health insurance.
Senate Finance
Committee chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont), a recipient of millions in
contributions over his career from the insurance industry, proposes to impose
up to a $3,800 fine on Americans who fail to purchase health insurance.
The determination of
“our” elected representatives to serve the insurance industry is so
compelling that Congress is incapable of recognizing the absurdity of these
proposals.
The reason there is a
health care crisis in the US is that the cumulative loss of jobs
and benefits has swollen the uninsured to approximately 50 million
Americans. They cannot afford health insurance any more than employers
can afford to provide it.
It is absurd to
mandate that people purchase what they cannot afford and to fine them for
failing to do so. A person who cannot pay a health insurance premium
cannot pay the fine.”

WHAT IS THE HEALTH CARE BILL REALITY?
Since 2004, Don
Margolis has been screaming that embryonic stem cells don’t work, can’t work
and won’t generate human therapies for decades. Further, he asserted that the media’s
propaganda-like coverage of embryonic stem cell research and its ignoring of
both RSC research and endless pro-patient RSC victories was because big
medicine and the fully-controlled press in the developed world are one and
the same, and the endless lies are to protect big medicine’s profits from the
threat of RSCs.
The result of this
misdirection was the religious right rising up against embryonic stem cell
research, while the…scientific left blindly backed it. All the while, big medicine laughed at this
debate as RSC victories stayed in the lab and away from patients who are
dying while they pumped out expensive useless drugs that could never compete
with RSC on a level playing field, pulling in $200,000 in profits every
minute of every day of every year.
And now, back to the Health Care debate…
THERE IS NO HEALTH CARE DEBATE!
Like the embryonic stem
cell debate; the health care debate is agenda-prompted misdirection. The health care debate was created by and
is perpetuated by two sides faking a vigorous debate with each other in order
to draw attention away from the fact that BOTH sides are merely supporting
those who pay them so handsomely.
“Hospitals,
insurers and drug manufacturers -- salivating at the prospect of up to 50
million newly insured customers -- have lobbied ferociously for the federal
provision.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/21/AR2009072103410.html
Congress has moved on from
aggressively backing the agenda of their pharma supporters for their
unconditional financial support to aggressively backing the agenda of their
insurance friends for unconditional financial support. The more things change, the more they stay
the same.
BTW, IS THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE
CONSTITUTIONAL?
“…the “individual
mandate,” which would require every American to have health insurance, if
not through an employer then by individual purchase. This requirement would
particularly affect young adults, who often choose to save the expense and go
without coverage. Without the young to subsidize the old, a comprehensive
national health system will not work.
But can Congress require every American to buy health
insurance? In short, no.
The Constitution
assigns only limited, enumerated powers to Congress and none, including the
power to regulate interstate commerce or to impose taxes, would support a
federal mandate requiring anyone who is otherwise without health insurance to
buy it.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/21/AR2009082103033_pf.html
BTW, WHAT ARE THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE
NUMBERS?
“If a
bill requiring the mandate passes through Congress, it’s a good bet that
millions of the uninsured would still be uninsured. Even paying $3,800, the
highest penalty called for under the Baucus bill, a family whose income is
$66,150—three times the federal poverty level—might find it cheaper than
paying the premium. The average family premium is now over $13,000.” http://www.cjr.org/campaign_desk/examining_the_individual_manda.php
50
million multiplied by $3,800 = $190 TRILLION…so the American taxpayer bails
out the insurance companies or they bail out the government. Either way, the taxpayer loses. Worse, the patients will get less benefit
while $200,000 per minute will go to the profiteers and more and more will
suffer and die unnecessarily.
MARGOLIS, MEDISTEM & A
FAMILIAR MANTRA
As many
of you know, 18 months ago we founded the Repair Stem Cell Institute (RSCI)
to help sick patients locked into what we call the “American Death Row”
medical system, to find help for 100 diseases their doctors cannot help them
with.
We
started with six of the world’s top stem cell centers, all led by top
researchers who want to help people now rather than wait 15+ years as the
powerful entities controlling American medicine have decreed is the fate of
its citizens.
We added
a few centers since then, always insisting they meet our high standards. No
one who wants to help people now has standards that are as rigorous as
those upheld by RSCI. http://repairstemcells.org/Treatment/RSCI-Standards.aspx
Three
additional stem cell centers were added to RSCI’s list in 2009; all of them
leaders in their Repair Stem Cell niche.
We will focus on one of them here:
MediStem, San Diego - a world-leader in the development of new cutting
edge stem cells and probably the first to use them to help patients in the
real world. CEO Thomas Ichim’s
qualifications alone almost over-qualified MediStem for inclusion in the
extremely selective RSCI “Best of the Best” category. Dr. Ichim is a renowned cancer specialist
and stem cell genius. His dream is to
create a cancer “vaccine” powered by stem cells that can bypass the problems
still stalling the progress of most researchers. While striving to fulfill his dream, he
also managed to find the time to lead MediStem to using the most advanced
RSCs in practical use today.
What makes Medistem RSC’s the most
advanced RSC’s?
- Many stem cell centers use
“old fashioned” bone marrow RSCs directly without improving them.
- Others implant the more
powerful umbilical cord RSCs (China gets good results using six implants
in 30 days).
- Israel’s famous Dr. Shimon
Slavin goes to great lengths (60 days) to culture a tiny amount of the
patient’s bone marrow mesenchymal RSCs
(MSCs) into tens of millions for a single implant.
- Dr. Ichim, an admirer of
Prof. Slavin, has dared to go a step further. RSCI’s Science Advisory Board Chairman Dr. Vina and Deputy Chairman Dr. Slavin agree mesenchymal RSCs hold
more promise than the more common CD34s in therapeutic
applications. Dr. Ichim and
MediStem took a giant leap to the next generation, bypassing the
expensive long-term culturing process of the patient’s own bone marrow
cells in favor of even stronger mesenchymals.
Here’s
how it works:
- Medistem pays young
(20-something) volunteers to donate their bone marrow derived Repair
Stem Cells. These are the best
age for strong, healthy stem cells to start the therapeutic protocol
with.
- Medistem then eliminates any
potential for disease, spins out the mesenchymals and grow them into
massive numbers in a very short time with patented IP.
- The biggest challenge to
overcome for all facilities is to eliminate any chance of rejection of
the donor’s DNA by the patient’s immune system. Medistem has patented a method to do
this.
- The final product, many
batches at a time, is cryo-frozen and shipped to the treatment center
for storage.
- This product is available for
any patient too young, too old, too weak or too sick to use his/her own
stem cells. The patient gets the
benefit of what promises to be the best of the best stem cells.
Will this prove to be the
best protocol ever? Of course
not. Just as "Moore's Law"
came to represent accelerating computing power and the "Carlson
Curve" has come to represent the accelerating advancement of general
biotechnology; RSC science must be viewed with the understanding that every
great RSC breakthrough is typically replaced by a new breakthrough in less
than two years.
The acceleration is due
to new discoveries, improved technology and improved techniques. For years, we have heard this rate of
discovery referred to “ad naseum” from the founder of RSCI, Don Margolis. Likewise for years, the rate of RSC science
discovery has proven his assessment correct over and over again. Perhaps we should call this rate of
advancement the Margolis Mantra: “Repair Stem Cells almost always
work, so virtually everything that is developed has the potential to be an
improvement. Today’s RSC miracle will
be obsolete in two years, just as today’s computers will be laughed at as
“your grandpa’s machine” by teenagers in 2012.”
But for
now, in 2009 and through 2010, I doubt any facility will generate a better
product so strong and clean and with such massive numbers as Medistem’s…a
product made from the same mesenchymal RSCs that so many top stem cell
doctors agree “hold more promise than the more common CD34s in therapeutic
applications.”
By 2011,
history and the Margolis Mantra decree that this new miracle process
may be all but obsolete. We asked Dr.
Ichim what he would do if that came to pass.
He replied simply: “We are not going to be standing still
either.”
THAT you
can bet on!
 Now there
are three Americans who are wise to Geron’s hoax;
Don Margolis, Dr. David Prentice, and now Adam Feuerstein.
GERON FAILS TO DELIVER…AGAIN
By Adam
Feuerstein of TheStreet.com
“I was
wondering what your reaction is (if any) to the FDA's hold on Geron's (GERN Quote) spinal cord therapy. I own some, and not
sure how to take the news.” was
asked of Mt Feuerstein. His reply
follows:
“The
first thing I did after reading Tuesday's announcement was laugh because the
delays and missteps in Geron's over-hyped embryonic stem cell trial for
severe spinal cord injuries are pretty much working out the way I thought
they would.
Ever notice how Geron does a great job of heralding
the prospect of scientific achievements and breakthroughs, yet never seems to
actually deliver on its promises?
In
this case, Geron promised to enroll the first paralyzed patients into its
stem cell trial during this summer.”
That announcement was made in January. Yet August is rolling toward a hot and
humid finish here in the Northeast, and the study is nowhere close to
starting.
Last
month, the company told investors that car airbags were partly to blame
for the delay. (Airbags protect drivers and passengers in accidents,
making it hard to find traffic accident victims with paralysis severe enough
to be eligible for the clinical trial, or so Geron CEO Tom Okarma said on his
company's quarterly conference call.)”

Btw, no
one was as outspoken and adamant and early to define this fiasco as Don
Margolis, founder of the Repair Stem Cell Institute, who writes:
THE RUSS KLEVE SUCCESS STORY
RSCI
would like to introduce Russ Kleve, a Repair stem cell success story.
“I am
48 years-old, and was born with FSH (FacsioScapulaHumeral) Muscular Dystrophy.
I traveled to Hangzhou, China between March 15-April 21, 2009 for Umbilical
cord stem cell treatment. This blog documents my trip, and provides updates
regarding my progress.”
http://russkleve.blogspot.com/
June 10, 2009 - Physical therapy treatments
are going very well. Focusing on my hips, glutes and stretching. I fall less
often and walking is easier. I will do standing and walking videos later this
week.
June 29, 2009 - Walking without falling. (I
used to) fall 1-2 times a week, even while wearing my AFO's.
The ability to workout has been a vast improvement. For 8 years prior
to stem cell treatment, I never exercised, thinking 'why bother, the muscle
is dead so what's the use'? Now I feel that my work is actually beginning to
pay off.
5 Month Post-Treatment Update
(Sept. 22, 2009)
- BIG CHANGES! - Just curious whether exercising my brains out for
the past five months has done anything. Man, was I surprised! …I have gained
back 3.25" of muscle mass in each leg!

STEM CELLS FOR AUTISM – An Open Letter to President Obama (Edited for content)
June 8, 2009 — The mother of a Bayport, New York girl
reaches out to President Obama to make stem cell therapy available in America
after her daughter’s successful treatment in January 2009. For Judy DiCorcia, it took a leap of faith
to take her 10-year-old daughter, Lauren, for stem cell therapy. Just six
short weeks after returning home and observing her daughter’s progress, she
knew that her faith had been rewarded, prompting her to bring her daughter’s
story to the attention of President Obama. Here is what she wrote to him:
Dear
President Obama,
I am
the mother of a 10-year-old autistic daughter. In January, we took Lauren for
Adult Stem Cell therapy. The center used her own stem cells drawn from her
hip bone marrow, centrifuged the next day, and then reinserted via lumbar
puncture the following day (2.95 million cells). Both procedures were quick
and not invasive at all. In the past 6 weeks we have seen significant
improvements in our daughter’s behaviors, focus, hyperactivity, and insomnia.
I would rate a general improvement of about 40% – this is HUGE for a family
living with autism.
Our
daughter started sleeping through the night for the first time (yes, she is
10 and got up every night) since stem cells. Lauren is happier just in her
own skin – so much less frustrated and just generally happier. She is getting
through her one-on-one therapy more quickly, better focused, and more
compliant. Of course, it amazes me that this simple, non-controversial
therapy cannot be done here in the United States.
Sincerely,
Judy DiCorcia
Now, more
than five months since her treatment, Mrs. DiCorcia reports: “Lauren is
doing well. I would have to say that she ‘plateaued’ at about the 12-week
mark. Her situation is stable and fortunately all positive effects have persisted.
I wish the doctor could fly to the US and perform the therapy here!”
RSCI’s
autism treatment centers employ many different kinds of RSCs. The procedures (including travel, stem cell
collection, processing and therapy) cost around $17,000 US dollars for the
simplest treatment, and up to $35,000 for more thorough therapies. Over 1000
patients have been treated via lumbar puncture with no major
complications.

best centers for autism and Don’s personal guidance on how to choose and
