Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Hilario, That story is true to an extent. There were several done from what I heard and only one helped the man who was still making TV news a year or so ago. I will try to find the website for you. HOWEVER, it was found that the pig cells carried animal viruses with them and there was fear that they could harm humans. The company that was supplying the cells decided after studies that it was too risky and removed them from the market. To my knowledge, no one is doing this operation any more. I just found the site at: http://www.geocities.com/jimcfinn/diary/index.html The odds are so bad, that I would not have had it done on Charlotte, even if it was still available.

She has now resigned to her frailty and accepted her lot in life -abate grudgingly.We are thankful and fortunate to reside on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario in Canada.The services by way of assistance that we have thus far received, have been excellent. was watching the Oprah Winfrew show on Friday 14 December,2001 entitled "Miracles...?" One of the participants was a Parkinson patient, who claimed that with treatment of fetal cells from pig embryo "dopamine cells" under the care of Dr. Shumaker, the patient was able to walk and speak, actions he was unable to perform, prior to treatment.What does the group think, is there something to that? Can we pursue it !
