Stem-cell injections may help heart attack victims

Stem-cell trial for heart attack victims - Independent

Extract:

"Heart attack victims are to be injected with stem cells from their own bone marrow in a groundbreaking trial which could improve patient survival rates.

Doctors hope the injections will repair cell scarring caused during heart attacks, giving patients an improved quality of life.

Britain has one of the worst heart attack rates in the world, with someone having a heart attack every two minutes. Heart attacks are responsible for one in four deaths in men and one in six deaths in women.

During a heart attack, cells in part of the heart die, leaving areas of scarring. The scarred areas are less effective at pumping blood, which can lead to patients suffering heart failure."

The best way to protect yourself from having a heart attack is to avoid eating salt and salty food. This would benefit your health in many other ways too. See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html

Stem cell treatment has helped liver cancer patients in Germany.

Stem cell treatment saves liver cancer patients - Telegraph

Extract:

"Patients treated for advanced liver cancer have grown new liver cells after being injected with stem cells taken from their hips.

Six out of eight patients are still alive two years later with fully functioning livers. The treatment, given in Germany, brings hope for liver patients.

Surgeons at the University of Dusseldorf took bone marrow stem cells from the hips of patients with advanced liver cancer and injected then into the healthy parts of the liver. "
