I;d have to be pretty darn desperate to try these "cures". The article does not say how many people did not survive these treatments or had acute problems after the procedure. I have a feeling that the number is not inconsequential. I am afraid that the use of stem cells is very far in the future. Until we can unlock the genes of these cells and get them to reliably do what we want them to, these cures will be "snake oil" and nothing more.
