THIS IS GOOD NEWS. ALTHOUGH I OFTEN READ ABOUT NEW "DISCOVERIES" OR "BREAKTHROUGHS" COMING FROM THE UK, IT ISN'T OFTEN THAT THESE "DISCOVERIES" INVOLVE HELPING ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS USING STEM CELLS. USUALLY, WE WILL READ ABOUT HOW THE RATS IMPROVED SO "THIS DEMONSTRATES THE POTENTIAL OF STEM CELLS" AND "MORE STUDIES NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS CAN BE TESTED IN HUMANS." - SO I WAS VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE UK HAS BEGUN A TRIAL TREATING HEART ATTACK VICTIMS (HUMANS NOT RATS) WITH THEIR OWN ADULT STEM CELLS.
Robin Marston suffered an attack a week ago while packing his car following a trip.He became the second of two patients to take part in a new clinical trial at The Barts and The London Heart Attack Centre, the biggest unit of its kind in the UK.Doctors took stem cells from bone marrow in his lower back. Mr Marston then received either his own stem cells back or a placebo - the trial requires he does not know which - via a catheter in his groin. (A VERY NON INVASIVE PROCEDURE, WHY WE CAN'T BE DOING THIS FOR EVERY HEART ATTACK VICTIM IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION- DM) The aim of the treatment for those receiving the stem cells is to "turn the clock back" for heart attack victims by repairing damaged heart tissue.The trial is the first of its kind in the UK and will involve 100 patients over the next two years. AS I SAID, THIS IS GREAT NEWS.Mr Marston, a 61-year-old bus driver from West Drayton in London, said: "When I got the hospital I was taken straight through and was kept awake the whole time. A surgeon inserted a catheter into my groin."Through this, they inserted two stents into my arteries to keep them open and at the same time I was asked if I wanted to participate in a stem cell research programme."I indicated that I would want to, because not only would I help myself but other people too.

"I feel practically 100% now. I had a tiny bit of pain last night, but nothing since then and I'm feeling fine." WONDERFUL NEWS, I HOPE HE STAYS 100%.CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE
