Ha! With all due respect to the "milestone" accomplishments of Aamstrom:
Over 40 cardiomyopathy patients treated in Thailand by TheraVitae have had stem cells injected directly in their hearts by thoracic surgeon Dr. Kit Arom (co-founder of the famed Minneapolis Heart Institute). Dr. Kit's "milestone was done in May of 2005. He was taught the procedure by his friend, THE world-pioneer of direct- into-the-heart injections of stem cells, Dr. Amit Patel of the University of Pittsburgh Dr. Patel conducted clinical trials on the procedure HE HIMSELF developed, in Uruguay in 2004. His results were mind-boggling. No one has yet been able to match Dr. Kit's results since he and he alone will accept patients with only weeks to live. The lawyer-dominated US medical "system" sends those no-hope patients to a hospice, not to an operating room.
