I hesitate to post this story because there are no names mentioned. The story just mentions an NFL player and doesn't give his name- "NFL Player Avoids Liver Transplant By Stem-Cell Treatment"

Who is it? Is it a current player? A former player? Tom Brady?

Later on, the story mentions the company is headed by a "Stanford law school graduate"- again, no names- he is embarrassed because he didn't pass the bar exam?

Here it is in its entirety:

NFL Player Avoids Liver Transplant By Stem-Cell Treatment

October 6, 2008 -- The treatment according to his US Physician was so successful he will not require the liver transplant he was scheduled for in the near future. The most visibly apparent change has been in his appearance due to a drop in his bilirubin level from 6 to a 2 which is close to normal for person of his build and height. It has returned his skin from yellowish to a normal healthy look. In addition, his meld score has dropped in a short period of time from 20 to below 16 and is quickly heading lower.

The treatment was arranged by Stem Cell Regenco, a Silicon Valley company headed by a Stanford law school graduate that holds exclusive rights to the Russian stem cell treatment protocol of Dr. GT. Sukhikh one of the world's foremost stem cell physcians. The treatment is in lieu of a liver transplant and eliminates the danger of a liver rejection and the necessity of taking organ anti-rejection drugs for the rest of a patients life at a cost of $12,000 a year. It is particularly effective in repairing liver damage caused by hepatitis B , C and Cerrosis.

I post this story because it may be of possible benefit to some readers who have a liver condition. I also post it as a lesson on how not to do a press release. As the stem cell treatment industry is rather new, more openness is needed by this company and others. No, I'm not asking for 8 years of clinical trials and double blind studies before a treatment for the liver is used and thus relegating patients in the meantime to a liver transplant or worse.

Imagine if the NFL player (even if he wasn't a star player) had given his permission to use his name as an example to the rest of the world rather than staying anonymous- that my friends, would make this story very much newsworthy rather than raising some questions from yours truly- who already is a believer in adult stem cell treatment.
