Stem cells 'able to reverse symtoms of multiple sclerosis'
The preliminary findings add to the growing evidence that stem cells could be used to treat the crippling neurological disease, which affects about 85,000 people in Britain.

Some have been left free from seizures and better able to walk after the treatment.

Stem cells is the "wonder cure" of the future that the bush administration held back from America so the drug corporations could make money selling us drugs that don't cure but keep us drug addicted to their drugs.

2. My neighbor, a lady, died with MS.
Notice that I said she had MS, not that she died FROM MS. She died from the drugs used to treat MS. The doctors, hospitals and drug companies made a lot of money. The losers were you and I who had to pay a higher insurance premium. She died a horrible death from the side effects of the drugs. Can you believer her husband voted for Bush?

6. Encouraging findings. Here's rooting for more, not less, research.
The climate for science is loads better under President Obama than it ever was under his predecessor.

There will be sqauwking fundies over stem cell funding/research. Let 'em squawk.
