One more amazing technology taking place in Texas to where laser surgery is done as a minimally invasive procedure and then follow up with stem cell treatment or just the stem cells alone for pain management. This is the first I have heard for disc therapy as we are probably well aware of the spinal...
This is fascinating with a very tiny biopsy taken from a patient’s good eye and involves less risk. So far this is working with patients who have lost sight in one eye and it is being restored in the other eye. They are hoping to advance the procedure to where it can take care of 2 injured...

This is amazing therapy that can have the potential of taking the heart to levels of being near asymptomatic. Last week I posted about Oprah and Dr. Oz visiting a lab in Wake Forest where they are growing organs. If you have not see the video, it is well worth a look. The Oprah Show...
