Adult Stem Cells–Best-Kept Secret, Treating Chronic Heart Failure
by David Prentice
September 28, 2010
As noted before, Dr. Jean Peduzzi Nelson testified at the U.S. Senate hearing on the promise of stem cells, Sept. 16, 2010. Her testimony discussed published adult stem cell science and real results for patients; as she noted, adult stem cells are “the best-kept secret in the galaxy.”
Adult stem cells have shown published success is treatment of chronic (congestive) heart failure. In her testimony, Dr. Peduzzi Nelson discussed the case of Doug Rice. Doug was told that he had only a short time to live due to chronic heart failure after multiple heart attacks. At that time he could hardly walk. He did not qualify for any U.S. clinical trials, so he went to Thailand in early 2006 to be treated with his own adult stem cells (using a technique developed in the U.S. by Dr. Amit Patel.) Since his treatment, Doug’s heart has improved and pumps better, he has more energy and is enjoying life. He surprised even his cardiologist.
Doug Rice is not an isolated case. Recently a German team led by Prof. Dr. med. Bodo Strauer published the results of a long-term study treating a large number of chronic heart failure patients with adult stem cells. The study, published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, is the largest study to date of patients treated for heart failure with bone marrow adult stem cells. A total of 191 patients received intracoronary injections of their own bone marrow adult stem cells, compared with 200 patients who received standard care, and patient health was monitored for up to five years. The results showed that treatment with adult stem cells improves heart function based on a large number of tests, quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure.
Prof. Dr. med. Strauer presented the published evidence at a recent meeting of the European Society of Cardiology. He noted that:
“Our study suggests that, when administered as an alternative or in addition to conventional therapy, bone marrow cell therapy can improve quality of life, increase ventricular performance, and increase survival. Intracoronary therapy has been shown to be effective in acute myocardial infarction, and the STAR-heart study now indicates its efficacy in chronic heart failure.”
Adult stem cells are improving health and saving lives now.

Romans 13:1-7 reads Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exixt are extablished by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. for rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who pracices evil. IT IS EVIL TO MURDER AN UNBORN CHILD. ANYONE WHO CLAIMS A POSITION OF AUTHORITY, BUT DOES NOT RECOGNISE ABORTION AS AN EVIL ACT, IS OBVIOUSLY A DELUSIONAL IMPOSTER OF A TRUE AUTHORITY FIGURE. THE BIBLE DEPICTS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AS SOMEONE WHO CORRECTS OUT OF LOVE. BARACK OBAMA IS TIGHT WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD WHO LOVE MONEY AND HAVE LIED AND MURDERED FOR IT. PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM ARE EVIL. 1 Tim. 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil, which, while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith , and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I understand now why God allowed an attack on the twin towers in New York to occur. I have known Since Sept. 15 2007 that God allowed those attacks to happen because of the abortions that have taken place in this country at a rate that actually EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED ON 9/11/2001! Just today, Oct. 15, 2010, i was wondering what the association was between the twin towers and abortion, and now it is clear that God allowed those attacks on this country’s financial structures because of the love of money that has been occurring in this country. I have been praying that it will stop. Our war efforts in the MIddle East are futile as long as abortion continues in this country! http://www.Bound4life.com Pray with me the pray at this site. I am not condoning attacks on this country, i am saying that we have a just God. Jesus, i plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion and send revival to America.
One more thing- i need to add a correction to the last comment; when i said that the number of abortions in the United States of America has exceeded the number of deaths that occurred in New York on 9/11/2001, i forgot to add that the number of abortions that have taken place in the USA every day exceeds the number of people who were killed on 9/11/01! Bound4Life Covenant: PRAY I will pray for abortion to end every time i see the wristband. (Order LIFE wristband for $2.00 at http://www.bound4life.com) VOTE I will vote for candidates who are actively pro-life. OBEY I will obey God as He leads me into works of compassion and justice.

My husband passed away 3 years ago with a final heart attack (11 or so in 9 years). If scientist had put as much effort into adult stem cell research as they have fetus stem cell research, I truly believe my husband would be alive today. He gave so much to the community, his family and his country. I know there are others out there who are a widow as I am as a result of heart failure who would still have the love and companionship of their beloved spouse if adult stem cell research was done.
