Re:Not Globally Approved (Score 1)

"There is a 7-15 year lag time for new drugs and treatments to get approved by the FDA in the US." After my first heart attack in November, 2004, the Cardiologist said "two months, could be two years."; followed by the admonision to "Put your affairs in order." 7-15 was not an option. The FDA takes that long to repeat the same studies, over and over, in different locations, with different doctors, each one biased to "proving" his pro or con position, through the manipulation of his "findings". Dr. Amit Patel, at the University of Pittsburg, found Adult Stem Cells, injected into infarcted cardiac muscle, generated re-vascularization, restoring cardiac function. (Other trials had shown corrolary results.)Rather than wait for redundant trials, Dr. Patel took his research to Thailand, and the company 'erbuc' is not advertising in his posting. Over 200 people (I was #204, I think)are now experiencing mild to drastic improvement in their lifestyle. For two years, I couldn't climb my basement stairs without fainting. Less than 2 months after receiving MY OWN STEM CELLS, I climb as I please. How many poor schlubs will die over the next 5, 10, 12 years of "beta"? (While we don't get the very latest in treatments, we're not exposed to treatments in the beta stage either.)Tell them "Just hang on, we'll get you fixed-up, eventually." Read my posts down this thread, and see why they may NEVER get the help they need! Kevin
