Did we find and use up the first one already, and nobody told me? - trollick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Because only athletes use medicine

Biology 101. - DiggsOnlyNeoCon, on 10/12/2007, -18/+28Can we get one thread with no religion bashing?
- quantumHobbit, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12DiggsOnlyNeoCon
No we probably can't. But there will also be Sony and Microsoft bashing without any provocation either. - cgoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Stem cell research *could* cure diabetes by allowing a new pancreas to be grown that wouldn't be rejected by the body (so no need to take immune suppressant drugs for the rest of your life). Stem cell research could theoretically cure anything physical, well worth the $ and time invested.
- Quintios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7That would imply that someone would let you get near their breast.
- Wonkanobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Finally a way to let Barry Bonds to play forever!
- saintpath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I put the stem cells from all the fetuses I had next to a Shakey's, and they ARE replicating a new Shakey's!
- btgoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Just cure my cancer... everything else would be gravy...
- carltonsmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5A whole new Shaky's Pizza!
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Why not? I work with someone who has been operated on both knees, and has received cadaver tendons.
- 1jaxstate1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Not much of a weekend warrior is you know that the risk you take can be patched up Monday morning.
- pinab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Why are we wasting th fountain of youth on pro athletes?
- quantumHobbit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Calls to mind Idiocracy, the monkey with long hair and a boner.
Wouldn't a better use for those research dollars be a cure for diabetes? - hodrige, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It is HGH ... didn't I send you that email?
hurry I have few left at a special price! - myth90045, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kind of reminds me of the movie, The Island, to an extent. first stem cells then who knows what. But hell if it will make my bum knee better, Im all for it!
- JrGhoull, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2man that would be great! i hurt my knees while exercising a couple of years back and they never really got back to normal..something like this could help a great deal!
- ambios, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3absolutely insane. However, as the article states, if it does work, everyone would be having kids up the ying-yang just as an insurance policy.
- Wilpower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1> How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treat Diabetes? Not condemning, just asking.
Better Blood Flow among other things.
There was a TV special about a year ago. A guy with Diabeties was going to have his leg amputated. After Hyperbarics his legged healed up and there was no need for amputation. - Wilpower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I surprised stuff like this still gets press.
From a web page I wrote:
"However there was a recent medical study published on stem cells. They proved that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases stem cell production by 8 times the amount. What I didn't know is your body naturally produces stem cells. They come out of your bone marrow. They are big part of how you heal yourself. It's this natural production of stem cells that gets increased. Not an 80% increase, an 800% increase, eight times the amount. They even went so far as to state Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was the safest and most effective way to get more stems cells. Your body can reject foreign stem cells that are artificially injected, but it loves the ones it produces naturally."

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is available now and already being used by Professional Athletes, but I guess it is old news and doesn't make exciting press.
> Wouldn't a better use for those research dollars be a cure for diabetes?
Hyperbarics is already being used to treat diabetes.
> The next fountain of youth?
Hyperbarics won't make you any younger, but it will allow you to heal like a much younger person. Healing the aches and pains of age could allow you to be more active. Being more active could allow you to live longer. - Moosington, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treat Diabetes? Not condemning, just asking.
- dracflamloc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I really need this for my rotator cuff and shoulder for my right arm.
- thanksgiving, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i saw this on a south park episode once
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I thought HGH was the fountain of youth
- moft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0exactly - i couldn't care less about some athlete's career.
- Moosington, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Because pro athletes have mouths to feed, seemed obvious to me.
- Wootery, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@op
I trust you've forgotten who it is babies normally breastfeed from... - jmajcan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They don't use artificial tendons, they repair the tears or replace them with ligaments from somewhere else in the body.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_John_surgery - mistarojaz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3was anyone else immediately reminded of christopher reeves?
(southpark) - cleverhanz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Just wait till those money grubbing sh*%-co&#s at Sony, or Microsoft, get their hands on this. I hate those jerkfaces so much.
- kaiser44, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2why don't we just eat children?I heard if you prepare them in the right way, they taste just like chicken.
signed, Idi Amin, American express card holder and cannibal. - marf1025, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This shows why we need to support the Mprize (www.mpirze.org) You can donate to the mprize (its up to 8 million, one of the paypal founders recently donated 3.5 million ot it (its tax deductable in the US). The mprize is the prize (for researchers) who can slow down and then reverse aging in mice, then humans) The computer revolution have gene us cheap, powerfull computing capacity that has allowed the invnention of gene echips, cheap dna sequencing, computer modelling of biological processes and the future development of nanotech (nanobots) that will be able to diagnose and repair the damage in your cells that occures with the aging process. Hopefully, in 10 years we will be able to reverse aging in mice and then to do that in humans, because if you can develop an understanting of all the processes of cellular function (down to the level of all the molecules in the cell), then you can develop nanobot tools to go in and, say cut out that deffective molecular component, replace and/or rebuild it. Once you can do this, then you could take an old person and make them young again, and young people would never get old. Aubre de Gray (the founder of the mprize, estimates it would cost 100 million to 1 billion to develop the tech required to reverse aging, he has identified 7 processes of aging that could be controlled to reduce aging to give us enough time to be around when the nanotech arrives to be able to do the job properlly.

These sites provide news into the latest longevity research news, did you know that the university of edmonton is holding a second conference on aging (edmonton aging symposium, repairing the damage)and is featuring aging researchers from the aus and all over the world. http://www.edmontonagingsymposium.com/
We spend (all countries world-wide) about 3 billion dollars per day on the war machine, and yet our exisitng medical tech will seem like the dark ages when nano really gets ging in about 10 to 20 years, just think of all the costs of just not having a proper cure from alzheimers, that easilly exceeds billions/year world-wide, if you had a cure, that problem and money drain would go away. The baby boomer generation is the first in history that really does not like accepting aging and acutally has science and tech on its side to ba able to revese aging, so what is holding us back? - Moosington, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Gotcha, so more of a help with regards to complications from Diabetes.
- eyager, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Can I take on attributes of an infant if I get this procedure done?
Mainly breast feeding. - ghandi69, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Why would they do that?? The artificial tendons they are putting in baseball pitchers arms(Tommy John) are better than natural ones anyway.
But yeah.. that would be great if it works. - erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4So athletes can now justify eating babies? Disgusting...
- Earlofnecromium, on 10/12/2007, -25/+2This is just gonna lead to genetic material harvesting. You'd need like 200 umbilical cords to make a tendon.
- KuntaKinte, on 10/12/2007, -42/+10until religion gets in the way
