Stems...

This article talks about using stem cells to fight HIV.  The article goes into much more detail.  The matter is simple.  Instead of adding drugs that can harm the body or taking things out of it, this approach is based on strengthening the person & their immunity.

At one point this may have been seen as a novel approach to medicine.   However, I think it's the way of the future.  With all the issues pharmaceuticals have brought us, it seems the next phase of medical treatment may very well depend  more on increasing the body's own ability to defend & heal itself.

I understand that this may be a ways off, but there has to be better ways to provide healthcare  than just drug therapies alone.  Especially when some meds can produce extreme conditions like toxicity, addiction or even death.  Say what you want about stem cells, but I'm all for them.

Cya...
