Green Lantern Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 See a General Surgeon.Try Saint Martin in SanJuan, it is a charity hospital. Make sure that your GF is in the mid cycle of her period when she has the check up. Quote Link to comment
jo6789 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Jo6789, no faults here. We are all just trying to help diba.Wow, you have a great job, you work directly with the people who are in need of help, you must be a sympathetic and caring person. I saw an Ad on Fox, they were advertising storage of cord blood from newborns, the thing about this is that you would have to suspect that your child will have some need for his/her cord blood in the future. hi Mr. Green lantern, yes they are storing now the cord blood using liquid nitrogen at below 0...but this can be use not only by the child itself but can be used by anyone who is in need of stem cell transplant but unfortunately only pediatrics cases can avail of such transplant kunti lang kasi ang nahaharvest nating blood sa isang cord approximately 100 cc...wala pa kaming case na adult ang nag benefit ng cord stem cell tansplant... We are using the cord blood stem cell transplant because it is less prone to rejection ung mga cell kasi ay primative pa or "naive"...they lacks well develop immune cells so less chance that they will attack the recipients body ( GVHD ). magandang pakinggan ang stem cell transplant but on my personal opinion marami pa ding studies na dapat i conduct regarding this technology...

ej_qn Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It's hard if people are uneducated about this matter.Generally, they think that stem cell research is like playing God.What they fail to realize is that, the benefits of stem cell won't make you immortalIt'll just give you a better life, not an everlasting one. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment
