In the long run you end up spending a lot more for so called "medicine" when you could have spent less to get rid of the shit for good.


Lets take something small like headaches. You can take tylenol, advil or whatever, but that's not a cure. All it does is numb your senses so you can't feel the pain and hopefully by the time the drugs wear off the headache will be gone. If not, you pop another pill and repeat the cycle.
Yngwie, exactly! 100% correct. Here are the figures:

The most expensive cardiac stem cell treatment is around $40k. A triple bypass heart operation is over $100k and my need multiples later on. Can we do the math here? $40k permanent cure vs $100k+ temporary cure.

You can get the cardiac stem cell treatment for as low as $10k in some places and the prices are dropping fast because the procedure is easy to do. Problem is most insurance companies won't cover it. If they did you would end cardiac problems on this planet by maybe 80%. It's cheaper for the insurane companies to do so. Why underwrite $100k when you can do the same for $10-$40k??? That's called SAVING MONEY.

As luck would have it I got off the phone last night with one of California's top insurance agents and underwriters. He's working with me now to petition and underwrite for stem cell treatments. He said the same thing that Ynwie mentioned.

In addition, Yngwie, I went strait to the top and asked the researchers about your medical condition you mentioned. The brightest news so far is that the neural tissue discoveries is the major hurdle people with your affliction were waiting for. Now it's a matter of the researchers tackling that affliction directly and from what I've read already some are because the challenge to solve the logistics to your illness will lead to multiple cures and treatments for other disorders. So there's definitely a bright light at the end of the tunnel thanks to the recent spinal cord recovery successes. It's now a matter of the labs to really pour it on. It may be that the current technology may be easily applied or a combination of techniques. Anyway, it could be a matter of months or short years to handle your condition. Let's keep an eye peeled at the main website and the raw science data sources.

Here's another major breakthrough that happened a few days ago. They just won't stop coming

That story shows how Scottish scientists discovered the secret as to why stem cells do the thing they do and the future of regrowing new organs. Basically a fountain of youth.
