Cant have companies actually fixing medical issues and reducing dependence on pharma..

Granted, I havent researched this story, but sounds suspicious.

As a result, both patients were given only "half" the intended dose

How do you give someone half of a stem cell treatment? Are these cells not intended to replicate in the body indefinitely?

It sounds like the actual treatment is not what it seems. Like they are insinuating that this is utilizing gene therapy or implanting a new line of cells into the patient, when it is just another traditional medication administered by having some temporary cells injected into the body where they produce the medicine until they die.

That would be just adding complexity with no real innovation .

That's not how stem cells work.

Maybe the most elite of the elites want to keep this and other life extension schemes for themselves. Kissinger is almost a hundred.

Honestly the way they are so intent on making everything a hell on earth, living forever would be a fitting punishment.

The clickbait title makes this sound like something alarming, but the FDA simply said it hadn't established that the full does is safe yet, as it had previously only it trials with smaller doses.

Why would the manufacture push for reckless trials like this?
