Stem Cell Therapies May Be Right Under Our Nose - Vision.org

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:03:07 EDT

In criticizing mega-church pastor Rick Warren's recent televised conversation with Presidential candidates Senators Barak Obama and John McCain, those opposed to the event argued that the fundamental barrier that separates church and state had been violated. This conflict is not restricted to politics and religion and is also a conflict which surfaces when moral questions involve the sciences. The restrictions in the United States for the funding of embryonic stem cell research for instance, are often characterized as the out-of-place imposition of religious standards into science. In the Vision.org article, Sniffing Out a Cure for Parkinson's, Dan Cloer outlines recent findings in the area of adult stem cell research that avoid the moral quagmire.

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:47:26 EDT

Global Beverage Innovations announced today that it has retained the services of Veridian Group LLC of Minneapolis, Minnesota as a strategic marketing consultant to support the financial development and launch of Anti-Ageing Water. The company is looking for equity partners to launch its new designer water on the global marketplace. The concept behind Anti-Ageing Water is based on a patent pending VitRx® DMAE-based super-alkaline bottled water that was originally developed in Romania by Dr. Ana Aslan. The main active ingredient in her GeroVital® GH3 solution is the well-known local anesthetic Novocaine® (procaine hydrochloride). Taking the oral solution causes the procaine in GeroVital GH3 to rapidly break down in the stomach into DMAE; Dr. Aslan believed DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) to have beneficial anti-ageing effects. Among the famous people who reportedly took her rejuvenation treatments were Charles de Gaulle, Nikita Khrushchev, John F. Kennedy, Pablo Picasso, Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich.
