The September Ask the Doctor will be hosted by a doctor from a company that is using placenta derived stem cell therapy and has a clinical trial starting very soon. I will post the formal announcement in a few days, but be thinking of some questions for this doctor!

I certainly hope this is something to look forward to. Anything out there that helps us breathe easier.

The first trial is not for lung disease, but I believe that it is something that is possible not too far down the road. Danny sent me this article from another company which does give some hope for lung disease using placenta derived stem cells. You will find the doctor who will host to be very fascinating I'm sure. It's another approach and one that I feel is worth having an Ask the Doctor forum about.
