The Grace of Stem Cells

I am a sixty-two-year-old man who has been living with Parkinson s disease for the past four years. When I was first diagnosed, I remembered seeing Muhammad Ali shaking uncontrollably on television and thought that I would become just like him one day... There was hope. Parkinson s is just one of the many diseases that affects people around the world. These diseases are treatable, but not curable. Or are they? Dr. Jeong-Chan Ra is a leading biomedical scientist who has revolutionized the world of adult stem cells while working on stem cell research in Seoul, South Korea, and in research and implementation facilities around the world including the U.S., Europe, Turkey, Japan, China, and more. While the United States and other Western societies are just beginning to branch out into the uses of stem cells, Dr. Jeong-Chan Ra and his colleagues have already used their research to help thousands through proven clinical interventions, tracking cases and publishing what many have called the clearest evidence of the safety of adult stem cells. Autoimmune and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson s, diabetes, and Alzheimer s have shown marked improvement and in some cases signs of full recovery. There is still much more work to be done, but so far the results have been astounding as chronicled in Dr. Ra s many publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed scientitic journals.

The Grace of Stem Cells answers the question, What are stem cells? It explains why stem cell research is important, what is going on in the field, and how adult stem cells work to repair the body. If you have an incurable disease, know someone with one, or simply enjoy learning about advances in medical technology, this informative guide is for you.
