They had a section tonight on 60 Minutes that blew mind. There is a Dr. Wolfe at the U. of Pittsberg Medical Center that is using material he is getting from pig bladders and is treating patients to cause the bodies of patients that have lost parts of their bodies to restore them. One was a vet that had lost the upper part of his right thigh in combat and the Dr. has been treating the man with Extra Cellular Material taken from pig bladders . They were talking amputation before Dr. Wolfe came into the treatment. It showed the patient's thigh and it was regrowing muscle and he was exercising on a rehab machine. They also showed a video of the inside of an esophogus of a patient that had cancer on the lining. They excised that part and brought the stomach up and sutured it to the upper part of the esophogus and treated it with ECM and it had grown new esoghagus and he was cancer free two years later. They showed another vet that had lost a hand above the wrist and they had taken a hand from a cadaver and treated it with ECM and attached it to the patient and he could actually move his/ the fingers of the hnd and make a fist and open the hand. The patient wasn't having to take any anti rejection meds .
It amazes me that we never heard of any of these researches before stem cell research came to light. Now everyone is whooping it up. Heck--the more the merrier
