The man who grew a finger

[Dbot101]

For those of you that don't know, that "Pixie Dust" is actually a form of stem cell that has been taken from pig bladder. Check out the National Geographic documentary on "growing a Human Heart" on their Youtube Channel.

Any one notice that the 2 year old finger nail that has to be trimmed every 2 days (because it is SOOOO young) is as old, thick and yellow as the others?

The old guy is either a nut job or a con man. The pixie dust is available for purchase I believe. I wonder what percentage the old man gets.

People are so gullible when they are desperate, they believe anything.

So, why haven't we seen all the other miracle stories?

Because there are none, that's why!

U in on it 2 BuAnas? U a inet con artist?

[MrJongpilpark]

I would like pixie dust magic powder to obtain and how much is the price, be prescribed by a doctor are you doing? Anyone with pixie dust magic powder in gumaehalsu happened? You know where to sell and the hospital would eopeup who knows?

All jokes Aside Lorena Bobbit's ex Should Consider This Method to Grow His Manhood Back.

for 69 hes looking pretty good, im not gay btw

[hop208]

@NuclearEskimo94 Not a particularly gay statement to make. Also, we would have to assume you're male and your screen-name doesn't clearly indicate your gender.

[barla87]

No way!

Dr Robert Becker was successfully re growing the limbs and organs of animals using by electrically stimulating bone marrow cells to differentiate into a form of adult stem cells which re grew the bone from within by regeneration OVER A DECADE AGO!!. He wanted to experiment on humans but his funding was... PULLED!. You can download his book called the body electric for free and read about his experiments.

@maxpowerboard Were they animals with already missing limbs?

If not then screw him. You don't go cutting off animals limbs to see if you can grow them back, It's just sick.

[DavorMATF]

@maxpowerboard Is there a peer reviewed scientific paper published in any scientific journal about his work on animals?

Please, if he did why you claim he did, he would have already won Nobel prize in medicine and bean one of the most famous people on the planet.

Very exciting news not too long ago this would have been science fiction. Even if it is limited to just growing part of a finger back that is useful to people who like to type or play the piano and you just don't realize how important one finger is until you lose one. Thankfully I have all my fingers but should I lose one I know I would be contacting these people and begging to sign up for clinical trials.

[HighCardWins]

I wonder if that could be injected into a spinal cord injury. They need to try it on someone. That would make some headlines.

[JonathanDeane]

Well they did say it grew back all the feeling and nerves so I believe it would be possible at least.

[HighCardWins]

I would assume that would be their frist idea for the use of this material. I wonder if they have tried.

[Nicholassc7k]

they actually did something like that to a rat that was paralyzed

[HighCardWins]

What's the hold up. Do it to humans. There's not much risk, I would think, to try.

[Nicholassc7k]

ik but theres ethical issue with this stuff because it uses cloning, not like making another person this is a different type of cloning , but you inject you dna into an embryo and then u can make organs. if we did invest in this more it would cure MANY diseases. you could make a replacement organ if u needed one and it would always be a perfect match that means no organ rejection, taking anti organ rejection-drugs, waiting for years to get an organ. 14 people die every HOUR waiting for an organ

[HighCardWins]

They didn't mention anything about cloning.

There is a way around using stem cells from embryos. Scientist can now take your skin cells and turn them into stem cells. Basically, any cell in your body has the ability to become any anything you need. It is just turned off.

[Nicholassc7k]

yeah they take skin cells, suck the dna out of them and put them in an egg. thats how they do it

[HighCardWins]

I could be wrong but I think they just inject skin cells with something to turn the into stem cells. I remember b/c it ends the controversy over embryonic stem cells use.

The only people against embryonic stem cells are mostly religious people.

From what I understood, they were just using extra parts that where not going to be used in created a baby. It that case there is no reason they shouldn't be used in my opinion.

[HayteStreet]

its called the extracellular matrix, and its extracted from the pigs bladder.

[andredc07]

its powdered pigs bladder, well powder made up of "compounds mixed with cells found in the inner pig bladder lining"

[edwardcorfield16]

yea i read about this is sciencetifc american, he put it in potein poweder, many ppl tht aided the regrown

[flowerpunkchip]

you are f*****g kidding me
