  • All I know, he is one of the best doctors I have ever met. peopel with high risk pregnancy can contact Dr. Petrikovsky

  • "Embryonic stem cells, unlike adult stem cells, cannot be used directly in therapy because they cause cancer. Indeed, one laboratory test for embryonic stem cells is to inject them into mice and analyse the teratoma (a tumour formed of foetal tissue) that arises." Scientific American. Dr. P must be unaware that when embryonic tried in rats they all got brain tumors within 10 wks - but using adult stem cells were much improved within 3 wks.

  • 2 wks. to cures or 10 wks. to brain tumors, difference between adult and embryonic stem cells. "BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics .. successfully implanted human bone marrow derived stem cells into animal models of Parkinson's disease and observed improved motor function within just two weeks of implantation." Conversely, "the University of Rochester transplanted human embryonic stem (HES) cells into the rats ... after 10 weeks into the trial ... tumours had begun to grow in every rat."

  • How about using adult stem cells? That way you don't have to murder anyone.
