Henderson has managed to avoid the heart transplant by taking CoQ10, a supplement that has helped her heart beat faster, but she wants to do something more. She wants to have adult stem cell therapy in Thailand, in which her own immature stem cells would be used to try to repair the damaged portion of her heart.  The only thing holding her back is the $50,000 cost. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news219.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

The whole procedure -- harvesting cells from bone marrow, growing tissue, and surgically implanting the heart muscle or valve -- could take as little as six weeks and could become routine within three-to-five years, they reported. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news213.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

Mike Swendseid had an angioplasty, triple-bypass heart surgery.  Inside him were four wires, two stents, a pacemaker and a defibrillator.  He had apparently run out of options in battling heart disease. However, science delivered a response.  At the Minneapolis Heart Institute which is part of Abbott Northwestern Hospital, the 70-year-old Swendseid became a recipient of experimental stem cell treatment in January. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news15.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>
