Open Letter from an Adult Stem Cell Recipient
Veradale, Washington 8/31/2007 3:38 AM GMT (TransWorldNews)
My name is Doug Rice, I am 61 years old and have Congestive Heart
Disease and am Diabetic. I could be one of over 700,000 people that
die in the United States yearly, BUT I am not dead. Not because I
shouldn't be, but because there is a resolve to this problem. I am
not a miracle, a phenomenon, but a living person that by the Grace of
God was saved from a disease that kills about 1,800 people daily. I
had to travel to Bangkok, Thailand and go in debt to do something
that should be readily available in the United States. I used my own
stem cells, and a simple angioplasty procedure to have my life given
back to me. Your own stem cells have so much more to give than we
give them credit for; a lot of other diseases are being treated
successfully by using adult stem cells.
These 700,000 Heart patients don't make the mainstream press, no
newspaper articles of any significance and certainly most politicians
in Washington D.C. don't even like to discuss it. Sadly, it is a
fact, if a family dies in a car wreck, children are gunned down in a
school, a disgruntled person shoots or maims his or her coworkers,
and it is BIG NEWS.
However 700,000 people die at a rate of almost 1800 a day and no one
takes the time of day to pray for them. Not all are old, some are
very young, with families and friends to care about and most people
just don't realize that they die however almost everyone knows
someone that will die from this disease.
Did you know that over $613 Million dollars has been spent
researching embryonic stem cells as the miracle drug it is not? Did
you know that to my knowledge not one person has been treated and the
rats they have treated ended up with tumors?
Did you know that over 400,000 people with various cancers have been
successfully treated and most are alive to talk about the Adult Stem
Cell treatment using their own stem cells or ones from the cord, not
one by embryonic stem cells?
To be honest, discussing Embryonic Stem Cells is like kicking a dead
horse, "They Don't Work Now, They May Never Work", maybe in ten or
twenty years, but not now and there is something that works "NOW" -
adult stem cells !! What does it take to make people realize that a
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?
I bet if you ask someone what stem cells are, they will say
embryonic, not because they know, but because that is all they hear
about. The only way to get the job of moving adult stem cells to the
forefront is education, funding and actual treatment "NOW".
I get many calls on a daily basis because I have been treated with my
own adult stem cells. The most frequent question is "Why did you have
to go to Thailand?" My answer is "Because the embryonic forum
controls the press, the money and the education process as well as
the medical industry. Also you can not get it done in the United
States!" Kid yourself not, there is a lot of money involved, and do
you think if adult stem cells had the financial reward potential that
embryonic cell research has that we would even be having this
discussion? There would be money coming out of the wood work, every
medical enterprise would be all over it. However, your own stem cells
are not for sale, they are free, no one can patent them and make
billions off of them, and does that tell you why the funding and
education on adult stem cells is so far behind??
Listen, I am but one man, a very lucky man, to have had my ex-wife,
Sheba Rice, find the solution on the internet while looking for new
technology for heart disease. Without her efforts, I would be in an
urn on the fireplace. But, she gave a damn and wanted me alive for
whatever reasons. We all need to do the same for someone we know or
people that need the help. Those of us that care need to educate each
and every person that you meet. Not because I say to, but because of
the 700,000 people that will die this year not knowing of these types
of procedures!
I would get down on my knees and beg if I thought that I alone could
do it; however I know that I alone can't make the difference. But
you, your Senators, Congressmen, Doctors and news media friends can
make that all important difference. I will do what ever I can do to
move this forward, but boy do I need your help! Ask me for anything
that will help and I will do my best, I am asking everyone that reads
this to do their best, one day you may be where I have been, or your
mother, father, brother, sister as well as relatives and friends.
This is so serious I can't imagine everyone not getting involved; by
the way, I will admit I am a dreamer.
Feel free to contact me if I can be of help at info@douglastrice.
Thanks for reading this and I know you will help! Sincerely, Doug
Rice
