New Stem Cell Finding
I have been following the progress and politics of stem cell studies. There are hundreds of incurable diseases that could be cured with stem cells. The big hold-up of stem cells being used, is that uneducated leaders believe that the only place you can get stem cells is from aborted fetuses (feti?) and by embryos that have been frozen for later implantation into infertile mothers. This is not true. They have found stem cells in bone marrow, umbilical cords of mothers who deliver babies, and now even in menstrual blood! There is a story on a friend's blog about how we can save our menstrual blood so that it might save the life of someone in our family when stem cell use gets approved. Already there is a program for saving mothers' umbilical cords after birth. My daughter has saved hers, thinking someday it might help to cure my lupus. This website has a picture of the kit offered to collect and save the blood, and links to the organization that discovered this new advance in science, and offers the service. Please go to

Dear Bluebirdy,
Thank you for linking to me. Yes, I hope there will be cures soon for everyone, and particularly for Lupus.
There's hope as science is making new discoveries everyday.

All the best to you Bluebirdy. Maybe one day you'll come to Singapore for a visit. You will love the hospitality here and we have great health care. But not the weather probably. Even I can't stand it. Too hot and humid, lol!
