...large amounts of bifidobacteria in their intestines. They also have fewer intestinal upsets. Dr. Jose Saavedra and colleagues at Hopkins have shown that Bb-12 prevents several types of diarrhea, including that caused by rotavirus, in hospitalized infants as young as four months. It has also been used to cure diarrhea in children of all ages. Products containing Bb-12 are available from Nutraceutical Corp. (800-365-5966), Solgar (800-645-2246) and American Lifeline (800-257-5433), among others...

In addition, you can't use a child's own cord blood to cure him. If he had a genetic condition, you'd be giving him back his old disorder. If he had cancer, you'd be giving him the same immune system that failed to defeat the cancer in the first place...

Though one of the most important legislative acts of the Clinton Administration was the lifting of the ban on fetal tissue transplant research to aid Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in 1993, increased funding and public awareness are still lacking in the search for a true cure for the disease...
Michael J. Fox, by speaking out about his struggle with Parkinson's and sharing his optimistic belief that he will survive to see a cure, is in a position to spread both a wider understanding of Parkinson's and a different perception of Parkinson's patients--not as victims but as people who can live productive and happy lives while hoping for a cure...
