Re: 21st Century Snake Oil by Scott Pelley concerning Stem Cell Research

Please go to the following website: www.futurehealth.ceresliving.com. They appear to promise a cure for many incurable diseases using patented ingredients that promote healthy stem cell formations. Let me say at the outset that I am not well versed regarding how their product works. However, the parent company is NEO Stem.

They are having a conference this weekend October 1-3, 2010 in Atlanta with a full array of international doctors who will be in attendance. On Saturday October 2, 2010 they are allowing anyone to attend a full day of the conference. Your attendance will be free and you will enjoy the opportunity to meet with the Doctors who have developed this apparently revolutionary cure that they suggest will heal people suffering with many different types of diseases.

Please attend and see if they offer a real hope for a cure! If their claims are legitimate then this would positively impact hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from so called "incurable diseases". I hope you will be able, through your research, to learn more about the group. I believe they will be meeting at the Marriott Hotel here in Atlanta beginning on Friday October 1st and running through the 3rd. So please act quickly to attend the conference. It would be a good bridge to your last story with hopefully a positive outcome.

Scott if you can attend this conference it will be tremendous. I hope this will be a great investigative report that needs to be told especially if this isn't "snake oil".

Thanks

I saw this recent show on CBS in regards to this person claiming that he had a cure for MS and other neurological illness. I have MS.

I was shocked that this person has the nerve to con people people out of their money knowing that they have no cure for this and other illnesses. It disgusted me that someone claims to have a cure that not even the scientists have a answer or a cure for this and other illnesses. He had no credible information to back up his claim.

This person should be in prison and not be allowed to victimize other people out of whatever savings an monies that they have left after they pay for their other expenses. Shame on you. Your a con artists.

My brother, Dr. A..B. Robillard, has had ALS for more than 20 years. Although totally paralyzed, cannot speak, eat, or lift a finger, he is still an active Professor at the University of Hawaii. Hios wife gets him ready, each weekday, and drives him to the University where he is still teaching. I think he can be a real inspriation for all ALS patients, everywhere.
