Richard T. Lee, M.D., senior author of the Harvard study, says: "We have been taught for decades that when your heart cells are dead, they are dead and there is nothing we can do about it. We are excited about anything suggesting that we can grow more heart cells."
This was "breaking news" back in 2003.. I haven't heard if it has been followed up?
What triggered this is a customer who credits our vitamin C with saving his life, cleared his arteries, but his heart is so badly damaged that he is going somewhere, probably South America, for the very expensive Stem Cell treatment/therapy that he hopes will rebuild his heart. (And come to think of it, he may take most of his vitamin C as liposomal... Hmmm.. In any case.)
I remembered this work at Harvard, and wonder if any one, any where has tried injecting vitamin C directly into "dead" heart muscle? (And maybe some of the more successful "stem cell clinics" are doing exactly this!)
