RE: Stem cells? A diversion while I'm installing the Perl dependencies (Steemit.pm!), for the program to tabulate the votes
Thanks, I hope you find something that helps you and your wife. It is very hard when the medical profession doesn’t have a clear answer for your problems.
You could try to use DISQOVER.com to put in your symptoms and try to find out what kind of solutions there might be or trials going on. This tool was created by a dad who couldn’t find out what was wrong with his child with learning disabilities. He wanted to help people who can’t get an answer to their problems, but the internet is a mess and hard to get through. This tool is used by pharma ( paid) to find all info on certain medicine or disease or symptoms , but is open to the public to use.
In addition on the stem cell question, in the Netherlands ( I am Dutch so biased) at the Utrecht hospital they do surgeries and treatment with stem
-cells that are not from the patient ( allogeneic), but after surgery. So it is a practice that is starting. I work together with Hubrecht institute linked to this hospital, where they do the stem-cell research and they are highly esteemed in the world.

Neat, thanks! I did a bunch of research yesterday and feel much better about this, now.
NOTE: I had clicked "Reply" to you, wrote the reply, clicked the upvote button, then clicked "Post". This comment ended up under @fishyculture's reply to me! I think the comment response box code might have e.g. "second comment under parent" and when I upvoted it changed the comment order -- thus, "second comment under parent" became @fishyculture's comment, and it was posted there.
This is not the first time this has happened, and it seems to have started fairly recently. My kingdom for a Bugzilla for Steemit!
lol, well it’s here now. And I like the reply to fishyculture as well. I just love silence. I have always loved it. Some people think I’m nuts, but I also believe it’s part of being at easy with yourself, hearing yourself think, and just being...
Oh sorry, I forgot to add that I had to copy then delete the one under hers, and then paste it into a new comment under yours.
Yeah, I'm really enjoying silence. Meditating seems to have taken hold as well. I'm using Headspace; they have a phone app as well as a website http://headspace.com -- it's guided meditation. I've started doing one on pain management, actually just last night, perhaps it wasn't only the research that cured that blockage.
Yes, "just being" isn't easy in this fast-paced world!
