Through their work with fetal tissue, researchers hope to find ways to harness embryonic stem cells which have the ability to become any type of human cell and could provide new treatments for many illnesses.

There are no bona fide treatments available for embryonic stem cells. There is nothing in the laboratory, and there is certainly nothing in the clinics available to patients.

My mother was a nurse, and in her era, most diseases weren't understood; people put mustard plasters on knees and rubbed camphor on your chest if you had a cough and did funny things to you if you had tuberculosis - all these things that really made very little difference once proper treatments were brought in.

This probably has to do with the aging of the population and more people confronting these situations. The poll found that people who have participated in decisions about end-of-life or had loved ones with illnesses in the last five years are much more likely to have thought about end-of-life treatments or to have living wills.

She's halfway through the treatments and reports from her doctor are favorable. The tumor is 50 percent of what it was, so that's a good thing. We take things day by day, one day at a time.

If we're soon going to be spending $100 billion a year, we'd better have treatments that work over a long period of time against diseases that are important today and will be more important tomorrow. If we don't know those conditions are satisfied, we can't judge whether we're getting our money's worth,

There is a kind of common linkage among these diseases. Our hope is that this new finding will aid us to devise new treatments for a broad category of disabling disease.

There is a disconnect between the investment we're making in discovering treatments and the result in practical treatments that are reaching patients. We think that there are scientific approaches we could be taking that would help us learn more about drugs in a shorter time and for less cost.

It is imperative that patients with glaucoma be well-monitored for changes in their disease. Our results prove what we've thought for a long time ? that the disease gets more expensive as it worsens.

People are missing opportunities to avail themselves of treatments that could increase their sexual functioning and thereby add to their quality of life.

There are initiatives in place to deter counterfeiters and those who sell fraudulent or phony products to prevent or treat avian flu.

The winter is an especially challenging time for blood collections. Despite the cold weather, it's important that we continue to see our neighbors donating blood, because patients can't wait for the lifesaving treatments they need.

The work being done by America's pharmaceutical research companies is the greatest hope of finding additional treatments and a vaccine for avian flu, and policy measures should be developed to encourage these efforts, not discourage them,

The study might eventually lead to preventions or treatments for many common conditions,

I've always thought of beauty therapy, 'alternative' treatments and the like as the female equivalent of brothels - for essentially self-deceiving people who feel a bit hollow and have to pay to be touched.

This exciting meeting lays critical groundwork for the future.

The more research we have, the better, ... Those treatments that are found to be effective will, believe me, be incorporated in the mainstream.

It's only for treatment-resistant patients -- people who have failed many other treatments and are very very sick with few other options.

It just goes to show you that nobody's superman. I know what he's going to be going through, to some extent, and I feel for him. It's a shame he can't run while he's receiving treatment like I did, because sometimes the best medicine is getting to do what you love. But there are so many different types of cancer, and the treatments are all different, and evidently he's not able to do both.

It's a lot of information to go through, but what the employees understand is that someone with one type of compulsive behavior may be predisposed to other addictive problems. Over time, in working with Harvard, we hope to understand what sort of programs and treatments work.

It's a very high-pressure job, and while he's beaten the cancer well and truly now, there's still some ongoing treatments that take some time and I'm sure that was part of John's thinking.
