ok, i will probably be getting alot of hate messages for this post but.. I would like actual honest opinion about the research.
I'd also like to know if your for or against it could you honestly say you know much about the research & what it actaully intails or is your only knowledge from what you've seen and heard.

my opinion: I am very much for it. And i honestly think that the government doesn't have a real case to ban the research. there are two main reasons why.

the 1st is the abortion issue. Yes, stem cells can be taken from aborted pregnancies, BUT it's not the only why to get stem cells. So i don't find it a valid excuse.

the 2nd is the cloning issues. What most people don't realize is that scientificly we are so far from ever being about to clone a human, it's still a joke. And I don't think it's the acutal issue of cloning that's the problem. It's the fact that people can't trust others to only do what this research it intended for. To change the research from good to bad

I have heard that this suppliment helps the whole body. I read many experiences on the internet and I want to know where is a good place to find out more about it and where I can go to get the best form of this amazing "fruit of the gods". I have prostate cancer and I am scared of getting kemo therapy.

I have noticed that most celebrities like to attach themselves to any number of causes, and then by default, they think everyone in the world should be just as passionate or concerned about it as they are. For instance Bono and Africa, Cindy and Cancer, etc...

I guess my question is really why should I be prodded to caring about something because one famous person thinks I should. Seriously, I have my own concerns - for me it's the destruction of the world's reef systems, but I'm not out there cramming it down the public's throat and expecting everyone to get as excited about it as I am. How all you celebrities just donate all your millions to your own cause, shut your mouth, and let the rest of us normal folks give in the way we can to what we feel concerned and passionate about.

I suffer from Ankylosing Spondylitis and have been feeling the effects for over 3 years now since I was 19. I've been on a drug called Remmicade for over a year with great results, my disease is in almost complete remission. The thing I am worried about is if anything were to ever happen with my insurance etc., there would be absolutely no way I could afford the Remmicade treatments. Have you, or do you know of any alternative treatments you have used and seen real results? I went to just about every quack doc imaginable before starting the Remmicade treatments with no luck so I am a bit discouraged with the homeopathic route.

I have many many allergies and have always wondered if I am allergic to bee stings. Is there some way besides going to the doctor or stinging yourself to figure it out?

I have noticed a pinprick rash on my face and hands appears after I have been in direct sunlight for a long time. I was given steroid cream but not too keen on using it often. Has anyone experienced anything like this and have any suggestions for preventing it from occuring again?

I have been taking showers, then waiting 10 minutes, then using cleanser, toner, and lotion, but I'm not sure if I should be giving them time to take effect.
