I believe that Stem Cell treatment may be very effective for treating cirrhosis, IF you have a good doctor from a reputable clinic. But I have read some horror stories about people wasting their money on the WRONG DOCTORS and the WRONG CLINICS. I want to warn anyone about Dr. Javier Lopez at the Hospital for Regenerative Medicine at Hospital Angeles. The way they treated this woman was, in my opinion, DESPICABLE. You can read more of her story here. This doctor is threatening to sue her for telling the truth, and I want to back her up! If you know of someone who is considering stem cell treatment, please share this with them.

I have finally found THE most promising treatment option I have seen so far, in my months of research for the answers. It really blows my mind, that this information i s not more readily available. This invaluable video I just found, at the time I found it, had less than 300 views, and it had been posted over a year ago. Seriously?? Just 300??!??? Meanwhile, there were over 30,000 deaths from liver cirrhosis last year, in the United States alone. And there were over 100,000 people discharged from the hospital, with Liver Cirrhosis as the first-listed diagnosis, last year. You can see the facts HERE
I am determined to make these "Golden Nuggets" of information, more readily available for people who can use them!
I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I did.
UPDATE AUGUST 2018:
Eric Merola has very generously offered his Stem Cell documentary to watch for FREE! Incredible.
Please watch this if you can, below. If it is ever removed from youtube, you can see it on HIS SITE, or watch it free on Amazon Prime Video. If for some reason you don't have Prime, it's ok, you can watch it for a minimal charge, cheaper than going to an action flick at a theatre, and you'll learn a lot more.

And they are actually beginning to do this in CALIFORNIA!!!
This video may be from China, but there are subtitles that explain how the process works!

Liver repaired with stem cells taken from skin and blood
Patients with advanced liver disease can be treated with stem cells taken from their own skin or blood in a breakthrough that could save thousands of lives and cut transplant waiting lists.
8:00PM BST 11 May 2011
Researchers have found a way to cheaply produce millions of the cells that can be injected into the organ and help regenerate it.
The technique involves converting skin and blood cells back to their original stem cell state and then into liver cells.
These were then injected into a liver with cirrhosis.
More than a tenth of the stem cells – – the most basic form of cell that can convert into any other cell – grafted on to the liver and started working without any significant side-effects.
The advantage of using stem cells taken from skin or blood – known as induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) – is that they are cheap and can be multiplied easily in the laboratory.
Because they are from the patient there is also less danger of the body having a reaction to it.
The only other source of stem cells at the moment is from embryos and this is fraught with ethical issues.
"Our findings provide a foundation for producing functional liver cells for patients who suffer liver diseases and are in need of transplantation," said Professor Yoon-Young Jang, at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, in Maryland.
"iPSC-derived liver cells not only can be generated in large amounts, but also can be tailored to each patient, preventing immune-rejection problems associated with liver transplants from unmatched donors or embryonic stem cells."
Although the liver can regenerate in the body, end-stage liver failure caused by diseases like cirrhosis and cancers eventually destroy the liver's regenerative ability, Jang says.
Currently, the only option for those patients is to receive a liver organ or liver cell transplant, a supply problem given the severe shortage of donor liver tissue for transplantation
iPSCs are made from adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to revert to an embryonic stem cell-like state, with the ability to transform into different cell types.
Human iPSCs can be generated from various tissues, including skin, blood and liver cells. For the study, Prof Jang and colleagues generated human iPSCs from a variety of adult human cells, including liver cells, bone marrow stem cells and skin cells.
Next, they chemically induced the iPSCs to differentiate first into immature and then more mature liver cell types.
Using mice with human-like liver cirrhosis, the researchers then injected the animals with two million human iPSC-derived liver cells or with normal human liver cells.
They discovered that the iPSC-derived liver cells engrafted to the mouse liver with an efficiency of eight to 15 per cent, a rate similar to the engraftment rate for adult human liver cells at 11 per cent.
Researchers also found the engrafted iPSCs worked well behaving like normal liver cells.
Now the researchers hope to carry out trials in humans.
One concern has been the potential for embryonic stem cells or iPSCs to cause tumours, though no tumours formed in any of the transplanted mice during the seven months they were studied – the equivalent to more than 30 years in a human life.
The research is published in the journal of Science Translational Medicine.

Please note: I am not a doctor and I am only able to tell you what I have learned by doing my own research on the internet, and share with you the things that have worked for my husband. Please remember that Liver Cirrhosis is a very serious disease so I am not saying, do not see a doctor. Doctors have helped my
husband a lot. But I believe it is wise to do as much research as you can, and find out why
they are giving you every one of the medications and treatments they are giving you.
I believe they do not always know about or understand every treatment option that is available,
and there are many good options out there that can help.
Your health is ultimately your own responsibility, above anyone else's.
Best of luck to you!!!
