Stem cell latest
The story continues to develop

Next stage – get them working!
Stem cell latest
Easy stem cells!!
Paper published in Nature is possibly one of the most
important developments in stem cells for 20 years
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment25967136
Stem cell latest

Warning:
Other labs are finding it difficult to replicate these results
There might be more to it – not as easy as first thought
Power of placebo
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03wcchn/clips

Placebos work due the power of our expectations. Here are some of the
surprising things that a placebo can do. Even the size and shape of the pill can
make a difference.
Placebos could not act as an antifungal and fight infection, but they can help
relieve pain, anxiety, stress, nausea and much more!
Insulting? Implies we are in control of some of our symptoms? Some studies
suggest that isn’t the case & a placebo reaches something deeply engrained in
us that has real physical effects. Scientists want to harness this power.
Help us regulate damp industry
Change.org – look for petition to Eric Pickles for

better regulation of the damp surveying industry in
the UK & sign – many thanks!

Suggest a subject
Can be on any relevant subject you would like to hear
our opinion or get our help with

Send suggestions to admin@aspergillus.org.uk
Pass notes to me at clinic or at the meeting
Phone them in (24 hrs) at 0161 291 5866
Other advances
Stem cells proving to have the ability to help cure Tb!

(this was a surprise result – the experiment was only
intended to test for safety)


A group found that when they gave patients back their own
stem cells (patients who had infections that were resistant to
multiple drugs), three times as many as controls were cured
after 6 months!

Itraconazole may be useful to treat prostatic cancers!
Other news
Periodical for clinic is in development
An ‘expanded newsletter’ with news, information,

art, poetry. Probably do 4 editions.
Ideas welcome!
Thank You

work together”

  • 14. Power of placebo http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03wcchn/clips Placebos work due the power of our expectations. Here are some of the surprising things that a placebo can do. Even the size and shape of the pill can make a difference. Placebos could not act as an antifungal and fight infection, but they can help relieve pain, anxiety, stress, nausea and much more! Insulting? Implies we are in control of some of our symptoms? Some studies suggest that isn’t the case & a placebo reaches something deeply engrained in us that has real physical effects. Scientists want to harness this power.
