Bart Starr walking again after stem cell treatment

[RS12]

Bart Starr had quite a meal Tuesday morning in Alabama — three pancakes and an omelet with three eggs and cheese.

It was made by his wife Cherry, his bride of 61 years. And it didn’t take him long to eat it.

“He fed himself the entire breakfast,” Cherry Starr said. “It was great.”

It was another small but significant moment for Starr, the legendary former Green Bay Packers quarterback. Before he underwent an experimental stem cell treatment in June, Starr, 81, could barely walk or feed himself. His condition had deteriorated after suffering a heart attack, two strokes and a four seizures in September.

But now he can walk and eat unaided, seemingly sparked back to his feet with the help of this treatment.

He's certainly a fighter.

Promising treatment.
I wonder if it helps out with players that had multiple concussions.

I also wonder if it can be used to treat Alzheimer's...lots of great science happening out there.

Great Person and hoping he makes full recovery. Brett could take a lot of pointers from Bart.

I am glad he is making a return to good health.

I do not agree with or support the media coverage this type of treatment has received though. The world is full of quack "stem cell therapy" taking advantage of desperate people.

Yes. I think there would be great things if they could figure out genetic markers and turn them off - Cancer.
