    To the author...you clearly put a great deal of effort into your blog. Therefore, I thought it best that you know that Ms. Burns (above) has been making inane comments about "Dr" Fredda Branyon on every blog or post that she can find with the word 'cancer' in the title...including mine. Turns out that Branyon is NOT a physician. In fact, she is a CRIMINAL!!! Fredda Branyon of Scottsdale, Arizona, has made thousands off sick and desperate individuals. Ms. Branyon started buying umbilical cords and cord blood tissue from a Del Rio birthing center in 2009. Then, with no training regarding stem cell development or the legal ability to do so, she manufactured hundreds of vials of "stem cells". She sold 183 vials of "stem cells" for more than $300,000, to Francisco Morales, who worked with the lab she owned, Global Laboratories. Morales, in turn, led his patients to believe he was a doctor (he isn't) and was arrested in Texas for treating people with cancer and multiple sclerosis in "treatments" not approved by the FDA. Branyon pleaded guilty during an investigation by the FDA and FBI in 2011. She was facing 3 years in jail and a $10,000 fine. I hope she is cooling her heels in prison as I write.

    Sorry to use your blog in this way, but thought you would like to know. Yours, les
