The family of Gordie Howe has reported what seems to be astonishing improvements for the hockey legend as the result of stem cell injections offered by a research firm. The injections given to Howe by Stememdica Cell Technologies has brought the stricken Howe back to his feet and has him conversing normally with his family. It is an amazing result, wholly unexpected, after the 86-year-old former NHL hero was laid low by a serious stroke. He was thought to be near death. It is apparently yet another example of the breath-taking pace of medical advancement. TSN
