God love him! Dick Van Dyke has been named the first-ever spokesperson of Cell Therapy Foundation, a public charity founded in 2007 to advance awareness about the benefits of adult stem cell research. From CTF:
Mr. Van Dyke is scheduled to record a series of public service announcements focused on educating the public that adult stem cells, which come from bone marrow, fat, umbilical cord blood and placenta, skin, muscle, and other sources, have healing functions that are leading to new therapies for many diseases. An avid graphic artist and animation hobbyist, Mr. Van Dyke will also participate in the development of an animation film project that will visually explain the repair functionality of adult stem cells in a fun and creative way.
“I am truly impressed by the potential that adult stem cell research has already shown and am hopeful that by getting the message to more people, we can fund additional research that could positively impact thousands of lives around the world,” said Mr. Van Dyke.
How exciting! especially considering that so many other celebrities, including Van Dyke’s former onscreen wife Mary Tyler Moore, have been using their voices to advance stem cell research that destroys human embryos.
If you can, please help support the Cell Therapy Foundation

That is great to hear! 🙂
Good news: a celeb just about everyone has heard of (and just about everybody adores). Usually, if we get a celebrity on our side on these issues, it’s the guy who was in that scene of that movie, eight guys over from the guy everybody knows.
Let’s not forget another very accessible and powerful source of stem cells found in baby teeth and wisdom teeth. When you or a family member is scheduled to have a planned dental extraction of a healthy tooth, consider banking these valuable stem cells for future regenerative therapies.
