This week, internationally famous Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho underwent an experimental heart procedure in Bangkok Thailand that involved injecting his own blood stem cells directly into his heart muscle. Some studies say this procedure can improve the heart's pumping ability by 20-70%. Mr. Ho is currently in intensive care but his condition is stable. He hopes to return to Hawaii in the next two weeks, and be performing again at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel before Christmas 2005. [Honolulu Advertiser Article]
