The Labrecque resurrection bears all the hallmarks of the miraculous cure. It is medically mysterious, spontaneous and quick. It happened to a religious believer who knew that dozens of other believers were praying for him. Most importantly, the retelling of the story --if not the healing itself -- relied on the intercession of a saintly figure. In this case, it was not just the former pope, whom the Labrecques admired deeply, but also the founder of the Army of Mary, Marie-Paule Giguere, an 86-year-old Quebec mystic who claims to be a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, a photo of whom Suzanne had hung above the hospital bed.

Blind Girl Can See Thanks to Umbilical Cord-Based Adult Stem Cell Treatment London, England (LifeNews.com) -- Born two years ago with severe eye problems, Dakota Clarke could not even see well enough to recognize her own mother and father. But now the parents of the little girl, who is registered blind, say she can make out their faces for the first time after pioneering stem cell treatment. The couple gave up work to raise well over $40,000 to fly their daughter to China for the treatment, which remains at the experimental level in Britain -- because the nation has been too preoccupied with embryonic stem cells and human cloning. They returned home this week convinced that Dakota can now see colors, lights and objects around her as a result. They hope further therapy will give her a lifetime of sight. "It's nothing short of a miracle for us," said Mr Clarke, a former engineer. "She can see the world for the first time." In Dakota's case, cells were administered intravenously through her hairline and reportedly traveled towards her optic nerve, repairing the damaged area. The stem cells came from umbilical cords donated by Chinese mothers. Despite the obvious success, some doctors are talking down the results simply because the treatments aren't approved in England. Pro-life advocates say the results are yet another showing of how adult stem cells outpace their embryonic cousins both ethically and when used in treatments.
