Phillip Stutts, a political marketing guru who has helped engineer more than 1,500 election wins including three presidencies, had 650-million stem cells injected into his esophagus to combat Achalasia. This disorder destroys the nerves and muscles in the esophagus which normally push food down toward the stomach -- and makes it difficult to eat. Phillip's experience gives us a look at the medical frontier at a time when stem cell treatments have reportedly cured HIV. His moonshot approach will give a lot of hope to a lot of people.
