Earlier today, I was reading an article on new medical research. A new study in rats showed that removing some of the bone marrow could actually strengthen bones and speed up recovery after a fracture or a break. Has anyone heard of this? If this is true, I would think doctors would have to give the patient some kind of bone growth hormone if some of the bone marrow were to be extracted.
