Cynthia Carrion-Norton flits high-heeled around the Philippine capital with energy levels belying her years, thankful for a controversial treatment she highly recommends to fellow sixty-somethings. Carrion-Norton, 66, a member of the Philippine Olympic Committee and a former undersecretary for medical tourism, credits her vitality to adult stem cell therapy. "The day I got the therapy I went to a dinner party and everyone told me: 'Cynthia, you're blooming!", Carrion-Norton told AFP.
