I'm ... uhh, interested in the molecular mechanisms of this. :P Self-renewing pluripotent stem cells, such as embryonic stem cells or embryonic carcinoma cells, form teratomas when injected in vivo; in the lack of culture definitions that assert pluripotency, pluripotent cells spontaneously form tumors (teratomas); cells that are derived from all three germ layers. In fact, teratoma formation by subcutaneous injection of pluripotent stem cells into animals is a common benchmark to establish the pluripotency of cell lines ... it would seem that your "miracle cure" would simply form very nasty tumors. :P
