Stem Cell Update

What is the benefit of stem cells in the body? Stem cells are the vital link between optimal health and illness in the body. They are how the body normally and naturally heals itself. In a nutshell, when there is an injury, whether it’s a broken bone, a cut finger, or a heart attack, the injured cells release a substance into the blood stream. Immediately, the stem cells which are found in most tissues of the body go to work. In the meantime, when the chemicals released are sensed by the bone marrow where the majority of stem cells are stored, stem cells are released and follow this chemical trail back to the injured tissues. Once there the stem cells actually become new cells to replace the injured ones. This is how the body naturally renews itself.

Research has shown the benefit of stem cells. Optimal health, particularly cardiovascular health, is directly proportional to the number of circulating stem cells. Basically this means the more stem cells circulating through the body, the better the person’s overall health. Whereas scientific medical research is centered around trying to get stem cells to perform miracles outside the body that can then be transferred into the body, we now know that stem cell enhancers can do amazing things within the body naturally. You can learn how to unleash your own body’s self renewal potential with stem cell enhancers and have the benefit of stem cells working for you.

If you’ve just had your first heart attack, doctors may one day be able to reverse the damage done with stem cell therapy according to a research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and reported on CNN.   There are clinical studies going on in over 50 hospitals across the U.S. which involve an intravenous method of injecting stem cells into patients who had experienced heart attacks within the previous 10 days.  Results suggest that this method of stem cell therapy may work to repair — not just manage – heart damage.

With coronary heart disease still a leading cause of death in the United States, this is a huge step forward in addressing the root of the problem, not merely managing problems as they arise.  While this is exciting news, and is one aspect of stem cell research that shows great promise, the article states a time frame of five years, in the best case scenario to have an approved cardiac stem cell therapy available.

In the meantime, there are things that can be done now, that can have a major impact on overall health, including cardiac health.  Along with diet, exercise, maintaining healthy weight, daily supplementation with stem cell enhancers can give your body the daily in circulating stem cells needed to repair and revitalize tissues in your body on a regular basis.  This is stem cell therapy you can start right now.

I am often asked questions about using Stem Enhance for children. It would seem that there would never be a need to have more stem cells circulating in their young bodies. But the fact is, children are exposed to the same toxins and stresses on their bodies as adults are. We are seeing more and more children with allergies, ADHD, and many other medical problems at younger and younger ages.

When my grandson was 6 months old, he developed rashes all over his body. By the time he was a year old he had been to countless doctors and had blood tests, skin tests, everything imaginable. He had been on all kinds of treatments and nothing but steroids helped, which of course are not good for long term use. Finally we decided to open a capsule of Stem Enhance into his juice every morning. Within a few days we began to see improvement, and within 2 weeks his skin was clear. As is the case with most toddlers, he can be stubborn and will sometimes refuse to drink his juice. After a few days, his rashes begin to reappear. They always clear right up when he begins drinking his “green juice” again. We can’t wait until he is old enough to swallow the capsule. You can bet we are keeping him on Stem Enhance.

Stem Enhance Research Graph

The effect of Stem Enhance on stem cells was tested in what is known as a double-blind, placebo controlled, cross over study. In brief, volunteers rested for one hour before the first blood sample, which established the baseline level in the number of circulating stem cells. After the first blood samples, volunteers were given Stem Enhance or placebo. Thereafter, blood samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after taking the capsules given to the volunteer. The number of circulating stem cells was quantified by analyzing the blood samples using Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). This was then done again with the volunteers switching groups. So whoever got Stem Enhance got placebo and vice versa. Since the study is blind no one, not even the scientists doing the study know which is placebo and which is Stem Enhance. The study demonstrated conclusively that consumption of Stem Enhance triggered a significant 25% or more increase in the number of circulating stem cells.

Healty Living

Stem Enhance is a breakthrough patented product that supports wellness by helping your body maintain healthy stem cell physiology through the release of your own adult stem cells from your bone marrow into your bloodstream. When Stem Enhance is used as a daily supplement over time, the circulation of millions of additional stem cells in the bloodstream could be one of the safest and most efficient methods for maintaining optimal health that science has yet discovered.

With advancing age, the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in your body gradually decrease, leaving your body more susceptible to injury and other age-related health challenges.  Just as antioxidants are important to protect your cells from “free radical” damage, stem cell enhancers are equally important to support your stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your body.

The benefits of healthy stem cell support include enhancing optimal wellness and can fight effects of aging. Healthy stem cells can help you feel stronger and more vigorous as you advance into retirement years.

Stem Enhance is the first and only available product that supports the natural release of Adult Stem Cells from our own bone marrow. Stem Enhance is a natural botanical extract; a blend of 2 compounds extracted from the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon Flos - aquae (AFA)…blue green algae in Klamath Lake. These compounds are extracted using a proprietary process that utilizes no chemicals, or harsh agents and are highly concentrated to make Stem Enhance.  One extract contains an L-selectin ligand, which supports the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The other extract, a polysaccharide-rich fraction named MigratoseTM, supports the migration of stem cells to tissue in the body needing repair.

Within 1 hour of taking 2 capsules, through a completely natural process, one component (as mentioned above) triggers the release of conservatively 3 to 4 million stem cells from our bone marrow. The other component facilitates the migration of these stem cells to any tissue in the body needing repair, any tissue. It doesn’t matter if it is bone, muscle, connective tissue, cartilage, liver, heart, brain, skin, nerve or aging and degenerating tissue. Once attached each adult stem cell multiplies and becomes new cells of that tissue.

The result of millions of new stem cells circulating and repairing tissues in the body can greatly assist the body’s natural ability to maintain vibrant good health.

Christian Drapeau at Klamath Lake

Stem Enhance is a patented proprietary concentrate of Alphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA for short). AFA is a fresh water blue-green algae that grows wild in pristine Klamath Lake, Oregon. Stem Enhance is the product of extensive research and development and has been proven to support the natural release of your own adult stem cells from the bone marrow.

People have been consuming AFA as a natural nutritional supplement for over 30 years with a wide range of results, some astounding and unexplainable. That’s what led neuro-physiologist, Christian Drapeau to study it and its properties. His research led to the development of Stem Enhance. Now we have a product that by simply taking 2 capsules increases the number of circulating stem cells by 3- 4 million new stem cells every time. This is research that has the potential to revolutionized the wellness industry without the destruction of a single human embryo and who’s results are readily available to anyone, right now, not decades from now.

In an effort to bring updates on stem cell research, the following is a excerpt from an article published in the New York Times.

Converting Cells Shows Promise for Parkinson’s

By NICHOLAS WADE
Published: March 5, 2009

In a striking instance of biologists’ new prowess at manipulating human cells, researchers at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass., have converted skin cells from people with Parkinson’s disease into the general type of neuron that the disease destroys.

The new approach, though it requires further work, would in principle allow the brain cells that are lost in Parkinson’s to be replaced with cells that carried no risk of immune rejection, since they would be the patients’ own.
The immediate goal of the research, led by Frank Soldner and Rudolf Jaenisch, is to grow the dopamine-producing cells in the laboratory to seek the cause of the degenerative disease. The cells could be exposed to the various environmental toxins that have come under suspicion as possible contributory causes.

A longer-term goal is to prepare cells suitable for transplantation. The cells of a Parkinson’s patient presumably have some innate predisposition to the disease. But since the disease generally does not show up for 50 years or more, an infusion of a new batch of cells may give the patient more useful years.

Dr. Jaenisch said the real promise of the new approach was to provide Parkinson’s-type neurons that could be grown in the laboratory to study how the disease develops. “Before you get to patients, there are many issues to be resolved,” he said. “I would think therapy is pretty far away.” But he said generating transplantable cells was “doable” once technical problems were solved.

Dr. Anders Bjorklund, a pioneer in using cell therapy to treat Parkinson’s, called the Whitehead team’s work “an important new step” in the development of the cell reprogramming technology. To generate cells suitable for transplanting into patients, several more steps are required, said Dr. Bjorklund, who works at Lund University in Sweden. “We are easily talking about a few years” before achieving cells that could be considered for transplant, Dr. Bjorklund said.

 My take, sounds interesting and promising.  In the meantime, many people coiuld be helped with the use of a natural stem cell enhancer, such as Stem Enhance.  With the addition of 3-4 million stem cells into the system every time Stem Enhance is taken, the body can be provided with a natural solution while medicine catches up with the research.

In doing research for StemCellUpdate.net, I came across this article on the Family Research council Website. I thought the perspective was interesting and thought I would share it here.

The Wisdom of Oz: Ding-Dong the Stem Cell Debate Is Dead

You’ve heard of being shell shocked-well, Oprah was the latest to be cell shocked! Hello, I’m Tony Perkins with the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. America’s biggest talk show added some real daytime drama when Dr. Mehmet Oz dropped by to talk about stem cell research. No one was more surprised than Oprah when he said, “The stem cell debate is dead.” He corrected Michael J. Fox for saying that embryonic stem cells were the only hope for treating Parkinson’s. “The problem with embryonic stem cells,” Oz said, “is that [they] come from embryos-like all of us were made with embryos… [I]t’s very hard to control them, and… they can become cancer.” With iPS cells, “We’ve made ten years of advancement…” Just this month, scientists have used moral alternatives to treat diabetes, torn cartilage, spinal cords, and infertility without taking a single human life. That’s because these cells are more than ethical-they’re effective. Meanwhile, Congress is still trying to ship millions of your money to embryo research. But more leaders might consider what Oz said-if they only had a brain. For more, visit FRCRadio.org

Fiction! Embryonic stem cell research gets far more press and attention, but the fact is that as of this moment, there have been no successful therapies in humans using embryonic stem cells. In fact, they tend to create problems, such as tumors and immune system reactions.

On the other hand, adult stem cell therapies have been successful in humans for many years. Bone marrow transplants are essentially stem cell transplants. As more and more research is done, many more advances in the use of adult stem cells are being made in virtually every area.

The approach of supporting the release of our own stem cells from the bone marrow has not yet gained mainstream media attention, however, anecdotal evidence is mounting that this is a very strategic approach to maintaining optimal health.
