On July 18, 2009, a new patented product containing a 5:1 concentration of  a fresh water algae Aphanizomenon flos aquae AFA from Klamath Lake Oregon USA became available in Germany.  Germans today can order product and have it shipped directly to their home. 

The introduction of this new product has created a very lucrative home based business opportunity for individuals that would desire to make some extra income.   This new product is the first of its kind in the category of stem cell enhancers and has the effect of causing the body to duplicate and release 3-4 million new adult bone marrow stem cells within an hour of consuming 1 gram of a 5:1 concentration of Aphanizomenon flos aquae.


Stem cell nutrition and enhancement is the new health frontier.  Individuals looking for alternatives to pharmaceuticals are discovering that Adult Stem Cells may hold the key to naturally promote wellness and rejuvenation regardless of age or what bad things have happened in the past. 

Scientists have discovered that people that have consumed large quantites of Aphanizomenon flos aquae, AFA for short, had some remarkable relief from conditions that affected their heart, liver, kidneys, brain, lungs, eyes and pancreas just to name a few.  Upon further investigation, scientists discovered the key compounds in this unique freshwater algae that actually promotes  bone health, adrenal function, liver function, cardiovascular function and just about any other body component that needs repair and rejuvenation through the effect of enhancing the adult bone marrow stem cells.


One can invest just a few hours a week on a consistent basis and create a major secondary stream of income that with effort will increase over time. The concept of recommending good books, movies, restaurants or products and getting paid is no longer left up to the experts that work for media outlets. There are many products and services that one may like, use and believe in, and we tell our friends all about them but if we are not affiliated with the manufacturer or distributor we essentially are doing free advertising.

For those that have a financial need, like a stay at home mom, someone recently downsized or unemployed or someone that just enjoys the social aspect of direct marketing, picking the right company with the right products can be a rewarding money making opportunity beyond imagination.

The key ingredient that makes success easier as a social entrpreneurship endevour is finding a product or service, preferably a consumable that is used up and purchased on a montly basis, it would be helpful if it was one of a kind, exclusive or the best in its category, low cost of entry to start the program and a solid reputable company that can deliver product on time and pay commissions on schedule. When one finds a company and product or service they like, take time to learn about company terms and conditions and how the pay program works. This helps to avoid mistakes and dissappointments and helps to put factors into motion such as time leveraging, duplication of effort by working with like minded individuals, helping to generate a subtantial residual income which is derived from geometric growth.


Scientists and researchers are taking normal adult cells and converting them to adult stem cells also know as induced pluripotent stem cells. Kind of like biting the snake that bites you, cells that form scars in the heart after a heart attack can be reprogrammed to repair the damage caused by the heart attack.

These induced pluripotent stem cells once converted from regular somatic cells can be used to repair any kind of injury and because they come directly form the injured host it eliminates the risk of rejection. Anti-rejection drugs would no longer be necessary either.


Scientists are working on human somatic cells to make them pluripotent, essentially give them the same qualities of an embryonic stem cell. These induced pluripotent  cells have all the factors that characterize human embryonic stem cells. Pluripotent means these cells have the ability to become any of the three primary germ layers.
Some of the uses for this kind of cell would be study and development of new disease models, transplantation medicine applications and new drug development. One of the big challenges with and embryonic stem cell is trying to control the mutations because one of the true test for and embryonic stem cell is that if will produce a teratoma tumor when injected under the skin.

Advances in Stem Cell Research

Embryonic stem cell research has fostered a tumultuous moral debate, which has unfortunately the beneficial applications of other stem cells. Adult stem cells represent a bold new frontier in the war against disease. Researchers have taken a special interest in the profound regenerative abilities of stem cells. Just a few stem cells can replicate enough tissue to create an entirely new organ.

The revolutionary implications of stem cells are not limited to human medicine, however. Cherished family pets can get a new lease on life with special stem-cell infusion techniques. Stem cell research is a multibillion-dollar industry, and our general wellbeing depends on its success.


Many have probably heard the story of when a man regrows a finger with help of pig bladder extract.   I was amazed when I first saw the story.  After studying various reports I was able to deduce that apparently the experimental powder helps to attract adult stem cells to the injury site  and then encourages them to completely restore the missing tissue.

“The broad outline is pretty straightforward. The powder is mostly collagen and a variety of substances, without any pig cells”, said Badylak, who’s a scientific adviser to ACell. “It forms microscopic scaffolding for incoming human cells to occupy, and it emits chemical signals to encourage those cells to regenerate tissue,” he said.


In September of 2005, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article suggesting that “the larger the number of Circulating Adult Stem Cells in a person’s body, the greater their level of overall health.”

The journal also stated in black and white that “The level of CD34+ (Stem Cells) is one of the best predictors of cardiovascular health.  The higher the number of circulating CD34+ cells, the greater the cardiovascular function and health.”

A resource that is proving to be helpful for people wanting a solid home based business opportunity is working with a company that offers the first natural dietary supplement Adult Stem Cell Enhancer which helps the body generate Adult Stem Cells which aid in the body’s natural rejuvenation process.   “This is a way for people help friends and loved ones, to earn some extra income or begin their own business,” said Ray Mikelonis.


DSCN9675A natural way of  increasing the size of a woman’s breast is by using a person’s own adult stem cells which are found throughout the body.  Using adult stem cells avoids the embryonic stem cell controversy and the potential of a teratoma.   Breast implants derived from adult stem cells are an exciting new development for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery because they have a more natural look and feel.

The process involves taking fat cells from the stomach or thighs which is used to extract adult stem cells.  These extracted adult stem cells are then mixed with the rest of the fat and periodically injected into the breast tissue to increase its volume.  The stem cells in the injected fat are thought to have a stimulating effect which brings in more blood flow enabling the new tissue of survive and stay healthy avoiding some of the common challenges of traditional implants such as rupturing, leakage, cysts and infections.


Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are in the news because of their ability to become virtually any cell type of the body has inspired promises and expectations.   There was even a ballot proposal in Michigan in 2008 to expand stem cell research.  Medical researchers and doctors are calling cell stem research the most exciting and revolutionary breakthrough development of the new millennium. But serious ethical issues–such as harvesting stem cells from frozen embryos–have encumbered and fuel the debate about the ethics of embryonic stem cell research.

Some medical scientists and researchers have found a way to avoid the ethical issues of harvesting stem cells from embryos by working with adult stem cells.  Although adult bone marrow stem cells are difficult to work with in the test tube, scientists and medical researchers have had over 73 different conditions result in successful outcomes vs 0 success using embryonic stem cells.
