Adult Stem Cells

People that are desperately ill are willing to take a chance on stem cell therapies touted by clinics from all over Central Europe, South America, and Asia to get healthy again eventhough research on Stem Cell therapies are still in the infancy stage.  Those with incurable or debilitating diseases neither can nor want to understand that many of the therapies are untested but they are willing to spend $15,000.00 to $60,000.00 on a long shot to get healthy again.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is worried about stem cell clinics directly marketing to patients and using anecdotal evidence to support their medical claims. Stem cells have raised hopes of patients and excited researchers because of their potential to relieve symptoms or treat many diseases.  The enormous profit potential has inspired or maybe a better word tempted medical travel agencies to promote stem cell treatments eventhough they may advise patients that many treatments are untested, and that not all therapies will work for all people.

A more sensible and economical approach to participating in stem cell experimentation would be to consider using a proven nutritional regimen  to recovering from incurable or debilitating diseases which can be found in the two book set of Eat for Health written by Dr. Joel Fuhrman MD.  To accelarate the recovery add some unique patented stem cell nutrition found in a dietary supplement containing a 5:1 concentration of a blue green algae called Aphanizomenon flos aqua produced by a company called Stemtech Health Sciences, the world’s first stem cell nutrition company.  Consuming just 1 gram of this unique product has been clinically proven to naturally help the body release 3-4 million new adult bone marrow stem cells into circulation within one hour.

Dr. Adam J. Katz and his collaborators at the University of Virginia are pioneers in adapting various techniques to create an entirely new way of culturing adipose stem cells: upside-down.  By using a special inverted well plate they designed, the researchers suspending the cells in high concentration — about 50,000 cells per hanging droplet.  “It’s not just the cells you have, but how you prepare and grow them that impacts the in vivo therapeutic effect,” said Dr. Adam J. Katz.  Apparently biological activity and therapeutic potential is significantly improved by culturing the adipose stem cells in hanging droplets which allows them to form more potent three dimensional structures which exhibit some astonishing characteristics.  This optimized adult adipose stem cell growth can be used for wound repair caused by diabetic ulcers and other diseases caused by poor blood circulation and blood flow, such as cardiac ischemia, which leads to heart attacks; and severe burns.

President Obama’s executive order repealing restrictions on Embryonic Stem Cell research may have unintended consequences.  Adult Stem Cell scientists and businesses are concerned that this action will divert attention and resources away from the promising Adult Stem Cell scientific advances.

Scientific progress made by companies such as STEMTech which owns the rights to the only patented product that is a 5:1 concentration of  Aphenizomenon flos aqua (AFA) proven to enhance Adult Stem Cell release in a person’s own body may go relatively unnoticed if it were not for a dedicated team of independent distributors and WAHM work at home moms.   Embryonic Stem Cell research however, is a multi-billion dollar industry with Wall Street, the media and now the U.S. government joining in to create visibility and mass funding which is providing an almost incalulable amount of free advertising that astute marketers are begining to realize the benefits of all this attention.

When people are young, their bodies produce tissue and cells at a much faster rate, and thus, also repair tissue faster as well. This is why it can be so dangerous to get hurt as an older person, because repairing the damage takes much longer and is much slower.

For serious injury there are several different treatments that can help with repairing the tissue at a faster rate. Resting of course helps quite a bit, as does proper diet and getting the right nutrition. There are also medicinal treatments that can help with muscle repair and healing. The more recent advancements involve stem cells, which can replace tissue and repair muscle at a much faster rate. While stem cell research has been stymied in recent years by a lack of government funding, it’s now receiving significant attention and a lot more research funding.

According to STEMTech’s CEO, Ray C. Carter, Jr., StemEnhance was an instant hit from the very beginning.  It continues to be the primary catalyst of STEMTech’s impressive growth around the world and the company’s recent recognition by the DSA. 

“Our proprietary 5:1 concentration of AFA and proprietary circulation enhancer are one-of-a kind products that offer individuals and WAHM ’s an amazing business opportunity during uncertain economic times,” continued Carter, “and it’s easy to see why consumers and direct sellers alike are attracted to STEMTech a SAN CLEMENTE, California based company.  On June 2 /PRNewswire/ — STEMTech HealthSciences Inc. announced that it has been chosen from among approximately 500 Direct Selling Association (DSA) member companies as one of the three finalists for the prestigious DSA Rising Star award. STEMTech is responsible for bringing to market the world’s first and only scientifically proven stem cell nutritional supplement, StemEnhance(R).

“Stem cells are a hot topic,” explained Carter, “and offering a totally new concept in natural wellness by supporting a person’s own adult stem cells, while documenting its efficacy in double-blind published studies, has been perfect timing.”

Human fallopian tubes are rich in mesenchymal stem cells and could be a new source of highly sought-after stem cells. A University of Sao Paulo, Brazil research team found that human fallopian tubes removed from fertile women of child bearing age during hysterectomies are rich in mesenchymal stem cells.

The Journal of Translational Medicine reports the team isolated and grew these cells in a laboratory and differentiated them into muscle, fat, cartilage and bone cell lines without producing problems in the cell chromosomes. Other studies previously have also shown success with isolating and differentiating mesenchymal stem cells harvested from umbilical cords, dental pulp and body fat.

Researchers developed induced pluripotent stem cells from human cells without using viruses or exotic genes.  A University of Wisconsin team found a way to make human skin cells become like  embryonic stem cells for the potential for disease treatments by using DNA plasmids.

The benefit of this process is that it avoids the ethical challenge of using embryonic stem cells that are most likely harvested from frozen embryos and the risk of using viruses that may also introduce unwanted DNA.  The goal is the get these cells to become the body’s master cells that give rise to all 220 cell types in the human body which could repair or restore any challenged or damaged organ or tissue.   Also this could positively improve adrenal function, heart health, liver function and  joint health.
