Sight restored using stem cells in eyes damaged by chemical burns

Author: stem cell guy
pellegriniHealthy stem cells were extracted from an area at the junction of the cornea and white part of the eye called the limbus, cultured on fibrous tissue then placed in a single layer on the damaged eye.  Dr. Graziella Pellegrini of the University of Modena’s Centre for Regenerative Medicine and her team of researchers found that sight was restored using stem cells implanted  in eyes of patients damaged by chemical burns.
 
Over 80 patients which amounted to more that 75% of patients treated, regained their sight after undergoing the stem cell procedure.  These findings were anounced by Dr. Pellegrini at the International Society for Stem Cell Research meeting in San Francisco.  Opaque eyes were transformed into functioning organs, appearing normal as the cultured adult stem cells grew and became healthy corneal tissue

Research on Stem Cell therapies are still in the infancy stage

Author: stem cell guy

savvyPeople 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.

University of Utah’s Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Dr. Mario Capecchi successfully treats mental disorder with adult bone marrow stem cell transplant

Author: stem cell guy
Scientists were lead to the conclusion that the immune system has a direct correlation to behavior with the discovery of a lab mouse suffering from trichotillomania, a condition where one pulls their own hair out, was cured by a bone marrow transplant.  Traditionally these kinds of conditions were treated with drugs to alter the chemistry of the brain.
 
University of Utah’s Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Dr. Mario Capecchi tried a new approach on a lab mouse by treating it with a bone marrow transplant normally used on cancer patients.  Dr. Capecche’s team found that people and animals afflicted with behavior disorders have deformed microglia cells. So, instead of treating mental illness the way doctors traditionally have — with medication to alter brain chemistry — they tried a new approach by treating the immune system.
 
“Microglia , immune cells originating from adult stem cells in the bone marrow and migrate from the blood into the brain, were believed to be “scavenger cells” that would clean up damage in the brain, but are now believed that microglia are much more sophisticated and are actually controlling behavior and they do it by interacting with the nerve cells in your brain,” Capecchi says.
This discovery could offer hope to parents of children afflicted with behaviour disorders such as autism.

University of Virginia inventors develop inverted well plate technology to optimize adult stem cell growth for wound repair

Author: stem cell guy

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.

It is encouraging to see basic scientific research such as Dr. Katz is doing to unwravel the mechanisms of life and injury repair.  This author stands in awe of the body’s own ability to heal itself and under reasonably normal conditions maintain good health using its own adult bone marrow stem cell systems.  Christian Drapeau MSc, a visionary voice for the real world application of Adult Stem Cell Technology, and his team of researchers have discovered a more natural approach to increasing the number of adult stem cells without any laboratory test tubes or surgical intervention.  Stemtech Health Sciences Inc., the world’s first stem cell nutrition company, formed by Drapeau to extract, encapsulate and distribute to the general public a patented 5:1 concentration of a blue green algae know as Aphanizomenon flos aqua for a reasonable cost.  1 gram of this concentrate has been clinically proven to cause the body to release 3-4 million adult stem cells into circulation naturally within an hour of consumption.  It is a general scientific concensus that the more adult stem cells in circulation the better chance the body has of being in good health.

Mesosilver colloids enhance effect of adult stem cells in dealing with inflammatory neurological diseases

Author: stem cell guy
Adult neural stem cells are being studied by scientists from the University of California in Irvine to determine by what mechanism they are guided to areas of disease and distress caused by inflammatory neurological disease.  The recent article did not mention exactly what the researchers found but if one just understands that the body has the ability to heal itself and knows how to produce the right kind of cytokines that would attract the stem cells to the right location to affect the repair, they would know that scientists  are trying to identify the specific cytokine responsible.
 
What is not common knowledge about neurological inflammatory disease is that in many cases it is caused by a mycoplasma bacterial infection which causes the delamination of the myelin sheath on the nerves.  Many afflicted suffers have found that meso-silver colloids are effective in eliminating the infection.  To accelerate the bodies rejuvenation many have turned to consuming a dietary supplement comprised of a 5:1 concentration of a blue green algae called Aphanizomenon flos aqua  from Klamath Lake Oregon available directly from the manufacturer, Stemtech Health Sciences Inc, the world’s first stem cell nutrition company.
