Adult Stem Cell Physiology
Supporting Bone Marrow Adult Stem Cell Release Naturally
to Stimulate Healing in Humans and Animals Scientific developments have revealed that adult stem cells derived
from the bone marrow, travel throughout the body, and act to support optimal
organ and tissue function. As you 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 Nutrition from aqua-botanical extract are
equally important to support stem cells in maintaining proper organ and
tissue functioning in the body. Stem Cell Enhancer has shown to trigger
the release of millions of adult stem cells from the bone marrow very quickly.
These stem cells can then migrate and attach to any cells, tissue, bone,
muscle, cartilage, organ...anywhere in the body needing repair. Once they
attach, they become that tissue and multiply 3 to 5000 times.

source, has shown to trigger the release of millions of adult
stem cells from the bone marrow very quickly. These stem cells can then
migrate and attach to any cells, tissue, bone, muscle, cartilage, organ
anywhere in the body needing repair. Once they attach, they become that

to an organ, compounds are released that reach the bone marrow and trigger
the release of stem cells. Stem Cells can be thought of as “master” cells.
Stem cells circulate and function to replace dysfunctional cells, thus
fulfilling the natural process of maintaining optimal health
When Christian Drapeau first posited that Adult Stem Cells were the
very foundation of the body's natural healing system, scientific study
in the field was in its infancy. His hypothesis that Adult Stem Cells,
created by bone marrow, flowed to any tissue or organ needing regeneration
and morphed into healthy cells of that location, was initially ridiculed
by medical science. Since 2006 however, and at a geometrically increasing
pace, Christian Drapeau's position gained not just momentum but widespread
interest in scientific circles as study after study reveals that Adult
Stem Cell science holds phenomenal promise in all areas of human healing.
The
release of stem cells from the bone marrow after consumption of
Stem
Cell Enhancer has been clearly evidenced by more than 150 experiments,
and such effect has been clearly demonstrated in a double-blind study that
has been submitted for publication and shall be published soon. The health
benefits of having more stem cells in the blood circulation have been demonstrated
by numerous scientific studies. It would be too long here to summarize
this vast body of scientific data. I simply suggest you research the work
of Dr. Donald Orlic at the NIH.
Christian's theory that Adult Stem Cells are nothing less than the human
body's natural healing system has profound implications for every area
of modern medicine. The idea that heart disease, diabetes, liver degeneration,
and other conditions could be things of the past is no longer science fiction;
because of recent Adult Stem Cell research breakthroughs, these are real
possibilities in the short term.
Stem cells are defined as cells with the unique
capacity to self-replicate throughout the entire life of an organism and
to differentiate into cells of various tissues. Most cells of the body
are specialized and play a well-defined role in the body. For example,
brain cells respond to electrical signals from other brain cells and release
neurotransmitters; cells of the retina are activated by light, and pancreatic
ß-cells produce insulin. These cells, called somatic cells, will
never differentiate into other types of cells or even proliferate. By contrast,
stem cells are primitive cells that remain undifferentiated until they
receive a signal prompting them to become various types of specialized
cells.
The
Stem Cell Theory of Renewal The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal proposes that stem cells are naturally
released by the bone marrow and travel via the bloodstream toward tissues
to promote the body’s natural process of renewal. When an organ is subjected
to a process that requires renewal, such as the natural
aging process, this organ releases compounds that trigger the release of
stem cells from the bone marrow. The organ also releases compounds that
attracts stem cells to this organ. The released stem cells then follow
the concentration gradient of these compounds and leave the blood circulation
to migrate to the organ where they proliferate and differentiate into cells
of this organ, supporting the natural process of renewal. Stem
Cell Enhancer is available in countries around the world
Most of the cells in the human body are specialists assigned to a specific
organ or type of tissue, such as the neuronal cells that wire the brain
and central nervous system. Stem cells are different. When they divide,
they can produce either more stem cells, or they can serve as progenitors
that differentiate into specialized cells as they mature. Hence the name,
because specialist cells can "stem" from them. The potential to differentiate
into specialist cells whose populations in the body have become critically
depleted as the result of illness or injury is what makes stem cells so
potentially valuable to medical research. The idea is that if the fate
of a batch of stem cells could be directed down specific pathways, they
could be grown, harvested, and then transplanted into a problem area. If
all went according to plan, these new cells would overcome damaged or diseased
cells, leading to healing and recovery. "The life of a stem cell can be
viewed as a hierarchical branching process, where the cell is faced with
a series of fate switches," Schaffer says. "Our goal is to identify the
cell fate switches, and then provide stem cells with the proper signals
to guide
them down a particular developmental trajectory."
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop
into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair
system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish
other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem
cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell
or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as
a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the
potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with
a more specialised function. Scientists believe it should be possible to
harness this ability to turn stem cells into a super "repair kit" for the
body. Theoretically, it should be possible to use stem cells to generate
healthy tissue to replace that either damaged by trauma, or compromised
by disease. Among the conditions which scientists believe may eventually
be treated by stem cell therapy are Parkinson's
disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease,
stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal
cord damage. The
Stem Cell Theory of Renewal: Demystifying the Most Dramatic Scientific
Breakthrough of Our Time
The National Health Institute lists seventy-four treatable diseases
using ASCs in therapy - an invasive and costly procedure of removing the
stem cells from one’s bone marrow (or a donor’s bone marrow) and re-injecting
these same cells into an area undergoing treatment. For example, this procedure
is sometimes done before a cancer patient undergoes radiation. Healthy
stem cells from the bone marrow are removed and stored, only to be re-inserted
after radiation into the area of the body in need of repair. This is a
complex and expensive procedure, not accessible to the average person.
However, there is now a way that every single person, no matter what their
health condition, can have access to the benefits of enhancing their body’s
innate ability to repair every organ and tissue using stem cell nutrition. Stem

Stem Cell Enhancer is a blend of two compounds
extracted from the aquatic botanicalAphanizomenon
Flos-Aquae (AFA). One extract, which contains an L-selectin ligand,
supports the release of stem cells (CD34+ cells) from the bone marrow.
The other extract, a polysaccharide-rich fraction named Migratose, may
support the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues.

David A. Prentice, Ph.D. - "Within just
a few years, the possibility that the human body contains cells that can
repair and regenerate damaged and diseased tissue has gone from an unlikely
proposition to a virtual certainty. Adult stem cells have been isolated
from numerous adult tissues, umbilical cord, and other non-embryonic
sources, and have demonstrated a surprising ability for transformation
into other tissue and cell types and for repair of damaged tissues. This
paper will examine the published literature regarding the identity
of adult stem cells and possible mechanisms for their observed differentiation
into tissue types other than their tissue of origin. Reported data from
both human and animal studies will be presented on the various tissue sources
of adult stem cells and the differentiation and repair abilities for each
source, especially with regards to current and potential therapeutic treatments.
A new U.S. study involving mice suggests the brain's
own stem cells may have the ability to restore memory after an injury.
These neural stem cells work by protecting existing cells and promoting
neuronal connections. In their experiments, a team at the University of
California, Irvine, were
able to bring the rodents' memory back to healthy levels up to three months
after treatment. The finding could open new doors for treatment of brain
injury, stroke and dementia, experts say.
"This is one of the first reports that you can
take a stem cell transplantation approach and restore memory," said lead
researcher Mathew Blurton-Jones, a postdoctorate fellow at the university.
"There is a lot of awareness that stem cells might be useful in treating
diseases that cause loss of motor function, but this study shows that they
might benefit memory in stroke or traumatic brain injury, and potentially
Alzheimer's disease."
In the study, published in the Oct. 31 issue of
the Journal of Neuroscience, Blurton-Jones and his colleagues used genetically
engineered mice that naturally develop brain lesions. The researchers destroyed
cells in a brain area called the hippocampus. These cells are known to
be vital to memory formation and it is in this region that neurons often
die after injury, the researchers explained. To test the mice's memory,
Blurton-Jones's group conducted place and object recognition tests with
both healthy mice and brain-injured mice.
Healthy mice remembered their surroundings about
70 percent of the time, while brain-injured mice remembered it only 40
percent of the time. For objects, healthy mice recalled objects about 80
percent of the time, but injured mice remembered them only 65 percent of
the time. The researchers then injected each mouse with about 200,000 neural
stem cells. They found that mice with brain injuries that received the
stem cells now remembered their surroundings about 70 percent of the time
-- the same as healthy mice. However, mice that didn't receive stem cells
still had memory deficits.
The researchers also found that in healthy mice
injected with stem cells, the stem cells traveled throughout the brain.
In contrast, stem cells given to injured mice lingered in the hippocampus.
Only about 4 percent of those stem cells became neurons, indicating that
the stem cells were repairing existing cells to improve memory, rather
than replacing the dead brain cells, Blurton-Jones's team noted. The researchers
are presently doing another study with mice stricken with Alzheimer's.
"The initial results are promising," Blurton-Jones said. "This has a huge
potential, but we have to be cautious about not rushing into the clinic
too early."
One expert is optimistic about the findings. "Putting
in these stem cells could eventually help in age-related memory decline,"
said Dr. Paul R. Sanberg, director of the Center of Excellence for Aging
and Brain Repair at the University of South Florida College of Medicine.
"There is clearly a therapeutic potential to this."
Sanberg noted that for the process to work with Alzheimer's it has to work
with older brains. "There is clearly therapeutic potential in humans, but
there are a lot of hurdles to overcome," he said. "This is another demonstration
of the potential for neural stem cells in brain disorders.".
Dr.
Nancy White Ph.D.- " I've always been interested in health generally
and in particular the brain, focusing on the balance of neurotransmitters.
I often do quantitative EEG's for assessment of my patients. I'm impressed
with the concept of a natural product like stem cell nutrition that could
help release adult stem cells from the bone mass where the body would have
no objection and no rejection. I've tried stem cell nutrition for general
health anti-aging. After taking it for a time, I fell more agile and my
joints are far more flexible. I was astounded while doing yoga that I was
suddenly able to bend over and touch my forehead to my knees. I haven’t
been able to do that comfortably in probably twenty years. I noticed how
much better my balance has become. I believe stem
cell nutrition is responsible for these effects, because I certainly
haven't been trained extensively in yoga. Also since taking stem cell nutrition,
I feel better and my skin is more moist and has a finer texture.
A bald
friend of mine, who is also taking the stem cell nutrition, had several
small cancers on top of his head. His doctor had removed one from his arm
already, and his dermatologist set a date to remove those from his scalp.
Before the appointment, my friend was shaving one morning and, looking
in the mirror, saw that the cancers were all gone. They had disappeared
within a few weeks of starting the stem cell nutrition and his skin is
better overall. Also, his knee, which he’d strained playing tennis, was
like new. Stem cell nutrition seems to go where the body's priority is.
You never know what the affect is going to be, but you notice something
is changing. Another friend of mine seems to be dropping years. Her skin
looks smoother and her face younger. After about six weeks on the stem
cell nutrition, she looks like she’s ten years younger. A woman who gives
her regular facials asked what she was doing, because her skin looked so
much different. Stem cell nutrition is remarkable and could help anybody.
Everybody should try it, because it’s natural and there are no risks. As
we grow older in years, we still can have good health. That’s the ideal.
Even if you don’t currently have a problem, stem cell nutrition is a preventative."

Dr.
Cliff Minter - "Stem cells are the most powerful cells in the
body. We know that stem cells, once they're circulating in the bloodstream,
will travel to any area of the body that has been compromised or damaged
and turn into healthy cells. There have been controversial discussions
about the new stem cells found in embryos, but the truth is that everyone
has adult stem cells in their own bodies. We are all created from stem
cells. As a child or a young adult, your body automatically releases stem
cells whenever you injure yourself. That's why you heal so fast when you
are younger. After about age 35, we don't heal as fast anymore, because
the stem cells aren't released the same way as when we are younger. Stem
cell nutrition helps all of us heal our bodies. If you look at the New
England Journal of Medicine, you'll find that the number one indicator
of a healthy heart is the number of stem cells circulating in the body.
Stem cell nutrition is the organic and all-natural way to stimulate the
bone marrow to release adult stem cells into the bloodstream.
By
taking stem cell nutrition, you can maintain optimum health and aid your
body in healing itself. It's certainly a better way to recuperate from
an illness than using prescription drugs, because even when a medication
works, it can often be hard on your liver and the rest of your body. Stem
cell nutrition has no negative side effects. This makes it a powerful approach
to healing and good health in general. I found out about stem cell nutrition
after someone asked for my opinion on it. I did some research and found
it to be one of the greatest ways to slow down aging that we have. Aging
is nothing more than the breakdown of cells. Stem cell nutrition combats
that action. As cells break down, stem cell nutrition replaces them with
healthy cells. This is the greatest, most natural anti-aging method I know.
I was skeptical at first, but the results I’ve personally seen in people
I’ve talked with have been wide-ranged. Lots of people have reported an
increase in energy and better sleeping patterns.
I've
seen people with arthritis in various parts of their bodies reverse the
disease, and people with asthma end up with their lungs totally clear.
One person that was on oxygen almost 24/7 is now totally off of oxygen.
Two ladies who suffered badly from PMS told me they were 100 percent symptom-free
within weeks of starting the stem cell nutrition. Two people I know had
“tennis elbow” which usually takes about six to nine months to heal. Within
weeks of taking stem cell nutrition, both report their "tennis elbow" is
gone. It makes sense, because stem cells go to whatever area is compromised
and turn into healthy cells.
I use
stem cell nutrition as a preventative. I've noticed an increase in my energy
level and an improved sleeping pattern. Stem cell nutrition has zero negative
side effects, is very powerful, and we know how it works. It's good for
children as well as adults. This is the best, most natural way I know to
optimum health. If you just want to use it for prevention, this is the
best thing I know for staying healthy. And if you do have health challenges,
it's the best way I know of overcoming those and regaining optimum health.
I recommend it to everybody." Dr. Cliff Minter

Fernando
Aguila, M.D. - "Due to a heavy patient load, I have recently found
that I tire more easily, my legs are cramping, and by the time I get home,
even my shoulders and rib cage hurt. I knew I had to find a way to increase
my stamina, energy and vitality. A friend gave me information about stem
cell nutrition and how it promotes the release of stem cells in the body.
One of the components apparently promotes the migration of the stem cells
to tissues or organs where regeneration and repair is needed most. My attention
was drawn to the fact that it can increase energy, vitality, wellness,
concentration, and much more. It sounded just like what I needed. Since
then, I've heard testimonials from others who have experienced significant
improvement in their painful arthritis. They claimed the paint had became
almost negligible. I heard about patients who regulated their diabetes,
blood pressure, and had improvements in cardiomyopathy, congestive heart
failure, and even myocardial infarctions. The improvements sounded dramatic.
Because of all of their testimonies, I was willing to believe it could
promote wellness in the human body.
I tried
stem cell nutrition myself. After a day, of hard work, I realized I wasn't
tired at all, my legs were not aching, and I didn't have any shoulder pain.
I decided the stem cell nutrition must be working. I continued to take
it, and was able to work so efficiently and steadily that one surgeon commented
that I was moving like a ball of fire. Stem cell nutrition gives me support
physically and mentally. I look forward to seeing what the major medical
journals have to say about the studies being done with this new approach
to wellness."

The
effect of Stem Cell Enhancer
on stem cells was tested in a triple-blind 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 Cell Enhancer or placebo. Thereafter,
blood samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after taking the consumables.
The number of circulating stem cells was quantified by analyzing the blood
samples using Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). Consumption of
Stem Cell Enhancer triggered a significant 25% increase in the number
of circulating stem cells. The effect lasts for a few hours. The recommended
dosage is therefore 2 capsules once or twice day, at least 6 hours apart.
Christian
Drapeau is America's best known advocate for Adult Stem Cell science
health applications and the founder of the field of Stem Cell Nutrition.
He holds a BS in Neurophysiology from McGill University and a Master of
Science in Neurology and Neurosurgery from the Montreal Neurological Institute.
Stem
Cell Enhancer contains a polysaccharide fraction that was shown to
stimulate the migration of Natural
Killer (NK) cells out of the blood into tissues. The same polysaccharide
fraction was also shown to strongly stimulate the activation of NK cells.
NK cells play the very important role in the body of identifying aberrant
or defective cells and eliminating them. NK cells are especially known
for their ability to detect and destroy virally infected cells and cells
undergoing uncontrolled cellular division. The same polysaccharide fraction
was also shown to stimulate macrophageactivity.
Macrophages constitute the front line of the immune system. They first
detect an infection or the presence of bacteria or virally infected cells,
and they then call for a full immune response. Adult Stem Cell Nutritional
Enhancer also contains a significant concentration of chlorophyll
and phycocyanin, the blue pigment in AFA. Phycocyanin
has strong anti-inflammatory properties and therefore can assist the immune
system.
The release of stem cells from the bone marrow
and their migration to tissues is a natural process that happens everyday.
Stem
Cell Enhancer simply supports that natural process and tips the balance
toward health everyday. It does not do anything that the body does not
already do everyday. So far, no instances of cancer or any similar problem
have ever been observed when using in vivo natural release of stem cells
from the bone marrow.
Each day, stem cells in the bone marrow evolve
to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These mature
cells are then released into the bloodstream where they perform their vital
life-supporting functions. When bone marrow stem cell activity is interfered
with, diseases such as anemia (red blood cell deficit), neutropenia (specialized
white blood cell deficit), or thrombocytopenia (platelet deficit) are often
diagnosed. Any one of these conditions can cause death if not corrected.
Scientists have long known that folic acid, vitamin
B12, and iron are required for bone marrow stem cells to differentiate
into mature red blood cells.3-7 Vitamin D has been shown to be crucial
in the formation of immune cells,8-11 whereas carnosine has demonstrated
a remarkable ability to rejuvenate cells approaching senescence and extend
cellular life span.12-28
Other studies of foods such as blueberries show
this fruit can prevent and even reverse cell functions that decline as
a result of normal aging.29-36 Blueberry extract has been shown to increase
neurogenesis in the aged rat brain.37,38 Green tea compounds have been
shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells, while possibly providing protection
against normal cellular aging.39,40
Based on these findings, scientists are now speculating
that certain nutrients could play important roles in maintaining the healthy
renewal of replacement stem cells in the brain, blood, and other tissues.
It may be possible, according to these scientists, to use certain nutrient
combinations in the treatment of conditions that warrant stem cell replacement
These studies demonstrate for the first time that
various natural compounds can promote the proliferation of human bone marrow
cells and human stem cells. While these studies were done in vitro, they
provide evidence that readily available nutrients may confer a protective
effect against today’s epidemic of age-related bone marrow degeneration.
Dr. Robert Sampson, MD
on stem cell nutrition - "... we have a product that has been shown and
demonstrated in the patent to increase the level of adult circulating stem
cells by up to 30%. It seems to me we're having a great opportunity here
to optimize the body's natural ability to create health."
Recent
scientific developments have revealed that stem cells derived from the
bone marrow, travel throughout the body, and act to support optimal organ
and tissue function. Nutritional
Stem Cell Enhancer supports the natural role of adult stem cells. Adult
Stem Cell Enhancer is derived from a phytoceutical aqua botanical all natural
organic algae..
The human brain consists of an estimated 10 trillion
individual neurons or nerve cells, each intricately interconnected with
thousands of its neighbours via tendril-like projections called dendrites.
The basic circuitry of the central nervous system - the brain and the spinal
cord - is already in place when we are born. For most of this century,
scientists believed that the number of neurons in the central nervous system
is essentially fixed at birth, and that neurons are not renewed or replaced
in an individual's lifetime. Folk wisdom tells us our brains begin to die
from the moment we are born - we begin to lose neurons in our late teens,
and the rate of loss accelerates as we age. It is now clear that both scientific
and folk wisdom were wrong. In the early 1990s, a team led by Dr Bartlett
at the Hall Institute made a seminal discovery: the mammalian brain is
not static, but possesses a self-renewing population of neuronal stem cells
capable of dividing and forming new neurons. The most exciting implication
of their discovery is that it might one day be possible to repair brains
damaged by stroke, or by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's
disease, motor neuron disease or Parkinson's
disease
The possibility that a decline in the numbers
or plasticity of stem cell populations contributes to aging and age-related
disease is suggested by recent findings. The remarkable plasticity of stem
cells suggests that endogenous or transplanted stem cells can be ‘tweaked’
in ways that will allow them to replace lost or dysfunctional cell populations
in diseases ranging from neurodegenerative and hematopoietic disorders
to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
As you 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 Enhancer is equally important to support your stem cells
in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your body.
When you take two capsules of the Stem Cell Enhancer
product, the ingredients help to support the release of stem cells from
the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Through a natural process,
those stem cells then travel to areas of the body where they are most needed.
Effectiveness of th Stem Cell Enhancerwas demonstrated in a triple-blind
study. Volunteers rested for one hour before establishing baseline levels.
After the first blood samples, volunteers were given Stem
Cell Enhancer or placebo. Thereafter, blood samples were taken at 30,
60 and 120 minutes after taking the consumables. The number of circulating
stem cells was quantified by analyzing the blood samples using Fluorescence-Activated
Cell Sorting (FACS). Consumption of Stem Cell Enhancer triggered a significant
25-30% increase in the number of circulating stem cells. The effect lasts
for a few hours. The recommended dosage is therefore 2 capsules once or
twice day, at least 6 hours apart.
A fundamental breakthrough in our understanding
of nervous system development was the identification of multipotent neural
stem cells (neurospheres) about ten years ago. Dr. Weiss and colleagues
showed that EGF (epidermal growth factor) dependent stem cells could be
harvested from different brain regions at different developmental stages
and that these could be maintained over multiple passages in vitro. This
initial finding has lead to an explosion of research on stem cells, their
role in normal development and their potential therapeutic uses. Many investigators
have entered this field and the progress made has been astounding.
Stem Cell Enhancer, from aqua-botanical
extract, has shown to trigger the release of millions of stem cells
from the bone marrow very quickly. These stem cells can then migrate and
attach to any cells, tissue, bone, muscle, cartilage, organ anywhere in
the body needing repair. Once they attach, they become that tissue and
multiply 3 to 5000 times. When there is an injury or a stress to an organ
of your beloved pet or horse, compounds are released that reach the bone
marrow and trigger the release of stem cells. Stem Cells can be thought
of as “master” cells. Stem cells circulate and function to replace
dysfunctional cells, thus fulfilling the natural process of maintaining
optimal health.
As they do in humans, adult stem cells reside
in animals bone marrow, where they are released whenever there is a problem
somewhere in the body. Looking back on stem cell research, we realize that
most studies have been done with animals, mostly mice, but also with dogs,
horses, pigs, sheep and cattle. These studies have revealed that animal
stem cells conduct themselves the same way human stem cells do. When there
is an injury or a stress to an organ of your beloved pet or horse, compounds
are released that reach the bone marrow and trigger the release of stem
cells. The stem cells then travel to tissues and organs in need of help
to regain optimal health.
EQUINE
STEM CELL NUTRITION Eve-Marie Lucerne (Testimonial in Healthspan
Magazine, Spring 2007) - Eve-Marie keeps nine horses, “all older thoroughbreds,”
and was eager to participate in the trials of the new stem cell enhancer
for horses. She shared her allotment of test products with a few large
commercial thoroughbred farms, veterinarians and other “horse people” she
knows, and has been pleased with the consistently excellent results she
has seen and others have reported to her. “This product will help so many
animals,” she says, adding, “People and animals are more alike than we
are different. So it makes sense that a stem cell enhancer for animals
with promote their health, too.”
Eve-Marie’s pet product trials show dramatic results.
“For several horses facing serious physical challenges, cases where the
animals might have to be put down, we saw a return to quality of life.
This did not happen before Equine Stem Cell Nutrition.” Eve-Marie says
that this turnaround was quick, less than two weeks in many cases, and
that the subject horses were back to health and enjoying pasture life within
a month. One of the unofficial trial subjects for the equine stem cell
nutrition was a 30-year old donkey who was in “bad shape,” Eve-Marie reports.
“He had chronic respiratory difficulty and could move about only haltingly”.
His owner had StemEnhance to help with her own serious health challenges
and shared it with the donkey. “The donkey’s owner says this is the first
time she wasn’t sick, and her donkey is walking all around, feeling great
an enjoying life again!”
Farrier and National Hoof practitioner Stephen
Dick received some of the trial product from Eve-Marie, and had good results
with the two horses he selected for trial. For a 12-year-old quarterhorse
stallion, the equine product brought dramatic results. “This horse used
to lie down twenty-two hours of the day, because he suffered discomfort
whenever he stood,” Steve reports, continuing, “after a couple of weeks
with Equine Stem Cell Nutrition, he was getting up and moving around, showing
no discomfort.” For a high-spirited mare with a leg problem, the equine
product brought about a whole new lease on life, Steve says. “This horse
had been in a stall for 8 months. After about 6 weeks taking the equine
product with her grain, her condition had improved and she was out of the
stall, walking around in the pasture again.” Steve says that the mare’s owner
was so impressed with her results her horse received with the equine product
that she began taking StemEnhance herself for an inflammatory problem that
had kept her in misery for a long time. Within weeks, the owner’s discomfort
was gone, and Steve had acquired a new customer for both of StemTech’s
great products!
Little Joe, a small 18-year-old quarterhorse that
Judy Fisher bought when he was nearly 400 pounds underweight. “You could
count his ribs,” Judy says, remembering, “and his backbone stuck up like
a ridge all along his back. He was very, very thin!” Little Joe also suffered
from breathing problems that kept him lethargic and inactive. Vet-recommended
remedies were unsuccessful in changing Little Joe’s physical problems,
and the vet told Judy he didn’t expect Little Joe to live through the winter.
“I figured Little Joe was in such bad shape that anything was worth a try,”
she says. She began giving the horse stem cell nutrition with his feed
and grain twice a day. Within a couple of weeks, Judy was surprised to
see Little Joe beginning to gain weight and run, buck, snort and kick.
His breathing was no longer labored and his skin and coat were improving.
Within six weeks Little Joe’s overall appearance had changed dramatically.
He had put on almost 300 pounds. “When his former owner came to visit,”
Judy says, “he didn’t recognize Little Joe. That’s how different he looked!”
Sara participated in the stem cell nutrition product
trials with her two horses and her 80-pound mixed-breed dog. She noted
significant improvement in the health and quality of life for all three
animals during the time of the trials. For JJ, Sara’s 18-year old quarterhorse,
the equine product brought about improvements in his overall mood, appearance
and alertness quickly. “He really liked the product from the beginning,”
Sara reports, pointing out that Hank, her 16-year-old thoroughbred/quarterhorse,
had not taken to the taste of it too readily. “I was able to slowly wean
him on it though,” she says. For Hank, the equine product was a balm for
the skin problems resulting from his allergy to fly bites. “His skin condition
improved dramatically.” Sara reports, noting that before the equine product
the horse had scratched and bitten himself into ope wounds; after the equine
product, the scratching and biting dropped off to almost nothing. Sara
also noticed an increase in Hank’s energy and liveliness in the first week
on the equine product. The horse’s foot and hip discomforts also responded
well, leading to a noticeable increase in his mobility and an overall improvement
in his quality of life throughout the two-month study. Sare gave the pet
product to her dog, Roxy, who had suffered for two years with ear problems
that led to scratching, often until her skin was raw. Vet-recommended remedies
had been “temporary, quick-fixes,” Sara says, but the discomfort always
returned “with a vengeance.” For the pet trials, Sara gave Roxy two tabs
of the product a day for two months, noting “this is the only supplement
she was getting.” Sara says “Roxy’s problem with her ears definitely improved,
the hair as grown back on her head and ears, and the ear problem has not
recurred,” adding that Roxy is “happier and engaging, more playful.”
Sonya had originally planned to use only her six-year-old
Doberman Pinscher, Ginger, as a test subject for the pet product to see
if the product could help with discomfort in her hips that had limited
her mobility. That was until the day when Sonya’s 14-year-old Irish Setter/Lab,
Rowdy, took it upon himself to scarf up some large crumbs from Ginger’s
test dose of the pet product. Before dining on Ginger’s leftovers, Rowdy
was best characterized as the “lazy dog” type, very lethargic “and he never
left my side,” Sonya reports. The first day with the pet product, Rowdy
“found the puppy in himself again,” says Sonya “and wanted to stay out
all night, tracking who-knows-what, but having a great time.” Sonya added
Rowdy to her trial regimen and says that only two-three trial chewables
made the difference in Rowdy’s energy level, returning him to youthful
activity. Meanwhile, the original trial subject, Ginger, has a new life
and is able to keep up with 2-year-old Norwich Terrier mix Scrappy for
the first time ever. Ginger has regained her ability to run at top speeds,
and is able to dig for hours with Scrappy. Previously unable to get up
from a prone position without some difficulty, Ginger now leaps to standing
or chasing positions without a moment’s hesitation. “ Stem Cell Nutrition
for dogs has helped both of my big dogs to have their youth back,” Sonya
reports, adding “I am a real believer in the canine product, as it has
provided a spectacular change in both Ginger and Rowdy.
For dogs, depending on the size of your companion,
you simply give half or one full tablet, which has a tasty dried beef and
liver meal flavor. For horses, to the animal’s daily grain you add
one scoop of scrumptious molasses based Stem Cell Enhancer.

Stem cell enhancer for dogs, horses and other
animals are specially formulated to be a delectable treat for your animal.
The pet chewables and equine blends make it easy to provide your animals
with this valuable nutritional supplement. The most common story is that
of old, tired and sluggish dogs turned — within a week or so — into active,
alert dogs running around like puppies. The same was observed in horses.
Old horses who used to remain standing in the barn or under a tree, sluggish
or stricken by too much discomfort to walk around, suddenly began moving
about, and at times running and bucking like young colts. One of the most
common reports was obvious improvements in hoof health and coat appearance. Stem

The main research focus of my laboratory is to
develop and integrate chemical and functional genomic tools to study stem
cell biology and regeneration. Over the past few years, we have constructed
large combinatorial chemical libraries (>100,000 small molecules) and arrayed
cDNA (>30,000 human and mouse genes) and RNAi (targeting over 16,000 human
and mouse genes with more than three designed sequences per gene) libraries.
Furthermore we have developed and implemented high throughput cellular
screens of these libraries to identify small molecules and genes which
can control stem cell fate in various systems (including pluripotent embryonic
stem cells, multipotent adult neural stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells,
and lineage-restricted somatic cells), as well as modulate specific signaling
pathways. Moreover, biochemical and cellular studies, including genome-wide
expression analysis using Affymetrix microarrays, affinity chromatography
for target identification, and cDNA and/or RNAi complementation screens
to map signaling pathway, are being used to characterize the molecular
mechanism of these identified small molecules and genes. Those studies
may ultimately facilitate the therapeutic application of stem cells and
the development of small molecule drugs to stimulate tissue and organ regeneration
in vivo.
Individuals with a rare, inherited neurological
disorder called Williams Syndrome
suffer from mental retardation and an inability to visualise objects mentally
- when asked to describe an everyday object such as a bus in their "mind's
eye", for example, they may see it as a disconnected set of features, like
scattered fragments of a jigsaw puzzle.
Williams Syndrome, which appears to be caused
by mis-wiring of the brain during embryonic development, has been genetically
linked to the loss of a gene called LIMK1. Consistent with its role in
a neurological disorder, the LIMK1 protein is expressed chiefly in nerve
cells, but is also present in the nuclei and cytoplasm of most other cells.
Dr Ora Bernard has found that the loss of both copies of LIMK1 from the
genome of mice results in the death of the mutant embryos. In Williams
Syndrome, only one locus of LIMK1 has been lost - usually, two copies of
every gene are present in the genome, one from each parent.
Dr Bernard and her collaborators have recently
discovered that LIMK1 is intimately involved in the regulation of the actin
cytoskeleton. This cellular organelle is one part of the apparatus that
helps cells assume shapes appropriate for their environment; the other
is the tubulin cytoskeleton. The two cytoskeletal systems are also required
for the locomotion of cells, their division and for making cell to cell
connections, roles of great importance in the way cells respond to their
environmen more
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling
neurological disease of the central nervous system (CNS) - the brain and
spinal cord. It involves the degeneration of the fatty myelin sheath that
surrounds neurons in the CNS. The myelin sheath, produced by specialised
cells called oligodendrocytes, normally facilitates transmission of nerve
impulses in the CNS by electrically insulating nerves from the surrounding
environment. In MS, patches of scar tissue form and may permanently impair
nerve transmission. Multiple sclerosis is currently incurable, and its
cause is unknown. It has traditionally been regarded as an autoimmune disorder,
like insulin dependent diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. But that view
is now under question, according to Dr Trevor Kilpatrick.
Dr Kilpatrick says that while MS appears to have
an auto-immune component, it may be a secondary phenomenon
- a sequel to a more fundamental cause. A pointer to this possibility,
he says, is that immunosuppressive drugs like cyclosporin, cyclophosphamide
and azothioprine, which can alleviate rheumatoid arthritis and slow the
onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, are ineffective therapies
for multiple sclerosis.
Greater number of circulating stem

Stem
Cell Enhancer is naturally derived from nutritional food supplement,
(aquatic botanical extract) which supports wellness by assisting the body
in its ability to maintain healthy stem cell physiology, production, and
placement. Just as antioxidants are important to protect your cells from
“free radical” damage, Stem Cell Enhancer is equally important to support
your stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your
body. Stem Cell Enhancer is a breakthrough, natural botanical extract that
supports wellness by helping your body maintain healthy stem cell physiology.
It is the very first product on the market from the latest phytoceutical
product category called “Stem Cell Enhancer”.
The
Proteus Effect: Stem Cells and Their Promise for Medicine Arguably
the most exciting, promising and controversial medical research being performed
today explores the potential of stem cells, unique cells that, when dividing,
can produce either more cells like themselves or other specialized cells,
such as heart cells, skin cells and neurons. Stem cells research is bringing
the promise of regenerative medicine and miracle cures for such conditions
as multiple sclerosis, blindness, heart damage and male pattern baldness.
Blood Stem cells: 25 Trillion blood cells exist in the blood and every
second 2 million blood cells die and are replaced. Researcher found
that mice with defective bone marrow (damaged by radiation) could be restored
by translates of marrow stem cells injected directly in the blood. The
bone marrow transplant in essence restored the bone marrow stem cells to
functional and normal status.
Stem
Cell Research is aimed at the potential that certain types of cells,
called stem cells, have for regenerating damaged tissue in the body. A
stem cell is capable of developing into other types of cells, like liver
cells, heart cells, etc. Current medical research is focused on two particular
types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Of the
three types of stem cells, two are able to develop into any type of cell
within the human body. These two are called totipotent and pluripotent.
The third type of stem cell is more limited in it's potential and can only
develop into a small number of other types of cells. Stem cells can be
thought of as "master cells". You've probably heard about the controversy
of embryonic stem cells in the news. Stem cells are found in human embryos,
umbilical cords (mothers can donate their cords for this purpose) but are
also found in adult tissue. Adult stem cells are most abundantly found
in bone marrow. Stem cells circulate and function to replace dysfunctional
cells, thus fulfilling the natural process of maintaining optimal health.What

Frequently
Asked Questions
How
does an increase in the number of circulating stem cells lead to optimal
health? Circulating
stem cells can reach various organs and become cells of that organ, helping
such organ regain and maintain optimal health. Recent studies have suggested
that the number of circulating stem cells is a key factor; the higher the
number of circulating stem cells the greater is the ability of the body
at healing itself. Scientific interest in adult stem cells has centered
on their ability to divide or self-renew indefinitely, and generate all
the cell types of the organ from which they originate, potentially regenerating
the entire organ from a few cells. Adult stem cells are already being
used clinically to treat many diseases. These include as reparative treatments
with various cancers, autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis, lupus
and arthritis, anemias including sickle cells anemia and immunodeficiencies.
Adult stem cells are also being used to treat patients by formation of
cartilage, growing new corneas to restore sight to blind patients, treatments
for stroke, and several groups are using adult stem cells to repair damage
after heart attacks. Early clinical trials have shown initial success in
patient treatments for Parkinsons disease and spinal cord injury.
The first FDA approved trial to treat juvenile diabetes in human patients
is ready to begin at Harvard Medical School, using adult stem cells. An
advantage of using adult stem cells is that in most cases, the patients
own stem cells can be used for the treatment, circumventing the problems
of immune rejection, and without tumor formation.
Why
do we hear much in the news about embryonic stem cells and very little
about adult stem cells? The
first human embryonic stem cells were grown in vitro, in a petri dish,
in the mid 1990s. Rapidly, scientists were successful at growing them for
many generations and to trigger their differentiation into virtually any
kind of cells, i.e. brain cells, heart cells, liver cells, bone cells,
pancreatic cells, etc. When scientists tried growing adult stem cells,
the endeavor was met with less success, as adult stem cells were difficult
to grow in vitro for more than a few generations. This led to the idea
that embryonic stem cells have more potential than adult stem cells. In
addition, the ethical concerns linked to the use of embryonic stem cells
have led to a disproportionate representation of embryonic stem cells in
the media. But recent developments over the past 2-3 years have established
that adult stem cells
have capabilities comparable to embryonic stem cells in the human body,
not in the test tube. Many studies have indicated that simply releasing
stem cells from the bone marrow can help support the body’s natural process
for renewal of tissues and organs.
The
bone marrow constantly produces stem cells for the entire life of an individual.
Stem cells released by the bone marrow are responsible for the constant
renewal of red blood cells and lymphocytes (immune cells). A 25-30% increase
in the number of circulating stem cells is well within physiological range
and does not constitute stress on the bone marrow environment. The amount
of active bone marrow amounts to about 2,600 g (5.7 lbs), with about 1.5
trillion marrow cells. A 25-30% increase in the number of circulating stem
cells triggered by the consumption of 1 gram of StemEnhancer corresponds
to approximately 3 million cells, which is a small portion of the stem
cells present in the bone marrow. Stem cells that do not reach any tissue
or become blood cells return to the bone marrow.
Effectiveness
of stem cell "enhancers" was demonstrated in a triple-blind study. Volunteers
rested for one hour before establishing baseline levels. After the first
blood samples, volunteers were given stem cell "enhancers"or placebo. Thereafter,
blood samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after taking the consumables.
The number of circulating stem cells was quantified by analyzing the blood
samples using Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). Consumption of
stem cell "enhancers" triggered a significant 25-30% increase in the number
of circulating stem cells. more...
Why
may Stem Cell Nutritional Enhancer be contraindicated for people on anticoagulant
therapy? One
gram
of Stem Cell nutritional Enhancer contains roughly half of the recommended
daily allowance in vitamin K. Vitamin K is an essential nutrient playing
an important role in the process of blood coagulation. However, when one
experiences cardiovascular problems, oftentimes doctors will elect to put
a one of anticoagulant therapy in order to prevent blood clot and make
it easier for the heart to pump blood through the body. Since vitamin K
promotes blood coagulation, it is customary to tell people to avoid vitamin
K while being on anticoagulant therapy. This being said, it is not so much
the presence of vitamin K in the diet as much as the consistency in the
daily intake. Therefore, the best approach is to discuss with your doctor
about your desire to take Stem Cell nutritional Enhancer, that it contains
vitamin K, and the anticoagulant prescription can be adjusted through careful
monitoring of your condition by your doctor.
Can
Stem Cell Enhancer be taken with other drugs? As
far as we have studied and researched, the only possible interaction is
with antidepressant medications, as Stem
Cell Enhancer contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound naturally
produced by the brain that affect dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
PEA is known for its effect on mood elevation and mental energy. Intereactions
with antidepressant medications have not been reported, but the possibility
exists. People should consult their doctor before taking Stem Cell Enhancer
if they are on antidepressant medication.
Has
any study shown that people improved their health as a result of taking
it? Numerous
empirical reports and testimonials testify to the health benefits of taking
Stem Cell Enhancer. Many companies have been shut down by the FDA because
of inferred health claims linked to documentation of improvements with
various diseases. We intend to maintain our message clearly within the
boundaries of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, and let
Stem Cell nutritional Enhancer speaks for itself. We would be delighted
to provide Mr. Barrett with a few bottles of Stem Cell Enhancer so he can
see the benefits on his own health.

Transfer
Factor Molecules And The Immune System Transfer
factors are tiny molecules found in colostrum which provide "immune knowledge"
from a mother's immune system to her baby used in recognizing and fighting
outside threats. By transferring information from cell to cell, transfer
factors serve as "teachers" to the new cells, ensuring a strong immune
system capable of surviving, even thriving, in its new environment. There
are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various forms
and sources of transfer factors. These molecules were first discovered
in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics,congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart
Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates
rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine
campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply
in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Shirley was once a victim
of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the medical establishment who
wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe
that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get
"well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. You can read an account
of Shirley's
journey into health without drugs, surgery or radiation.
Dr. Jimmy Gutman, M.D
- "Clinical evidence links low glutathione
levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging
diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally
associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Dr. Allan Somersall M.D
- "To raise glutathione levels is to
reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help
detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal
is clinically proven to do that in a safe, effective and convenient way."

The Truth
About the Drug Companies : How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It
"The medical establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose
main objective is profits, and whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic
of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this, anything
goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople
of the drug companies. " Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.
Raising
Public Awareness Most modern maladies are
caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and
toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides,
antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack
of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by
the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease"
and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against
them. more
