Adult Stem Cell Nutrition – Providing Not Just A Cry Of Hope But A Truly Revolutionary
At about the age of 35, the body begins to break down at a faster rate. One of the reasons for this decline in health is the reduction in the release of adult stem cells into the bloodstream, a supply that is readily available in your own bone marrow.
Stem cells are the very essence of life. When a sperm unites with an egg, the first cell created is a stem cell. Also known as “master cells,” a stem cell has the ability to differentiate into other types of cell tissue. This ability allows the stem cell to develop into many different types of cells as needed by the body and thus act to support optimal organ and tissue function. Does your heart need repair, skin, eyes, liver, stomach, brain? Stem cells have the ability to act as a repair system, rebuilding and restoring healthy functions and replenishing other cells while the body is alive. Initially, it was believed that only embryonic stem cells had the ability to become any type of cell in the human body, known as “pluripotent capabilities.” However, it has recently been discovered that adult stem cells may have that same powerful potential.
FOLLOW-UP OF AN ADULT STEM CELL
It was the discovery of a green fluorescent protein found in a jellyfish in the deep ocean that allowed scientists to advance their hypothesis that adult stem cells may have the same pluripotent abilities as embryonic stem cells. By isolating the DNA from the fluorescent protein and then injecting that same genetic code into adult stem cells in a laboratory, they were able to track their trafficking trends by seeing which parts of the body were illuminated with fluorescent dye.
In one such study, highly purified bone marrow stem cells were genetically engineered to produce this fluorescent protein. The mice’s stem cells were then removed by irradiation and the genetically modified stem cells were transplanted into their bone marrow, leaving only fluorescent bone marrow stem cells as the only source of stem cells available. Subsequently, cardiac arrest was triggered in the mice by the occlusion of the coronary artery. In less than two weeks, the engrafted fluorescent stem cells traveled through the bloodstream to heart muscle and differentiated into heart muscle and endothelial cells that contributed to the formation of functional heart tissue as well as new blood vessels.
Other studies revealed that adult stem cells were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and then differentiate into brain cells. The study authors wrote: “Our results clearly show that adult stem cells from the marrow can gain access to the adult brain and assume the characteristics of central nervous system neurons.”
Based on information collected by various scientific teams, Dr. Gitte Jensen recently proposed the Stem Cell Theory of Healing, Regeneration and Repair. This groundbreaking theory suggests that bone marrow stem cells migrate from the bone marrow and travel throughout the body, enabling healing and regeneration of damaged organs throughout an individual’s lifetime.
Through these studies we have gained remarkable insight into the natural healing mechanisms used by the human body for cell regeneration and repair produced by adult stem cells that are already abundantly present in the bone marrow. This concept led the company StemTech to develop a product that could enhance the body’s natural ability to release adult stem cells from the bone marrow.
INTRODUCTION TO STEM CELL NUTRITION
The National Institutes of Health lists 74 treatable diseases using ASC in therapy, an invasive and expensive procedure of extracting stem cells from bone marrow (or a donor’s bone marrow) and reinjecting these same cells into an area that undergoes to treatment. For example, this procedure is sometimes done before a cancer patient has radiation. Healthy bone marrow stem cells are removed and stored, only to be reinserted after radiation into the area of the body that needs repair. This is a complex and expensive procedure, not accessible to the average person. However, now there is a way that every person, regardless of their state of health, can access the benefits of enhancing their body’s innate ability to repair every organ and tissue using stem cell nutrition.
StemEnhance is the first product of its kind, creating a category of nutritional products known as “stem cell enhancers.” StemEnhance’s method of enhancing “stem cell trafficking” is protected by US Patent #6814961 issued to StemTech HealthSciences Inc. of Klamath Lake, Oregon, USA and a second patent is pending.
Dr. Christian Drapeau has pioneered research for the past two decades on cyanophta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), the key nutrient in StemEnhance responsible for the release and migration of millions of adult stem cells. AFA is an edible freshwater species of blue-green algae known to be one of the oldest and most nutritious foods on the planet. This simple organism is complete nutrition in its most basic form, providing the “building blocks of health.” StemEnhance not only promotes the rapid release of stem cells from the bone marrow, but also increases their ability to reach the damaged tissues that need them most by refining their localization mechanism. Although AFA grows in many other areas of the world, the biomass that accumulates in Kalamath Lake is unique in both its abundance and purity, and this is the harvest site for StemTech’s fresh supply of AFA.
Traditional health supplements nourish existing cells, not create new cells. When you take two StemEnhance capsules, the ingredients help support the release of millions of stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the number of stem cells circulating in the bloodstream is one of the best indicators of health.
StemEnhance is a mixture of two compounds that are extracted from AFA. These compounds are extracted using a proprietary process that does not use harsh chemicals or agents. One of the compounds, which contains the ligand L-selectin, blocks the receptors on stem cells that keep them anchored in the bone marrow, allowing them to enter the circulation. The second compound, called Migratose, is rich in polysaccharides and can promote the migration of stem cells out of the blood to the tissues and organs where they are most needed. These results were demonstrated in a triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted by Dr. Christian Drapeau. The results were quite dramatic. Volunteers remained for one hour before baseline levels were established. After the first blood samples, the volunteers received stem enhancers or a placebo.
Subsequently, 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 by fluorescence activated cell sorting. Consumption of stem enhancers led to an increase in the number of circulating stem cells, while consumption of placebo did not lead to any statistically notable effect. Within 60 minutes of consumption, a 25-30% increase in adult stem cells was measured. This translates to approximately 3.5 million additional circulating stem cells. This study confirmed that StemEnhance effectively supported the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. Through a natural process, those stem cells then travel in the bloodstream to the areas of the body where they are most needed.
MIGRATION OF ADULT STEM CELLS TO SITES IN POOR DIFFICULTY
Extensive research, led by Dr. Gitte S. Jensen, was recently conducted by the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada, into the effect of AFA on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as general blood physiology. The results were remarkable. Consuming AFA was found to have a profound and unique effect on natural killer cells. The results were published under the title “Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells,” IBC Library Series Chapter 3.1, Volume 1911, “Phytoceuticals: Examining the health benefit and pharmaceutical properties of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals”. Two hours after eating 1.5 grams of AFA, an average of 40% of blood natural killer cells (1 billion) left the bloodstream and migrated to tissues. They further found that, in some cases, the remaining natural killer cells in the bloodstream had two to three times more adhesion molecules than before the AFA was consumed. After a few hours, the natural killer cells returned to the bloodstream.
WHAT CAN STEM CELL NUTRITION DO FOR YOU?
StemEnhance is not a product based on anecdotal evidence (although notable stories add up quickly), but rather a collected body of evidence. We are all different, so the stories are quite dramatic and varied. The body knows what it needs just like these master cells. People who have difficulty moving due to joint pain are regaining their ability to walk as their cartilage is repaired. MS and Parkinson’s patients are noticing that accumulated damage is being repaired and symptoms are diminishing or disappearing. It is helping improve vision for some people because adult stem cells are involved in eye health. A woman who used to be plagued with frequent migraines hasn’t had a single one since she started StemEnhance. She can repair heart muscle, liver, digestive system, and definitely skin. StemEnhance supports brain function, improving clarity, focus, and mood. The results can be quite extraordinary.
When StemEnhance is used as a daily supplement over time, the stimulation of billions of additional stem cells in the bloodstream could be one of the safest and most efficient methods of maintaining optimal health that science has yet discovered.
