Additional Resources on Adult Stem Cells

The stem cell resources listed below - reports, audio, video, DVDs and more - provide the information you need to understand the significance and importance of adult stem cells to your health.

 <a href="http://www.herbalnutrition-for-naturalhealth.com/support-files/stemenhancereport.pdf" target="_blank"><B>Free report on Adult Stem Cell Research and Your Health</a>  [Rivka??]

Summary of report:

  • Basic introduction to what is a stem cell, and how our bodies use stem cells to repair and regenerate damaged tissue
  • List of scientific articles that explain how adult stem cells function<br>
  • Introduction to the stem cell company most important in helping you maintain optimal health NOW.

 

<a href="http://www.herbalnutrition-for-naturalhealth.com/support-files/primordialfood0105-new.pdf" target="_blank"><B><U>Primordial Food</U></B>, a book on the history of <I>Aphanizomenon flos-aquae </I>and StemEnhance</a> [Rivka??]

Written by the scientist who arguably knows more about AFA and StemEnhance than anyone else in the world, this short book provides a detailed overview of AFA components, biological effects, natural sources, and purification process.  It summarizes years of work by scientists from around the world in words that everyone can understand

<P><A HREF="http://www.herbalnutrition-for-naturalhealth.com/media-files/stemenhanceinfomercial.mp3"><B>Audio program on Adult Stem Cells and StemEnhance </a> [Rivka??]

Summary of program:

  • Introduction to embryonic and adult stem cells and stem cell research and why it is important to your health
  • Question and answer session with Christian Drapeau, who discovered the stem cell-enhancing properties of AFA and developed StemEnhance
  • Short interviews of people who have experienced benefits from taking StemEnhance
  • Brief overview of StemTech Health Sciences, the adult stem cell company that produces StemEnhance

Summary of program:

  • Listen to a 45 minute lecture by Christian Drapeau, Chief Science Officer for StemTech HealthSciences, as he discusses the history of StemEnhance development
  • summary of work from research labs around the world showing the basis of adult stem cell effects on tissue repair and regeneration
  • damaged tissue releases SDF-1, which attracts stem cells from the bone marrow; G-CSF stimulates the release of stem cells from the bone marrow
  • bone marrow derived stem cells have been shown to turn into new healthy cells of brain, bone, muscle, liver, pancreas, heart, and skin (so far)
  • Studies by Orlic at NIH on stem cells in cardiac repair in mice
  • One component in StemEnhance is an L-selectin ligand that releases adult stem cells/hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow; another component is a complex polysaccharide that facilitates the entry of stem cells into tissue
  • Werner et al. article in NEJM, Sept. 2005, showing level of circulating stem cells is one of the best predictors of cardiovascular health

Q&A [still a part of the above program? - Rivka??]

Q: G-CSF stimulates stem cells 100-200x over normal, compared to a 30% increase with StemEnhance: is this level significant?

A: Release with StemEnhance stimulates 3-4 million stem cells, more than a stem cell transplant done in Mexico with bovine stem cells (1.8 to 2.5 million stem cells); with a 1500 to 6000 x amplification factor, this number of stem cells has the potential to generate 20 billion new liver cells!

 

Q: Can StemEnhance deplete the bone marrow?

A: No; the increase in stem cells with StemEnhance is within the physiological range.  It takes you to the upper range of normal in helping to optimize health. One stem cell can reconstitute the entire hematopoietic system; up to 40% of stem cells in the liver can be stem cell derived.<p>

 

Q: Can I get the same effect on stem cell release by taking AFA?

A: Yes and No.  One would have to take half a bottle of AFA to get the same effects as with 2 capsules of StemEnhance.

 

Q: Do stem cells build up in the blood?

A: No, after 4-6 hours, if they are not used by a tissue, they are returned to the bone marrow.

 

Q: What is the (economic value –link to wealthbuilders homepage site [Rivka??]) of all this information?

A: Consider that there was a Presidential address on stem cells; nothing else on the marketplace has been the topic of such an address.

 

Q: Can StemEnhance cure disease?

A: The greater number of circulating stem cells equals greater health. We will leave it at that.

Free DVD on advances in embryonic and adult stem cell biology.

Summary of lectures: [is it a summary of the above DVD? - Rivka??]

From the Howard Hughes catalog describing these 2006 Holiday Lectures: "What are embryonic stem cells? Why are they potent? How do they differ from adult stem cells? Are embryonic development and regeneration intimately connected? In four presentations, Dr. Douglas A. Melton and Dr. Nadia Rosenthal discuss how stem cells may hold the key for curing diseases and unlocking the secrets of regeneration."

Comment: An excellent addition to the stem cell resources presented here, these annual lectures from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute are geared toward the general public and explain the day to day relevance of cutting edge scientific research. HHMI provides these DVDs free of charge to the public for educational purposes.
