Introduction to Adult Stem Cells

I'm sure you've already heard about Stem Cells. Maybe you
saw a news story or a read a news article or saw the
Presidential address. They are the most widely publicized
scientific discovery today and with good reason. How about
Embryonic Stem Cells? They have created a great deal of
controversy and with good reason. The lure of what
Embryonic Stem Cells can do for our health has led to
ethical issues surrounding such things as embryo
harvesting. One thing remains, Stem Cells represent the
future of Health and Wellness as we know it. And they are
here to stay.

So what are they?

Stem Cells are master cells, meaning that they can generate
many, if not all, of the different tissues of the body.
They are with us our entire lives and are released
naturally from the bone marrow, but like everything else,
the process behind their release slows down with age. When
there aren't as many stem cells in the blood stream, the
body can't repair and renew itself as it once did. These
master cells are still contained in the bone marrow in the
millions, just not being released as they should.

As this natural release occurs we need to concern ourselves
with finding ways to reverse it. The good news is there are
4 things we can do.

Exercise - as we already know, regular exercise is vital to
good health Proper breathing - deep breathing oxygenates
the blood and tissues Good Nutrition - we need nutrients to
nourish and water to flush toxins from our cells Stem cell
enhancers - a new product category set to become what
antioxidants are today

Stem Cells are the only known source for rebuilding the
body and renewing health by restoring lost or degraded
cells. They have already been used to help treat things
such as Leukemia, AIDS, Alzheimer's Disease and multiple
sclerosis.

They have been used to form new cartilage, grow new corneas
to restore sight to the blind, as treatments for stroke
victims, and several groups are using adult stem cells with
patients to repair damage after heart attacks.

Early clinical trials have also shown initial success in
patient treatments for Parkinson's disease and spinal cord
injury. And, the first FDA-approved trial to treat juvenile
diabetes in human patients is ready to begin at Harvard
Medical School, using adult stem cells. In short, they are
the building blocks of life itself.

Adult versus Embryonic Stem Cells.

Adult Stem Cells is the term given to stem cells after
birth which means babies have adult stem cells in their
bodies. Embryonic stem cells are simply those from embryos
-- undifferentiated, or not developed into a specific cell
types. Research has shown that embryonic stem cells can
develop genetic abnormalities. This is not the case with
our own adult stem cells.

For this reason, researchers such as Kursad Turksen in his
book 'Adult Stem Cells' offer the following wisdom: "Adult
stem cell biology is at the forefront of the emerging field
of regenerative medicine, offering a source of cells to
generate tissues that lack some of the ethical and
political impediments inherent in embryonic, fetal, and
cloned cells."

The biggest advantage of using adult stem cells is that the
body's own stem cells can be used, effectively removing the
problems of immune rejection or abnormalities.

Adult stem cell science is real.

Adult stem cell research offers the best and clinically
proven treatments for a whole host of human diseases and
conditions and is helping people overcome these health
challenges as you read this article. There are currently
over 700 FDA approved clinical trials going on in the
United States using adult stem cells but none for embryonic
stem cells which is why the future of regenerative health
and wellness looks great with Adult stem cells.
