Stem Cell Nutrition Stimulates Natural Healing in Humans and Animals
 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.  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 "Enhancers" nutritionals (from aquatic plant extract) are equally important to support your stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your body. Stem Cell Enhancers have 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. more

Stem Cell Enhancers

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. Stem Cell Enhancers naturally derived from nutritional food supplement, (aquatic botanical extract) supports the release of adult stem cells from bone marrow into circulation.   Just as antioxidants are important to protect your cells from “free radical” damage,  Stem Cell "Enhancers" (from aquatic plant extract)  are equally important to support your stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your body.
Supporting Bone Marrow Adult Stem Cell Release Naturally  - Helping Your Body Heal Itself

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.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."

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. 

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." more

A group, led by Paul Frenette, Associate Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, found that the sympathetic—or “fight or flight” branch—of the nervous system plays a critical role in coaxing bone marrow stem cells into the bloodstream. Bone marrow cells known as hematopoietic stem cells are the source for blood and immune cells. In normal individuals, the continuous trafficking of the stem cells between the bone marrow and blood fills empty or damaged niches and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cell formation, according to the researchers.

The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal proposes that stem cells are naturally released by the bone marrow and travel via the bloodstream toward cells in need. When an organ is subjected to a challenge, this organ releases compounds that trigger the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The organ also releases compound that attracts stem cells to this organ. The released stem cells then follow the concentration gradient of these compounds and leave to blood circulation to migrate in the organ where they proliferate and differentiate into cells of this organ.

Stem Cells Restore Memory in Mice
Experiments point to ways to treat injury, stroke and even Alzheimer's, experts say
By Steven Reinberg, HealthDay Reporter

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."



Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" is a blend of two compounds extracted from the aquatic botanical Aphanizomenon 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.

The effect of Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" 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 nutritional "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 nutritional "Enhancers" triggered a significant 25% increase in the number of circulating stem cells. One gram of Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" triggers a significant 25-35% 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. 

The release of stem cells from the bone marrow and their migration to tissues is a natural process that happens everyday. Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" simply supports that natural process and tips the balance toward health everyday. Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" 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. Triple-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study of the Effect of Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" on Bone Marrow Stem Cell Mobilization

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."

Birth, Life and Death of Neurons

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


Stem cells and aging: expanding the possibilities

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 "Enhancers" are 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 Enhancers 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 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 nutritional "Enhancers"rs 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. Recommended dose One gram of Stem Cell Enhancers triggers an average 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.

Mahendra S. Rao, M.D., Ph.D., 

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.


Cell Biology
Sheng Ding Ph.D  Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry

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.


Neuronal Miswiring - Williams Syndrome and LIMK1

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 - the odd one out?

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.

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.Essentials of Stem Cell Biology

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 are some different types of stem cells?

Glyconutrients and Stem Cell 

Dr. Reg McDaniel talks about first seeing new stem cells in the peripheral blood of clients using glyconutrients many years ago and not recognizing these cells as stem cells. They were 10 times the size of white blood cells and they were given the name "Gee" cells for some time as that's what Dr. Reg said when he observed these new cells that no one could identify! Now we have the tools to identify these cells appropriately as stem cells which can be used as "master keys" to move to places in the body as the body calls for. About a year ago there was an article in JAMA regarding the stem cells implants of male cells into female bodies of women with leukemia who had received a stem cell transplant. When these women died, male marked cells were found as neurons in the brain.

Dr. Reg realized that this might offer an explanation in the many children with fetal alcohol syndrome that were doing so well with the glyconutrients and others who had advanced so far beyond their perceived genetic limitations. He told the story of several adopted aboriginal children in Canada who had fetal alcohol syndrome who have done remarkably well, improving from IQ's estimated to be around 50 to levels around 100. One girl who had difficulties with reading and numbers and was in remedial classes after 3 years with glyconutrients was able to read a Harry Potter book in a week and discuss what she had read.

When they measure the before and after stem cell counts in the blood, virtually none are detectable prior to glyconutrieints. Within a week of giving glyconutrients, there are 200-400 stem cells seen in a microliter of blood with about 5-10 thousand white blood cells. If one extrapolates to the whole body, it is possible that there are 1.7-3 trillion new stem cells throughout our body as we add in glyconutrients. We're at the beginning of understanding all of what is possible with stem cells. There is an article in the June Scientific American if you want to read more about stem cells.

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton (a micro algae) contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides (glyconutrients)  can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  Learn more about Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton (micro algae)


Stem~Enhance in Veterinary Medicine

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. Stem~Pets and Stem~Equine are specially formulated stem cell enhancers created 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. For dogs, depending on the size of your companion, you simply give half or one full tablet of Stem~Pets, 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~Equine.

FAQ

What is the difference between Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) and Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers"? 
AFA is the whole plant, the whole food.  The AFA extracted polysaccharides that make up Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" are 100% natural, no chemical, and is cold processed.  The reason that a person would want to take the Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" in addition to the AFA is to create a greater movement of the bodys' own Stem Cells and to help the body heal itself. A person could achieve the same health benefits from AFA but would need to take higher amounts of AFA over a longer period of time to achieve these results.  AFA is very nutritious at the cellular level which has great healing effects to the entire body.  Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" stimulates  the bone marrow to release stem cells.  As we age and get older, the Stem Cells are less viable and don't move as easy.  They are attached to the bone marrow by an L-selectin ligand.  Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" creates them to break free and to circulate in higher numbers.  Our body has to have stem cell movement to repair itself.  A stem cell is pluripotent.  Meaning that if it goes to the liver, it becomes a liver cell.  If it goes to the brain, it becomes a brain cell. So as each cell in the body dies and new ones are made, it is critical to have healthy cells to replace them (AFA does this at the cellular level) and it is important to keep the stem cells moving in great numbers for faster healing (Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers".)

Why may Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" be contraindicated for people on anticoagulant therapy?
One gram of Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" 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 "Enhancers", that it contains vitamin K, and the anticoagulant prescription can be adjusted through careful monitoring of your condition by your doctor.

Can Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" be taken with other drugs?
As far as we have studied and researched, the only possible interaction is with antidepressant medications, as Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" 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 nutritional "Enhancers" 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 nutritional "Enhancers". 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 "Enhancers" speaks for itself. We would be delighted to provide Mr. Barrett with a few bottles of Stem Cell nutritional "Enhancers" so he can see the benefits on his own health.

Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll. 


Transfer Factors 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 transfer factors. 4Life Research™ has thousands of case reports on the effectiveness of Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies on Transfer Factor Plus documented an increase in Natural Killer cell activity.by 283% and 437% respectively, over baseline immune response. The NK cell is the animal's first line of defense against many pathogens... bacteria, viruses, parasites, and of course malignant tumor cells.


Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton
Seawater contains every mineral and trace mineral known in organic form and in the proper ratios needed by human tissues. Dr. René Quinton, French biologist/physiologist, proved that pure seawater is virtually identical to mammalian blood plasma. With the assistance of many eminent physicians, he successfully used seawater as a healing agent on thousands of patients in France and Egypt in the early 1900s. Navy doctors successfully used seawater during the Second World War when blood serum supplies ran out.  Marine Phytoplankton offers full Spectrum 72 natural ionic sea trace minerals, the the benefits of getting 200+ ocean vegetables in your diet every day - Amino Acids, Vitamins, Essential Fatty Acids, Enzymes, and much more 

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  more about marine phytoplankton's healing power 


A further look at healing with nature. Nature provides us with a simple, straightforward system for regaining and maintaining superb human health and beauty.
 
  • Healing with Food: Most human illnesses are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself.
  • Healing through Fasting: Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism.
  • Healing with Water: Hydrotherapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick
  • Healing with the Sea: There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables.
  • Healing with Sunlight: Sunlight helps the body heal wounds and injuries and overcome virtually any illness.
  • Healing with Earth: Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans.
  • Healing with Plants: Plants have the power to supply the bodies’ life force with the energies it needs to restore and maintain health.
  • Healing with Urine: One of the most powerful, most researched and most medically proven natural cures ever discovered.
  • Basic Healing Principles: The body has an innate capacity to heal itself. Self-healing can only occur once the cause of the illness has been eliminated. Why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the illness?  Physicians and surgeons palliate symptoms instead of removing causes


  • Vaccines: Are They Really Safe And Effective?What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccinesWhat 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.

    This child died as a result of vaccines - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccines
    In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious illness in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic illness such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic illness in their November 22, 1997 issues. Learn more about vaccine and diabetes connection --- asthma and vaccine connection --- SIDS and autism and vaccine connection --- "Shaken Baby Syndrome": the vaccination link  One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot. 

    Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only  test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

    Are Vaccines Damaging Our Pets?
    Routine Vaccination: Is it really safe and effective? Most recently, an article appeared in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association entitled "Are We Vaccinating Too Much?"

    Soldiers Ordered Inoculated Against Biological Threat Claim Harsh Side Effects."...But soon after his first inoculation in February, the 29-years-old Mr. Nietupski showed up at an urgent -care facility with sores all over his mouth and throat. "The side of my tongue was all raw with little canker sores, and bloody mucus was coming out of my nose, " Mr. Nietupski says. His maladies, ultimately diagnosed as an autoimmune disorder in which his body accidentaly attacked itself, grew worse as he got the next two installements of the six-shot regime. Mr. Nietupski and several of the doctors who have examined him, believe the anthrax vaccine caused his severe reaction and may also be to  blame for the blood clots Mr. Nietupski experienced in his legs months later." more on anthrax vaccines
