The Benefits of Stem Cells
Stem cells are amazing, revitalizing and regenerative gifts to the physical body.
However, some stem cells are more sensitive to free radicals, heavy metals, inflammation, endotoxins, pollution, etc. These factors can disrupt the genetics of the stem cells and cause injury, death and/or transformation of these marvelous healers into cancer stem cells. The more we find positive alternatives to the harmful factors that destroy our stem cells, the more we will help ourselves and our world live in greater health and joy.
The first section on “Stem Cells and Toxins” provides research on products that damage stem cells and contribute to diseases and premature aging.
If a person goes to a physician for a stem cell treatment, the physician needs to check for infections, dietary and lifestyle abuse habits, metal toxicity, gut problems, etc. or the results of the procedure may not be as beneficial. If the procedure is not an emergency (such as a heart attack or stroke), it is important to clean out the system as much as possible so that the stem cells are better able to do their repair work.
There are a number of stem cell types. The bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, retinal (eye) progenitors, primitive embryonic-like stem cells and growth factors. Most of these are also in umbilical cord blood. Research suggests that the stem cells in bone marrow blood (aspirate) or cord blood may provide more benefit to a patient than one type of stem cell by itself.
