The secret about Adult Stem Cells

This article looks at adult stem cells and some secret information you may not have known.

Most people have heard something about stem cells. Unfortunately most of it is regarding embryonic stem cells which are highly controversial and have sparked an ethical debate. Adult stem cells on the other hand are naturally present in the bone marrow and have been there since birth. These stem cells are the body's natural renewal system and scientific studies have shown that the more we have circulating in our bloodstream, the greater our health and wellness.

In what's regarded as a major scientific breakthrough, a peer-reviewed clinical study has proven that a patented concentrate of AFA (aphanizomenon flos-aquae) extract showed an increase of 25% in the number of circulating stem cells after 1 hour.

This study presents great hope as the body uses stem cells to create new cells in the tissues and organs in the constant process of renewal. This AFA concentrate supports the body's ability to rebuild and repair. The addition of millions of stem cells in the blood stream could very well be the most important wellness breakthrough of our times.

Everyone can benefit from this AFA concentrate from younger people to the elderly. It is also tremendous for those who engage in sports, regardless if they are professional athletes or weekend amateurs. Athletes have a great need for recovery and renewal and boosting the body's natural process allows them to remain in optimal condition.

A great example of this is an athlete in the 65 years age category competing at the US masters games. He ran a mile in five minutes 12 seconds which shattered a 35-year-old record. He was taking the AFA concentrate and credits it for this and his other gold-medal performances. Many athletes have blasted through strength training plateaus as well. Optimal athletic performance requires optimal renewal and an increase number of circulating stem cells will help the body to do this.

With all the research pointing towards adult stem cells as being the most helpful, this clinically proven AFA concentrate is the safe and natural way to engage the body's natural system of renewal.

The Benefits of AFA and Stem Cell Science to your Health

Now you can help your body to recover after exercise with Adult Stem Cells

This article looks at the role of adult stem cells from the bone marrow in athletic exercise and recovery.

Many Doctor's agree that one of the key elements of optimal health is regular exercise. What many may not be aware of however, is the continual process of breakdown and renewal that occurs from doing any form of exercise -- especially athletic type of training. Exercise in itself is fine, but the key to maintaining optimal health is to balance the breakdown and the renewal of the body.

Thankfully, after many years of research, the scientific community has discovered that the body's ability to renew itself is dependent upon it's ability to release adult stem cells from the bone marrow. Put simply, the greater your body's ability to release adult stem cells from the bone marrow, the more efficient your body will be at renewing itself and maintaining optimal health.

Our bodies are designed to naturally balance the breakdown and renewal process. But when this process gets out of balance problems are more likely to occur. This is more evident with athletes, where the constant demands for renewal are more complicated as they are doing more to breakdown. Getting this balance right therefore, is critical if athletes want to improve their performances -- regardless of whether they are serious or amateur athletes.

As we've seen for athletes bodies, they require additional support to maintain the breakdown and recovery balance. Luckily, this additional support is available in the form of a patented concentrate of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). In a published clinical study this AFA concentrate has been shown to naturally increase the release of adult stem cells from the bone marrow.

Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, it's safe to say at some point you have experienced muscle soreness after exercise or sport. Benefits of being active aside, this muscle pain is called "delayed onset muscle soreness" (DOMS) and is a result of the muscle fibers being torn. Additionally, the soreness can be attributed to swelling in a muscle. Either way, the body is indicating that it needs to repair itself.

The extent of this tearing and also the soreness felt will depend on both the duration and type of exercise being performed. Any movement the body isn't used to or hasn't done for a while can lead to delayed onset muscle soreness. A good example is playing golf or throwing a ball if you haven't done either recently. You limp into work on Monday because of these microscopic tears, but the real result is loss of strength, flexibility and power. The good news is, as the body recovers by repairing the tears we become stronger.

The speed and effectiveness at which the body can recover will greatly influence whether or not an athlete can train without getting injured. As we've seen, support from the AFA concentrate will provide a boost to the body's natural renewal system and provide bone marrow derived adult stem cells to assist with repair. This natural boost is incredibly valuable for athletes on any level who wish to improve their recovery whilst building strength and stamina at the same time.

What everybody should know about Cardiovascular Health and Adult Stem Cells

This article examines the link scientific studies have found between cardiovascular health and adult stem cells.

Over the last 30 years, with reduced cholesterol and an emphasis on increased physical activity, cardiovascular health has improved. There is still work to be done however, as the World Health Organization predicts almost 400,000 Americans will die of coronary disease in 2010. Fortunately, Research scientists have discovered that the number of circulating adult stem cells in the blood stream is beneficial for good health. Even better are the recent studies that have shown the more adult stem cells circulating in the blood, the better cardiovascular health will be.

This article will examine a few of these studies in order for you to understand the health benefits of naturally increasing the release of adult stem cells into the blood stream.

Vasa, et, al (2001) discovered that people with poor cardiovascular health have less endothelial progenitor cells (EPC’s) in the blood stream than those with good cardiovascular health. EPC's are certain type of stem cell that can create new blood vessels. The study showed that EPC's taken from people with poor cardiovascular health had less ability to migrate into tissues. The Vasa study also found that people who smoked had fewer EPC's in the blood stream.

Schmidt-Lucke et al (2004) conducted an experiment where 120 individuals (43 control and 77 at risk of cardiovascular health problems) had the number of EPC's in their blood stream measured. The subjects were observed for a period of 10 months and the Schmidt-Lucke study concluded that cardiovascular health problems were linked to a reduced number of EPC's in the blood stream.

Werner et al (2005) conducted a more extensive study where 19 individuals had the number of EPC's in the blood stream measured and were observed for one year. The study showed the individuals with more circulating EPC's had fewer cardiovascular health problems than the individuals with less circulating EPC's -- who did experience cardiovascular events.

Because of these recent studies, scientists understand the link between a greater number of circulating adult stem cells and better cardiovascular health. Essentially, poor circulation is a lack of oxygen. When oxygen is lacking, the tissue releases compounds for two tasks. One, to attract EPC's to the tissue and two, to convert EPC's into new capillary cells. We can conclude then, that a tissue lacking oxygen triggers a process where circulating adult stem cells travel to the tissue and become new capillary cells. New capillaries allow for more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients and thus better health.

In summary, we are well aware that the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the organs and tissues is vital to optimal health. Thanks to scientists, we are now also aware that the best way to maintain our bodies intricate network of delivery -- the capilliaries -- and ultimately our good health, is by increasing the number of circulating adult stem cells in the blood steam.

Is inflammation preventing Adult Stem Cells from doing their job in your body?

This article looks at the natural renewal system of the body -- adult stem cells -- and the inflammatory process.

Inflammation, from the Latin word inflammatio meaning set on fire, is a process used by the body to protect itself. We mostly associate red, painful and swollen skin which has occurred after a bite or splinter with it and is commonly regarded as acute inflammation.

This process of inflammation is a necessary and vital one for health. Without it, the body would be unable to protect itself and initiate the assistance of white blood cells and the immune system. With all functions of the body, there needs to be balance, but unfortunately many people suffer from chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation differs from acute inflammation in that it is undetected, constant and happens silently in the background. It also causes disruption to the normal function of cells. Chronic inflammation then, is responsible for a whole range of health related problems.

The problems caused by chronic inflammation unfortunately do not end there. It appears that the bodies natural system of renewal -- adult stem cells -- is hampered by chronic inflammation. At the cellular level, chronic inflammation confuses the adult stem cells and makes it difficult for them to go where they're needed because it appears everywhere is signaling them. A good example would be trying to hear one person in a full stadium when everyone is shouting.

There are many causes of chronic inflammation such as environmental factors, genetics, general lifestyle and the presence of any pathogens. While some of these are hard to control, many are within our control. For example poor sleep, stress, bad diet and lack of exercise can all be improved.

An inflammatory diet is one that consists of saturated fats, trans fats, sweetener, alcohol, dairy, sodas, red meat, MSG, nuts, sugar and white flour. For many people, their diet consists entirely of these foods. An anti-inflammatory diet on the other hand, includes vegetables (leafy greens), fish and fish oil, flax seed, fruit (pineapple, mango, papaya), oats, seaweed, barley and olive oil. Changes to diet can significantly improve chronic inflammation for sufferers, but a simple way is to supplement with a concentrate of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA).

AFA has a similar spectrum to wheatgrass and spiulina giving it anti-inflammatory properties, but unlike the others, also has the added effect of increasing the number of circulating stem cells in your bloodstream by 25% with just two capsules. This extra support is just the thing your natural repair system needs to maintain the balance between breakdown and renewal and may assist those suffering from chronic inflammation.

The latest object on the health and wellness horizon -- Adult Stem Cell enhancers

This article looks at the latest breakthrough for health and wellness -- Adult Stem Cell enhancers.

It's highly likely you've heard something about stem cells. They have been the subject of many headlines, especially the debate between embryonic and adult stem cells. The reason why this debate rages is because of the potential stem cells offer to renew and repair the body.

Research studies have shown that adult stem cells can become any other type of cell in the body. An example of this from the home would be a special type of putty. If I had a problem with the walk way, we put some putty there and it becomes the walk way. If we have a hole in the wall and put a piece of putty in the hole, it becomes part of the wall. In the body, an adult stem cell in the kidney will become new kidney cells. In this regard, we have found a way to renew all the different types of cells in the body.

This discovery as created a huge interest from the scientific community into stem cell research. Researchers are well aware of the potential health benefits from stem cells and have focused their efforts on how best to utilize them.

At this point, there are three approaches. The first approach is embryonic stem cells. Highly controversial, embryonic stem cells are taken from the very early embryo called the blastula. The ethical considerations and the results from studies using them, make embryonic stems cells less than ideal.

The second approach is adult stem cells harvested from the patient's bone marrow over a period of weeks, which are then reinjected into the patient. These clinics operate in China, Mexico and Russia for example, and cost approximately $15,000 per injection of 1.5 million stem cells.

The third approach, which is by far the most sensible, ethical and cost-effective is to enhance the natural release of our own adult stem cells.

Adult stem cells are present in our bone marrow and are responsible for the renewal of our cells from the day we are born until the day we die. Similar to other functions in the body, this natural release slows down with age. If our body cannot repair itself, then we will not experience optimal health, it's as simple as that.

We know this process slows because In children, the bone marrow is red, but in adults, the bone marrow in the long limbs for example, is predominantly yellow as it has been displaced by fat deposits over time. Adults still have red bone marrow, but in fewer places.

Enhancing the release of our own adult stem cells then can give us a new boast to offer friends. Many people are happy to report the heart health of a 20 year old after a trip to the doctor, but now with the aid of an adult stem cell enhancer, we can re-experience the renewal system we had as a child.

This stem cell enhancer -- a concentrate of an aqua botanical named AFA (aphanizomenon flos-aquae) -- was tested in a double-blind, peer reviewed clinical study and proven to increase the number of circulating adult stem cells in the blood stream by 25%. This equates to between three to 4 million stem cells for the average person.

The health implications of this study significant and will make stem cell enhancers the new antioxidants. Just as vitamins were popular, herbs were popular and juices were popular, stem cell enhancers promise to be the next big health and wellness breakthrough of our times.
