Anti-aging through the ages. In the 70’s the use of vitamins was introduced, the 80’s brought Herbal remedies from the Eastern world to the West. In the 90’s, anti-oxidants and exotic juices came into the marketplace.
But until now, no marketed substance has yet proven to slow or reverse human aging. Finally, after years of research, science has discovered the natural renewal system of our bodies. By being able to assist our bodies to achieve optimal health will allow us to live a long fruitful life.
Growing old can be bittersweet or
Growing old in optimal health can be sweet as honey.
As we age, three major concerns, freedom from disease, an alert brain, and physical function seem to be at the top of our list.
Optimal Health
What could be more important than our health? Do you think God would have put any disease on this earth without Him also putting the cure? Some seem to relate anti-aging with looking younger instead of how we are able to function. Without optimal health, all we will do is look good in the casket, usually sooner than we expect. Through stem cell research we can now look forward to many healthy years.
We all grow older “Most people think that our cells do not begin to degenerate (aging-process) until about the age of 36, but research has found that cell degeneration begins in utero and continuing shortly after birth.
As we grow older, the repair mechanisms in our bodies lessen, allowing free-radical damage to accumulate; cells, tissues, and organs become impaired, and we become more vulnerable to disease. The result, wrinkles, stiff joints, loss of muscle and bone mass, reduced hearing and our ability to heal lessen. We bruise easier as our skin becomes thinner and is less elastic. Imagine how we would feel today if we could have started the anti-aging process in our thirties.
Medicine has now entered a new dimension.
Scientists have found that Bone Marrow Stem Cells constitute the natural renewal system of the body. Simply supporting the release of stem cells from the bone marrow allows the body to combat aging thereby promoting greater health. Over the past ten years or so, profound advancements have been made in the area of stem cell research and anti-aging.
Stem Cell Enhancers
The introduction of Stem Cell Enhancers has given new hope to those in the Autumn of their lives. Enhancers are a proven, natural way to fight anti-aging and the ailments that comes with age. Stem cell enhancers allow the bone marrow to release 25-30 percent more stem cells into the blood stream. That may not seem like a lot but it equates to millions.
New England Journal of Medicine Sept. 8, 2005 “The level of CD34+ (stem cells) is one of the best predictors of cardiovascular health. The higher number of circulating stem cells, the greater the cardiovascular health”….. “The level of stem cells in the blood was a better predictor of heart attack than cholesterol level”.
This is a major finding and provides a foundation for the suggestion that stem cells contribute to the ongoing repairs needed for a healthy heart and overall health. Enhancing the number of stem cells in the blood, seems to be a very important factor in the whole process.
As we age, what happens to the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in our body? No studies have yet been done specifically to answer this question. However, hundreds of thousands of people have undergone chemotherapy and radiation therapy over the last two decades. Before undergoing such therapy, which kills all stem cells in the body, doctors harvest stem cells from the patients. These stem cells are later injected in the patient to repopulate the bone marrow. This process is known as a bone marrow transplant.
Before harvesting stem cells, patients are injected with compounds know to stimulate stem cell release from the bone marrow. It has been observed that older people release fewer stem cells than younger people. This seems to be a clear correlation with age.
Whether this comes from the reduced ability to make stem cells or to release them is not well documented. However, we know that the bone marrow slowly turns from red marrow (stem cell producing) to yellow marrow or fatty marrow (which does not produce stem cells) as we age. This can easily explain why fewer stem cells are released as we grow older.
Why are stem cells so important to our health? Everything seems to indicate that regardless of age, more stem cells in the blood seem to lead to greater health. Bone marrow cells constitute the natural renewal system of our bodies. Simply supporting the release of stem cells from the blood marrow allows the body to combat the aging process thereby promoting greater health. This is what Stem Cell Enhancers are designed to do.
Are there any food supplements a person can take to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow into the blood-stream? The body can heal itself if given the nutrients and conditions it needs. Researchers now recognize that stem cells are part of this powerful healing ability. You can positively affect the health and proliferation of your stem cells by keeping your body system balanced.
Keep Your Stress Hormones in Check Adaptogens help your body deal with stress so that adult stem cells can perform properly. Siberian ginseng (standardized to 0.8 percent eleutherosides) is an age old adaptogen that helps treat infections, improve concentration and memory, and increase energy, resistance and longevity.
Up Your Antioxidants Data suggests that antioxidant help the stem cell situation. Grape seed extract is at its best when combined with the bioflavonoids in bilberry and cranberry.
Another anti-oxidant, Pomegranate extracts should contain punicalagin for optimum antioxidant activity. Ask for Pomegranate plus vitamin C, green tea, bilberry and grape seed at your local health food store.
Fight the Inflammation Inflammation at the cellular level interferes with stem cells and a whole host of degenerative conditions. Stop inflammation where it starts with a carefully formulated proteolytic enzyme blend.
Vitamins and Minerals All vitamins and minerals play a role in maintaining the good health of stem cells. Flora MultiCaps are an easily absorbed and hypoallergenic iron-free multi. Flora Wheat Grass (powder or tablets) is packed with nutrients still in food form.
Melatonin Melatonin has been shown to support the proliferation of neural stem cells. So good sleep could help the brain recover faster and better.
Food So far, no food has been studied for its effect on stem cells. There is enough data to suggest that antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food could help overall stem cell physiology and slow aging. Full spectrum nutrition – all vitamins and minerals – is obviously expected to help the process of proliferation and the good health of stem cells. So far the only supplement or natural compound shown to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow is with a Stem Cell Enhancer.
What is the connection between stem cell circulation and improved health? Various studies have collectively shown that the higher the number of stem cells in the blood, the greater overall health thus fighting the anti-aging process. This was specifically shown in cardiovascular health in a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine. There are different hypotheses as to the actual effect on health. More stem cells may simply mean more stem cells for migration, and hence a greater potential to repair. So rather than the body deteriorating as we grow older we now have an opportunity to repair much of the damage that has been done. There is a big difference between living a long life and living a long healthy life.

Stem Cells and the End of Aging Part 1 of 6 (10 mins)
Human tissues vary in their ability to heal and regenerate. The nervous system has weak powers of regeneration, while the skin is quick to make new cells for repair. Mammalian muscle cells are intermediate in their ability to regenerate. Human muscle can regenerate in response to minor wounds and normal wear and tear, but humans will not grow a new bicep, for example, in response to amputation. The heart is the most important muscle in the body and yet has feeble regenerative capabilities. Research into the wholesale production of new replacement organs and limbs is in its infancy, but research into enhancing normal levels of regeneration is progressing rapidly. Recent discoveries concerning the location and characteristics of adult stem cells and the signals that wounded tissue produces to activate stem cells have increased our understanding of regeneration. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is an example of an important stem cell communication molecule. If the activity of the growth factor is experimentally enhanced, muscle regeneration improves.
