120 Videos on How Stem Cells Affect Anti-aging and Disease
Welcome to Stem Cell Research Videos. Here you will find over 120 videos covering most of the current research with stem cells.
The recent advances in stem cell research were listed as one of the most significant health-related stories in the past 25 years by CNN, second only to the complete mapping of the human genome. Over 70 diseases are now treatable using adult stem cells.
Check the menu bars on the left for the latest research videos in the various areas.
I do mention Embryonic stem cells, however this site primarily looks at the research done with adult stem cells.
Here's why:
"The lack of success of... embryonic stem cells should be compared with the real successes of adult stem cells. A wealth of scientific papers published over the last few years document that adult stem cells are a much more promising source of stem cells for regenerative medicine."
- Dr. David A. Prentice, Ph.D
Understanding How Stem Cells Effect Your Health.
We need vitamins, antioxidants, good food, doctors and sometimes medication. But none of them rebuild the body. None of them can actually bring back new tissue, bone, organs, or any part of the body.
Science has just recently discovered that the only system known that actually rebuilds the body is your own adult stem cells. If they are not releasing into the bloodstream as they should, you suffer degradation in health.
Check out "Anti-aging" for some supplements that may help your stem cells. Most can be purchased at your local health food store.
From Top Athletes to Baby Boomers
Knowing how to utilize your own stem cells will not only allow athletes to gain a competitive advantage, but baby boomers can also reverse the aging process by achieving optimal health.
How important are stem cells to your health?
This New England Journal of Medicine study sums it up fairly well.
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”.
Adult Stem Cells are the Natural Renewal System of our bodies. Optimal health can be achieved by simply increasing the number of stem cells in our blood stream.
This is by far the best tool in your anti-aging arsenal.
Stem Cell Basics
These videos explain what a stem cell is, how they work and the difference between Embryonic and Adult Stem 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, 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.
The difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are simple: Any and all stem cells mentioned prior to birth are "Embryonic" and any and all other stem cells are "adult" stem cells.
Aging and what you can do today to start reversing this trend.
Anti-aging isn't just for boomers. “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. This made the video series on The End of Aging of particular interest to me.
Athletic Training
It has been proven that increasing the number of circulating stem cells in the blood stream gives individual athletes and teams overall a definite “competitors edge”.
Individuals and teams, at the amateur, college or professional level that incorporates this into their daily regiment will be stronger, faster, have more endurance, and decrease the time it takes for an injury to heal. This allows them to compete at a higher level than those who don't.
From Pets to Thoroughbreds
Top thoroughbred trainers are now learning how they can give their horses that competitors edge that can make the difference between first and second. This same research allows our pets to achieve optimal health.
Growing Body Parts
Sadly, we have many of our soldiers coming home with hands, arms and legs that are missing. Science is getting closer to our being able to grow back missing body parts. Mending spinal cord injuries. They are also able to grow organs needed in transplants from the patients own adult stem cells. This will end the problem of rejection. Watch the videos in Regeneration to see the research in these areas.
Embryonic vs. Adult Stem Cells, Controversy Ending
The controversy between Embryonic and Adult stem cells may be coming to an end as scientist have now discovered how to make embryonic like stem cells from the adult stem cells in our skin.
I hope you enjoy exploring what the Future of Medicine holds for all of us in video format.
