Stem Cells And Why They Are So Important

Researchers and individuals have been looking for something that can help the body heal itself. Studies are ongoing that indicate we are closer to that goal with Chord Blood Stem Cells.

Stem cells are cells that are undifferentiated, which means they can develop into other types of cells. For example, they can become muscle or brain cells. They can also renew themselves by dividing, even after they have been inactive for a long time. (Consider Opti-MagnaSTEM)



Stem cell research is helping scientists understand how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy stem cells could be useful in replacing cells that are not working correctly in people and animals.  Without any stem cells, we would be dead in two hours.  Therefore their importance cannot be overemphasized.  Dr Harris has used all types of Stem Cells and preparations for many years in his practice. He has seen improvement in almost all conditions from knee, shoulder and other joint repair to Parkinsons, Alzheimer’s, heart attacks and strokes.
Medical researchers are now studying stem cells to see if they could help a variety of conditions that impact different organs and body systems.

The human body requires many different types of cells to function, but it does not produce every cell type fully formed and ready to use. That's why stem cells are so useful. Scientists call a stem cell an “undifferentiated” cell because it can become any cell the body needs. In contrast, a blood cell, a liver cell, a brain cell are “differentiated” cells because they have already formed into a specific type of cell.

For futher explanation stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and replicate. On the body's demand they are able to differentiate into specific types of cells our body’s need for growth, healing and repair. There are two main types of adult stem cells: those in developed bodily tissues and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate to cells that become organs, muscles, skin, and bone, etc. These cells become specific differentiated cells based on where they exist or are sent to by the body part that needs healing and repair.

Scientists are researching how to use stem cells to regenerate or treat almost all parts of the human body.The list of conditions that stem cell therapy could help treat may be endless. Among other things, it could include conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis reseachers state. Doctors may also be able to use stem cells to treat injuries in the spinal cord or other parts of the body.
In some tissues, stem cells play an essential role in regeneration, as they can divide easily to replace dead cells. Scientists believe that knowing how stem cells work can help treat damaged tissue in almost all parts of the body. One study suggested that people with heart failure showed improvement 2 years after a single-dose administration of stem cell therapy. Another study suggested that stem cell therapies could be the basis of personalized diabetes treatment. In mice and laboratory-grown cultures, researchers successfully produced insulin-secreting cells from stem cells derived from the skin of people with type 1 diabetes.

In recent years, clinics have offered different types of stem cell treatments. One 2016 study involving 570 Clinics in the United States offered stem cell-based therapies for conditions ranging from sports injuries to organ repair.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also allows clinics to inject people with their own stem cells as long as the cells are intended to perform only their normal function.  The drawback is a baby is born with over a billion stem cells that are able to reproduce themselves up to one million times.  However, in a 70 year old, each stem cell may be able to replace itself only 200 times.  So, I choose to recieve these embryonic stem cells at a 5 million count twice per year so that each cell reproduces a million times.

Ethical issues are not a concern since these embryonic stem cells come from cord blood of newly delivered healthy babies. With this and other recent advances in stem cell technology, attitudes toward stem cell research are beginning to favorably change.
