Stem Cell Breakthrough- our Body’s Can be Stimulated to Make Their Own

Author: Ellen Agius

Over the past few years, stem cells have been getting a lot of attention. The controversial use of embryonic stem cells plagues our headlines and causes concerns for many. Scientists believe stem cell research will lead to useful treatment and cures for diseases and medical conditions once thought untreatable including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, heart disease and cancer.

So What Are Stem Cells? Stem cells are like magic seeds, as they are capable of developing into any of nearly 220 cell types that make up the human body. Thus a stem cell can become a brain cell, a liver cell, a fingernail cell, etc. They serve as a repair system for the body and can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells.

Overview Of Embryonic Stem Cell Use- The use of Embryonic stem cells is far from the solution and there is new scientific evidence that our body can be stimulated to create it’s own stem cells. It is noted that the only stem cells that have helped patients so far are adult stem cells and that embryonic stem cell research has not helped a single patient.

There are many arguments as to why we shouldn’t use embryonic stem cells for cures and research. Not only is it unethical as the process of obtaining the cells destroys human embryos, but embryonic stem cells can cause cancer, which is a real concern for researchers. Research shows that the embryonic stem cells can form into undesirable tissue and create tumors or fully formed teeth. In addition injected embryonic stem cells are subject to attack by the patient's own body due to immune rejection.

So with these potential life threatening complications with embryonic stem cell use, adult stem cells are a viable alternative. Adult stem cells can be taken from living humans (children or adults) without harming them. Successful and ethical adult stem cell research involves no destruction of embryos. It is simply about good ethical science.

New Scientific Evidence In The Field Of Nutrition Gives An Alternative Solution For Stem Cell Production- What disappoints me is there is a growing body of scientific evidence that our own body can be stimulated to manufacture it’s own stem cells from its bone marrow by supplying the body with a new class of missing nutrients called glyconutrients.



These nutrients provide the body with what it needs to communicate from cell to cell. For proper cell-to-cell communication, cells use these glyconutrient structures to “speak” to each other and communicate everything a cell needs: nutrition, protection, repair, hormones, etc.

Therefore when you switch the communication system on by supplementing with glyconutrients your body can identify damaged tissue and stimulates stem cell production from your bone marrow to go to work and heal and repair. There is also the advantage that when you use your own stem cells produced by your own body there is no risk of rejection or abnormal growths.

Glyconutrients are part of a new emerging area of nutritional supplements supported by a science. In less than 10 years, the science of glycobiology (the study of glyconutrients) had exploded to become one of the “hottest” new fields of medical and nutritional research. This discovery has been hailed as “one of the ten technologies that will change the world” (MIT review 2003). Supplementation with glyconutrients may be a startling answer to the controversial stem cell debate.

There are numerous reports from around the world of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and stroke sufferers making remarkable recoveries; diabetics producing insulin again and transplant recipients no longer needed anti-rejection drugs. All were taking Glyconutrients as reported by Fisher Institute for Medical Research. The research team has seen changes in people of all ages, including infants, children, teenagers, adults and some quite elderly, who were thought to be in irreversible health situations. Their research findings revealed that "When they measured before and after stem cell counts in the blood, virtually none were detected prior to consuming Glyconutrients, and within a week of consuming Glyconutrients, trillions of stem cells can be found.” [ Fisher Proceedings, vol3, no.3 ]. This is amazing since to date there has never been a product that stimulates stem cell production.

In Summary- Glycobiology and the application of glyconutrients are at the forefront of medicine and nutritional science with thousands of studies and articles having been published in the last few years. Your body can only function properly and repair itself when it receives each and every day, the nutrients it needs to restore cell-to-cell communication and stimulate stem cell production, which provides an enormous healing power in the body.
