Stem Cell Enhancers

There has been a controversy for years about the use of human stem cells in medicine for mostly ethical reasons. There is no debate that they hold incredible healing potential in all manner of diseases such as leukemia, bone marrow transplants, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, muscle damage, and other conditions.

Stem cells have the remarkable capability to develop into many different cell types in the body. They act as a repair system for the body, with the ability to divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. This is the full extent of my stem cell knowledge. More to come later......

When I was researching my book Rich Remedies, Volume 1, http://www.richremedies.com/ I was approached by a respected naturopath who wanted to know if I wanted to try stem cell therapy as an anti-aging/ total health regimen. The cost was approximately $1200 for the stem cells alone that were extracted from duck embryos, not human embryos. So theoretically, no ethical concerns......but....I passed on this opportunity. As enticing as it sounded. I'll try allot of things but $1200 stem cell therapy is not in the cards at this moment.

Shortly after the stem cell therapy offer I exhibited at the World Wellness Weekend in Austin, Texas. My booth was adjacent to the Stem Enhance booth. They manufacture sell stem cell enhancers. I spoke briefly with a very nice lady at the booth about her experiences with the stem cell enhancers which are plant-derived. The cost per monthly dose was less than $50.00 which is a far smaller investment than the duck embryo-based mojo I was offered.


Stem Enhance is said to stimulate stem cells in your bone marrow, which then travel throughout your body to support optimal organ and tissue function. It "enhances" your own natural stem cells to grow and multiple according to the manufacturer. They go where they are needed to repair damage to tissues and organs. It sounds pretty cool and a great chapter for my next book.
I'm going to do some more research and then probably buy a bottle or two and try it out.

The exploration continues....
