How Stem Cells Prevent Ageing
Ageing results from the progressive depletion of stem cells, so the introduction
of new stem cells has the potential of slowing down or reversing this process.
"Stem cell therapies are among the world's greatest collective scientific
breakthrough, possessing the clear potential to revolutionize the practice
of medicine and improve the quality and length of life."
Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients
(December 2005)
Stem cells possess a unique anti-aging effect by improving immune function
and regenerating and repairing organs damaged by stressors, like free radicals
and the various toxins we are exposed to in our day to day living.
Your body uses its own stem cells to make you stronger, healthier and more
resistant to disease. As we age, we use stem cells to repair damaged organs,
or to replace those stem cells destroyed by toxins over time.
At all stages of your life, your body fights damage by using stem cells.
When you smoke, stem cells head for the lungs. When you are sunburnt, they
repair the skin. As late as the early 2000's, we did not know that stem
cell replenishment was true for most organs, but today we know that every
organ seems to recruit stem cells from the bone marrow to resuscitate itself.
