The
most powerful solution
According to the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, stem cells appear
to be our most powerful tool in Regenerative Medicine at this time. Previous
dogma concerning adult stem cells taught that our tissues did not have stem
cells and the cells present at birth just declined in quantity and quality
until there was nothing left. It was also believed that hematopoietic stem
cells lacked plasticity and could not transform to other tissues.
Current medical literature proves that adult
stem cells exist in most tissues including brain, heart, muscles and liver
and that umbilical cord stem cells and bone marrow stem cells have plasticity
to potentially transform and repair all tissues and organs.
Current literature also shows that stem cell supplementation of an age-damaged
bone marrow stem cell population can result in rejuvenation and the increase
in longevity of that stem cell source.1
