Stem cells are essential for health. Stem cells are a natural part of our body. Natural healing in the future will use stem cells in their arsenal of treatments. This comes back to taking nature’s powerful healing ability and using it.

Stem cells are a natural and effective treatment for most conditions. It is a real solution that holds some incredible promise. The fact is drugs are not the answer. They may be effective in mitigating some symptoms, but they are worthless in riding us of lingering illness. Real progress and breakthroughs will come when we look to the power of our body to generate healthy stem cells.

Stem Cells the Future

Stems cells are the future, and they have nothing to do with the controversy going on. We don’t need embryonic research to harness stem cells. The bottom line is we have methods to harvest them from the person who needs them 

The bottom line is we have some power over our stem cells. A study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies revealed that stem cells can sense a decrease in available nutrients and respond by retaining only a small pool of stem cells for tissue maintenance. When conditions are favorable, stem cell numbers will multiply.

This is enormous news. Here is the catch, stem cells extensively proliferate in early embryos, but by adulthood only a few stem cells remain. Our bodies are maintained by our stem cells response.

Making the most of what you’ve got

The adult stem cells have the potential to develop into most tissues in the body and have the capacity to migrate toward damaged areas. According to the National Institutes of Health, the main roll of adult stem cells is to maintain and repair tissue. Aging affects the number and the ability of stem cells to maintain a healthy immune system.

Wild blueberry supports the proliferation of stem cells. Green tea extract enhances the proliferation of stem cells in the body. Vitamin D supports adult stem cell renewal, and also helps these cells become immune cells.

Until stem cell research catches up the answer may be in our actions.

Mushrooms  protect your health. This is one of the best keep secrets.Mushrooms are among the many foods thought to play an important role in keeping the immune system healthy. Now, Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-funded scientists have conducted an animal-model and cell-culture study showing that white button mushrooms enhanced the activity of critical cells in the body’s immune system. In the United States, white button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed.

There is higher consumer awareness of the value of some of the more basic plant food. The fuzzy thinking of our health care providers devalue these small gems. Mushrooms trumps open the jar and pop a pill mentality for health.

Healing miracles happen when people shape their own path. Understanding this and being aware of the ability of plant food to flush, protect and eliminate unhealthy accumulated toxins, the magic of mushrooms will make sense.

Study

A study conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University by center director Simn Meydadi, colleague Dayong Wu, and others. The results may show that white button mushrooms promote immune function by increasing production of antiviral and other proteins that are released while seeking to protect and repair tissue

How many drugs can do this withour side effects. Also, mushrooms are a rich source of riboflavin, niacin, and selenium. Selenium is an antioxidant that works with vitamin E to protect cells from free radicals. The most commonly eaten mushroom is the white button mushroom.

The latest findings show that white button mushrooms can reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. An extract of white button mushrooms decrease cell proliferation and decreased tumor size in a dose-dependent way. The chemo-protective effect can be seen with an intake of about 100 grams (3.5 ozs) of mushrooms per day.

Shiitake mushrooms have have been used by the Chinese and Japanese to treat colds and Flu. A beta-glucan isolated from the body of shiitake mushrooms, appears to stimulate the immune system, helps fight infection, and also demonstrates ant-tumor activity.

There are many different organic and wild-harvested mushrooms that work their magic when placed on our dinner plates. The key to vibrant health is to use common foods that have uncommon abilities to build a strong immune system and promote overall health.

Chemotherapy Feeds Cancer, sounds strange, now learn the truth.

Have you ever wondered why advance cancer treatment fails to halt the spread of a tumor?

Cancer Feeds on

The reasons why mainstream cancer treatments so often fail, is that chemotherapy may be a cancer’s friend. Chemotherapy is a doubled edge sword. The effects of the treatment are deadly for many reasons.

The treatment alone can kill you and many times does. But, the deadly effects don’t stop there. Halting the spread of these cells has always been the Achilles’ heal of the cancer industry.

The public has a healthy fear of chemo and radiation treatment. Why people deteriorate on those protocols are three fold. One, the treatment many times doesn’t slow the spread, two it breaks down the immune system, and three it feeds the cancer cells.

Cancer can become immune to chemotherapy and use the drugs for a food supply. This next reason is the icing on the cake.

Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center and UAB Department of Chemistry have won an $805,000 grant from the U.S, Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to study whether dead cancer cells left over after treatment encourage Cancer’s spread to other parts of the body.

The research centers on examining inactivated or altered genetic material (DNA) left in the body after breast-cancer cells are exposed to chemotherapy. UAB researches say the resulting altered DNA may be the factor that activates the spread of living cancer cells to distant locations in the body- a process called metastasis-through a specific molecular pathway.

“What if by killing cancer cells with chemotherapy we inadvertently induce DNA structures that make surviving cancers cells more invasive? The idea is tough to stomach,” said Katri Selender, M.D, PhD, and assistant professor of the UBA Division of Hematology and oncology and co-principal researcher on the grant.
