The Amazing Benefi ts of Stem Cell Therapy
By Yvette Whitton, ND
nerve cells to cardiac cells and everything in between, upon maturation, and under specifi c conditions. These cells function ei- ther to replace old, diseased, or dead cells, which is commonly known as regeneration, or may undergo a process of change, or dif- ferentiation, generating completely different cell types. Stem cells originate from differ- ent places within the body such as bone marrow, amniotic fl uid which is the fl uid fi lled sac surrounding the developing fetus, and embryonic stem cells which derive from developing embryos. Another source of stem cells are from adult “pluripotent” or rather adult cells that can be genetically engineered to display embryonic stem cell properties. This may sound like a script from a Sci Fi movie, provoking many ethical questions and concerns regarding the nefari- ous potential of this form of therapy.

What is Stem Cell Therapy? The popularity of stem cell therapy
is quickly expanding in the arena of anti- aging, regenerative medicine, and beyond, producing remarkable results in tissue re- pair, cognitive decline, energy production, muscle building and thus improvement in strength. The cosmetic benefi ts range from wrinkle reduction, fi rming and tightening loose skin, to improvements in erectile dysfunction. Stem cell therapy also has benefi t in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
The ethical concern associated with
stem cell therapy can be averted by choos- ing modalities for stem cell generation that do not include genetic modifi cation or fetal tissue fragments, but represent more conscionable, less painful, non-invasive
tems cells are progenitor cells, mean- ing that they have the potential to morph into any type of body cell from
methods of stem cell production such as prolonged and intermittent fasting. The process of conducting a water only fast for a period of fi ve days or more gener- ates a process called autophagy, the body’s way of self-cleaning by ridding itself of old, diseased and dead cells, followed by regeneration of new stem cells. However, prolonged water fasting is not for everyone, and can be extremely dangerous when at- tempted without medical supervision.
Photodynamic therapy, or light therapy, is another form of therapy for generating new stem cells. There are many photo- therapy devices on the market. Some of the more popular devices are the JOOV light and BEMER. Photodynamic therapy requires frequent treatments to produce favorable results and can be quite costly to either purchase the equipment for home use or locate a facility that offers these treatments. If you are unable to make the time and fi nancial investment in photo- dynamic therapy, there is another more cost-effective option for stem cell regen- eration using light waves. Not only is this option affordable, it is extremely conve- nient, consisting of the application of a small transdermal patch applied topically to specifi c meridian points on the skin and left in place for 12-hour segments. Results are often immediate and can range from improved sleep to pain alleviation, all without any painful needles or drugs.
A Drugless Patch: How Does it Work? The patch contains GHK-Copper pep-
tide (Tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine), a naturally occurring substance in the body and is at its highest concentrations in blood plasma, saliva, and urine during youth. With age, the concentration decreases. The peptide is released from body tissues
during cellular injury, repairing and regen- erating damaged cells. A study shows the biological response modulating benefi ts of GHK-CU peptide by its ability to inhibit the over expression of certain genes known to increase aggressiveness and spread of cer- tain types of cancers. Additionally, GHK- CU is indicated in cellular regeneration, reducing infl ammation and oxidative stress within the body. This patented transder- mal technology was developed by David Schmidt and has been successfully used for over a decade. This technology is registered with the FDA as a medical device. The cop- per peptide is contained within the center of the patch. The peptide complex does not enter through the skin, but when the patch is applied to the skin it absorbs thermal energy, a form of light energy which is refl ected through the skin, reducing infl am- mation and oxidative stress, and regenerat- ing cells within the body. Although results cannot be guaranteed, benefi ts are reported as the following: improved sleep, improve- ment in energy, fi rmer skin, improvement in skin tone, pain reduction, thicker hair and enhanced wound healing.
