The research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, were part of a phase I study that set out to show safety. The trial has moved on to phase II, which is taking place in 50 hospitals in the United States, said Dr. Joshua Hare, director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine and lead author of the study.... ... read more Comments of Christian Drapeau on Time magazine article Recently an article was published in the Time magazine with title "How the Coming Revolution in Stem Cells Could Save Your Life". It describes new ways of creating stem cells. The methods involved includes manipulations of genes of otherwise normal tissue. Since each cell of our body contains DNA which is same that was present when we were embryos made of embryonic stem cells. After birth the "embryonicness" is not required and is suppressed due to suppression of genes responsible for it. Thus it may be possible to activate the "embryonicness" of these cells by activating such suppressed genes. Thus it is theoretically possible to work with embryonic-like stem cells without having to damage human embryos. However, such activation of previously suppressed genes to reactivate the embryonicness of cells tantamount to conversion of normal cells into cancer cells! Thus such embryonic stem cells carry high risk of tumor formation. The adult stem cells however do not possess the characteristics of cancer cells. It is here where lies the potential of the Adult Stem Cells. According to Christian Drapeau, the StemTech's Chief Scientific Officer, "to some extent it is true that adult stem cells are limited to becoming cells of the tissue in which they find themselves, but this is precisely why they carry such great promise. Unlike embryonic stem cells that can become all cells types and therefore create tumors, adult stem cells will only become cells of the tissue in which they find themselves." According to him, if genes are activated to transform characteristics of cell into embryonic stem cells, this would be against the nature’s decree and "I think we are playing with very dangerous fire", says Christian Drapeau.. "We are essentially awakening chaos in a cell, we have no idea what this could bring", he adds. Read full response of Christian Drapeau on his blog. Stem cells: The Next Therapeutic Frontier Cell therapy is one of the most exciting fields in translational medicine.

All of our bodies already contain a cell that "repairs" our bodies and performs this function every day of our lives. It's called the Repair Stem Cell. These cells constantly jump to our aid when we need help. Cut your finger, no problem a Repair Stem Cell will do its work and heal your skin. Injure another part of your body and Repair Stem Cells are always ready to jump in and help. Sometimes, though, our bodies need help to muster more of these Repair Stem Cells to our aid than our bodies normally provide.

The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal: Demystifying the Most Dramatic Scientific Breakthrough of Our Timeby Christian DrapeauAre Adult Stem Cells the Prescription for Ultimate Health?  - Time Magazine cover story Just the Facts from the Leading Voice of Adult Stem Cell Science When Christian Drapeau first posited that Adult Stem Cells were the very foundation of the body's natural healing system, scientific study in the field was in its infancy. His hypothesis that Adult Stem Cells, created by the bone marrow, flowed to any tissue or organ needing regeneration and morphed into healthy cells of that location, was initially ridiculed by medical science. However, recent studies and a Nobel Prize winning discovery affirm Christian's position which has gained not just momentum but widespread acceptance in scientific circles as study after study reveal that Adult Stem Cell science holds phenomenal promise in all areas of human wellness. In Cracking the Stem Cell Code, author and scientist Christian Drapeau demystifies the most important scientific breakthrough of our times. He reveals the far reaching potential of adult stem cells in human health and wellness. Christian explains the stem cell phenomenon in the reader-friendly manner that made his prior book, The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal, a major hit with tens of thousands of eager readers. Adult Stem Cells hold the promise of miraculous wellness - Cracking the Stem Cell Code explains how. |
Cracking the Stem Cell Codeby Christian Drapeau Visionary Stem Cell Scientist and Stem Cell Nutrition expert Christian Drapeau says 'Absolutely Yes' as he explains the science and implications behind the body's natural renewal system. Adult Stem Cells in your bone marrow constitute the natural healing system of your body. Wherever there is an injury or damage to any organ, stem cells are released from the bone marrow. They migrate to that organ and become healthy cells of that organ, literally repairing the damaged tissue. The implications of new developments in Adult Stem Cell science for health and wellness are mind boggling. Customer Review - Must Read & Share Stem cells, Stem cells, it's heard everywhere. In newspapers, magazines, and TV, but what are they and what is all the "noise" about. Ask most medical professionals and they give you advise that they learned 20 + years ago. Today medical science knowledge is duplicating every 3 years. Author Christian Drapeau brings last months' discovery to his book in an easy to understand manner.
