Ways to get Stem-Cells Therapy~

"Stem cells are the basic building blocks of life. They are found in the  body’s organs, tissues, blood, and immune system and have the ability to regenerate into additional stem cells or differentiate into specialized cells, such as nerve or blood cells. This remarkable ability makes them invaluable in medical treatments. When transplanted into a patient’s body, stem cells can repair or replace the patient’s damaged or diseased cells, improving the patient’s health and, in many cases, saving the patient’s life."

In the market right now, there are how many ways we can get stem cell therapy?

Consume Raw Bone Marrow and Placenta

But before we go in deep, anyone know since when we human start consuming stem cell therapy? For the info, it was started by back dated 100 years BC. Since then, the dynasty time was during "Yang Guifei" which was known as one of the Four Beauties of ancient China. She also was the beloved consort of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang during his later years. But did anyone know what is the consort beauty secret? How can she maintain her beauty look? On that moment, they started consume through placenta, raw bone marrow or even taking new born mice and swollen it...but did anyone know why they doing it? It was because the a new born mice is full of stem cells and on 0 month which are great on beautify a person and body as everything are not yet been polluted. 

Continuously from there, the Royalty, Presidents, Politicians, Rich and Famous person wish to stay young and long life will take an injections or surgery whereby the therapy will take 3-6 months. It has been very common for today market.

Placenta Injection: (Beauty Salon)

Beside this, in Kuala Lumpur and Melaka beauty salon right now also providing injection of stem cell therapy which costs few hundred thousand and need to paid off in 1 session before they providing the service. The therapy also take 3-6 months therapy. BUT...please think twice before you decided...WHY? Are the person-in-charge certified to provide this therapy? Are they fulfilled the hygiene standard? Any document supporting that the therapy is safe or any side effect? From where the stem cell taken?

Cord-Blood Banking

Furthermore, with today technology! Stem cell  therapy can be did through a surgery. For example, a case in Australia whereby a person had breast cancer and remove it then with stem cells transplant can have a second chance life...

In more easy way, today's when a lady delivers a newborn baby's the doctor will ask whether they want to keep the cord-blood. The blood within your newborn baby’s umbilical cord contains young stem cells that can renew themselves and become specialized. These cord blood stem cells have been proven in treatment to help children replace damaged blood cells with healthy ones and strengthen their immune systems. Cord blood banking is the process of collecting and storing these stem cells for potential medical use.

Why is it so special?
Nearly half of all pediatric transplants worldwide now involve cord blood. To date, over 30,000 transplants have been performed using these amazing healing cells, but it only takes one happy ending to understand why cord blood is so special. There are 2 cases whereby a cord-blood safe a life.

• Baby Harlow at 3 months used her own cord blood to treat a tumor
• Taylor used her sister's cord blood to treat her leukemia

Adult Stem-cells Banking

To proceed with this treatment, a person need to qualify a few criteria:

1. age not more than 30 years old;
2. non-smokers;
3. healthy lifestyle;

Beside from what been mention, we also need to go through a body check-up before everything finalized for the adult-stem cell banking. If our body not healthy, how can the cells can stay healthy and help to building up more new cells?

Hmmm...guess quite plenty of ways we can get stem-cells! Did i miss out any other ways? Oh ya! Even on the dynasty time we did have consumption way but with todays technology we can get it orally as well...Like we taking supplements way..in a capsule form..anytime anywhere~

Orally Consumption

I found in the market which they highlight...in order to get fresh and live stem-cells therapy, it should fulfill 4 major technologies. 

1. Enteric-Coated Technology: to make sure every capsule we consume should be safe to deliver to small intestine, and is uniquely coated to withstand stomach acid.
2. Emusification Technology (Nano-Technology): To enables larger molecules to be completely absorbed by the bile-chylomicron pathway.
3. Freeze-Drying Technology: with this technology, it can preserved the live cells and remain bioactive for 3-4 years.
4. Nitrogen Filled Technology: without oxygen, bacteria cannot thrive, placenta cells will remain active and alive.

As I recalled, many products at the pharmacy or beauty salon are not having this technology...was that mean I didn't notice much effect no matter how much I had consume for this pass few years...

As a conclusion, I would like to conclude:

"Stem cell science is extraordinarily promising. There have been great advances in treating diseases and conditions of the blood system using blood-forming stem cells, and these show us just how powerful stem cell therapies can be. Scientists all over the world are researching ways to harness stem cells and use them to learn more about, to diagnose, and to treat various diseases and conditions. Every day scientists are working on new ways to shape and control different types of stem cells in ways that are bringing us closer to developing new treatments. Many potential treatments are currently being tested in animal models and some have already been brought to clinical trials. In February 2010 the British company ReNeuron announced it had been approved to conduct a Phase I clinical trial of a neural stem cell treatment for stroke. The first embryonic stem cell-based treatment for acute spinal cord injury has been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to move into Phase I clinical trials. Although it is sometimes hard to see, stem cell science is moving forward. We are tremendously optimistic that stem cell therapies will someday be available to treat a wide range of human diseases and conditions."
