Stem cells and stem cell treatment have received plenty of stories coverage recently, some of it questionable, so this month I have made a decision to debate stem cells generally, together with several approaches to stem cell treatment. The stem cell treatments I advocate are both legal and easy, particularly with the appearance of a new nutritive product called Stemplex, which I’ll discuss a little later. But first, a little about the stem cell itself…

Embryonic Vs Adult Stem Cells
A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that will renew itself and grow into at least 3 different sorts of tissue. Embryonic stem cells derive from initial stage embryos and have the power to differentiate into all adult cell types. Embryonic stem cells behave in a consistent way under a microscope but are far less predictable when injected into the body. They can offer some advantages for research but their use is debatable and they don’t seem to be helpful for real treatments. Adult stem cells reside in post-fetal animals. Examples are linage-committed like hematopoietic stem cells that become red or white blood cells, or mesenchymal stem cells that will become many sorts of tissue, including bone, tendon, ligament, cartilage, heart, liver, or nerves.
Sources of adult stem cells include bone marrow, fat, brain tissue, and muscles. Of all of the tissues, fat yields the biggest numbers of mesenchymal stem cells, while bone marrow or umbilical blood yield more stem cells that may become red or white blood cells. Sorts of Stem Cells there are a few different classes of stem cells, including autologous, allogenic, and xenogenic. Autologous stem cells are those gleaned from the same animal.
These are the best for transplanting since there’s no concern about them being confounded. Allogenic stem cells are from a donor of the same species. Since stem cells don’t have the standard cell surface markers that would trigger immunological response, these cells can probably be used without fear of refusal by the host tissue. Xenogenic stem cells come from a donor of another species , for example a pig.
Though one would expect these cells to be defied, due to their unique traits they can survive, in a few cases, when injected into the body of another species.
