Scientist Reveals Facts You Should Know About Stem Cells

November 18, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Adult stem cells are without a doubt one of the most exciting fronts in health sciences today. According to Christian Drapeau, Chief Science Officer of STEMTech HealthSciences, Inc., there has been a wealth of scientific papers published over the last few years proving that adult stem cells have virtually the same qualities as embryonic stem cells. While human embryos were once thought to be the only source of these "super cells" that could regenerate a wide range of human tissue, this recent research has proven that adult stem cells have the same ability to develop and replicate in a wide variety of forms, a property known to health science as "pluripotency."

"As a nation, we're involved in this 'false' debate as to whether we can use embryonic stem cells," said Drapeau. "The public should put this entire debate aside and shift focus to adult stem cells." Drapeau agrees with the opinion of Dr. David A. Prentice, of Georgetown University Medical Center, stating that "supporting the release of your own cells is the easiest, safest and most efficient way of using stem cells."

In human beings, adult stem cells are most abundantly found in bone marrow from birth onward. Drapeau states, "There is evidence that in some people, over a lifetime, the number and quality of these cells circulating through the body gradually decreases. This may make these people more susceptible to age-related health challenges."

"One key advantage of utilizing adult stem cells," said Drapeau, "is that they are not foreign to the body and are not as immature as embryonic stem cells, thus thwarting the problems of immune rejection and possible tumor formation."

An outcome of twelve years of research, Drapeau has formulated a blend of extracts from a widely consumed aquatic botanical that supports the release and migration of these adult stem cells. The patented product has been clinically shown to increase the number of circulating stem cells in the bloodstream by up to 30%. The product is marketed exclusively by StemTech Health Sciences, Inc., as StemEnhance(tm).

He offers this perspective on the hot topic," The body is an amazing creation, if you simply help it to work at optimal levels, it will facilitate wellness on its own."

Christian Drapeau will present his "Stem Cell Theory of Renewal" in Bellevue, Washington at the Downtown Courtyard Marriott on November 21, 2006 at 7pm. STEMTech HealthSciences, Inc., VP Errol Lester follows with a short presentation about the company.
