Mesenchymal Stem Cells (aka Stem Cells)

For many it is shocking to hear just how simple stem cells are despite their miraculous ability to heal the body from so many different ailments. It's actually this simplicity that gives them such universality. When we are young and still developing many cells in our body are stem cells, stem cells are cells that haven't yet dedicated themselves to a specific role in the body. While they are still stem cells they have the ability to become any tissue in the body, to regulate existing cells and tissues, and to donate mitochondria to aging or damaged cells (mitochondria produce energy for cells).

Each day over 50 million cells in the human body die. Luckily, when we are young and have an abundance of stem cells, this doesn't matter. Stem cells turn into the lost cell type and replace the dead cells. As we age, our reserve of stem cells is depleted. Eventually when our cells die they are not replenished, and we start falling apart.

Interestingly, as we age we start falling apart even before we run out of stem cells. All of our cells, including our stem cells, function worse as they become older. This may be due to dysregulation of cellular activities, or disfunction of the mitochondria powering the cellular activities.

As cells age their communication and therefore their activities become poorly regulated and the human body enters a state of disarray. This disarray leads to disease and death. Our cells use molecules such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and even fats and carbohydrates to communicate and to elicit action from themselves and other cells.

Young stem cells from healthy donors perfectly excrete these regulating molecules, causing the rest of the cells to function more as they once did before any aging. It's quite simple when you think about it, most health ailments wouldn't exist if the body was functioning perfectly, and stem cells get the body to function much more perfectly. A healthy body is the greatest healer. Stem cells have not only been shown to greatly improve healing, including the spinal cord and brain, but also to help with other conditions such as autoimmune and autism.

Interestingly, while stem cells have the ability to become any type of cell in the entire body, the current evidence supports that most of the healing effects come from the reprogramming of other cells. This has been termed the stem cell paracrine effect.


On top of the paracrine effect, stem cells also donate their mitochondria to existing cells of the body. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, it provides the energy for nearly all other processes to take place. Even if the cell should otherwise function perfectly, if the mitochondria is impaired, cells will not function properly, like a car without an engine. Luckily we now have the ability to replace our mitochondria and breath life back into our cells!

Through these three primary actions, replacement of cells, regulation of cellular function, and replacement of mitochondria, stem cells are able to greatly improve the overall function of the human body and it's ability to deal with ailments and injuries.

Communicating Molecules of the Human Body

Peptides
Perhaps you have heard of peptides. Peptides are a current medical craze, used for everything from healing to appetite reduction. They've taken up popularity for good reason, they are (some of) the natural messengers of the human body. They are the primary natural drugs/medications of the human body. There are over 7,000 naturally produced peptides in the human body! So while they are amazing and offer very real and very beneficial effects, you will never be able to do as good a job as a healthy human body at regulating them. That is not to say that individual peptides cannot be used in a beneficial manner, they can. Insulin is a great example of peptide that an be taken alone and greatly benefit people, because some people are lacking the ability to produce this one peptide. However as we age, all of our peptides become dysregulated, and while it can be beneficial to supplement a handful of them, it is best to properly regulate all 7,000+ of them. Luckily stem cells do this!

Stem cells, especially those from umbilical cord which are incredibly young, operate perfectly. They not only operate perfectly, but because they are stem cells, one of their roles is to tell all of your other cells how to operate perfectly! While they do still have the potential to turn into needed cells/tissues, the main role they have been shown to play when implanted into people is the regulatory role. Amazing things happen when your cells regain the ability to operate how they should.

To clarify, stem cells can produce and excrete all 7,000+ natural peptides of the human body! You can not match this by injecting peptides. Not only do they produce any peptide you need, but they also produce them in the correct quantities like a healthy young body would.

RNA
That's not all, they can also secrete various types of natural RNA molecules, and much more. In recent years many people injected synthetic mRNA molecules into their bodies. Please do not confuse the synthetic completely unnatural mRNA that was in covid vaccines with the natural RNA molecules in stem cells. The RNA that stem cells can secrete to give to your cells are the RNA that we are meant to have and we do have when we are young and healthy! RNA have many functions, one of which is to dictate which peptides and proteins are made. Another is that they can turn on and off genes in DNA. For good health you must have the proper RNA molecules in your body and stem cells is how to achieve that.

Immune System

Due to stem cells having the ability to turn into any cell, and also being able to regulate other cells they help the immune system in two main ways. They can become immune system cells, and they can also regulate the production of and function of immune system cells. Remember that stem cells are perfectly functioning young cells, and due to their function as regulators they are able to make even your older cells function like young cells. Whether you have an autoimmune condition or have a weak immune system, stem cells can help. For autoimmune, stem cells using both molecules on their surface and secreted molecules such as peptides, proteins, and RNA, they are able to reprogram your immune cells to stop being over active and stop attacking your own body.

Perhaps you know or regulatory T cells, Tregs for short. Tregs pick up self antigens (little pieces of you) and train the body to destroy B cells which would otherwise recognize these antigens and attack self tissue. Tregs also interact with and regulate CD4+ T cells. In many auto-immune diseases B cells and CD4+ T cells are not properly regulated by Tregs and destroy the person's own body. Stem cells have been shown to convert normal T cells into Tregs allowing more proper regulation of immune activity.

As mentioned, stem cells not only help autoimmune diseases, but diseases on the opposite side of the spectrum involving an under active immune response. This is because stem cells themselves can become much needed immune cells, and can program existing immune cells to function more properly. A little known fact about why an under active immune system is such a major problem is that the immune system is actually the natural regulator of cancer. Cancer should not be in the body, yet it often is, and is generally attacked and destroyed the same way your body gets rid of other things that don't belong like bacteria and viruses. In all likelihood, we all have cancer at some point in life, but most of us have properly functioning immune systems. Just as we can catch a cold and our immune system takes care of it, we can get cancer and our immune system takes care of it. It is when the immune system dysfunctions, or when cells gain such abnormal properties that the immune system cannot identify and destroy them, that cancer becomes a problem because it then grows uncontrollably.

Pages and even books could be written about all of this and it would take you years to gain a proper basic understanding before you could even understand them.

Our Stem Cells

We use lab expanded umbilical cord stem cells harvested from young mothers aged 18-25 years, checked for diseases and infections, and never from donors who have received covid vaccines.
