Participants of the study rested for one hour before establishing a baseline level. The first blood samples were taken then the volunteers were given &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;StemEnhance™&lt;/span&gt; or placebo. After this, blood samples were again taken at 30,60 and 120 minutes after taking the consumables. The number of circulating stem cells was quantified by analyzing the blood samples using Flourescence-Activated Cell Sorting. It was shown that the consumption of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;StemEnhance™&lt;/span&gt; triggered a 25 to 30% increase in the number of circulating stem cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In September of 2005 a study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine which suggested that the number of circulating stem cells has a direct correlation to overall heart health. (Sept 8,2005, 353(10):999-1007). This is convincing evidence that adults stem cells are involved in maintaining normal body function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;StemEnhance™&lt;/span&gt; cures nothing. It does however lead to more stem cells being released into the bloodstream from YOUR OWN bone marrow.

These compounds are extracted using a proprietary process that uses no chemicals or harsh agents. One of the extracts, which contains a L-selectin ligand, supports the release of stem cells CD-34+ cells from the bone marrow. The other extract which is called Migratose, is polysaccharide-rich and may support the migration of stem cells out of the blood tissues where it is most needed. Also, included in this extracted formula is a biogenic amine phenyl ethyl amine(PEA). PEA is known to elevate mood and increase concentration and mental energy and clarity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;StemEnhance™ cures nothing. It does however lead to more stem cells being released into the bloodstream from YOUR OWN bone marrow. With this increase of stem cells into our bodies the stem cells are given the opportunity to do the work renewing tissue which may restore health to our bodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, StemEnhance™ enables your body to help itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stem Enhance is a patented product that is designed to enhance your body's usage of its own stem cell production.

Together with his colleague, Dr. Gitte Jensen, they discovered that this plant has two unique components that, when they are isolated, have the ability to support the natural release of stem cells from our own bone marrow. This was a scientific breakthrough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, in the year 2000, these two scientists exchanged views and ideas with Howard Newman, the owner of Desert Lake Technologies. Desert Lake Technologies has had vast experience in aquaculture in the harvesting of this water-botanical. This team was the beginning of the vision they shared about a new way of understanding how the body is able to keep itself healthy. It was then in 2002 that they filed for a patent on the product which is now named StemEnhance™.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2002, in the medical journal &lt;em&gt;Medical Hypotheses&lt;/em&gt;, the theory was published and other scientists from around the world continued to publish research that would further strengthen what Drapeau and Jensen believed they had discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stem Enhance is a patented product that is designed to enhance your body's usage of its own stem cell production. It is available at the following web site and may be purchased for less than $60.00 a month.

The patient, a 57-year old former fighter pilot, is still without symptoms three years after the adult neural stem cells were removed from his brain, coaxed into becoming dopamine-producing cells, and then reimplanted. Because the stem cells came from the patient, there was no need for immunosuppression to overcome rejection. "I think transplantation of the patient's own neural stem cells and differentiated dopaminergic neurons is more biologically and physiologically compatible - more efficacious and more elegant," said Levesque. In addition to its use for Parkinson’s, the technique is under study for juvenile diabetes, stroke, brain tumors, spinal cord injury, and other conditions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Results presented April 8th 2002, at the meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;A brand new patented product that is designed to enhance your body's usage of its own stem cell production is available at this web site:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.stemcellresearchinfo.com/"&gt;Stem Cell Research Info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER - The information on this Blog is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

According to the follow-up study of six patients the team noted, " We've been following the six participants for over a year, and we found they've improved on the average, nearly 50% in motor function. " The retinal cells used were taken from deceased donors and grown in the lab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was reported in the New Scientist , April 18, 2002. &lt;em&gt;Note: There are no clinical treatments for Parkinson’s based on cloning or embryonic stem cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Certainly, there have been more studies done similar to this since 2002 yet still this treatment is not approved or made available to the people who suffer with Parkinson's disease. A possible alternative for those who are waiting for treatments to be approved might be to try a natural product called Stem Enhance. Stem Enhance is a patented product that is designed to enhance your body's usage of its own stem cell production. It is available at the following web site and may be purchased for less than $60.00 a month. If it were me I would give it a try --- what would I have to lose but $60.00?... this would be a small price to pay for the chance to have my life back.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Visit this Website to Read More...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.stemcellresearchinfo.com/"&gt;Stem Cell Research Info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER - The information on this Blog is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

When the areas of the body are need of renewal they send out a signal and then your own stem cells are released and travel through the blood stream to the areas or tissues of the body they are in need. Through the body’s own intelligence it knows which organs or tissues of the body are in need of regeneration or renewal and releases your own stem cells to go out and do the work of renewing those areas in your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, based on this theory, why aren’t our bodies always made new?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems the ability of your own stem cells to be released by the bone marrow and the quality of the stem cells released by the bone marrow both appear to decrease with age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question: Could there or is there a way to enhance the quality and release of your own stem cells?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER - The information on this Blog is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

Very simply put, this is the basic difference between the two types of stem cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Embryonic Stem Cells&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;These stem cells come from the very early embryo and they are unique in that they have the ability to duplicate themselves outside of the body…such as in a petri dish or test tube. The embryonic stem cells were the first stem cells to be research by scientists and in when it was discovered that they grew very easily and quite rapidly under laboratory conditions a lot of focus was put on them. Scientists were successfully growing any type of cell – heart cells, liver cells, brain cells, bone cells, and more -- from the embryonic stem cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adult Stem Cells&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Adult stem cells are only found in the body after birth. Additionally, they do not duplicate themselves well &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; of the human body. So, in the beginning of this research, it was thought that the embryonic stem cells were superior to the adult stem cells for this reason. However, in the past few years, it has been discovered that adult stem cells, even though they are not well duplicated in a test tube or petri dish, they do grow just as rapidly and easily as the embryonic stem cells &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;inside&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; the human body. Hence, they have the capabilities of the embryonic stem cells, but only from the environment of the human body itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have this understanding, it seems the biggest question is how and where do we harvest these stem cells? My questions are, how many stem cells can be taken from embryos and how many embryos must be used as well as where do we get the adult stem cells from and what procedure is used to retrieve them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER - The information on this Blog is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

So, in my search for information, I "Googled" &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stem Cells&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and I came up with more information than I could use. I really wanted to start from the basics. I wanted to know what exactly a stem cell is before I could go about understanding what all the controversy was about. So here is what I found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Basics of What a STEM CELL is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to duplicate itself, again and again, without any encouragement or drug intervention. It does so naturally. It is the way the body was intended to work. A stem cell, can in fact, duplicate itself in a manner that it can become the cells of any organ or body tissue. So, muscles, bones, joints, liver, heart, stomach, hair and so on, can all benefit from newly duplicating stem cells.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this understanding, I can now see why this type of treatment is so sought after by those who are ill and struggling with disease. If it were me, I would want to be able to utilize the miracle of stem cells as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER - The information on this Blog is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
