Healing Bones, Joints and Tissue With Your Own Stem Cells
Did you know that you have literally millions of stem cells contained in your body just waiting to be released so they can go to work healing your aches and pains? Research is proving that stem cells are by far the most promising and exciting hope for a cure in even the most dreadful diseases. For diseases or conditions like osteoarthritis, non-healing wounds, heart attack, stroke, multiple sclerosis, etc. or to enhance your healing of plastic surgery, simply extracting your own bone marrow stem cells and giving them back to you intravenously could perhaps provide the miracle you are looking for.
At my office, Personalized Regenerative Medicine is the new "Buzz" phrase which means in part, that we use your own tissues to heal you. That's right, your tissues, not drugs! For example, using your own bone marrow to assist your body to heal is the most advanced method we now offer. We can now take stem cells from a leg bone and give them right back to you via an intravenous drip. The procedure by all accounts is quick and virtually painless. It is also much more affordable compared to traveling to another country for umbilical cord stem cells. While you might be asking, "If they are my own stem cells, why doesn't my body release them for repair without any intervention?" The answer is, your body does...but not in the amounts needed to have a dramatic, rapid and complete healing. In addition, as we age (you knew this was coming) less stem cells are being released and sent to the site of the injury which is the main reason we don't heal as quickly when we get older.
Stem cells have the unique property of being able to reproduce indefinitely. While stem cells can create more of themselves, they also give rise to specialized cells, tissues, and even organs when these need repair or replacement. Early stage embryos consist mainly of stem cells, while in adults, stem cells are not as abundant but are found in nearly every tissue and organ of the body. The bone marrow, however, appears to serve as THE major reservoir for stem cells.
Every day, your blood vessels are injured and need repair. This blood vessel damage results from the wear and tear on these delicate inner linings from high cholesterol, fats, sugar, hypertension, etc. and leads to their degeneration into atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes. These blood vessel injuries have been shown to be healed by stem cells that come out of the bone marrow and circulate in the blood. Indeed, one of the reasons that we grow old and die is due to aging of our stem cells which lessens our body's ability to repair these daily inner blood vessel injuries. This creates ever-escalating blood vessel disease after the age of 60 with increased calcium deposition and the formation of atherosclerosis. A person's own bone marrow stem cells have been shown to be helpful in treating heart attacks and congestive heart failure. Bone marrow stem cells injected into damaged tissues such as those found in aheart attack or brain attack (stroke)have a number of healing properties. Scientists have discovered now that bone marrow stem cells have actually become identical to the surrounding tissue, depending upon which cell type they are injected into. Another way stem cells help injured tissues to heal is by the release of growth factors into the damaged tissues. In this article of Regenerative NewsSM, we are focusing on osteoarthritis, which is otherwise known as degenerative joint disease or DJD. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of pain and disability in middle-aged and older people. The mechanisms responsible for osteoarthritis remain poorly understood, but researchers have learned that the degeneration of joint cartilage is not simply the result of aging and mechanical wear, but also due to a lack of repair of the weight-bearing joint cartilage and the underlying bone due to depletion and/or functional alteration of stem cells. This would suggest that in joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, providing the deficient stem cells would contribute to normal healing. Up until now surgeons could onlyclean up and remove either thewhole joint or joint surfaces with the hope of decreasing symptoms and restoring or maintaining a functional joint. But now that your own bone marrow stem cells are available, this has all changed recent work has shown the potetial for the restoration of a joint surface! We believe that the use of your own bone marrow stem cells, especially in combination with other healing and anti-inflammatory therapies could be of tremendous benefit for you now as an arthritic- not in some unknown future time after all the debates about embryonic stem cells die down.
For example, when 10 million bone marrow stem cells were injected into the knee joints of animals with induced osteoarthritis there was evidence of marked regeneration of the medial meniscus, and implanted cells were detected in the newly formed tissue. The degeneration was reduced in the celltreated joints compared to joints treated with a placebo. Additional studies are showing that bone marrow stem cells' repair of cartilage defects may be enhanced in elderly patients who have a loss of stem cells and cartilage- forming cells that occurs with age. Clinically, most people have more than one joint that hurts. In these cases, simply giving your stem cells back to you by an IV gives relief from pain often within one or two days. In some cases the relief comes within a few weeks.
Before you have a bone marrow transplant, or at least concurrently, avoidance of sugars as well as cleansing of the body of infections and poisons should be done to minimize any toxic or infectious burdens from hindering the newly growing cartilage. Extracting bone marrow stem cells and giving them back to the person, either by an IV drip, or injected in or around an arthritic joint is perfectly legal according to our FDA attorney. So there are simply no excuses for not taking advantage of bone marrow stem cells' exciting promise right here, right now.
My wife Noyemy was my first patient and her arthritis pain virtually disappeared within 24 hours! Noyemy also had early macular degeneration and a couple of days ago she had a complete eye exam and the doctor and the two of us were very excited to see that now a month after her bone marrow transplant there was virtually no evidence of macular degeneration! [See her testimony on page 4].
If you or a loved one need help and have found that standard medical care has been unsatisfactory, you might consider having a bone marrow stem cell transplant. While perfectly legal by FDA and AMA standards, it would be called experimental by most physicians simply because (even though studies have been going on for many years) it is considered a "new" therapy. But don't wait for their multi-million dollar, double-blind, placebocontrolled trials, and the resultant exorbitant cost of stem cells to pay for those trials. Your own stem cells are affordable, safe and available today. Call (800) 300-1063 for an appointment or to talk to Noyemy about her experiences with having a bone marrow transplant.
In our office waiting room, we have a binder of hundreds of studies (and more binders to come) that are overwhelmingly positive on the use of bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells for all manner of disease. Come into the office and ask to see the binder.

Healing Breast Cancer with Haelan
After refusing surgery for breast cancer, a woman turns to a fermented soy supplement- with remarkable results
By Donna Sage, MS. S.A.
Haelan is a uniquely processed soy supplement. In addition to demonstrating anti-cancer effects, Haelan is anti-vira4 anti-allergy, and anti-inflammatory, and it is also a vasodilator. It has been shown in studies to improve brain, lung, heart, andliver functioning while strengthening the body on a cellular level. Tberefore, its effectiveness as a nutritional supplement covers a myriad of con- ditions, including but not limited to: HIV, multiple sclerosis, kidneyfail ure, liverproblems, lungproblems, Parkinson's disease, malaria, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, macular degeneration, ulcers, parasites, viral and bacterial infections, and acne. For more scientific discussion and research about Haelan, please refer to the JanuarylFebruary 1999 issue of the Well Being Journal, which is available as a back issue (see page 40) or on the website http://www.wellbeingiournal.com/.
PATTY SOCCOMAN, age 64, was surprised when she noticed a lump in her right breast. A mother of six, grandmother of twelve, and great-grandmother of three, Patty had led an active life. An ultrasound in August 1997 revealed a suspicious mass. When imaged with mammography in October 1997, it was a 15xl5x2O-mm suspected cancer growth. Patty was diagnosed with ductile carcinoma that month. Her doctor hypothesized that the cancer had begun grow ing about 8 years prior to its appearance. This had been a time of stress for Patty. She believes stress was the prime factor in the cancer's development. Her doctor was very con cerned that the cancer had metastasized, and he recommended a comprehensive exam including a biopsy. The cancer had not spread at this point, but the biopsy revealed a malignant tumor. Patty's doctor proposed two courses of action, either a total mas tectomy or a lumpectomy with removal of the lymph nodes under her arm followed by aggressive radia tion. Patty wanted to keep her lymph nodes and wanted to start with the least invasive treatment options first. She chose a lumpectomy. The doctor was shocked that she didn't want her lymph nodes removed. When she arrived for surgery, he refused to do the lumpectomy, because she would not au thorize removal of the lymph nodes. This surgeon referred Patty to an oncologis t who tried to scare her into doing not only the lumpectomy, but also total removal of the lymph nodes under her arm. Patty encourages all cancer patients, especially women, not to be "bullied" into aggressive, and often mutilating, treatment protocols. She says, "My doc tor tried to scare me into surgery. I was anxious after my visit, because my doctor was so aggressive.... He said that if he was my husband, he would duct tape my mouth shut and force me to have the radical sur gery. I think he is liable for emotional malprac'tice.... That was the last time I went to that doctor!" After that, Patty chose to forego the lumpectomy altogether and continued to look for alternative therapies.
She and her husband (who is a holistic physician) went to a medical symposium, where she met an old friend who recommended supplementing with Haelan. fermented soy beverage. They also met Joe Todesco, whose company manufactures and imports Haelan. After several hours, they agreed that Haelan was worth a try.
Patty began drinking a bottle per day of Haelan on November 4, 1997. She had a follow-up mammogram six weeks later that revealed a significant decrease in tumor size. "I was amazed," reports her radiologist, Dr. Robert L. Turk, in a recent interview about Patty~s recovery from cancer. A third mammogram revealed a 50% reduction in the vessel supplying nutrients to the minute tumor. She had four more mammograms, and each time the tumor was measured, it had decreased in size.
Her most recent mammogram, in August 1999, revealed only a shadow where the dead tumor once was. Dr. Turk says, "The remaining [tissue -of the tumor] is an extremely small focus; the mass of the tumor has been continually cascading downward." He confirmed that there are no other nodes or other signs of cancer in the breast tissue. All of her organs have been scanned by Ultrasound, and there is no evidence of metastases.
When asked if he has seen comparable results with other treatments for breast cancer in his 32 years of experience, he said, "This doesrA occur; I have not seen these kinds of improvements.
Frankly, most people don't wait on surgery... The fact that Patty did was different. It has provided an unbelievable opportunity to follow her progress [with her natural choices]
Dr. Turk is skeptical about chemotherapy. He says, "Doctors sell treatments for cancer, not cures. They are always in opposition to opportunities like Haelan.... There is a great effort by the FDA to stop quacks' ... but you cannot assume that if the FDA apprUVC:b UH14-Cr treatments, they are safe." Haelan is an FDA-approved food supplement, but not an approved cancer treatment. When asked if he recommends Haelan, he responded with a chuckle, "My wife is on it, if that is any indication!" Mrs. Turk is surviving colon and liver cancer.
In addition to drinking Haelan, Patty supplemented with flax oil, COQ10, and fresh vegetable and fruit juices; she also took 40 chelation treatments and supplemented with Vitamin C. She began eating at least 80% raw, organic foods in her diet. She eliminated sugar and alcohol, got an air purifier, and shifted more of her attention to prayer and faith. She also rented funny movies and cassettes to stimulate her killer T-cell production. Patty says, "I am so happy. If i had gone with chemotherapy or radiation, I would not have had the quality of life through all of this. I might not even be alive!"
Patty attributes her recovery primarily to Haelan and a strong faith in God. She took a full bottle a day for seven months and currently continues on a maintenance dose of two ounces morning and night. She also gives credit to the significant lifestyle and nutritional improvements for maintaining her cancer-free body. Patty says that her cancer was a wake- up call, an opportunity for her to assess all aspects of her life, and that she is thankful for her second chance at life. She hasn't missed a beat.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. It is a condition that affects 3-6 million Americans. People with this syndrome may also experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms. The symptoms generally first develop between the ages of 20 and 30 and may come and go in cycles. Sharp stabbing pains associated with this condition often appear in the neck, in the head and in the shoulder blades and arms. The pain may also be felt in the chest muscles and lower back, and sometimes in the jaw.
Fibromyalgia may also result in dull aches in the thighs, hips and shoulder muscles. Medications, physical therapy, massage and other traditional treatments have all proved ineffective in providing any long term relief. The condition is commonly aggravated by a number of factors, including emotional stress, fatigue, unaccustomed exertion and even damp and cold weather. Although the exact cause of fibromyalgia is uncertain, many sufferers report having one or more head traumas. All digital real time EEG Neurofeedback has helped many reduce their symptoms on a permanent basis. It works by improving central nervous system functioning.
Clear Mind Center has created the unique NeuroIntegration System, a ground-breaking approach in multi-dimensional brainwave therapy. The combination of EEG neurofeedback, photic stimulation, motion therapy, and auditory/visual programs can create powerful, long lasting results. This sophisticated training technology can provide rapid improvement in brain and body function, unleashing your potential, and creating your optimal future.
