Ageless Youth

I have been watching on the development of stem cell researches, and while the promise of healing and becoming young (again), and keeping young seems within reach, results seem elusive.

Then there was adult stem cell, where stem cells are taken from an adult person's fat extracts, and this gave almost everybody the instant hope of being healthy and youthful once again. Like it isn't long ago that umbilical cords were frozen in time, to be taken out for use when needed, but that the majority of the population in the world doesn't even have their umbilical cords in store.

So adult stem cell becomes the most viable solution.

Now, that dream may already be a reality. I attended a seminar that showed videos of the said beauty products and supplements, and even saw it with my own eyes when 3 volunteers were called up front, and Instantly Ageless was put to use!

Unbelievable?

Similar videos are found in YouTube. You gotta see it to believe it.

And if you want to try it, and any other products, you can get it here.

Can we hear from you? I'm excited, and I'll be waiting.

Till then!

US SCIENTISTS WARN OF STEM CELL FRAUD
-------------------------------------

SAN DIEGO - Clinics that offer to "bank" stem cells from the umbilical cords of newborns for use later in life when illness strikes are fraudsters, a top scientist in the United States said on Saturday.

Clinics in many countries allow parents to deposit stem cells from their newborn's umbilical cord with a view to using the cells to cure major illnesses that could occur later in life.

In Thailand, for example, parents pay in the region of US$3,600 ($5,080) to make a deposit in a stem cell bank, thinking they are taking out a sort of health insurance for their child.

But Dr Irving Weissman, director of the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University in California, said the parents were being fleeced by the stem cell bankers.

"Umbilical cords contain blood-forming stem cells at a level that would maintain the blood-forming capacity of a very young child," Dr Weissman told reporters at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"They could also have derived mesenchymal cells - fiberglass-like cells that have a very limited capacity to make scar, bone, fat - but they don't make brain, they don't make blood, they don't make heart, they don't make skeletal muscle, despite what various people claim," he said.

Dr Weissman said these "unproven stem cell therapeutic clinicians" tend to set up shop in countries with poor medical regulations.

A check by AFP, however, found websites for umbilical cord stem cell banks in European Union member states and in the United States.

"They do the therapies, then they let the patients go on their own, short of maybe US$50-US$150,000 for a therapy that has no chance - taken away from a family that needs them when they have an incurable disease," Dr Weissman said. "It is wrong."

The International Stem Cell Society is due to issue a report in April about unproven stem cell therapies such as banking a baby's umbilical cord blood for future use. AFP
