A different kind of food supplement

[jeanpierre]

Stem Enhance is actually a renamed product

years ago, a company called Cell Tech promoted a similar product called Super Blue Green Algae

the product was found to have high levels of toxins (microcystins) that can cause liver damage

and there was a lawsuit that forced Cell Tech to refund customers coz of false claims about the product

Stem Enhance was then created by the same people behind Cell Tech to continue selling the blue-green algae food supplement

Sinagot na yan ng STEM TECH. Eto ang link

Hahaha...Madami na sana americans plus people from 13 other countires namatay sa pag take ng STEM ENHANCE kung totoo yan .Imagine sa america lang mahigit na 4 years eto nasa market. Do you think FDA will allow to continue selling Stem Enhance if they recieve complaints about the product? Eh wrong claim nga lang about a product pwede na sila shutdown ng FDA yan pa kaya involved buhay ng tao

bottom line is, people do not need to take that supplement to stay healthy

just maintain a healthy lifestyle and you'll stay healthy

that Stem Enhance thing is just another one of those cure-alls

there is NO cure all

none

just maintain a healthy lifestyle and you'll stay healthy

Congratulations! I wish all people are healthy as you are. I hope you are really keeping your words living a healthy lifestyle because I believe in this new millennium, most of us live a stressful life. Ang alam ko kasi only dead people ang walang stress....hehehe
As far as I know, the product has changed so many lives and one of those who benefited is my wife's brother who've survived 6 brain operations due to brain tumor. If that is not impressive to you, bahala ka na.
There are still people who are in need and willing to try and gained benefits from it. There will always be negative people like you but I hope someday if you or one of your family member will be in desperate medical need like my wife's brother, you should not discourage them from trying and knowing the product. Debating will lead us nowhere dahil unang una hindi naman ako expert capable of answering all your questions. I'm just basing on documented facts approved by credible organizations and medical publications plus positive results from people who tried it at kami mismo naka experience din. Kaya bottom line is, I just encourage people to try the product and let the product speak for itself

Aw! naglipana na naman yata ngayon ang MLM companies......

this is from a pro-Stem Enhance website:

http://www.enhancestemcellsnaturally...dicalstudy.htm

Consumption of StemEnhance® resulted in a 25 ± 1% increase in the number of circulating stem cells at 60 minutes (p< 0.0001). The number of circulating CD34+ stem cells returned to baseline level around 3-4 hours after consumption. This was in contrast to placebo, which resulted in only minor fluctuations of the levels of CD34+ cells in the blood circulation over 2 hours.

In order to test the repeatability of the effect of consumption of StemEnhance® on the levels of CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood, 16 separate experiments were performed on one volunteer. The average increase in the number of circulating stem cells was 53 ± 16%, with a median of 36% and a highest and lowest increase of 233% and -4%, respectively).

Type 2 diabetics are definitely familiar with a drug called Actos (generic name Pioglitazone)

Pioglitazone stimulates circulating CD34+

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18639363

Circulating bone marrow derived immature cells, including CD34-positive (CD34(+)) cells, contribute to maintenance of the vasculature, not only as a pool of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), but also as a source of growth/angiogenesis factor. We hypothesized that the thiazolidinedione compound pioglitazone could stimulate the circulating CD34(+) cells in diabetic patients. Thirty-four patients with type 2 diabetes received 15-30 mg pioglitazone for 24 weeks. The number of circulating CD34(+) cells significantly increased at 12 and continued this effect for 24 weeks (1.08+/-0.39, 1.34+/-0.34 and 1.32+/-0.28cells/microl at 0, 12 and 24 weeks, respectively). The change of CD34(+) cell levels (DeltaCD34(+) cells) between 0 and 12 weeks was significantly correlated with the change of high sensitive C reactive protein levels (Deltahs-CRP) and change in adiponectin levels (Deltaadiponectin) (r=-0.412, r=0.359, respectively). Our study demonstrated that pioglitazone treatment increased circulating CD34(+) cells, suggesting that this effect may at least partly contribute to the anti-atherosclerotic action of pioglitazone.

magkano ang pioglitazone?

P13.00 per 15mg tablet sa Generics Pharmacy

kung mag research lang po kayo, there are other compounds that can do what Stem Enhance can do

and costs much less

Hahaha...dapat dude nag research ka muna bago mo sabihin na ang gamot mo kaparehas ng function ng Stem Enhance at mas mura. Ang layo ng gamot mo sa capacity ng Stem Enhance to mobilize our adult stem cells. Research mo ingredients ng Stem Enhance at ingredients ng gamot mo. Saka pwede ka ba bigyan Exclusive patent sa US kung meron kaparehas? Kaya nga they are proud to claim that it is the World's First Patented and clinically proven stem cell enhancer in the market.. Kung hindi totoo yan di sana na shutdown o nakasuhan na StemTech for false claim.

here's your lousy patent:

US Patent 6814961 - Method for enhancing stem cell trafficking
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6814961.html

have you read the whole thing?

maybe you havent

Abstract
Consumption of blue-green algae, or extracts thereof, enhances trafficking or homing of stem cells in animals by inducing a transient increase in the population of stem cells present in the animal's circulatory system. The animal may be healthy or suffering some disease or physiological condition.

A method for enhancing CD34 stem cell trafficking in a subject, comprising: administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an Aphanizomenon species of blue-green algae, or a component thereof; and detecting CD34 stem cells in the peripheral blood of the subject,

it's A METHOD for enhancing CD34

A METHOD

not the only method

Stem Enhance doesnt have a monopoly on methods for enhancing CD34

THEY FILED A PATENT FOR A METHOD

the method is using blue green algae to enhance CD34

there are other methods for enhancing CD34

like the example i posted above

again, the patent is for a method for enhancing CD34 by using blue green algae

the patent is not for AFA

they do not own AFA

AFA is a blue green algae

an organism found in nature

they can't patent the organism

Ever heard of fucoidan?

guess not

coz the only thing you know is the product you're pushing

fucoidan is a compound found in brown seaweed

guess what fucoidan does

Fucoidan ingestion increases the expression of CXCR4 on human CD34+ cells
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17533053

OBJECTIVE: Transplantation of hematopoietic progenitor stem cells (HPC) is an important treatment modality for a variety of neoplastic diseases. HPC collection for transplantation with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may be unsuccessful in patients who have received prior chemotherapy or for other reasons. Methods to improve mobilization of HPCs are required. Disruption of the interaction between the cell surface receptor CXCR4 and its ligand stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a mechanism for HPC release from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood (PB). METHODS: We carried out a clinical trial to evaluate the effects of ingestion of a fucoidan, galactofucan sulfate (a putative HPC mobilizing agent) on circulating CD34(+) cells, CXCR4 expression, and levels of SDF-1, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 12. RESULTS: Following ingestion of fucoidan, CD34(+) cells increased significantly in the PB from 1.64 to 1.84 cells/microL after 4 days. The proportion of CD34(+) cells that expressed CXCR4 increased from 45 to 90% after 12 days, the plasma level of SDF-1 increased from 1978 to 2010 pg/mL, and IFN-gamma level increased from 9.04 to 9.89 pg/mL. CONCLUSION: Oral fucoidan significantly amplified the CXCR4(+) HPC population. The ability to mobilize HPC using sulfated polysaccharides and mobilize more HPC with high levels of CXCR4 could be clinically valuable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucoidan

Another clinical study to determine the effects of ingested Undaria-derived-fucoidan on hematopoietic stem cells was carried out at UTAS, Australia. Scientists found that there was a small increase in total numbers of CD34+ cells, and a profound increase, from 40% to 90% in the proportion of CD34+ cells that expressed CXCR4 when 75% Undaria fucoidan was ingested. A smaller increase was noted when Undaria containing 10% w/w fucoidan was ingested. The ability to mobilize HPCs with high levels of CXCR4 expression could be clinically valuable.

AND guess freaking what

there's a stem cell supplement that contains fucoidan



http://www.colostrum4health.com/shop...lostrum&pid=20

New Image have developed their First Generation stem cell product by combining 3 key ingredients that support a healthy stem cell population:

Colostrum 400mg
Fucoidan 40mg
Resveratrol 25mg

ADULT STEM CELLS
Adult stem cells are made in the bone marrow and get released to circulate in the blood of adults when required for tissue repair.

Adult stem cells are NOT embryonic stem cells which come from the fertilised egg and developing embryo.

Adult stem cells are the body’s source of regenerating new tissue cells to re-build old, worn out and damaged tissues.

Stem cell levels decline with age – link to ageing. Stem cell therapies are the hottest medical research area in anti-ageing and regenerative medicine

your precious little product is not the only stem cell product out there

"A different kind of food supplement"?

haha

there are others and there will be others

everyone is jumping on the stem cell bandwagon

[jeanpierre]

here's your lousy patent:

Wow, what an understatement!Imagine ilang years din nila research, tested and defended before nabigyan ng patent tapos sasabihin mo lang na lousy patent. We should at least give credit to people who mastered their field just to be rediculed by someone who I'm sure just know little about their field. Can anyone and anything be filed for patent and be approved so easily? Don't these people deserve credit for dedicating years of their lives to come-up with a product that can improve people's health? The best we can do is to learn from them and be open minded. Kanya kanya tayo ng specialty eh.
