Part II

Stem cells are part of the new age of medicine. Even if it had its beginnings centuries ago, today, because of advanced technology, its full potential can be powerfully and easily harnessed.

What is the intrinsic nature of a stem cell? There are three types:

But this again is like going through the history of stem cells. This was the general thinking then.

But now, medicine is changing in the way it views life. Why? Because recent studies have since shown strong evidence of something amazing.

Adult stem cells (ASC) were once generally considered multipotent. But today, there is reason to believe that adult stem cells have pluripotent and totipotent capabilities.

Therefore, is science expanding in knowledge, or is this proof that our bodies are evolving, adapting, surviving and even surpassing our own limitations?

The breaking news is this: adult stem cells were identified that appear even more primitive or pluripotent than embryonic stem cells. Translation: A persons very own stem cells can be harvested, stored and reintroduced into the body in strategic organs or tissues via injection.

Another approach is to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The use of adult stem cells transcends and bypasses all ethical boundaries facing embryonic stem cell research and approaches.
