Are You Taking This Powerful Infection-Fighter?

            The vast majority of the population here on planet Earth has certainly heard of the beneficial, and often miraculous successes being experienced by people all over the world who are being treated with stem cells.  Unfortunately, receiving this stem cell treatment usually means travelling great distances, which often includes foreign countries.  At this time, there just aren’t many places one can go for such treatment.

            Well, this article is about stem cells and infections…what do stem cells have to do with infections?  Scientists have discovered that your body’s own bone marrow stem cells play a vital role in all infection-fighting processes throughout the entire body.  This means that bone marrow stem cells which reside in your body are directly involved in the control of all infections including bacterial and viral.

            A study which was recently performed by professor of pathology Ulrich von Adrian at the Harvard Medical School and published in the November 30, 2007 issue of “Cell” states:

            "Upon encountering an invader they immediately synthesize a defense, divide and mature, churning out new immune system cells such as dendritic cells and other leukocytes, right on the spot.

"This process changes the way we look at blood stem cells," says von Andrian."

          Basically, the healthier and more active your stem cells are, the better your response to infections and disease.  It really isn’t necessary to travel far and wide for stem cell injections…they are actually produced in your bone marrow and are circulating in your blood right now, as you sit in front of your computer monitor and read this article.  The only downside is, the stem cells are produced and circulate in such small numbers which aren’t nearly enough to heal one from a major disease. 

            To add insult to injury, your stem cells become less responsive and less effective as you age which may even be one of the primary causes of aging.  Anyway, I was recently doing some research on stem cells because of a neurological condition called Friedreich’s Ataxia which effects me.  Turns out, there’s an all-natural supplement (I would never take a supplement that wasn’t natural) which increases the production and circulation of bone marrow stem cells.  At the time of writing, I have been taking this supplement for almost 2 months and I am noticing a major improvement in my strength, balance, and co-ordination.  Click Here to read more about it.
