This is letter 4 in a series on adult stem cells and your health.
In this letter, several different recent studies using stem cells are quoted; this will help bring a real sense of how important stem cells are to our health in general, and especially in preventing premature aging and aging diseases.
Plus, you get a chance to see how simple; easy; and LOW COST our product is, compared to the other adult stem cell therapies in use today!
MISCELLANEOUS STEM CELL FACTS AND SOURCES
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a small study, a treatment that included stem cell 20 transplantation induced prolonged insulin independence in patients with newly diagnosed type 1, or insulin-dependent, diabetes.
In a statement, lead author Dr. Julio C. Voltarelli, from the Regional Blood Center in Ribeiro Preto, Brazil, called the results "very encouraging."
While the same approach has been used in other autoimmune disorders, the current study, to the author's knowledge, represents the first time the approach has been used in human type 1 diabetes.
In type 1 diabetes, a person's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Preserving beta cells is a key concept in the management of type 1 diabetes and in the prevention of its related complications.
Voltarelli's team tested the ability of high-dose immune suppression and stem cell transplantation to preserve beta cell function in 15 patients who were diagnosed with type I diabetes in the previous 6 weeks. All of them required insulin.
Stem cell transplantation involves the harvesting and treatment of a patient's own stem cells and then returning them to the patient via intravenous injection.

During follow up, 14 patients became insulin-free -- 1 for 35 months, 4 for at least 12 months, and 7 patients for at least 6 months. Two "late responders" were insulin-free for 1 and 5 months, respectively.
While further study is needed, Dr. Jay S. Skyler, from the University of Miami, comments in a related editorial, "the time may indeed be coming for starting to reverse and prevent type I diabetes."

Living Forever?
There is potential for humans to mimic the biologically immortal hydra, by exploiting our stem cells in the regeneration of organs damaged by age-related diseases. The=2 ability of adult stem cells, which remain in the body throughout life, to regenerate heart muscle cells has already been demonstrated in mice. Organs regenerated this way would in effect be brand new, and "younger" than all the other tissues and organs. Such regeneration might not immediately boost life's span, but should greatly improve its quality in old age.
Stem cells may fix brain
Research in mice suggests that neural stem cells may be more effective in repairing damaged brain tissue than previously believed, a finding that could lead to new treatments for stroke and other brain trauma in humans.
University of California, San Francisco researchers found that neural stem cells from the brain's subventricular zone quickly repaired damaged cerebral tissue in newborn mice, Agence France Presse reported.

Reverse your age
How far back can the clock go for stem cell patients? Ideally five to 10 years. And if, as Dr. Maffetone says in his book In Fitness and In Health, people improve the quality of their lives through healthy choices, the average human life expectancy can reach 120.While most people want to age gracefully, others wish to improve the quality of their lives despite a health challenge.
Frequently Asked Questions about StemPlex

Who should not use StemPlex?
There are no indications for anyone not to use Ste mPlex, but if you have a medical condition or are taking any prescription medication, we recommend that you consult with your health care professional.

Does StemPlex need to be taken with food or can it be taken by itself?
StemPlex can be taken with or without food. Taking StemPlex with food may slightly increase the absorption of fat-soluble substances like vitamin D.

Should you take both capsules of StemPlex at the same time?
It is best to take both capsules at 20 the same time. StemPlex is formulated to match the concentration that was used in the research.

Is there any advantage to taking more than the recommended amount of two capsules of StemPlex per day?
We have no data b eyond the recommended amount of two capsules of StemPlex per day. We have no reason to 20 believe that there is further benefit from taking more than two capsules per day. Since toxicity can occur from consuming large amounts of vitamin D, we don't recommend taking more than four capsules per day.

Is there caffeine in the green tea extract?
The green tea extract contains very little caffeine. In the final formula, the amount of caffeine is less than 2 mg per serving, or less than two-tenths of one percent. (As a comparison, an 8-oz cup of coffee contains 60 to 150 mg.)

What form of vitamin D is used in StemPlex?
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form of vitamin D used in this product. It is obtained from lanolin, an oil that is pressed from wool.

What is the source of carno sine?
Carnosine is derived from a microbial fermentation process - similar to how fungal enzymes are produced. Carnosine is sometimes derived from feathers or hair, but after carefully researching this matter with our vendor, we determined that the carnosine we use is not derived from an animal source. It is derived from a microbial fermentation process.

Is the Aphan izomenon flos-aquae in StemPlex the same as that in a competitive product, StemEnhance?
StemPlex contains whole Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and other nutrients that have been shown to increase the proliferation of stem cells. StemEnhance is reported to contain two extracts of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.

Does supplementing the use of StemPlex with enzymes help StemPlex become more available?
Although it is perfectly fine to take this product all by itself , it is true that using it in conjunction with enzymes will assist in the digestion and availability of the ingredients in StemPlex.

Does StemPlex stop working after a period of use?
Animal testing data suggests that the product works for continued periods of time, priming the stem cells to be ready when needed by the body.

What evidence shows that StemPlex is safe for long-term use?
StemPlex is a combination of several natural ingredients (blueberries, green tea, vitamin D, Super Blue Green® Algae, and carnosine, a naturally-occurring amino acid) that have been consumed by humans for decades or, in the case of blueberries and green tea, hundreds of years without adverse effects.

Do the ingredients in StemPlex increase cell proliferation?
The combination of natural ingredients in StemPlex increase stem cell proliferation in a safe and efficient manner. However, if you have a pre-existing medical condition you should always consult with a health care professional prior to taking this or any other dietary supplement.

Does the body produce only a limited number of stem cells per day while on the product?
The body naturally produces a certain "limited" amount of stem cells per day. For consumers of this product, researchers predict that more stem cells will be available in the bone marrow and other parts of the body.*

What clinical evidence shows that taking StemPlex will promote good health?
We are planning human studies, and results of animal studies t hat have been done will be available as soon as that data can be released. The results of in vitro studies have been published and the report is available from Simplexity.

What is the lay interpretation of Dr. Bickford's scientific article?
Dr. Bickford's article reports the effect of the ingredients in the StemPlex formula on the proliferation (growth) of stem cells. Three types of adult stem cells were tested and were shown to increase the proliferation by as much as 70% in vitro. The research article is available for purchase from Simplexity.

Since the testing was done in vitro, =2 0 will the product have any effect in the body (in vivo)?
The data presented is published in peer reviewed scientific literature. To date the only published literature on StemPlex shows data on human stem cells in culture (in vitro). Research is continuing on this formulation to show the effect in the body (in vivo). The results of ongoing animal studies indicate positive effects in vivo. The animal studies will be available as soon as that data can be20released.

How does StemPlex interact with our DNA?
There is no data to suggest that the ingredients in StemPlex interact with DNA.

The study estimated the number of stem cells =2 0 by a process which measures mitochondrial activity. Is this a good measure of stem cell count?
Studies have shown that the MTT assay accurately reflects the number of stem cells in the culture and this is the reason that this assay was chosen by the scientists who did the research.
