Failure, Tragedy and Those Special People that Make a Difference

2011-05-04T15:09:00.003-05:00

I have a confession to make. I made a commitment to start writing at least a couple of times a month and I have failed. I failed because every time I have come here to write...I read the last post I wrote to my Mother on Mother's Day last year and have become lost in the words and the emotions again and again. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get past the writers block that has stifled me. Then tragedy stepped in.

I met a new friend a month ago. She is in a new business I just got involved with. Her and her husband took time to meet up with me while on one of their trips to share ideas, knowledge and do some training with me....and it was just like meeting up with an old friend you haven't seen in awhile. You know what I mean there are some people you are just drawn to and everybody else around them is as well. She reminded me of my Mother in so many ways. Last night we got word that while doing a presentation my new friend had collapsed from an aneurism. She has had surgery and is in the hospital surrounded by family and friends whose lives she has touched. We are all praying for a complete recovery.

Then this morning my neighbor came over to let me know her Mother had passed away at the hospital suring the night. I met their family when I was 5 years old and we moved in next door. My new friends and my old friends have both been touched by tragedy.

Here we are just before Mother's Day with two families lives being touched in ways we would not want to imagine. Coming together to pray, to love, to comfort, to share our faith...and one family to grieve. This has given me a REASON to write. It has given me a REASON to reach out to everyone and remind you to say I Love You to those you love, say I am Sorry and Forgive Me. Tell people they are Important to you, that they are Special, that they Make a Difference, that you couldn't have done it without them.

In life there are no guarantees... and sometimes no second chances to say what is in our hearts. Even though I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my Mother knew how important she was to me, how much I loved her and that I truly appreciated having her as my mentor and to be able to follow in her footsteps... I wish I could have told her over and over and over again everything that I had wrote in the blog that I posted in tribute to her last year. I know because that is what I have been doing all year... reading the tribute to the woman that had touched my life in so many ways. Whispering the words to the Mother that had helped to shape me into the woman that I am today. Crying out to the mentor who INSPIRED ME, who taught me to DREAM, to BELIEVE, and that Can't Never Could and told me and actually helped me to believe I Could Make a Difference in This World because she sure made a DIFFERENCE IN MINE.

And now here I am writing again...sharing a little piece of my life with each and everyone of you HOPING and PRAYING that Mother was right and we can Make a DIFFERENCE.

Blessings my Friends,
Jacki Smith

Happy Mother's Day Super Woman

2010-05-09T22:53:00.004-05:00

This Mother's Day I spent time with my daughter Nicole. We went shopping this weekend and had lunch together. Later this evening while talking to a girlfriend I started thinking about my Mother. She passed away Sept. 14, 1996 so it has been a long time since I have had a mother-daughter talk.

One thing I need to make clear here I was raised by Super Woman. To say my Mom was multi-talented is an under statement. Here is a short list of some of her many talents.

The Most Honery child that her 9 brothers & sisters ever met...you should hear the stories about the spiders and grasshoppers
Owner and chef at her own restaurant
Pastry Chef
Rebuilt an engine in her car...more than once
Owned and managed several Automotive Paint & Body Repair Shops
Office Manager at a Funeral Home
Make-up artist for dead people
Record Holding Race Car Driver
Strong Christian
Gifted writer
Wrote Gospel and Country Western Songs (One C&W song was recorded)
Played the guitar and sang - you missed some great get togethers
Certified Tax Accountant
Owner Spurs & Spirits - Home of The Killer Burger
Owner The Diet Shoppe - probably because of all those Killer Burgers
Successful Network Marketer & Top 10 Money Earner - taught me everything she knew
Breast & bone cancer fighter
Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mom, Aunt, Step-mom, Meme (Grandma) & Great Grandma
My best friend
My Mentor
Teacher...Taught all her kids we could do ANYTHING! She had all the answers.
Super Woman...I could see the cape even if no one else could

The problem is I don't want to be Super Woman. I don't want to lose myself to trying to be all things and I don't want to know all the answers.

I have done a great many things already in this life. The most important being a mom to two awesome children that have become wonderful well-rounded adults.

What I want to be is a friend people can call on, someone to lean on, a shoulder to cry on. A coach as well as cheerleader for those that need it. A leader that my Mom would be proud of, she did teach me. I want to make a difference in this world....one person at a time. I want to inspire people that need help believing and I want my Mother to know that not only do I Love and Miss My Best Friend....I want to Thank her for bringing me up the way she did. I could not be who I am today if it weren't for you.

I Love You Mom. Happy Mothers Day!

Getting Past The Good, The Bad and The Ugly In Life

2010-01-07T00:12:00.007-06:00

Someone asked me today about my profile. It says I am a Health Coach and that I learned the full body approach to healing. Their question was "What is the full body approach to healing?" Below is my response.

I have learned to factor in the mind, body and spirit connection. When I first started working with clients including my early work with my Mother, I did not realize how big an impact stress, anger, pain, divorce, death, illness, etc. factored in to a person and their disease. I had to learn how to help with all aspects of the person including being able to help them to get past all the things bringing pain to them, causing anger, stressing them. I started to minister to them. My goal is to help them achieve a level of balance that will be condusive to healing. The Letting Go And Letting God deal with it approach really works.

Many of my clients, within 1 year to 5 years before their diagnosis experienced a parent or loved one dieing or having to care for them, a divorce, or a major illness. Studies show that the stress from these type of events can lead to diseases including cancer and in my group of clients it holds true.

One of the biggest lessons I learned early on was to let people tell me everything about their condition...I call this The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and it spans every doctors diagnosis and usually includes a dead date where some doctor has told them they have 3mths, 6mths, 1year, etc. to live. When they are done I simply ask them...."So what do you think? (pause)... Are you ready to die in ____mths/yrs?... Do you have a purpose?... Are there things you still want to do?... After many, many pauses and much thought I usually hear them say they want to live, they decide they have a purpose and start talking about what or whom is important to them, they decide it is time to start living every day instead of dieing every day.

Those moments I believe are the reason I have worked with thousands of clients over the last 13 years and will continue to do this for as long as I am able. They inspire me.

What inspires you?

Blessings to you,
Jacki Smith

The Gift He Gave To Me - My Tribute to Jim Rohn

2010-01-04T18:44:00.012-06:00

Jim Rohn passed away on December 5th, 2009. One of my favorite quotes he made is below as well as an article that I had saved. He has had a significant effect on my life and it will continue for as long as I live.

I pray that you find many leaders and mentors throughout your lifetime that touch your life the way he did mine.

“Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed”
Jim Rohn: Entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker

My Mother and I went to a Jim Rohn Conference in Dallas a few years before she died. While there they provided us with a handout that had a survey on it for us to fill out. We both filled it out and then I forgot about them.

After my Mother died I was going through some boxes of paperwork of hers and I found her survey. One of the questions asked "What was the Greatest Moment you have experienced in your life?" My Mother answered "Watching my little brother Michael be ordained as a minister." Wow! I knew my uncle would be honored to know that. He had even officiated at her funeral....probably one of the hardest things he has been asked to do.

Further down there was a question "If you could change anything about your life, what would you change?" My Mother answered "I would take better care of myself." My Mother could have made a conscious effort to make a change that day...but she didn't. She continued on the same path and in a few years was fighting cancer, not just once but twice. It was when they found the cancer had metastisized that she decided to make changes.

I got a call that day while at work. Mom said they had just discovered the breast cancer had spread to her bones and it was in 8 different places including her spine. They had given her a year to live and she wasn't ready to die and she asked for my help with her battle. I quit my job that day. Little did I know my life would change forever with that phone call. I was involved in Network Marketing part-time so I got busy and I built it to a full-time income over the next few months while learning all I could to help my Mom.

I worked with Mom for 3 1/2 years fighting cancer using the doctors standard protocol as well as diet and supplements. Some days she stuck to her diet. Some days she didn't. Every day there was stress. We had victories and we had defeats. It was the best and worst days for me. Best in that I was able to be there for my Mother and she lived for 3 1/2 years. Worst in the fact that I could not make choices for her. So when she ate wrong, got stressed, got bad reports....I could not change it. I had to learn to give it to God. I had to learn to support her choices and do all I could on those days that she would allow it. I learned each and every day I was with her. Those lessons have served thousands as I became a Health Coach after Mom died. I have volunteered my time to thousands of people fighting all different types of health challenges since then.

And after she died while reading that survey and remembering all the good times we were able to spend together, including that day with Jim Rohn, I read her answer and I made the answer my own. "I Choose to to Take Better Care of Myself.... Today, Tomorrow and each and every day in the future."

"If you could change anything about yourself...what would you change?"

The Best Gift to Give Yourself and Others by Jim Rohn

I’m often asked the question, “How can I best help my children, spouse, family member, staff member, friend, etc., improve/change?” In fact, that might be the most frequently asked question I receive, “How can I help change someone else?”

My answer often comes as a surprise and here it is. The key to helping others is to help yourself first. In other words, the best contribution I can make to someone else is my own personal development. If I become 10 times wiser, 10 times stronger, think of what that will do for my adventure as a father... as a grandfather... as a business colleague.

The best gift I can give to you, really, is my ongoing personal development. Getting better, getting stronger, becoming wiser. I think parents should pick this valuable philosophy up. If the parents are okay, the kids have an excellent chance of being okay. Work on your personal development as parents—that’s the best gift you can give to your children.

If you have ever ridden in an airplane, then you might have noticed the oxygen compartment located above every seat. There are explicit instructions that say, “In case of an emergency, first secure your own oxygen mask and then if you have children with you secure their masks.” Take care of yourself first... then assist your children. If we use that same philosophy throughout our whole parental life, it would be so valuable.

If I learn to create happiness for myself, my children now have an excellent chance to be happy. If I create a unique lifestyle for myself and my spouse, that will be a great example to serve my children.

Self-development enables you to serve, to be more valuable to those around you; for your child... your business... your colleague... your community... your church.

That’s why I teach development skills. If you keep refining all the parts of your character (yourself, your health, etc.) so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace, you’ll attract opportunity. Opportunity will then begin to seek you out. Your reputation will begin to precede you and people will want to do business with you. All of that possibility is created by working on the philosophy that success is something you attract by continually working on your own personal development.

To Your Success,
Jacki Smith

A Lesson In Forgiving

2009-03-05T19:47:00.009-06:00

Phyl, Doug and I were wrapped up in conversation on the phone the other day when the topic turned to forgiving. Doug admitted that he could not forgive the medical profession after the death of his loved one. I shared that I had a difficult time forgiving my father for the way he had treated my mother while she was ill, and it became even more difficult after she died.

I shared with them that I had turned to a minister friend for help with forgiving my dad. He advised me that I needed to find one good quality about my dad, even if it was "he ties his shoes correctly" and then say it over and over again until pretty soon I would be able to say it without having a lump in my throat. Then over time it would get easier and easier to find more good qualities about him, thus replacing the bad memories and feelings with positive ones.

Of course I am programmed a little different than most I have been told. So with that being said, the next day when I called my minister friend to share the good news that I had already found one good thing that I could say about my father, he was impressed. I then announced "that my father was an excellent sperm donor....since he had made me and my sister". At this point the minister giggled and said he thought I had a ways to go but to keep trying.

Then Doug shared an experience he had had back when he was working the 12 step program with Alcoholics Anonymous. He used to mouth off quite a bit and one day at the AA meeting he was talking about this guy that had ticked him off and Doug had said he ought to just shoot him. One of the guys at the meeting said Go ahead. Doug stated he didn't want to go to jail. Then the other guy said You know what you need to do? You need to get down on your knees and pray for him. Doug told him Why would I do that, I wouldn't mean it. The other guy told him Say the prayer anyway. Then tell God you don't mean it.... but you want to.

If you feel compelled to join us....Doug and I will be on our knees each night praying. We may not mean it now....but we want to.

Where Do You Find Your Inspiration

2009-02-12T15:46:00.008-06:00

A new person came into my life today & we spent a couple of hours on the phone together. She is in the middle of a cancer battle and is working very diligently to gain knowledge, de-stress her life, change her diet, exercise & absolutely keep God in the drivers seat.... all the while balancing her marriage, children, home-schooling, family, doctor visits, etc. and all the negativity that can sometimes be a part of our day to day lives.

We shared stories about our lives, tidbits of wisdom, a few words of advice, lots of faith, a few ideas & lots of laughs. She is strong and most of the battle is done. She had already changed her diet and she has all the Faith that God is in control. She also has four beautiful children to inspire her almost every moment of every day as she teaches them, watches their accomplishments, comforts them, plays, exercises, laughs and guides them through all of lives obstacles and trains them up to be amazing adults.

This is her inspiration.....my question is what is yours?

Today Is A Great Day

2009-02-08T14:16:00.014-06:00

There are days in life that are just not fun. I talk to hundreds of people each week many with extremely serious health challenges. There are many of them that just do not get it. They want to continue eating junk food, drinking sodas, sitting around being a couch potato, stressed out and wondering why they do not feel better.

Then there are the great days when I talk to that one person that says I will do whatever it takes to regain my health. They change their diet, start juicing, add supplements, drink purified water, detox their system, start exercising, de-stress their life, build a support team around them, they give it to God and commit to give their body what it needs to repair and renew.

Yesterday I heard from one of those individuals. Manuel and his wife Connie called me just before Thanksgiving 2007. Manuel was battling cancer for the fourth time and had other health challenges as well. He gave it to God and changed everything. Connie saw such improvement in Manual she joined him changing her diet as well and their lives have totally changed.
Yesterday they sent me a quick email to update me and let me know how their roadtrip was going. "Manuel has been feeling great and we are having a great time in Arizona. They left San Antonio Jan 9th and will be heading back around Feb 15th." They also sent a link to their blog. If any of you are interested check it out http://esparzacm.blogspot.com/

I am collector of photos of sunrises and sunsets... even better still are those moments when I am there enjoying them myself. To me a sunrise is that quiet moment when God whispers Good Morning, we are going to have a tremendous day. Or at the end of the day as the sun sets when God lets me know we have had another spectacular day and we should just be thankful.

I am looking at one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen that comes from Manuel & Connie's blog and I just had to share it with you.

Blessings,

Can Adult Stem Cells Be The Answer to Optimal Health?

2009-02-01T12:00:00.015-06:00

I have been researching adult stem cell therapies, clinical trials, journals and scientific literature for the past 16 months. With the abundance of scientific studies and supporting documentation on its many confirmed successes, I find it difficult to still have to debate the use of embryonic stem cells as a viable option. With the amount of evidence piling up supporting adult stem cell therapy maybe soon we will be able to put the debate to rest.

Regenerative medicine using stem cells was listed as one of the Top Research Trends for 2009. Adult stem cells are the answer to our question of how to promote health.

Once the world begins to understand that we have scientific studies documenting the ability to increase the release by 3 to 4 million of our own adult stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, go to http://tinyurl.com/ajs6gl , using a natural supplement then we will truly begin to realize our future for optimal health starts today.

Story of Christian Drapeau MSc. and StemEnhance

2008-12-28T20:14:00.000-06:00

This is the story of how Christian Drapeau MSc. Chief Science Officer & Co-Founder of StemTech Health Sciences helped develop StemEnhance

A little over two decades ago, a new herbal supplement named Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), an aquatic botanical, made its appearance on the marketplace. Rapidly, AFA became popular for the wide variety of health benefits reported by consumers. Over the years we identified the presence in AFA of various bioactive compounds such as phycocyanin, a strong natural anti-inflammatory compound, a polysaccharide supporting immune function, and phenylethylamine (PEA), a molecule knows as "the molecule of love," which increases mental clarity and provides a sense of well-being. Nevertheless, in spite of the identification of these various components, many health benefits reported by consumers remained unexplained.

At the turn of the 21st century, data began appearing in the scientific literature describing the potential of embryonic stem cells (ESC). Embryonic stem cells were shown to have the ability to become any kind of cells in the body. Soon after, studies revealed that adult stem cells (ASC) also had the ability of becoming virtually any kind of cells in the body. When this discovery was made, we hypothesized that adult stem cells constituted the natural renewal system of the body, and we published this hypothesis in the journal, Medical Hypotheses (October 2002). Our idea at the time was this: if adult stem cells indeed constituted the natural renewal system of the body, with adult stem cells being able to become any cell type of the body, then supporting this process could lead to a wide variety of health benefits. Given the broad spectrum of benefits reported by AFA consumers, we simply hypothesized that AFA was supporting aspects of stem cell physiology.

With this in mind, we initiated a series of laboratory experiments and soon discovered that consumption of large quantity of AFA (greater than 5 grams) increased the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%. As we pursued our investigation to identify the compound in AFA responsible for this effect, we actually identified two specific compounds supporting both the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and their migration out of the blood into tissues. We then proceeded to concentrate these compounds out of AFA, achieving 5:1 concentrates for both compounds, and blended these compounds to make StemEnhance. One gram of StemEnhance supports the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and increases the number of stem cells from the bone marrow and increases the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%. StemEnhance also concentrates phycocyanin and PEA, other important compounds found in AFA.

StemEnhance is a natural product made of 100% organic AFA and manufactured in accordance with GMP regulations. The powder is encapsulated and bottled in a pharmaceutical grade facility, providing the highest quality possible. Each lot of StemEnhance is tested for any potential contaminants, according to a stringent quality control program.

When asked why would one want to take StemEnhance, the answer is simply to support the body's natural process of maintaining optimal health. Supporting stem cell physiology everyday by increasing the number of circulating stem cells is one of the wisest decisions one can make to regain and maintain optimal health.

How I Got Started as a Health Coach

2008-12-27T20:05:00.000-06:00

My name is Jacki Smith. I am an Alternative Health Consultant. I have been recommending and using dietary supplements for over 20 years. I would like to share my story with you. My mother Beverly Smith, was my inspiration to get into the health and nutrition industry, and network marketing. She started "The Diet Shoppe" business in 1989 and I continue to operate the business as "Natural Health" today.

In 1992, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The surgeon performed a mastectomy, declared they got it all, and sent her home. She had a follow-up appointment one week later and nothing more than bloodwork scheduled for 6 months. During this time my mother was in a minor car accident that broke her left thumb and right wrist. Before going in to put pins in her wrist, the doctor ordered a routine chest x-ray and they found spots on her bones.

The oncologist verified the cancer had metastasized to the bones. It was in the vertebrae in her neck, middle of her back, left ribs and hip. The oncologist gave her a year to live. They scheduled her for chemotherapy and radiation treatments immedietly to possibly buy her a few more weeks or months. I received a call from my mother the next day giving me her prognosis. She wasn’t ready to die and asked me to help her learn how to live. I quit my job working in the auto parts industry that day. This was my starting point for learning about nutrition, alternative therapies and the whole body approach to healing.

During the next 45 days I read more than 30 books individuals had written that had healed themselves of cancer using alternative methods. I continue to call that time my "crash course" on nutrition and cancer. With each book we revised my mothers dietary regimen and supplemental intake using the information we had learned. Mom was not always at her best and she would often eat things that were on the bad lists we had created. I continued to read and learn, trying anything that had seemed promising from the research material. In the end, they had put so many toxins into her that they had compromised her immune system. She was given so much radiation that they had destroyed the bone mass in her neck. I was told it was a miracle that she was not a paraplegic.

Mom caught an infection from another patient who sat next to her during chemo and two days later she was checked into the hospital. She walked in but that would be the last time she stood. I fought the system from the nutritionist to the doctors, even getting approval for her to not only take her herbals, supplements and teas.…. but they were actually administering them to her while in the hospital.

When they released her from the hospital nine weeks later she was on mega doses of morphine each day. The doctor had told me my mother would suffocate to death. I told him my God wouldn't do that to me. After one week at home using a soy bean juice product she was pain-free and off all morphine. She had started regaining her quality of life, and the tumors had begun to shrink when two weeks later, on Sept. 14, 1996, she went to sleep and never woke up. In the end my mother lived three years longer than the doctors had given her.

Since then my aunt has fought breast cancer. She continues to stay in remission twelve years later. Also, my best friend Debbie had been diagnosed with liver and colon cancer and had only been given a 5% chance she might survive 2 years. She did a very aggressive regimen because of her medical history and poor prognosis. Six weeks later her body had healed itself and the doctors declared she was in complete remission. This was the starting point for me.

Now, twelve years later, I have worked with thousands of people with cancer as well as numerous other health conditions including my uncle who is currently fighting rectal cancer that had metastisized. He is currently using an all natural supplement that I am working with that aids our bodies in releasing natural killer (NK) cells. He has seen tremendous benefits with his health and we are looking forward to the day that he will get clear test results.

I believe that diet along with nutritional products are the foundation that helps all the other therapies work even better. I feel they are the best offense for keeping my body healthy and my immune system strong. I pray that God will continue to lead those with debilitating illnesses and cancer into my path. I used to pray that if I could just keep one person from having to walk down the path I had to with my mother I would feel blessed. Now I pray for more and more to be healed and feel blessed one hundred times over. I feel it is truly a blessing to know that you can help someone to change their lives in such a positive manner, they can even regain their health. I have shed so many tears these last few years, but they were tears of joy.

This is my prayer for each and every one of you… when you experience the benefits of good health, share the good news with others, get inspired as I am to go out and tell the world your story. Blessings.

Sincerely,
Jacki Smith

THE BENEFITS THAT STEM CELL RESEARCH BRINGS TO OUR EVERYDAY LIVES

2008-12-27T10:04:00.002-06:00

What is a stem cell?

The National Institute of Health defines a stem cell in this way: "Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish others cells as long as the person is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell".

The first creation of life

When the sperm fertilizes the egg the first creation is a stem cell. It then divides into more stem cells which continue to divide until they begin to differentiate (or change), becoming specific types of cells that will go on to form all of the different parts of the body. These are the embryonic stem cells that are the focus of the media's attention, but after birth, and throughout life, stem cells continue to be made in the body and as science has recently discovered, these adult stem cells are the body's primary system of renewal and restoration.

Adult stem cells

Adult stem cells are predominantly formed in the bone marrow. And, just as in the beginnings of life, adult stem cells can literally change into any type of cell in the body throughout life. These adult stem cells are released from the bone marrow into the circulation of the bloodstream to seek out problem areas, then renew and restore those areas.

Example: The Heart

When circulating stem cells find the heart in reduced health, they exit the bloodstream, attach to the heart and actually become brand new heart muscle cells, analogous to the original cell that created the infant's heart. They then begin dividing into still more new heart muscle cells. The same with the liver, the kidneys, the brain, the skin, eyes, any organ, tissue, muscle, bone, connective tissue, literally any part of the body that is in need of restoration.

As we age

Why do kids seem to recover so quickly, when adults take much longer? A child gets cut and it's healed in three days.We get a cut and it takes a couple of weeks to get better. Well, for reasons scientists have yet to discover, as we get older these stem cells get 'clogged up' in the bone marrow and don't release as readily as they did when we were kids. A child recovers so quickly primarily because their system of stem cell release into the bloodstream is functioning at optimal levels. The older we get, the fewer and fewer stem cells are released into the bloodstream and the more easily we succumb to health problems, injury and aging.

Additional notes

We need vitamins, antioxidants, good food, doctors and sometimes medication. But none of them rebuild the body. None of them can actually bring back new tissue, bone, organs, or any part of the body. Science has just recently discovered that the only system known that actually rebuilds the body is your adult stem cells. If they are not releasing into the blood stream as they should, you suffer degradation in health. Traditional health supplements nourish existing cells. They do not create new cells. Medicines alter or aid the body's response to health issues. But, they do not rebuild any part of the body.

How do stem cells affect my health?

The National Institute of Health identifies 74 treatable diseases using adult stem cells in therapy. These costly and complex therapies typically deliver a large quantity of adult stem cells to the area undergoing treatment. Most require that stem cells be harvested from the patient or an adult donor, programmed in a lab to become a specific type of cell, and then injected into the body. For treatment
of disease these therapies many times are the best method of recovery, producing truly remarkable results. But, most of us don't have health issues that require these extensive procedures.

For those of us just wanting to maintain optimal health or fight the effects of aging, injury, and day to day wear and tear, a smaller but steady release of our existing adult steam cells into the bloodstream can produce considerable health benefits.

What is StemEnhance?

StemEnhance is a blend of two compounds extracted from an aqua botanical (water plant) called aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA. These compounds are extracted through a process that uses no chemicals or harsh agents. One extract supports the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The other extract may support the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues.

What does StemEnhance do?

The effectiveness of StemEnhance was demonstrated in a triple-blind study. Volunteers rested for one hour before establishing baseline levels. After the first blood samples, volunteers were given StemEnhance or a placebo. Thereafter, blood samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after taking the consumables.

The number of circulating stem cells was measured by analyzing the blood samples using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). Consumption of
StemEnhance triggered a significant 25-30% increase in the number of circulating stem cells. In the average person this corresponds to approximately 3.5 million new circulating stem cells from just one dose!

Why do we need StemEnhance?

When StemEnhance is used as a daily supplement over time, the stimulation of billions of additional stem cells in the bloodstream could be one of the safest and most efficient methods for maintaining optimal that science has yet discovered.

Adult Stem Cells- The Best Anti-Aging System Ever Known

Knowing what adult stem cells do in the human body, doesn't it make sense that having more of them in the bloodstream will undoubtedly have profound effects on your health and well-being, and provide a hitherto untapped resource for fighting the effects of aging. StemEnhance is proven to increase the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%, and has a patent to back it up.
Now, that is powerful.

FINAL NOTE
One of the USA's leading experts in adult stem cell science is Dr. David A. Prentice, PH.D.,a professor at Indiana University of School of Medicine. The National Institute of Health funds much of his research. In 2003 he presented
a detailed paper to the President's Council on Biothetics, referring to many of the studies listed in this document.

In closing, he added: Adult stem cells "have significant capabilities for growth, repair, and regeneration of damaged cells and tissues in the body, akin to a build-in repair kit or maintenance crew that only needs activation and stimulation to accomplish repair of damage."

"Direct stimulation of endogenous (already present in the body) adult stem cells within a tissue may be the easiest, safest, and most efficient way to stimulate tissue regeneration. Such stimulation need not rely on any added stem cells".
He could not have known than that in 2006 stem cell technology would provide a product as simple as a daily supplement in capsule form that would directly stimulate stem cells in the manner he was describing. Patented, all natural StemEnhance is today's way to easily, safely and efficiently stimulate renewal of your body. Thousands now are enjoying this truly remarkable new revolution in health maintenance. Soon millions will be.
