STEM CELLS THE SILVER CONNECTION STEM SILVER CONNECTION THE The body can produce its own stem cells in the quantity it needs and direct them to wherever they're required, as long as a sufficient number of silver ions are present in the bloodstream. e continually pick up the newspaper or turn on the news and hear about the latest research on producing "stem cells". It may therefore come as quite a surprise to many to find that some of the leading medical researchers have proven that the highest-quality stem cells can be easily produced, both artificially and where and when needed. Not only that, but it has been proven that the human body and the animal body can predict exactly the number of stem cells needed to heal a wound. Under the right conditions, the body can produce exactly that number, use them all and have no extra left over! Amazing! Still more surprising is that you can easily do the same thing yourself at home. So what is the big push for stem cells all about? The real search is for a stem cell production process that can be patented and thereby controlled and sold for a huge amount of money by the drug companies. If these companies can patent the process of producing these stem cells and then store, ship and inject them according to complex procedures and make big money in the process, and if the knowledge of how to produce them can be kept out of the hands of the common people, they can hold the fear of life or death over the sick and injured and dole the cells out at their price. They are the wizards holding the wands of healing. Normally a cell can only reproduce as the kind of cell it is. A skin cell can only reproduce itself as another skin cell, but only of the skin layer that it is from. A heart cell can only reproduce a heart cell. A stem cell is a cell that has no tissue signature. It can become a skin cell, a heart cell, a lung cell, a bone cell, etc. It can become anything. To understand the subject better, you need to know the difference between stem cells, undifferentiated cells and dedifferentiated cells. Stem cells have not become any particular type of cells. They usually come from an embryo, a foetus or an umbilical cord. Undifferentiated cells come from bone marrow, primarily from the femur. Dedifferentiated cells are cells that have been differentiated as red blood cells, skin cells, muscle cells, etc., but have changed into undifferentiated cells. Now they can become any type of cells needed. The only difference with the three types is their history. They are all the same as stem cells and have the DNA of the donor. For the sake of simplicity, they will all be called "stem cells" herein, except where the difference is important to understanding the subject. Some parents have produced an embryo for the sole purpose of providing stem cells for a member of the family. Laboratories routinely produce embryos for making stem cells. The use of embryos and foetuses to source stem cells has become a hotly debated issue. The embryo may be killed in order to obtain the stem cells, which then can be used in other humans if the DNA is a close enough match. The DNA is a big problem in that it is foreign to the stem cells recipient. A stem cell is like a donated organ: the immune system tends to reject it, therefore the immune system must usually be suppressed in order to accept it. And like a donated organ, the stem cell reproduces with its still-foreign DNA and the recipient's immune system will probably have to be suppressed indefinitely. A strong immune system is certainly one of our most valuable assets. One of our highest goals healthwise is to build a strong immune system. Are we then to trade our immune system for the truly fantastic healing quality of stem cells and become permanently dependent on medication as a replacement for our immune system?
