The Benefits of Stem Cells
Stem cells are amazing revitalizing and regenerative gifts to the physical body. However, some stem cells are more sensitive to free radicals, heavy metals, inflammation, endotoxins, pollution, etc. The genetic disruption can injure and/or transform these marvelous healers to cancer cells. Toxins may be a factor in epithelial to mesenchymal transition, embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and perhaps very small embryonic-like stem cells, if the bone marrow or cord blood has detrimental factors. Until more is known about maintaining their stability, these stem cells can be used to help us know which chemicals, drugs, food additives and preservatives, etc. are helpful or harmful to us.
The first section on “Stem Cells and Toxins” provides research on products that injure the stem cells and contribute to tumors, other diseases and premature aging.
In addition, if a patient goes to a physician for a stem cell treatment, the results may not be as effective if the patient continues to have other toxic challenges.
There are a number of stem cell types. The bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, retinal progenitors, primitive embryonic-like stem cells and growth factors. Research suggests that the stem cells of bone marrow aspirate or umbilical cord blood may provide more benefit to a patient than one type of stem cell by itself.

7. To check out the Clinical Trials being offered in stem cell research, go to Clinical Trials
In the search area, you could type in your diagnosis and stem cell therapy (or other treatment you are interested in trying). While money for research has been tight lately, there are still quite a few studies being offered that are free to the patient.
More stem and progenitor cells will soon be added.
