Adult Stem Cell Therapy For Heart Disease / Educational Video. Public service advertisement courtesy of Vescell. If you suffer from coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, or congestive heart failure and your doctor told you that there's nothing else that can be done, he may not know about VesCell™ adult stem cell therapy for heart disease. VesCell™ is a revolutionary new treatment for heart disease that actually rebuilds heart tissue using the patient's own stem cells. Stem cells are the body's "master cells" whose normal function is to repair and replace damaged tissue. VesCell™ harnesses and enhances stem cells' unique abilities, enabling the patient's own body to heal itself. In a patented process, our cardiologists and vascular surgeons take a sample of the patient's own blood, separate the stem cells, multiply them in vitro, and then inject them where they are most needed. In clinical trials worldwide, hundreds of patients have been successfully treated, with more than 75% showing substantial improvement. If you are suffering from the debilitating effects of heart disease with little hope of getting better, there is no other treatment in the world that can give you a better chance to get back to a normal life than VesCell™. Stem cells are special cells that can turn into many different cell types in the body such as heart muscle cells, brain cells, and skin cells. Stem cells for therapeutic use can be obtained from three potential sources: 1) Embryonic; 2) Certain Adult Tissues; 3) Umbilical Cord Blood. There are two kinds of stem cells. Adult Stem Cells - a supply of stem cells that can multiply when needed to repair adult organs and tissue. Adult stem cells are found in the human body and in umbilical cord blood. The most well known source of adult stem cells in the body is bone marrow but they are also found in many organs and tissues; even in the blood. Embryonic Stem Cells - cells found early (less than 2 wks.) in the development of an embryo that can progenerate a developing fetus and ultimately a human baby. All stem cells have the ability to divide into more cells that can either remain a stem cell or begin changing into another kind of cell such as a red blood cell or a nerve cell. The change from stem cell to another kind of cell happens in many steps. After each step, the stem cell's "assignment" becomes more specialized. Normally, stem cells become more specialized. In humans and other mammals, these developmental events are irreversible, and in this sense, cell development resembles a family tree. However, "reassignment" has been observed in embryonic cells. For example, an embryonic stem cell that has already been assigned to become a brain cell somehow becomes a blood cell instead. There is some evidence suggesting that adult stem cells also have this ability. An adult stem cell that has been assigned to become a vascular system cell may, in fact, reassign to become a kind of nerve cell under the right conditions. This has not yet been proven conclusively. Adult stem cells are more specialized since they are assigned to a specific cell family such as blood cells, nerve cells, etc. Adult Stem Cells have the following advantages: Have been safely used in humans for over 30 years; No danger of immune system rejection with cells from the patient's own body; Extremely low risk of tumor growth; Easier to control than embryonic cells.

  • I always though this kind of stuff was interesting, im going to read more about it now for sure thanks for uploading.

  • wesleyfilms, you are welcome!

  • wow i think this is very interesting.

  • Gaiden47, thank you!

  • Cool video.

    Isn't it true that stem cells might cause cancer though?

  • f3te, to the best of my knowledge -- embryonic stem cells have that potential.

  • the music just doesn't go with this video and completely distract from the subject

  • the song is titled "those sweet words" by Norah Jones

  • It doesn't work !!!

  • Anyone knows the song title? Please help me!

  • all the information i needed.

    THANKS

  • Cool :D

  • I've been a nurse for 25 years, and lost my mother to CHF, so I have PROFOUND interest in this. 3 years ago I came across the research of  Christian Drapeau and my life CHANGED! The Adult Stem Cell System within each of us is our RENEWAL SYSTEM and is pioneering changes in healthcare. fascinating nformation... contact me via email...

  • One of the problems with this technique is a chance for the undifferentiated cell to suffer from abnormal growth, becoming cancerous in the process.  You need to be careful simply implanting rogue cells into tissue withut a bioscaffold in place to control the growth.

  • Adult Cells Yes! vescell dot com
