Promising products for Stem Cell Health - Colostem & Cellworx

Product A: COLOSTEM
Colostem® Capsules (60)

New Image International have developed their first generation stem cell product by combining three (3) key ingredients that support a healthy stem cell population! (Colostrum 400mg, a Brown seaweed containing the extract; Fucoidan 40mg and Resveratrol 25mg)

Adult stem cells are un-differentiated cells found throughout the body that divide and multiply to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue. Because they are ‘unspecialised’ they can develop into many of the different cell types the body needs for repair and regenerations, such as heart, muscle, connective tissue or even brain cells. They are in fact the most powerful anti-ageing mechanism know to science today. The most common stem cell is referred to as CD34; and is created in the bone marrow and released into the circulation naturally when required for tissue repair.

Adult stem cell therapy is the fastest growing area of regenerative medicine with many people around the world receiving therapeutic treatment of stem cell injections to overcome degenerative diseases. SUBSTANTIAL RESEARCH now shows that increased stem cell activity is not only safe but ESSENTIAL. Colostem® was developed to help support and activate the body’s natural stem cell population.

Colostrum: besides the information in the Alpha Lipid Lifeline product listing; is rich in cells such as cytokines, interleukins, interferons, growth factors and peptides such as Proline rich Polypeptides (PRP). Some of the growth factors include natural human growth hormone (HGH), insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor, platelet derived growth factor, and granulocyte colony stimulating factor, which has been used as a drug to stimulate stem cell proliferation and activation.*

Fucoidan

Fucoidan is a multi-functional nutrient from the sea, extracted from Angel’s Hair brown seaweed. It has been consumed as a health food in Asia and the Pacific for over 2000 years and is the subject of over 700 published scientific research studies.

The benefits of Fucoidan are that it defends against degenerative diseases; it is an anti-oxidant protecting against premature ageing. It has an anti-coagulant effect, it inhibits abnormal cell growth, normalises blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. It improves stomach upsets and supports immune function.*

Fucoidan and Stem Cells

Fucoidan induces rapid mobilisation of stem cells in the body. Cells have sticky patches called ligands that help cell to cell recognition. Leukocytes have a ligand called L-selectin which acts as a ‘homing receptor’ for leukocytes directing them to where they are needed. Fucoidan sticks to L-selectin resulting in a significant increase in stem cells (CD34) with the homing receptor.*

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a naturally sourced product from red grape skins and Japanese knotweed. It is produced naturally by several plants as a defence against attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. It is the ‘longevity’ ingredient thought to be the main factor in the ‘French Paradox’. (a well known study into the health of the French nation)

In mouse and rat experiments, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering and beneficial cardiovascular effects have been reported. The studies show that Resveratrol treatment extended the life of many species of animals and physical endurance of mice was also substantially increased.*

The benefits of Resveratrol

Resveratrol mimics effects of calorie restriction. Calorie restriction is the only intervention proved to prolong maximum life span and produce anti-ageing effects in a variety of organisms. French researchers suggested that Resveratrol might help control weight gain by enhancing energy expenditure, and help prevent degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s which are age related. Resveratrol supports blood vessel health, decreases oxidation of LDL, platelet aggregation and relaxes arterioles.

Resveratrol and Stem Cells

There is some scientific evidence showing an interaction of Resveratrol with stem cells. Resveratrol has been demonstrated to protect the cells in cartilage called chondrocytes which are derived from bone marrow stem cells. It also promotes the differentiation of bone cells called osteoblasts, and was shown to enrich stem cells in-vitro.*

Product B: Cellworx
CELLWORX® AND YOUR IMMUNE FUNCTION - help for HIV/AIDs?

The Info-Peptides in Cellworx are the active compounds responsible for communicating with your immune cells and modulating the immune response. As we age our immune cells don’t function as well and the natural levels of the info-peptides are much lower in our system which often leads to illness and susceptibility to disease. For our immune system to function properly we need to boost the level of these compounds.

The power of the info-peptides to reboot your immune system is demonstrated in people who have Acquired Immune Deficiency (AIDS or HIV). This virus turns off the immune system by getting inside the T and B cells, otherwise known as CD4 cells.

CD4 cells are always circulating in our blood. When the level of these cells get below 400 counts per mL of blood then it is clinically described as Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome (AIDs). Retro-viral drugs are usually prescribed to help slow the growth of the virus.

In clinical trials at the University of Nairobi in Kenya; info-peptides were clearly demonstrated to increase natural levels of CD4 cells over a 6 week period. In a group of more than 90 patients the levels increased from a median of 275 to greater than 500 counts per mL, which is back in the normal range. These people technically no longer had clinical HIV. *

The Sialyl-oligosaccharides are important compounds within the body. They are very complex acidic sugars which have a number of functions. They are involved in the transfer of information across the nerve endings, ensuring that the flow of information to critical organs/cells within our body is ongoing and uninterrupted.

The Sialyl-oligosaccharides are absorbed along with the info-peptides under the tongue directly into the blood stream where they are distributed throughout the body making them available for critical nutrient/information transfer. The Sialyl-oligosaccharides also play a role in the immune system - acting like antibodies, binding with deadly viruses and bacteria so they cannot attach to the mucosal surfaces in the body. This important function removes these micro-organisms from the blood where they circulate with the potential to cause damage and illness. A particular example is shown where a Sialyl-oligosaccharides binds to a flu virus.*

Another important function of Cellworx is the delivery of Neuro-peptides. These compounds interact with nerve tissue, particularly in the brain. As we age our brain degenerates. Brain degeneration occurs by a number of mechanisms: (a) formation of beta-amyloid plaques and (b)attack by free radicals. The neuro-peptides have been shown to inhibit the formation of the beta-amyloid plaques and reduce the impact on brain tissue by the free radicals.*

What this means is that the neuro-peptides in Cellworx play an important role in supporting cognitive function in the elderly, the group most at risk of degenerative brain disorders.

Stem Cells

I had better introduce myself right here and now, so you know where I'm coming from. I'm a New Image Wellness Consultant and I have been having regular training over the last year about Stem Cells. People from the Adult Stem Cell Foundation have come to inform us all about the Stem Cell implantation processes and newsworthy items about Stem Cell use in the medical society world wide. I am proud to be associated with both the Adult Stem Cell Foundation for the information they freely pass on and with New Image International for their innovative information and products.  (The chairman of New Image Graeme Clegg; at about 70 years young (looks like a mid 40 year old) and thrashes people around 40 years of age at tennis!, he's been an avid believer in Colostrum for over 25 years, so he can testify to its anti-ageing effects!!)

Stem cells are the things that made us grow in the first instance in the womb. One single cell multiplied many times. That same cell was enabled to become heart, lung, liver, hair, brain tissues - whatever was needed.   And then the wonderment of the newborn baby!

After birth however, each stem cell type receives a different signal. Its job now is not to 'make new material' but to 'repair' cells of certain types.

Much has been in the news lately about stem cells and moreover, the furore over the possible use of embryonic cells (those before birth). Science is getting closer to being able to 'regress' adult stem cells (adult AFTER birth cells back to those in a baby BEFORE birth) so they can again have the possibility of becoming ANY particular cell.   Possibly, it will take another 5 years to determine if the process (which has already taken place in Melbourne 2008) causes problems using those cells! A lot of people could die before then eh?

Presently, all we can hope for is to transplant our own adult stem cells to help overcome diseases - much like a transfusion.  As we age, less and less stem cells are in our blood.   It appears that they stay within the bone and don't get to circulate very much. The only other non-medical option is to encourage them back into the bloodstream.  Several products from New Image International (a NZ company) help specifically with maintaining your stem cells.  Their flagship product is called Alpha Lipid Lifeline (a powdered Colostrum product) and is recommended by the Adult Stem Cell Foundation and Diabetes Australia as "having the science behind the product" and therefore being reliable.  New Image's newest products Colostem and Cellworx are worthy of a mention here as well.

Colostem is a specific product that is used in conjunction with the Alpha Lipid Lifeline for those who have specific degenerative problems - it supports healthy adult stem cell release, it has uniquely processed cellular regenerating ingredients and contains only natural ingredients to assist a healthy and active stem cell population.

Cellworx is a product that is used just before going to bed. It is sprayed under the tongue and held there for as long as possible (usually 2 minutes) so that transfer of nutrients can be obtained straight into the blood. These products (Colostem and Cellworx) helps IMMENSELY with HIV/AIDS related auto-immune type diseases.  People on the trial were able to regain normal auto-immune levels again!!  Once the body STOPS ATTACKING ITSELF healing can once more begin.  It promotes cellular connectivity, contains unique info-peptides and modulates immune responses (gives a helping hand to re-teach your system to stop attacking the goodies and to look out for the baddies once again) 

For you who may be wondering how they can get their hands on some of these products please ask away in an email to sharronw52@gmail.com so I can get back to you with appropriate details, overseas orders will need to contact me for correct postage and ex tax pricing)

These products will never be available at the shops - only through Distributors of New Image products.

I am hoping this information has been helpful for you.

Alpha Lipid Lifeline, Colostrum (Proline-rich Polypeptides in New Image Colostrum)

You know I never thought much about immunity as an adult - yeah, we all know that immunity is passed on to us from our mother's milk - so what, now I'm immune, right? What about if we were a bottle fed baby then? And, how come we get sick now if we supposedly already have it? Look at all those childhood diseases we 'had to have' (I've got more chicken pox scars on me than I care to number, what about you?) - I even caught mumps when I was a 23 year old (talk about the PLAGUE - nobody wanted to come NEAR me!!)

So I guess what I'm trying to say is... maybe that immunity just lasted us for a period of time before we could start to build our own up (strangely, by 'catching something').

Do you know that most 'stuff we catch' is through either our nose or our mouth? Makes sense doesn't it... through the gut and into our system - makes you uneasy about not washing your hands now doesn't it?

Well, if you take a Colostrum drink called Alpha Lipid Lifeline daily with lots of Proline-rich Polypeptides, immunoglobulins and pro-biotics too; you don't have to worry so much - it WILL carry off bad stuff and send it out of your system before it has a chance to take hold - so, you don't have to worry too much if that 'other' person washed their hands before preparing/handling your food or even after travelling on public transport!  It can give you SUCH peace of mind.

Alpha Lipid Lifeline is a normal, natural food - made out of bovine colostrum because it has 10 to 20% more immunoglobulins in it than human mother's milk (it has been cool-pasteurised to keep the goodies in) and it will go a long way to helping or even curing the following (as we have been told by our customers):

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, it increases bone density, encourages lean muscle growth, increases energy, it has growth factors which encourage the growth and development (and maturation) of new cells - helps with nerve endings, enhances healing and recovery of tissues (particularly after surgery), liver disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes II, Lupus, Congestive Heart Failure, Depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Endometriosis, Diverticulitis, Hay Fever, High Blood Pressure and circulatory problems, Attention Deficit Disorder, Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease (can improve quite dramatically), Addison's Disease, Viral and Yeast Infections.

The colostrum in Alpha Lipid Lifeline is from New Zealand cows who feed on pastures certified free from pesticides, the cows are also certified BSE free. It is pasteurised at a low temperature (so as not to destroy the goodies) and then dried.   This tested formula is rich in Proline polypeptides - which means that assimilation is MUCH better than other colostrum on the market, this process allows the uptake of the nutrients to be absorbed by the body through the gut instead of passing through.  A scoop and a half per day is the regular dosage (2 scoops advised if chronic symptoms are to be overcome) and a 450g tin lasts one person one (1) month at the scoop and a half this rate. At $82.90 that's just ~$2.76 per day (and the best thing is that since it has 1000mg of Calcium, 345mg Colostrum, and 1 billion cfu of Probiotics (including the lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus bacteria), and a wide range of vitamins - it is no mistake that you don't need anything else to keep you in the best of health! Come to think of it - what price do you put on your health anyway?
