7 truths you must know about stem cells!
2020-06-09
1. Oral stem cell products? !
the truth
Stem cell therapy or anti-aging, all have a premise: the cells that enter the body must be alive. Eating stem cells, just like eating any kind of ordinary food, will only be digested and will not serve health care.
because:
1. The cells must be stored at low temperature. If stored at room temperature, the cells will die quickly.
2. Stem cells do not have the function of resisting stomach acid, and they can only be digested by stomach acid when entering the stomach, and cannot play a role.
When you choose to take something by mouth, it becomes an ordinary food. The stomach treats the food of the lower abdomen equally. Even ordinary proteins and sugars will be differentiated into small amino acid or monosaccharide molecules by the stomach, and then slowly digested, not to mention a bottle of living cells. Moreover, a group of inactivated dead cells are at most some extracts, but they are not targeted drugs. How can I refer to them? The money spent in vain has paid IQ tax.
2. Universal stem cells can cure all diseases? !
● The truth
A cell is an under-differentiated and immature cell with self-replicating ability and multi-directional differentiation potential. Under certain induction conditions, stem cells can differentiate into cells of various tissue types in the human body, so the medical community calls them "universal cells."
Stem cells are significantly better than traditional medical methods in the treatment of autoimmune system diseases, nervous system diseases, degenerative diseases and other diseases. However, it cannot be concluded that stem cells can "cure all diseases". For example, stem cells are the main treatment in the treatment of certain diseases; but in some treatments, such as the treatment of viral diseases, the use of stem cells only plays an auxiliary role.
3. Plant stem cells, an artifact of "immortality"? !
the truth
Plant stem cells differentiate into plant organs. If plant stem cells really enter your body, even if the body does not produce rejection reactions, it can only differentiate into plant cells such as branches and leaves. It is completely nonsense to say what stimulates human stem cells. Unless you think "Hulk" is pretty good?
4. Who can use stem cells? !
● The truth
There are some contraindications to the use of stem cells:
Those with high allergies or a history of severe allergies;
Those with abnormal vital signs of shock or systemic failure;
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
Severe mental disorders;
Advanced malignant tumor;
Systemic infection or severe local infection requires anti-infection rehabilitation;
Dysfunction of important organs such as heart, lung, liver and kidney;
Coagulation dysfunction such as hemophilia.
Therefore, not everyone can use stem cells. Physical examination is very important.
5. Is embryonic stem cells (totipotent stem cells) the best? !
● The truth
Embryonic stem cells are a type of stem cells that existed in the early stages of embryonic development. As embryonic stem cells gradually develop into various organs of the human body, there are no embryonic stem cells in the human body, only adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into all types of human cells, so to some extent, the function of embryonic stem cells is indeed very powerful.
But embryonic stem cells are a kind of highly undifferentiated cells. The spontaneous differentiation process in the body is uncontrollable, and it is easy to cause tumors. Therefore, embryonic stem cells cannot be directly imported into the human body.
Adult stem cells are more commonly used clinically, such as umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, etc. Tens of thousands of clinical applications at home and abroad have fully proved the safety and effectiveness of use, and have been widely used Disease improvement, beauty and body, anti-aging and other fields.
6. Can stem cells cure diabetes? !
● The truth
Stem cell research in diabetes has indeed made breakthroughs, and a large number of patients have already benefited.
7. Only newborns can store cells? !
● The truth
Both babies and adults can store cells, only the type of storage is different.
Mother and baby: Cord blood and placenta can be stored at the moment of birth, and a baby has only one chance in life. Many types of stem cells can be extracted from umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord and placental tissue, such as umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells, placental amniotic stem cells, placental decidual stem cells, and placental mononuclear cells.
Adults: Adults can store immune cells, fat stem cells, skin fibroblasts, dental pulp stem cells, etc. It is recommended to store it between 18-65 years old. The sooner you store it, the better, because today's cells are always younger than tomorrow.
PS: Physical examination is very important, and can only be stored after passing a comprehensive health assessment.
