Stem cells are special cells in the body that are capable of developing into different cell types such as brain cells, muscle cells, among many others. In addition to that, they also have the ability to repair damaged tissues.    If you search online for  stem cell supplements ,  you’re bound to find a long list. Figuring out what to make of all of these supplements can be pretty daunting, as each claims to be the best. You need to be careful with supplements and health claims and especially stem cell supplements. Why? Generally, the process of creating a new supplement is pretty simple. You go online, find some studies that seem to fit what you’re looking for, create a master file, choose your ingredients, and you’re off. Meaning, no original lab or clinical research is performed. For example, to create a stem cell supplement, you could focus on the different ways that stem cells get impacted by supplement ingredients, like proliferat

Natural killer (NK) cells, a specific type of white blood cell, are an important component of your innate immune system. Your immune system consists of two different branches — cell-mediated immunity (innate) and humoral immunity (adaptive). When you contract a viral disease, the pathogen enters your body and infects your cells. NK cell for cancer immunotherapy The subsequent disease process involves your cell-mediated immune response, which activates your NK cells, along with chemicals that attract them to the site of infection, where the white blood cells basically chew up and spit out the infected cells. This process clears the virus and rejuvenates the gel-like water inside your cells. During recovery, your humoral immune system kicks in and starts generating antibodies against the virus to help prevent the same kind of disease process and symptoms from occurring again, should you be exposed to the same virus later on. As long as your cell-mediated immune system is activated firs

By  Chris Centeno, MD -  I’ve been getting lots of emails lately about the Tony Robbins book “LifeForce”. It’s always interesting as a physician to get bombarded by patients with what sounds like misinformation, but since you haven’t looked at what’s being said, you’re not sure how to respond. In fact, patients come in with new stuff every day, so medical practice these days is a constant task of looking it all up on the Internet. Hence, I’d like to take a deeper dive into a recent interview with Tony Robbins and his book to see for myself what he’s saying about stem cells . Let’s dig in. What is Life Force? I downloaded Tony’s new book “Life Force” onto my Kindle . It’s 600+ Kindle pages and I’m a busy doctor, so I used it as a cross-reference for an interview a colleague sent me. In Tony’s own words, in the book, he interviewed approximately 150 experts in regenerative medicine and new medical trends. This runs the gamut from stem cell thera
