WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM CELL THERAPY

Dr.Niehans stated the ultimate aim of cell therapy in this way :"What Ian striving after is not only to give more years to life but especially to give more life to years ."Niehan's aim was to "make all the organs struck by old age capable once more of functioning properly and , at the same time ,bring fresh strength to the whole body by revitalization of the sex glands ."
The problem that cell therapy is designed to solve include the following :

General loss of vitality,
Physical and mental exhaustion,
Convalescence after illness,
Premature aging,
Signs of deterioration of the brain ,heart ,kidneys ,lungs ,liver ,and digestive organs,
Weakness of the immune system ,
Arthritis and other degenerative diseases of the connective tissue,
Underfunction of the endocrine glands,
Disturbances of menopause,
Parkinsonism,
Chronic pain ,migraine ,headaches ,neuralgia ,back pain ,sciatica,
Artherosclerosis of the brain ,heart ,and peripheral circulation .

Cell therapy successfully revitalizes and extends youth .Cell therapists see their patients skin tone and complexion improve their vitality increase ,their youthful optimism and energy return and various other infirmities of aging much improve.

Dr.Niehaus used cell therapy for alot more than youth extension .He used live cell injections not only to regenerate diseased or aged organs but also to stimulate development of underdeveloped or retarded organs.In fact ,Niehans's successful treatment of dwarfism provided him with some of his earliest notoriety in the United States.
The basic therapeutic effect of cell therapy was described Dr.Niehans as "organotropic cellular regeneration in the impaired organs. "In other words ,the therapy stimulated the disease and aging-damaged organs to regenerate .This restoration usually takes anywhere from three to six months after the the injections .Any immediate effect ,explained Niehans, would have to be caused by hormones, not cellular regeneration.

Doctors who use cell therapy have reported that atherosclerosis patients also benefit .In a study performed on laboratory rats,cell therapy increased the residual pliability of aorta tissue to that when stretched,it returned to its original shape much faster.This is a characteristic of younger tissue.

Experiments on connective tissue have shown that cell therapy can increase the strength and pliability of this important structural element of the body .The youthful appearance of your skin is determined in large part by the health of your connective tissue.But that't not all.How youthfully your joints, muscles,and blood vessels function also depends on the condition of your connective tissue.Since the success of several cosmetic surgery operation depends upon the strenght and elasticity of the skin, a course of cell therapy before rejuvenating surgery is good idea for older patients whose skin has lost its elasticity.

Hydrated skin Is Younger-Looking Skin
Hydration is essential to hold back the signs of ageing and is the key to young-looking skin .Like the body ,the skin is make up of 70% water and 13% corneal layer .Below this theshold the skin weakens and is at greater risk of deteri oration .Exposed to sun ,wind and pollution ,the corneal layer dries out and wrinkles appear .It is therefore essential to maintain the water content of the skin by thorough hydration.

WHAT IS CELL THERAPY ?

The basic theory behind cell therapy was stated best by paracelsus ,a 16th-centery physician who wrote :"Heart heals the heart, lung heals lung , spleen heals spleen ; like cures like ."Paracelsus and many other early physicians believed that the best way to treat illness was to use living tissue to rebuild and revitalize ailing or aging tissue .Modern orthodox medicine lost sight of this method ,so it now uses chemicals to interrupt or override living processes. While chemicals and drugs work only until they are broken down by the body's metabolic processes ,cell therapy has a long-term effect, because it stimulates the body's own healing and revitalizing power.
Doctors who practice cell therapy believe the cell therapy acts like an organ transplant and actually makes the old cells to "act younger." This biological" lesson" is not quickly forgotten by the cells.
In Europe ,the effectiveness of cell therapy is widely accepted .In West Germany, for example, more than 5,000 German physicians regularly administer cell therapy injections. A great proportion of those injections are funded by the West German social security system .Several million patients the world over have received cell therapy injections since the mid-1950's.
Swiss physician Paul Niehans discovered the beneficial effects of live cell therapy quite by accident .In 1931, Niehans was summoned by a colleague who had accidentally removed a patient's parathyroid glands during the course of thyroid surgery. So vita are these glands to life that there was little chance that the woman could survive the day without them .A successful transplant was the only chance the surgeon had of saving her. So Niehans, who had a reputation for therapeutically transplanting organs and glands was called in .
On his way to the hospital ,Niehans stopped off at the abattoir ,where the animals he used in his revitalization experiments were slaughtered fresh parathyroid glands from a steer and proceeded to the hospital ,fully intending to perform a parathyroid transplant.
However ,when Niehans arrived ,one look at the patient-who was violently convulsing-told him that there was simply not enough time to perform the operation .The woman would not survive long enough.
But Niehans had an idea. He used a surgical knife to slice the steer's parathyroid glands into finer and pieces ,taking care not to mash the individual cells .He then mixed the pieces in a saline solution and loaded it into a large hypodermic needle .To the shock and dismay of his colleagues ,Niehans injected the mixture into the fatally ill woman.
Immediately ,her convulsions ceased .Her condition improved-and continued improving .To everyone's surprise ,including Niehan's she recovered .Niehans wrote ,many years later ,"I thought the effect would be short-lived ,just like the effect of an injection of hormones ,and that I should have to repeat the injection .But to my great surprise ,the injection of fresh cells not only failed to provoke a reaction but the effect lasted ,and longer than any synthetic hormone ,any implant or any surgical graft."
Longer indeed .The women went on to live another 30 years ,well into her 90s.
Thus was born cell therapy .At his Clinique La Prairie in Montreaux ,Switzerland ,Dr. Niehans went on to administer live cell injections to thousands of patients ,including many of the crowned heads , presidents ,Pope Pius XII ,and several Hollywood stars.

ANEMIA

Symptoms : Anemia ,also called iron-deficiency anemia ,occurs when there is not enough iron in the body .Without the proper amount of this mineral ,the body cannot produce adequate amounts of hemoglobin .Why does this matter? Hemoglobin is responsible for carrying tissue-nourishing oxygen from the lungs to every part of the body. Without oxygen, the body cannot function properly. A low-iron diet, heavy monthly menstrual flow,pregnancy , lead poisoning , recent blood loss, or poor iron absorption by the body can all lead to anemia. Initial signs are so mild they often go unnoticed : Greater-than-usual fatigue or slight pallor are common symptoms. Later on, the heart rate may grow faster and the sufferer may become winded more easily than usual.

How Vitamin E Can Help : Two of vitamin E's functions are to help form new red blood cells and maintain the heath of existing red blood cells, allowing them to live "a long life." While vitamin E alone cannot cure anemia, its essential role in maintaining a healthy blood supply makes it a helpful companion therapy.

Dosages : Take 10 to 200 mg of vitamin E three times daily with meals. In addition, consume daily servings of foods rich in vitamin E, such as avocados, brown rice ,dark green leafy vegetables ,nuts, oatmeal ,seeds ,soybeans ,and wheat germ.

BLOOD BOOSTER
Want to know just how important vitamin E is to a healthy blood supply ? In one study ,male adults were fed a diet containing no more than 5 IU of vitamin E daily for several years .Routine tests found that the rest subjects' hemoglobin levels were in what researchers call "a normal ,slightly low range ."Furthermore ,data showed that the red blood cells of these subjects were being destroyed about 8 to 10 percent faster than the red blood cells of the control group subjects ,who were getting higher levels of vitamin E from their diets.
