Local Girl Waiting for Transplant!

[Michael Alexander]

Here is an important article that appeared in today's Cape Times. Local mum and daughter,Edita and Jenna are currently in Cape Town awaiting a liver transplant. Please read the article and think about the scenario and ask yourself what you can do....

Hi Mike, I believe there is a way with Stem Cells. I would introduce her to StemEnhance.

Mike, here is a bitof information I have on Stem Cells and the Liver etc.

Thus, it is possible that stem cells could be used to treat Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury. Stem cells also have been shown to differentiate into fibroblast or fibroblast-like cells, and to express collagen. Thus, it is possible that stem cells can be used to treat osteogenesis imperfecta and bone fractures. Peterson et al. (Science 284:1168-70, 1999) also have shown that liver cells can arise from stem cells. Thus, stem cells may be of use in treating a variety of pathologies of the liver, including, but not limited to cirrhosis. In addition, bone marrow derived stem cells have been demonstrated to migrate to the site of a myocardial infarction and form myocardium. Thus, stem cells may be use in treating myocardial infarction.

Pepe, sent you an email with contact numbers, please give me a shout thanks Kaye Durant.

Thanks Kaye, I got hold of her and will visit our web site and print the information to share with the Dr this afternoon. I feel Bertie could also have a say in this matter. I firmly believe that StemEnhance will help her daughter get well again and won't need a transplant.

There was an interview with them on SABC 2 & 3's 8 o,clock news last week marking the beginning of "organ donor month"

Hi Andrew, I saw the topic on the news as well. I still firmly believe that when the world knows about Stem Cell's, there will not be a need for any transplant. Here is some information about Stem Cells.

Adult Stem Cells are predominantly formed in the bone marrow. And, just as the beginnings of life, adult stem  cells can literally change into any type of cell in the body throughout life. These adult stem cells are released from the bone marrow into the circulation of the bloodstream to seek out problem areas, then renew and restore these areas. Example: The Heart. When circulatiing cells find the heart in reduced health, they exit the bloodstream, attach to the heart and actually become brand new heart muscle cells, analogous to the original cells that created the infants heart. They then begin dividing into still more heart muscle cells. The same with the liver, kidneys, brain, the skin, eyes, any organ, tissue, muscle, bone, connective tissue, literally any part of the body that is in need of restoration.
