Your Heart and Stem Cells

Despite the new viral diseases that we have today, it is heart disease that is still the number one killer of humans globally. This is due to the fact that the heart has minimal ability to regenerate its own muscle tissue. If a person suffers from Myocardial infarction or heart attack, the heart starts to experience decline and this leads to muscle loss, and reduced ability of the heart to pump blood.

Stem cell therapy researchers were bold enough to believe that stem cells would one day help resolve heart diseases. Stem cell biology took a careful look at the human heart and its conditions during the early 1990s and 2000s and it led them to hypothesize that the heart muscles or cardiomyocytes have the ability to regenerate by way of transplanting stem cells.

Stem Cell researchers and scientists have already been testing stem cell therapy for the heart as a cure. For over 18 years now, there are numerous clinical trials using stem cell therapy for the purpose of heart repair mostly using adult cells. Over time, doctors also recognized the benefits of using pluripotent stem cells as a bonafide heart muscle regeneration used for animal studies.

Understanding Heart Diseases
Congestive heart failure or heart failure is a condition that happens when the heart’s blood pumping action is weaker than normal. Blood circulates slowly, and there is increased pressure in the heart, as a result, the body is weakened, and is not able to process nutrients efficiently. If not given proper treatment, it can lead to the destruction of other organs of the body as it weakens the kidneys. Fluid would then build up in the lungs, legs, ankles, and feet leading to heart attack, valve disease, high blood pressure, and cardiomyopathies.

How are Heart diseases being treated nowadays?
Current medical solutions rely on lifestyle changes and pills and lifetime medications. Doctors will suggest that a patient with heart problems eat food with less salt and sugar, alcohol consumption is also prohibited and ample exercise is needed to help the heart survive.

There are also some procedures that doctors have to do like angioplasty wherein doctors will perform a procedure to stop the blood clot and widen clogged arteries.

Doctors have to insert a small mesh wire tube called a stent, that will open the artery and reduce the chances of getting blockage again. Medications like blood thinners are also used to help control blood pressure. Low-dose aspirin is usually taken, including beta-blockers to help prevent a heart attack and high blood pressure. If medications no longer work, surgery or bypass is needed to be done, but most of the time this is no longer advisable for people aged 60 years old and above.

Some of these treatments do not really offer long term solutions. They just prolong the life of a person for some time, but it has yet to provide a cure that could regenerate the heart and make it strong again- this is where Stem Cell therapy solutions come in.

How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help the Heart Recover?
Researchers are keen on using stem cells to improve the treatment of heart diseases. One of the first methods being used by scientists right now is to turn stem cells into a heart muscle using a dish inside laboratories. This method is used for patients who have genetic disorders with their hearts. The purpose is for stem cells to assist in the discovery of new and revolutionary drugs that would help the heart recover so it doesn’t need to go under surgery.

Stem cells are also used to replace the damaged heart tissue using cellular Therapy. The hope is that one day researchers would be able to repair or replace heart tissues that have been damaged because of heart failure and heart attacks.

Medical researchers are constantly researching futuristic ways to heal the heart. This could be done by transplanting new cells, using tissue engineering to improve the survival of transplanted cells, stimulation of existing cells and generation of new cardiomyocytes.

The goal is for stem cell therapy experts to one day grow replacement tissue for transplantation into patients, and for these lab-grown cardiomyocytes to integrate themselves and work well with surrounding cells in a newly transplanted human heart.

To repair the heart, researchers are transplanting stem cells and progenitor cells into patients. These cells are either adult stem cells found in the bone marrow or pluripotent cells. What tests confirm is that transplanting cells into the damaged heart is already a possibility, and generally safe for humans. There are just varied results, and the recovery will depend on the lifestyle and genetics of the person involved.

What is useful is the transplantation of pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac cells. They have tested it with monkeys and they have shown significant improvement during clinical trials. It was also tried with humans under a series of clinical trials and it was able to regenerate the surface of failing hearts.

Anti-Aging Effects of Stem Cell Therapy
Apart from the ability to regenerate the heart under clinical trials. Stem Cells also have anti-aging capabilities. It has numerous benefits that could help prolong a person’s life.

Stem cells have the ability to reduce fatigue and tiredness, it reduces age spots, face lines, and wrinkles. It creates a youthful appearance and a better skin tone. It gives a person a boost of energy, stamina, and vitality as well as offering relief from back pain, aches, pains including stiffness of joints. Not only that it also adds sexual prowess, libido and offers easier weight maintenance as well as a better and healthier outlook in life.

New Breed of Homo Sapiens
Are you interested in Stem Cell therapy but would like to find a simpler way to understand how it works?

Lourdes Duque Baron, an award-winning author of two books ” Scripted in Heaven” and ” I Called Myself Cassandra” is releasing her new book New Breed of Homo Sapiens, to serve as a guide for anyone who is interested to maximize their time here on earth. The book explains how stem cell therapy has transformed her life.

How does a 73-year-old woman like her still be able to shoot a film, write a book, release one music album from another while traveling for humanitarian work and look sexy and vibrant?

Lourdes Duque Baron wrote her third book New Breed of Homo Sapiens as a simple yet extensive guide for people who are searching for answers on how they too can maximize their full health and brain potential with the help of stem cell therapy.

“I want my readers to fully understand and grasp the importance of this medical breakthrough,” she said. “We are talking about the future generations and the new breed of humans, and I want to bring the knowledge to the public’s doorstep,”

“We need to do more,” she said. “Let’s continue to take risks. Let’s tackle the issues. In ways, our music and film communities can do it better than anyone else. There is no challenge, artistic or otherwise, that we can’t meet,”
