Stem cells beat IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)

It’s not surprising that they can’t keep up. There are around 1.8 million articles published each year in about 28,000 journals. It’s one more reason they almost always stick with what they learned in medical school. The only studies conventional doctors tend to look at are those presented to them by Big Pharma reps peddling their wares – with research that Big Pharma itself usually funds. That means all the advances in stem cell research and therapy in recent years and their astonishing healing potential are simply not registering. Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve been studying stem cell research and applying the latest breakthroughs to help my patients for over a decade. The latest game-changer now reveals a new stem cell treatment for one of the most devastating conditions out there – inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD.1 The research found that stem cell therapy can alleviate the painful and often debilitating symptoms of this condition…without the exorbitant recurring costs of traditional meds for Crohn’s and its IBD partner ulcerative colitis. As a point of reference, the average cost of conventional IBD treatment costs around $23,000 a year – and, worse, many of these drugs reduce the effectiveness of your immune system and raise your risk of getting infections. Stem cell therapy is safe and available at a fraction of the cost of Big Pharma meds – which means conventional doctors are unlikely to recommend it. As a regular reader, you’ll know that stem cells are your body’s raw materials. They are the “unspecialized” cells that either “self-renew” into more stem cells or become “specialized” cells – like the ones that form tissues, organs, bones, skin, blood, and everything else. Stem cells are also responsible for vital parts of your immune system. They produce streams of new immune cells that fight infections, reduce inflammation and ward off diseases. The latest studies show that using mesenchymal stem cells – one of the safest, strongest anti-inflammatory tools available today – works wonders against IBD. You see, mesenchymal stem cells have a unique property that attracts them to inflammation. They regenerate damaged or diseased tissues, reduce inflammation, and modulate the immune system to promote better health and quality of life. In one key study, therapy using mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow – as we use in my clinic – was found to significantly reduce gastrointestinal gut inflammation, lower clinical disease activity, and improve quality of life for four years.2 At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, we started using bone marrow-derived stem cells taken from a patient’s hip area to treat various illnesses and chronic conditions – with incredible success. If you are ready to stop the pain and suffering that comes with IBD and want to give stem cell therapy a chance to work, please call my clinic at 561-784-7852. My staff is happy to schedule your appointment. Protect your gut to relieve IBD easily at home But even if you can’t get to my South Florida practice, there are steps you can take to manage your IBD at home. Here’s what the latest research suggests: - Supplement with zinc. This mineral is essential for maintaining a strong gut. Sadly, as many as 40% of older Americans are deficient. Studies show that supplementing with zinc can dramatically improve intestinal lining integrity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.3 Take 30 mg of zinc a day. But don’t take more than 40 mg per day over the long term. - Heal your gut with medical-grade cannabis. It turns out that your gut has its own endocannabinoid system.4 And activating this system with medical cannabis can prevent painful intestinal inflammation – and relieve IBD in most people. Research backs it up. Researchers in Israel recruited 46 people with moderately severe IBD symptoms. The patients’ inflammation levels were measured before, during, and after treatment. After using cannabis for eight weeks, 65% of the participants were in full clinical remission. And all the patients reported significant improvement in their quality of life.5 - Eat more of this gut-healing fruit. Treating IBD can be as easy as eating a handful of strawberries every day. A recent study looked at a group of mice with IBD. Some ate a regular diet. Others were given additional whole strawberry powder. The powder the mice ate was equivalent to three-quarters of a cup of fresh strawberries for a human. The mice eating the strawberry powder saw their IBD symptoms improve significantly. They stopped losing weight... their bloody diarrhea improved... and the inflammation in their colon cooled.6 To Your Good Health, Al Sears, MD, CNS --------------------------------------------------------------- References: 1.
