Heart attacks have also not gone unnoticed by Robert Lanza and his colleagues. In fact, they invented a way of developing hemangioblasts still from embryonic cells. They were then experimented on animals and were found to effectively and quickly repair vascular damage. This in turn significantly reduced the number of deaths by heart attack and as well increased the ability of blood to flow back to the limbs in case of one. Therefore limb amputation was found no longer to be necessary after a prolonged heart attack.

Robert Lanza has also greatly pushed his research into helping animals. He has been an animal lover right from childhood, something that can easily be proven after one instance in which he cured an injured rooster and kept it as a pet. In fact, some year during his study in the University Of Pennsylvania, he won the attention of researchers from the Harvard University after he successfully clowned chicken that he reared.

His love on animals saw him seek for a solution of extinction through cloning. He claimed that it was possible to save endangered animals by cloning preserved tissue or cells. Many people doubted this and criticized that it was a method far too expensive yet there was no way to guarantee the survival of an endangered animal in an environment that was evidently killing it.

Robert Lanza then carried out practical experiments on his theory and successfully managed to clone an endangered guar. unfortunately, it died two days after being given birth to due to dysentery. Two years later he re-attempted the demonstration and was able to clone a banteng that grew up in the San Diego zoo without any complications whatsoever.

Robert Lanza has indeed proven his prowess in science and he remains one among the very few people in the world said to have greatly shaped and improved the life in the coming decades.

What are these cord blood stem cells and what are the benefits that they can give to us especially to those sick people? If you are not aware, cord blood stem cells are now the newest and the most effective tool to cure more than eighty serious sicknesses around the world. There are already people who are cured and now recovering from serious diseases. In case you have no plans of keeping your baby’s cord blood, it is best if you just donate it for other’s use.

As you can see there are so many people out there who are suffering much from serious illnesses but they can’t just do something about it since they have no money to use for their treatment. With the cord blood donation that you will give, you can save lives of some of them. You have no idea what your donation can do so instead of throwing it, give it to public banks. With this, you already give these people the chance to live longer and start a new life without the sickness that they are enduring.

For those of us living in the West, it can seem a little strange to hear of all the uses for acupuncture. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as now practiced in China itself and throughout ASEAN, has the complete trust of the people forming slightly less than one-third the Earth’s population. The current population of the world is about 6.8 billion. The number of people actively relying on TCM is about 2 billion. The question this forces you to ask is, Can all these people be wrong? The answer is easy. For two thousand years, TCM has been building up expertise and has earned the trust and respect of each new generation as it grows up with the latest practice standards. Before we in the West get too high and mighty, we should remember that up to about one-hundred-fifty years ago, we were relying on hard drugs derived from opium like cocaine, using leeches to purify the blood and maggots to cleanse the wounds of those wounded in battle.

Against this background, it’s interesting to watch the spread of acupuncture in the West. For the last twenty years, there’s been a steady trickle of research studies praising acupuncture in the treatment of physical conditions. The best results are achieved by combining meditation through tai chi with acupuncture. It’s the balance between stimulation of the nerve bundles through the needles and the smooth physical movement of tai chi. This is the yin and yang of static and mobile treatments. The fairly consistent testbed for this type of alternative therapy has been the military. As an increasing number of personnel are returning home injured from active service in the Gulf and Afghanistan, it has been appropriate to throw out the medical rule book and try every possible therapy to deal with increasingly complex injuries.

At first, this was a successful approach to physical injuries but, with up to 45% of returnees suffering a mental disorder (about 17% have PTSD), a more active approach to their treatment has been required. Currently, there are sixteen different programs for PTSD based on acupuncture along with counseling and other supportive therapies. The first large-scale program began in the appropriately named Fort Bliss in 2007. This was a response to the spike in suicides among active service personnel. The Fort Bliss approach is now the increasing pattern for treating PTSD and, as more Vets are returning to civilian life, they are demanding acupuncture from their local healthcare services. The military does not care whether a treatment is standard or not. It’s only interested in practical benefits. Soldiers have been returning to active duty. That’s all the proof the Army needs. Hopefully, the civilian world will be more open-minded.

This turn to the East has not driven out Western medicine altogether. There’s still reliance on Valium (Diazepam) as one of the more reliable of the anti-anxiety medications. The strategy is to use an initial week or so of Valium (Diazepam) to break the cycle of hypervigilance and threatening depression. This produces a calmness of mind and, with the support and encouragement of the Army psychiatrists, the soldiers move on to acupuncture. This balance between drug therapy with Valium (Diazepam) as needed and consistent acupuncture and meditation is producing scientific data that will hopefully convince civilian doctors to take acupuncture more seriously.

Asthma is on the rise today. While it has been unclear what exactly happens to cause asthma, the factors that contribute to the development of the condition are clear.

Namely, air pollution is the big one. This wreaks havoc on the body anyhow, but asthma develops when the autoimmune response to airborne toxic invasions is off the charts.

Humans have been flocking to urban centers for the last few hundred years. There were big cities before, such as Edo, feudal Tokyo, which has a population of over a million even 300 years ago. However, nothing like today. We see tens of millions of people living in one city space. More importantly, we see thousands and thousands of factories polluting the air in these densely populated urban centers.

There is also something called the hygiene hypothesis to consider. This essentially proposes that humans have become too clean. We control our environments to remove any possibility of contagions, contaminants, and germs so that we never get sick. Unfortunately, this also means that our immune systems don’t get tested as much as they traditionally would. Sanitation is important. Without it, we could suffer serious infections and diseases all the time-this still does occur pretty frequently in the United States and the rest of the developed world.

As our immune system – which is responsible for fighting off infections – goes untested, it tends to become hyperactive to small invaders. This includes pollen in the case of seasonal allergies and air pollution in the case of asthma.

Treatments

Usually, asthma is treated with inhalers. However, these medicines go right to the lungs rather than the blood stream. While this might seem more effective in temporarily reducing symptoms, it does little to actually stop the asthma.

This observation, which is backed by science as well as being commonly anecdotal, has led to speculation among the populous that inhalers are just filled with water vapor and other such things and are merely about getting people’s money, not treating asthma. Some conspiracy theorists have even stated that asthma is not real.

Asthma is very real. Inhalers are good treatments as well. However, inhalers are not the only way to treat asthma. There are methods of environmental control, as well as corticosteroids.

Controlling your Environment

If were so easy, you could just simply move to somewhere with cleaner air. In the short term, this can often cause an increase in symptoms, but as the body gets used to the cleaner, fresher air, asthma symptoms often go away. Some researchers have even proposed that the condition relents and disappears entirely. However, this is most likely true only for children. If you want to protect your children from asthma, move out of the big metropolises like Los Angeles, Houston, Shanghai, Taiwan, and Seoul that are famous for their air pollution.

Short of this, you can wear a gas mask.
Actually, even moving to the suburbs will help a lot.

Prednisone

This is an oral steroid treatment. Prednisone suppresses the immune system to provide quick and lasting relief. Prednisone is taken orally and goes right into the blood stream. It is recommended for severe attacks or long-term problematic asthma.
