Unfortunately the lung cancer grew. Looked into stemcells as lung cancer treatment yielded almost no studies published on the web except

Stem cells and Vitamin C

Researchers in Guangzhou China have found that vitamin C induces somatic cells or mature cells that are present in all our organs, to become pluripotent stem cells.

Moreover, vitamin C seems to unblock a cell's programming for senescence (or aging) to become a pleuripotent stem cell.

Hmmmm more reason to take those Vitamin c. So now, we can call vitamin C an anti-aging vitamin.

Stem Cells

I just came across a product that is claimed to have stimulating effect on a body's own stem cells. This is not like other products that uses embryos, placental tissues or from other animals. Its from Spirulina.

This would definitely be good for vegetarians and those who are against embryo harvesting.

The question remains, is that if it really does what it claims to do. There is only one study on the effect on this product among healthy volunteers. I would love to see if it can do the same for sick persons. And secondly, if it really can help improve the condition of a sick person.

I'm a bit skeptic until proven otherwise. But I would love it if this thing works. Its definitely cheaper and a better alternative
