As I study stem cells, I see this more and more clearly. The body and soul do not age separately. We grow old together and recover together. How can I organize my life without being tied to a long hospital bed like Jacob? How can I end my life peacefully in meekness like Isaac? This book does not promise miracles. He doesn't even declare complete recovery. I just want to ask. Before we take aging for granted, before we resign ourselves to pain as fate, couldn’t we choose again?_18p

When aging and disease are added, people begin to feel ‘sick.’ However, most diseases do not appear suddenly. High blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis grow quietly within the body over a long period of time. Pain is the last sound of the body that is finally revealed after all the processes have accumulated. Pain is not a declaration that the body is broken, but rather a signal that the body has not given up yet._21-22p

‘Stem cell regenerative medicine’ is not a technology that makes a person younger. Medicine does not end with curing some of the diseased parts. The essence is medicine that restores humanity back to God's providence of creation. Now we must move toward the recovery of spirituality that allows us to feel and accept the Creator’s love. A world that does not age or get sick does not come about through the victory of technology. That world begins to be experienced only when we re-enter the order of love._28p

Stem cells emerge at the point of this signaling breakdown. Stem cells detect where damage has occurred and under what circumstances recovery has stopped, and then send a signal that it is okay to start again at that location. In other words, stem cells are not entities that achieve regeneration alone, but are coordinators and conductors that make the entire body cooperate again._35p

After a year, Chloe's hearing returned to normal, and from then on, Chloe's life began to expand not only with sound but also with a wider range of choices. At this point Chloe said: “At that time, rather than hearing a sound again, I felt like my life was opening up again.”_39-40p.

The signals sent by stem cells help vascular endothelial function, create a recovery-oriented microvascular environment, and contribute to improving the balance of oxygen, nutrient supply, and waste removal. As a result, the body spends the day in a less heavy state rather than suddenly gaining strength, and changes in a way that the next day is not scary even if you move a lot. This is the scientific reality of revitalization, which occurs when the cost of whole body metabolism goes down. In this respect, the role of stem cells is understood as creating conditions that can lower the cost._65p

Recreation is the final stage of recovery but also a new beginning. Even after reviving, rejuvenating, and giving life, God does not leave that life as is. Rather, He molds us into a new order and a new direction so that our lives do not collapse again and we do not return to our previous speed and desires. This is the love that is created anew, and the path to maturity required after recovery._79p

The most important thing in stem cell treatment is not where to put it, but where the cells go on their own. We call this ability homing. It may sound like a difficult word, but its meaning is simple. Stem cells have the ‘ability to visit painful areas on their own.’_90p

When stem cells are administered intravenously, the cells first circulate throughout the body along blood vessels. At this time, many people are worried. “Then aren’t the cells scattered everywhere?” But in reality this is not the case. Stem cells don't go anywhere. It's as if we look in the direction of smoke and say, "There's a fire over there." Just as you naturally turn your head, the stem cells move toward the place in your body that sent the signal, “This is the most important place.” Then, it arrives at the area and stays for a while to help with recovery. This is homing._91p

The reason I choose homeostasis as the most important role of stem cells is because stem cells do not just repair a single area, but also provide signals to help the body move towards maintaining balance again. So how do stem cells help homeostasis? A scientific explanation is needed here, but there is no need to make it difficult. The most important thing stem cells do is not to create new flesh, but to calm the body's turmoil and ‘return it to a state where recovery is possible.’_101-102p

Today, we too may be in the same reality as the stomach of each fish. But you must remember. The fact is that that place is not outside the grace of God. If we go beyond the old and sick world and put our focus back on God's grace, we can be thankful even when we are trapped in the belly of a fish. And that gratitude becomes the deepest and most powerful prayer that leads us back to safe land._112p

You can't say you're healed just because you're not sick. Just because the pain disappears does not mean healing is complete, and just because the symptoms subside does not mean aging has stopped. If the pain is gone but the resilience is not restored, and the wounds are covered but the organizational order is still broken, it is not true healing, but just a delayed collapse._117p

“Mom, I can see more clearly.” According to Kang-soo, he felt that he could see objects clearly more often and for longer than before, and the visual afterimages that caused inconvenience in his daily life became blurred. He also said that his legs and entire body, which had always felt cold, felt warmer. In particular, it was reported that pain throughout the body was significantly reduced, making it possible to live a more comfortable and enjoyable life than before._123p

Youth in this book does not simply mean the absence of disease or pain. Youth is a state in which the power to recover is alive, in other words, a state in which the ability to bounce back is maintained even when shaken. Young people are not those who do not fall, but those who believe that they can stand up again even if they fall, and actually can stand up. At the center of this resilience is always love._146p

A person who abides in the love of Jesus will not easily break down even if his body becomes weak. Even as we get older, we do not give up on life, and even if we get sick, we still expect recovery. This expectation is the signal of life, and when this signal does not go out, humans maintain the direction of life until the end, even in the face of old age and pain. Stem cells are a tool that helps this love operate within the body, and the love of Jesus is the source that surrounds the entire life so that the tool can operate._154p

When discussing a life that does not age or get sick, mentioning only the body first is only half the story. Recovery will not last long if you do not examine how your mind has been living, what you have been holding on to, what you have been living for, what you have been holding on to, and why you have always been nervous. This is because the body always projects the state of the mind._164p

Stem cell treatment assumes that our body is a microcosm. The body is a universe where everything is interconnected. However, modern medicine does not consider the whole and adopts a system of treating the disease in parts. Stem cells, on the other hand, are closer to an integrated treatment. Stem cells enter the body through blood vessels and circulate throughout the body to balance the body and turn abnormalities into normal. When I receive treatment with stem cells, some people's condition improves noticeably even in a short period of time, while others take a long time to recover. This is because each person's natural constitution and physical condition are different. Autologous stem cells are truly the most suitable treatment for ensuring that the human body, a microcosm, operates normally. To live a healthy life, you must maintain peace and balance in your body and mind. We also need to ensure that stem cells function normally. But can humans live in peace? It's not easy. Not only does it not work the way you want it to, but you also cannot stop a disease that comes unexpectedly with your will. So, to maintain balance, we culture stem cells outside the body and add more. I hope that each and every microcosm of humans can maintain their own world. I hope for a world where no one gets sick. ---p.35 Pain is engraved in the brain

Before the development of the Joint Stem, patients with degenerative arthritis mainly used anti-inflammatory painkillers that temporarily reduce pain and lubricants such as hyaluronic acid that softens joints. However, this only temporarily relieves symptoms and is not a treatment that inhibits the progression of the disease. Recently, with the advancement of biopharmaceutical technology, autologous cartilage cell treatments and allogeneic stem cell treatments have been commercialized. However, it is only used to partially reconstruct missing cartilage through invasive surgery accompanied by anesthesia. Ultimately, this means that patients with severe degenerative arthritis must undergo artificial joint replacement surgery. However, the older patients are, the greater the risk of surgery and they often still suffer from pain and side effects after surgery. As a result, patients try to avoid or delay surgery as much as possible. Why wouldn't that be the case? Surgery under general anesthesia and for a long time is bound to be a significant burden for elderly patients. For these people, treatment through simple local injections rather than surgery is truly a groundbreaking alternative. Joint Stem has opened a new path called ‘treatment without pain and fear.’ As such, Joint Stem is the result of approximately 15 years of effort from the Rbio Biostar Stem Cell Technology Research Institute's development in 2006 until its safety and effectiveness were confirmed through phase 3 clinical trials in 2021. And we succeeded in development through formulation research, quality and facility establishment, and non-clinical and clinical trials. A highly safe biopharmaceutical has been developed that reduces pain and improves joint function with effects that last for more than 3 years after a single local injection into the knee joint by culturing autologous adipose stem cells from patients with degenerative knee arthritis. ---p.44~45 It’s not surgery, it’s injection treatment!

After receiving the stem cell treatment, I could not touch the ground with my treated leg, and I alternated between using a wheelchair and crutches at home for two months. I didn't go outside at all for three months. I was careful and didn't use my knees as much as possible. Instead, I did stretching by bending and lowering my ankle, 3 sets of 12 times a day, without missing a day for 3 months. At first, even light movements were difficult, but over time, knee movements gradually began to become easier. And just six months later, I received good news from a knee arthroscopy. Doesn't this mean that the cartilage hasn't worn down any more and is being slightly regenerated? At first, I couldn't believe my ears. However, since it was not to the point where surgery was not necessary, I asked to see the results in a year. In the meantime, I also received hyaluronic acid injections, and at that time, I was diagnosed with ‘KL grade 2’ osteoarthritis on an X-ray. I was told that although there was bone proliferation, there was little or only a slight decrease in the space between joints. The condition of my knee was definitely improving compared to before. The doctor was also surprised. Usually, the condition gets worse, reaching ‘KL grade 4’, but he was happy that it was getting better. A few months later, I went to Biostar for an MRI and some other tests, where I received stem cell treatment. “Mom, cartilage regeneration has been confirmed.” “Huh? What? My knee cartilage actually regenerated? “Thank you so much, teacher! “Mom, now I can walk alone and sleep comfortably.” ---p.59 Spring has come in my life too

The most surprising change occurred in language skills. Before, I stuttered or couldn't complete sentences because I couldn't think of words, but after treatment, I was able to say whatever came to my mind. Before that, there were many days when I didn't say a single word because of my slurred speech. It was hard to accept that my body had changed, and when I couldn't even speak properly, my self-esteem plummeted. Then, although I was a little slower, I was able to express what I thought in my head into words just like before. I am convinced that this is the effect of stem cell therapy. Currently, I am continuing to receive stem cell treatment and am looking forward to the day when I can get out of my wheelchair and walk on my own to Japan. In addition to my normal daily life of walking on my own and with my family, I also dream of returning to work as a dermatologist taking care of patients at a hospital. Yesterday was my fifty-third birthday. While I was fighting Parkinson's disease, I couldn't properly say thank you to my family. But on my birthday, I said thank you and love you with all my heart. “I can definitely stand up again. I will return to my previous healthy self and restore my life as a wife and mother. And I will go to the side of patients again.” ---p.114 I am a Chinese doctor with Parkinson's disease.

After three years of marriage, I couldn't get pregnant, so visiting a fertility center was crucial. As a result of the examination, it was discovered that she had a very serious condition of hyperthyroidism and that she had suffered a miscarriage as a result. I heard that the major hormones secreted by the thyroid gland are essential for the brain development and growth of the fetus, and that if the disease is not treated, not only will a fertilized egg not be implanted, but even in vitro fertilization will not be possible. (…) While taking thyroid medication, I had to suffer from complications such as eye protrusion. Having bulging eyes was more than just an inconvenience; it drew people's attention and took away my confidence. Going to the hospital every week and enduring steroid injections into my eye muscles was a painful and exhausting process. At the same time, I started receiving stem cell injections every two weeks starting in May 2019, which ignited another spark of hope for me. There were no noticeable changes in the beginning after receiving the injection, but over time, I could feel my body slowly recovering. My unstable hormone levels gradually began to stabilize, and as my fatigue decreased, I was able to experience a different vitality than before. Two months later, my gynecologist said my hormone levels had returned to normal and recommended IVF treatment. At first, I was nervous because the medical staff said it would take several attempts, but miraculously, I succeeded on the first attempt. ---p.205~206 I overcame hypersensitivity and met my child.

The anticancer mechanism of angel stem cells can be explained by upregulating the expression of famous cancer cell death genes called Fas Ligand and TRAIL, which ultimately kills cancer cells. The anti-cancer effect of angel stem cells was confirmed not only in ‘in vitro’, an experiment conducted in a laboratory environment, but also ‘in vivo’, an experimental method that studies phenomena occurring inside living organisms. The tumor growth inhibition effect was confirmed through several experiments as follows. We are currently developing a cancer treatment stem cell vaccine that can clean out cancerous cells in the body by inserting an anti-cancer gene (TRAIL+IFN-β) into a very safe AAV (Adeno-Associated Virus) vector to infect stem cells and administer them. (…) Biostar researchers have confirmed the possibility that stem cells can not only suppress cancer, but also treat cancer and even serve as a cancer treatment vaccine. However, recent global cancer research has revealed research results showing that cancer cells can be returned to normal cells. So, if you activate a specific gene in a cancer cell, you can change it back into a normal cell. Cancer treatment to date has been carried out by killing cancer cells. Now, the research is not about killing cancer cells, but turning them into normal cells. In my opinion, if stem cell technology is utilized well, there is a high possibility that Biostar's adult stem cell technology will be used to return cancer cells to normal cells. Therefore, I believe that the day is not far when we will be able to utilize the stem cells that the Creator has prepared within our bodies to prevent cancer, prevent its recurrence, and treat cancer. ---p.235~239 An era of suppressing cancer cells and preventing cancer

In short, stem cells are pluripotent cells that can create all the cells that make up our body. For example, when your knee is scratched, it becomes sore and painful over time, then a scab forms, and after a few days, new skin grows. The peeled area has lost skin cells. The growth of new skin here is the process of creating skin cells. New skin cells can be created because the skin contains stem cells, which are factories that create skin cells. Thanks to stem cells, the knee is being healed. The stem cells that exist in our bodies are already hard at work. Unfortunately, stem cells exist in small quantities in tissues and organs. We are fighting hard to return the abnormal body to normal, but the resources we have are not enough. What should you do if you're at war and don't have enough troops? Reserve resources must be replenished, trained, and sent to the battlefield. In other words, you can only win the war if you replenish your troops. The principle of stem cell treatment is also the same. Using stem cell culture technology, we extract some stem cells from our body. If you cultivate this young and fresh person and then put it back into the body, you will have a trained elite army. It is a very simple principle to restore our body. So who does the treatment? This is what my body does. - Pages 31-32 New leaves can grow on old trees

In August 2008, I cultured my own fat stem cells and injected them into my veins. It was the first attempt in Korea. Everyone around me was against it. Since I was young, I had severe atopic dermatitis, so I couldn't wear shorts until my 20s, and the itchiness all over my body was indescribable. In addition, there were concerns about liver function because I had hepatitis B antigen. (…) To explain the changes in my body that I have felt over the past 15 years, I would say that there is no significant regression in physiological functions compared to before experiencing stem cells. I like hiking, so whenever I go trekking with my company employees, employees who are 10 years or older complain. Maybe it's because I got stem cells, but it's hard to keep up with my pace. This means that the cardiopulmonary function is good and the leg muscles and joints are in youthful condition. Another change is that the hormones in your body become better balanced. Since the secretion of hormones such as male hormones, growth hormones, and insulin is normal, physiological functions are also normal. People say that my facial skin hasn't aged much even though I don't use sunscreen. Lately, I feel like my brain has become younger. Memory and cognitive abilities improved, and judgment also improved. Comprehensive health checkups are conducted every two years, and the hearing test results in 2022 have improved compared to two years ago. It's reverse aging. Above all, my atopy disappeared after experiencing stem cells. My late mother and older brother suffered from liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, so I, a carrier of inactive hepatitis B, must always be careful of the worsening of active hepatitis and always manage my liver to prevent it from going into cirrhosis. However, since stem cell administration, liver function has been maintained normally. And people around me say it's impressive to see that I usually work without notes and rely solely on my memory. Even when it comes to tasks that require concentration for several hours, my concentration level is higher than that of most young people. - Pages 34-36, A sick body or an old body is not determined by age.

Preparing for retirement is often summed up as holding on to money until the day you die, but what you really need is good health. This is the story of Shinpachi Fujita, a living witness who achieved the reversal of aging. Born in 1947 and approaching his 80s, he is a renowned businessman in the Japanese construction industry. Working in business for a long time took a toll on my body, and working at a construction site caused a lot of hearing loss. As I got older, various parts of my body ached, and because of dizziness, I had to lean against a wall when going to work. He said he had difficulty sleeping at night due to severe pain in the back of his neck and numbness in his left hand. I survived with medication and painkiller injections for about 5 years. Then, I experienced stem cells. After 10 days, I felt as if my body had become lighter, and my dizziness symptoms had improved. And after 30 days, the dizziness was completely gone and I could hear in my left ear. Previously, you had to raise the TV volume above 30dB (decibel) to hear it, but even when set to 10dB, you could hear it well, so you were so happy that you jumped up and down. Also, because of my back injury, I suffered from tremendous pain every winter, but from that year on, the pain disappeared like a lie, so I decided not to have the surgery I was considering. Even though he is approaching 80, he lives a healthy and happy life and says, “Stem cell treatment is the best thing I have done in my life.” - Pages 68-69 “It’s okay to just lie down, so just stay alive.”

One day in 2016, Reporter Jeong introduced me to Captain Um Hong-gil, and it was a truly precious meeting. Captain Um Hong-gil, a world-famous mountaineer, has an abnormal right foot. In 1998, while climbing Annapurna, an accident resulted in a completely sprained ankle, and he was later classified as disabled. When I climbed Nanga Parbat in 1992, I got frostbite and had to have part of my big toe amputated. My ankle does not bend when I walk, and my big toe, which balances my body, is short, so I cannot use my right foot when I walk. When I climb a mountain, I have to tiptoe, which causes pain, and I also have difficulties in my daily life, so when I have to sit on a chair for a long time and then have to come down the stairs, I waddle down like a limp. The doctor who performed the ankle surgery advised me to “use it sparingly.” Nevertheless, Captain Eom taught me a pure love for mountains by climbing Mt. Everest and other mountains in Korea with me. In 2019, we were appointed as our research institute's stem cell ambassador and injected 100 million cells of autologous fat-derived stem cells into the ankle joint. Even now, when I climb a mountain together, I look for clues to reversing aging by looking at Captain Eom, who leads the way quickly even in his mid-60s. Breathing fresh air, walking every day, living happily, serving, working hard… . This is the secret to rejuvenating and revitalizing the stem cells in our body. - Pages 88-91, A clue to reversing aging found through Captain Um Hong-gil

The doctor asked me if I had done anything other than eye treatment, and I answered: “I receive stem cell treatment.” He then said that unproven methods could be a hindrance to treatment, so he could not be held responsible if the symptoms worsened. So I said I would take responsibility for it myself, got prescribed eye drops, and continued stem cell treatment. After that, I consulted with the doctor again, and surprisingly, he said that my vision was maintaining normal. The doctor asked him to describe the extent of his vision. “It looks like it’s open 180 degrees.” The doctor said that according to the results, his vision would appear limited, like looking out through a hole in the bottom of a paper cup. the doctor asked in disbelief, moving to the side. “Can you see me?” “You’re holding a ballpoint pen and moving around right now.” “Then do you see the nurse on the right?” “The nurse is working on the computer right now.” The doctor said he couldn't understand. The only thing he did in addition to eye drops was stem cell treatment. His vision was restored and he was able to lead a normal life. - 173~174, A flower blooming from despair_Experience of reversing eye disease

Pastor Cho Yong-gi, who founded Yoido Full Gospel Church, is a symbolic figure in Korean Protestantism. The pastor I met in 2009 had very severe symptoms of Parkinson's disease. I couldn't climb the stairs, and drool was dripping from the corner of my mouth. It is said that after preaching for about 15 minutes from the pulpit, he felt exhausted, dizzy, his heart was pounding, and he was in pain. As a result of my missionary work in various parts of the world, which took me 115 times around the world for over 50 years, my entire body became weak. Although I spent a year organizing my affairs, meeting people, and preparing to end my life, my body became weaker day by day. Meanwhile, I heard an amazing story about an acquaintance of mine suffering from spinal cancer who was completely cured after receiving stem cells, even though white medicine was ineffective. Pastor Cho Yong-gi received stem cells for a year and became a new person. “I am now 75 years old, but I feel younger as if I were in my 50s. Now, no matter how much I preach, I don’t get tired, I don’t get tired, and the amazing thing is, I sleep well.” It is said that in the past, even after taking sleeping pills, he could not sleep. However, after receiving the stem cells, as soon as I sat down, I fell asleep and said it was okay. I fell asleep even when sitting at my desk, I fell asleep even when I lay down, and because I slept well, my fatigue went away at any given time. “When you get stem cells, a new youth comes to you. I originally thought I wouldn’t be able to live until I was 80, but honestly, if things are the same now, I don’t think there will be any problem with living until I’m 100.” - Pages 207-208, A world that does not age as seen through Pastor Cho Yong-gi

Many people think of dementia as a genetic disease. Of course, it cannot be said that there are no genetic factors. However, dementia that appears in old age is mainly caused by acquired factors. It can also be seen as a type of lifestyle disease. So, from now on, we need to correct our wrong lifestyle habits and make them into good habits with patience and perseverance without resting._32p

If you feel numbness, weakness, or loss of consciousness on one side of your body, you should suspect a stroke. People often have difficulty speaking, experience sudden visual impairment, dizziness, loss of balance, or severe headaches of unknown origin. If you have these symptoms, you should rush to the hospital immediately. If you ignore the symptoms because they are not severe, you may suddenly collapse in the middle of the street one day._59~60p

Among dementia symptoms, memory deterioration is a key problem in the early stages, and the extent of dementia worsening can be determined by determining whether only explicit memory or implicit memory is damaged. In the early stages of dementia, explicit memories often disappear. It is said that there are cases where dementia patients recognize their spouse even though others do not. This is probably because the spouse is stored in implicit memory._63p

If you have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease dementia, you need to make sure that the diagnosis is accurate. This is because the diagnostic method for Alzheimer's disease and dementia cannot be considered perfect, and some types of dementia are treatable. However, if you are diagnosed with dementia through an accurate examination, you must accept the facts as they are. Just finding out that you have dementia can lead to depression and the fear that you will not be able to live as you want. It may be difficult, but only by humbly accepting and affirming that you have dementia can you look back and reflect on your lifestyle and life so far. Additionally, you must patiently and faithfully implement the brain regeneration program while taking medications as prescribed by a specialist. There is no reason to give up._88~89p

Exercise can also increase your resistance to stress and help your brain grow. When you feel depressed, it is good to cry, shout, and express your feelings through words. However, if you express it to your family or other people, it may cause new conflicts, so it is better to express it when no one is around. If a depressed person has more things to laugh about and laughs more often, he or she will naturally get out of depression._109p

It is said that as hearing loss in older people becomes more severe, the risk of dementia increases. According to a study conducted over 10 years by Dr. Frank's team at the Johns Hopkins Medical Research Institute in the United States, the incidence of dementia increased as the severity of hearing loss increased, and in particular, the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease increased depending on the severity of hearing loss._121p

While researching dementia, I learned that in order to prevent or treat dementia, we must be humble and pure. We must return to the innocence of infancy, which we do not remember, and to the humility of childhood, when we could not do anything without someone helping us. If you become humble, you can change your current lifestyle habits. As you follow the doctor's instructions well and live a grateful life, you will have more joy and laughter. I don't get angry or angry with my family or colleagues, and I don't feel jealous or jealous because I think of others as better than myself._127p

To prevent or treat dementia, brain cells must be young, undamaged, and well-connected. Only then can your memories be stored intact and easily retrieved when needed. Just as we need to eat to survive, brain cells must receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients through blood to survive, and waste products must be excreted smoothly. Additionally, the nutrients supplied through blood must be clean and abundant. Even if there is a shortage, it is a problem, but excessive supply is also not good. He emphasized that in order to properly supply blood to the brain, good sleep, exercise, stress management, and diet management are important, and that attention must be paid to preventing stroke._139~140p

All kinds of things can happen while living in this world. There are things that you should not be indifferent to, just because you have not experienced them or because they are unlikely to happen to you. Dementia creates situations that are mentally and physically difficult for you and those around you, and sometimes even creates unexpected legal disputes. So, when you are of sound mind, it is a good idea to organize the traces of your life in the world and take care of the people you are legally obligated to take care of. This is because humans do not live for 10,000,000 years, and we cannot know what we will suddenly face._154p

I firmly believe that many of the degenerative diseases we worry about in the aging age can be conquered with our own stem cells. We must quickly open the way for a new medical system that allows patients to cultivate and store their own stem cells and use them when needed. Adult stem cells should be developed as medicine for specific diseases, but there should be a shift in thinking to natural therapy that maintains ‘homeostasis’ by replenishing stem cells that are lacking in our body, just as we consume ginseng extract as food._162-163p

The reason why memory and cognitive ability can be improved through consistent exercise, nutritional management, and prayer can be found in the plasticity of nerve cells. So, I believe that dementia can be treated with stem cells and prayer. Cell regeneration and new connections are possible to achieve reorganization of the brain network._186p

I thought a lot about ‘threshold’ while watching people receiving treatment to replenish stem cells. I learned that the time it takes to achieve the desired improvement in the body and the number of cells needed vary greatly from person to person. If we compare stem cells to seeds, the state of our body, which can be said to be a field, is managed so that the seeds can fall and grow well and bear fruit, and even if a small number of stem cells are replenished in a short period of time, the ‘threshold’ is satisfactorily reached. Even if the seeds are good and the soil is good, fruit does not necessarily bear fruit. There must be adequate sunlight and rain, and fertilizer must be applied to enrich the soil. In other words, with a positive and joyful mind, faith to believe without seeing, and earnest prayer of confidence, you can overcome the ‘threshold’ at some point and experience the joy of new health._190-191p

When stem cells are activated in our body, we can stay healthy and avoid dementia even without eating wild ginseng or supplementing with stem cells. To be healthy, the 60 trillion cells in our body must live and function healthily. When your skin is injured, it heals by creating new skin over time. This is because under the skin there are stem cells that can create skin cells. When you get the flu, the function of the olfactory nerve cells in your brain stops and you cannot smell, but the reason you can smell again is because stem cells regenerate cells._194p

Our bodies are already ready to create new cells, and those are stem cells. In other words, it is the source of our body's natural regenerative power. Also, when a father and mother fall in love, the egg and sperm meet to create a fertilized egg, and through cell division, a blastocyst is formed. Inside, there is a cell mass called the inner cell mass, and embryonic stem cells can be obtained by separating the inner cell mass. These stem cells refer to undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into somatic cells that make up our body, such as nerve cells, liver cells, vascular cells, adipocytes, and cartilage cells. To put it simply, they are mother cells._200~201p

Stem cells are cultured and injected directly into the brain, or administered intravenously or intraarterially. Once the stem cells reach the brain, they are differentiated into nerve cells, and new nerve cells are regenerated in the brain of a patient whose nerve cells have died, or the disease is treated by increasing the activity of nerve cells originally existing in the surrounding area._235p

into the book

When the skin is injured, new skin is created over time. This is because there are stem cells under the skin that produce skin cells. When you get the flu, the function of the olfactory nerve cells in your brain is temporarily suspended or lost, making it difficult to smell well. However, when the flu is over, you can smell again because the stem cells responsible for the sense of smell have been regenerated._31p

Adult stem cells are natural healing substances that exist within the body. If used well, it can be more effective in preventing disease than treating it. In other words, it has a greater effect on slowing human aging and maintaining a healthy life._34p

Adult stem cells found in organs exhibit different characteristics depending on the origin of each organ, and also show differences in areas in which they can differentiate. In the past, it was known that adult stem cells in one tissue differentiate only into cells of that tissue, but recent research results have reported that they can also differentiate into cells of other tissues._46p

Adult stem cells not only enable organ regeneration required in actual medicine using various types of adult stem cells, but also have the ability to differentiate according to the characteristics of each organ after transplantation._50p

Adult stem cells is a name that encompasses all stem cells found in bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, skin, adipose tissue, nervous tissue, liver, pancreas, and bile ducts. Among adult stem cells, the ones that have been studied the longest are hematopoietic stem cells, which are widely used clinically in bone marrow transplantation._57p

Epidermal stem cells have the ability to completely restore and regenerate the epidermis, and are known to be capable of differentiating into other types of cells and tissues when given appropriate stimulation. In other words, recent research has shown that stem cells derived from human skin have the ability to differentiate into nerve cells, suggesting the ability of skin stem cells to restore skin and the possibility of application to other diseases._82p

The reason why adipose stem cells are used to treat various diseases is that, unlike other stem cells, adipose stem cells are easily isolated and cultured from fat, and because they use autologous cells, there is no rejection by the immune system, and unlike embryonic stem cells, they do not cause cancer, which is a very important clinical advantage._88p

Six months after receiving the stem cells, patients were able to walk an average of 60 seconds longer on a treadmill than placebo patients. Additionally, stem cell transplant patients reported less pain during exercise and took longer rest periods. Additionally, Dr. Arshed Qiyoumi of Amory University in the United States reported that when autologous stem cells were injected into the blocked coronary artery of patients undergoing stent surgery after a heart attack, heart function improved as the amount of injected stem cells increased._104p

Research is underway to treat rheumatoid arthritis using adipose stem cells. Gonzalez et al. induced arthritis in an animal model, administered human adipose stem cells, and measured clinical scores and the degree of inflammatory response. As a result, it was reported that adipose stem cell administration significantly reduced the incidence and intensity of arthritis, reduced various inflammation-related cytokines, chemokines and cells in lymph nodes and joints, and induced the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, thereby improving rheumatoid arthritis._161p

While various treatments are being attempted, there is recent hope that adult bone marrow will help treat patients with chronic liver disease, and clinical trials are being reported to treat decompensated cirrhosis, acute liver failure, and liver failure after extensive liver resection with stem cells. Research is actively underway to regenerate the damaged liver and improve its function by transplanting fetal liver stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and adult stem cells along with bone marrow._199p
