Gerald Armstrong asked:


Did you know that aging begins at 30! And every second somewhere in the world someone turns 50! And the quality of life for the average person stops at age 51. After that, it takes medical intervention to manage their symptoms to maintain their “health”. And only 1 in 10,000 people makes it to 100 years old… and a shocking proportion of those people who reach the age of 100 are very poor! “Aging is a barbarick phenomenon that shouldn’t be tolerated in polite society,” says University of Cambridge gerentologist Aubrey de Grey. I Gerald Armstrong the owner of Gen Cells Cures agree. The stem cell research including therapeutic cloning and genomics research needs to bo done now to accomplish our goal of finding the cure for old age.

Why doesn’t everyone want the cure for old age? You tell me I simply don’t understand why more people don’t want the cure for old age. So little money goes into research to cure old age that it’s a crying shame! Maybe it’s because people don’t believe it can be done. Since the dawn of time there have always been critics and skeptics who sit at the sidelines and say it can’t be done or that we are pushing snake oil cures etc. Make no mistake about it Gen Cells Cures has our critics. Food for thought about skeptics and critics: The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits. Albert Einstein. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistingushable from magic. Arthur C. Clark. We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Plato. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former. Albert Einstein. Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed. Thomas Henry Huxley. In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. Galileo Galilei.

Main stream scientists are sometimes afraid to get involved in serious gerentology for fear of being branded whackos. Well. let me give it to you straight fom the horses mouth the technologies are now here to do the job. They are in our very own hands. I want to remind you that when Neil Armstrong (I like to call him Uncle Neil) became the first human to step foot on the moon, on July 20, 1969 I knew that humans would live to be 200 years old and beyond with just a little research. However since 1969 serious gerentology has been put on the back burner. Only in the past five years or so has the science of gerentolgy began to accelerate with the discovery of stem cells, cloning and rapid advances in genomics. With todays science nothing is impossible.

Lets talk about 1969 for one second, Viet Nam, Flower Power, free love, a new generation, my generation, we thought we would live forever, and we didn’t trust any one over thirty. I was right there in Hait Ashbury. I know the younger generations since then have envied our time and they should, it was the life! Jimi Hendrix’s guitar was screaming “All Along The Watchtower” and we still had Elvis too! Well, I am a baby bomer and want some of it back. Yes, I am young for 55 but I can see what’s coming around the corner for me and my fellow hippies from 1969 (If they are still alive). And it isn’t pretty. No matter what generation your from, just stop and imagine for one moment what it would be like to have your youth back. Have you ever noticed how time flys like a jet airplane. Something has got to be done and we are going to do it right here in the labs at Gen Cell Cures.

How are we going to find the cure for old age?

Through stem cell research including therapeutic cloning and genomics research.The most difficult part of the nearly unthinkable has already been done. Through therapeutic cloning technologies we can take a patients cell back to the beginning of life. Now all that’s lacking is to perfect these technologies and take them from the bench to the patient. The Koreans human cloning experiments have opened the door wider on therapeutic cloning. We here at Gen Cells Cures have found that the Korean’s new technique of squeezing out the DNA from the egg cell works much better than sucking out the DNA with a tiny needle. Their cloning process was a spectacular achievememt.

Our biologists can re-set your aging clock. It’s just a matter of time. Take a look at your own clock. What time is it? What year is it? How old am I? Where has my life gone? If you want to get the staight scoop on aging contact Miller Quarles of the “Curing Old Age Foundation” or ask Harry Bernstein (“How Do I Move On Without My Soulmate?” Newsweek). From King Tut to Howard Hughes we all face the same dread …No matter how well we succeed in life, we’re all fated to loose it in the end to that pitiless serial killer- old age.

So is Gen Cells Cures suggesting there is a cure right now? Absolutely not, and the anti-aging clinics may be just a little bit ahead of their time. We do disagree with some mainstream scientists in that they do not believe aging can be researched as a disease. We believe aging is at the top of list of the deadly incurable diseases that can be cured. The cure is just around the corner. But the research has to be done and the sooner the better because time waits for no one, no matter how big your wallet is. If you don’t reach into your wallet and do the right thing. Sooner or later you won’t even be able to lift a finger to write the check. Age can and will kill you. Make no mistake about it aging is a disease to be feared. Yes, the disease of aging brings out the fear of God. However, I believe God wouldn’t have given us the ability to cure aging if he didn’t want us to find the cure. Scientists have succeeded in extending the life of some model organisms and humans are next. Currently there is no magic pill. The magic pill will be found in research and to accelerate that research we are recomending private research. You have a family doctor and other specialists. The time has arrived for you to have your own life-sciences researchers. The future is in stem cell research, therapeutic cloning and gernomics!.

Growing old is not all fun. We’re proned to rheumatism, gout, vision loss, hearing loss, and worst of all sexual disfuntion. Some need new knees, new hips, a pacemaker. Aging can be cured the same as any other disease. There is a lack of funds and public support for genuine ant-aging research. Many people tend to see Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease as theoreticaly curable, like polio, but aging as inevitable. There will always be the nay sayers until the cure arrives. We are very excited about the future possibilities from our specialzed research. What good is it if we find your cancer cure, heart disease cure, or stroke cure if we just turn around and let you die from old age. Those of us who have become convinced that aging is the root of nearly all late-life illnesses have not yet won over those of you who have the power to fund further research. For those of you who can see the light at the end of the tunnel for curing old age as we see it clearly shining on the other side of that tunnel may contact Gerald Armstrong from Gen Cells Cures. We can discuss your personal involvement in the cure for old age and other incurable diseases. Yes, even one person can make a difference in our futures and that one person could be you.

Gerald Armstrong asked:


How To Buy Your Way Out Of An Early Death From An Incurable Disease.

How?… With private stem cell research, of course!…Stem cell research holds more than hope for cures. The jury is in on stem cell research. Stem cell research can offer a cure for your incurable illness. With private stem cell research a personal cure for an ill patient can be accelerated. With every michroscope in the lab tuned into your unique disease a rapid cure is guaranteed. Private stem cell research for the wealthy (that will eventually lead to cures for everyone) has arrived!

So now you are all relaxed about your health’s future because some countries such as Switzerland and some American states such as California are beginning to endorse stem cell research.We too are excited about this ground breaking research. Unfortunately these researchers will be working with one hand tied behind their back because these countries and California are working with restrictive legislation that forbids or impedes the cloning of human embryos. That’s like giving them permission to build the fastest car in the world but with the restriction of not allowing them to put a motor in the car!

That’s why the major new cures for cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other incurable diseases will ultimately come from small offshore labs working without restrictive legislation from the western world. Thank God for the sake of our health that there is a world outside the United States and the Western countries. The number one lab in the world offering excellence in medical research is Gen Cells Cures owned by Gerald Armstrong. Our motto is “Have Michroscope will travel” When a government gets in the way of our life –saving research we will pack up our michroscopes and move on.

When Alexander Grahm Bell patented his telephone in 1876 it was the difference of a half turn of a screw that put him in the patent office before Elisha Gray. With only one company in the Grand Unites States openly working on therapeutic cloning, the U.S.A is left in the dust where innovative research and future cures are concerned.The U.S. was once at the forefront of medicine and technology, research and innovation, cures and prevention. Now the job falls into the hands of the few working outside America. In many cases the work will be done by Americans. Even the Korean’s who first cloned the human embryo had help from steady American hands, but the work was done in Korea by Koreans, not in America by Americans. We here at Gen Cells Cures have found that the Korean’s new technique of squeezing out the DNA from the egg cell works much better than sucking out the DNA with a tiny needle. Their cloning process was a spectacular achievement.

The only American company working openly with therapeutic cloning research in the country is Advanced Cell Tech. When the cure comes it will likely come from Gen Cells Cures or some other little basement lab out in the middle of nowhere. Gen Cells Cures wants the opportunity to find cures for major incurable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimers disease, diabetes and other dreaded incurable diseases. The only problem with Gen Cells Cures and Advanced Cell Tech is that both of these biotechs are always running out of the money needed to do the research. Getting private funding is like pulling teeth. It’s not easy work. The cure cannot come from the western world with restrictive legislation backed by ignorance and obscurantism. All that controversy over a stem cell smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Even if stem cell research (with it’s restrictive limitations) had all the funding in the world there will not be a cure found until all the research is completed and that includes the therapeutic cloning stem cell research. Through out history their have always been those people with dark age thinking who have held back scientific progress. Sadly, US President, George Bush is a victim of such limited thinking. Gen Cells Cures michroscopes already have Alexander Grahm Bell’s half turn of the screw built in for success with no U.S. competition.

Non-embryonic stem cell research has produced therapies for more than forty ailments including, heart disease, lupus, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, brain hemorrhage, brain tumors, retinoblastoma, ovian cancer, sarcomas, scleroderma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer and others. There have been no therapies from embryonic stem cell research so far simply because researchers have been using generic stem cells and there has not been one penny of public or private research money available for the real solution, therapeutic cloning stem cell research. While adult stem cell research received 190 million dollars from the U.S federal government in 2003. Therapeutic cloning stem cell research received zero dollars in funding support in 2003! What can you expect with zero dollars allotted to this life-saving research. Why hasn’t there been a cure from therapeutic cloning stem cell research so far? The answer is plain and simple, fear and ignorance has restricted the research!

Gen Cells Cures doesn’t like working with generic stem cells created from an egg and a sperm cell. There is no genetic match for our patient and you destroy the embryo that could have gone on to become a baby. The company likes working with perfectly matched cells created from a patient’s skin cell and a human egg cell. You have a perfect genetic match and the stem cell is made young again . While we like the applications of adult stem cells and will use adult cells until we unravel the secrets of therapeutic cloning. We would rather have our cure come from perfectly matched fresh young stems cells rather than adult stem cells that are as old as our patient! We see the somatic cell nuclear transferred stem cell brought back to the beginning of life as the key to unlocking the aging clock. We just don’t see a skin cell matched with an egg cell as a human being.

Fortunately for those of you with the ways and means and the vision to see the new dawn of stem cell research there is a way out for you and that way out is your own private medical research, (private stem cell research.) Gen Cells Cures is searching desperately for the funding to carry out the research that has been put on indefinite hold in the U.S. and the West. If someone knows a millionaire or a billionaire without a cause, please direct him or her to this stem cell research article. And if you know some one who is in desperate need of a cure, but is poor send him or her to us anyway. Maybe we can find their cure with our dime store michroscopes while we wait for the support to arrive to buy the high quality michroscopes we need to do the job. God tends to look after his flock. Gen Cells Cures offers stem cell research that includes a combination of an accumulation of today’s best science and molecular biology that fuses therapeutic cloning stem cell research and genomics, (without political or legislative restraints.) Gen Cells Cures futuristic medical research technologies are available to the public now! Stem cell therapies and cures are just around the corner brought to you by Gen Cell Cures advanced stem cell research… No FDA approval needed! Stem cell research, stem cell research and more stem cell research is your solution and stem cell research is the solution for the world.

Ollie Rush asked:


There are miracles hidden in stem cell research. Vehemently condemned by an uncompromising few, stem cell research holds the very keys to life we continue to look for. Though grounds for condemning stem cell research are well founded, the question of the value of life arises. Just how much importance does man place on life? The promising attributes of stem cell research are astounding. The real battle lies in penetrating the walls of resistance that have been put up to deny us the benefits of this great wonder of science.

One prominent religious figure says…do not use embryos in stem cell research. I can see and agree with his stance against use of human embryos. The destruction of human embryos,whether to acquire stem cells or for any other purpose contradicts the purported intent of researchers,legislators and public health officials to promote human welfare.

The church supports research on adult cells and even promising alternatives to embryonic research, like use of amniotic fluid protective fetuses in the uterus. Here we see some alternatives to embryonic stem cell research.

1. Therapeutic cloning no longer needed. Cloning is the use of technology to make an exact genetic copy of a living organism. That being said, the question arises. Is this scientific research overstepping boundaries not pleasing to God? The answer to cures for many ailments lies within the yes or no answer to this question.

Adult stem cells are more effective than embryonic stem cells in blood formation. Here are some promising advances.

1. Adult bone marrow stem cells show immune tolerance,not rejected.

2. They are stimulated to form insulin-secreting pancreatic cells..great for diabetics

3. Adult bone marrow stem cells can repair retina, prevent blindness, grow new blood vessels.

4. Adult liver stem cells make pancreatic cells, reverse hyperglycemia in diabetic mice.

5. Adult bone marrow stem cells transformed into functional liver cells

6. Form blood vessels

7. Adult muscle stem cells form multiple tissues:regenerate dystrophic muscle. Repair heart damage, form heart muscle,form kidney tissue, decrease parkinson’s symptoms, spinal cord regeneration. New corneas grown from patients own stem cells.

Can we afford to continue avoiding this issue? We have here the key to the door of medical miracles…Open it! Heart tissue may be regenerated from a heart stem cell. Stem cells from liver form heart tissue.

I dare allow you to form your own decision. Only do not wait too long,it may come a time you find yourself in the shoes of others. What do I mean by shoes of others? Do not wait until you are at death’s door before you realize the importance of what we already have but will not use because of offense’s sake!

Maria Zmudzki asked:


Health breakthrough in science!

There has been much talk in the media about stem c. research but many are not aware of adult stem c. The media speaks of embryonic stem c. but adult stem c., are very important as well.

First off, the adult stem c. are found among differentiated cells in tissues and organs of our body. So what does that mean exactly? The primary role of adult stem c. is to maintain and repair tissue in which they are found. They are found in all tissues of the growing human being and are believed to have the potential to change themselves into other cell types.

Stem cells can be found in various organs and tissues of the human body including the bone marrow, brain, peripheral blood, skeletal muscle, blood vessels, skin, heart, gut, liver, ovarian epithelium, testis and even the teeth. Quite often the cells will remain dormant in their existing organs and divide when they are needed. The cells will divide when repair is needed in the case of a diseased or injured tissue.

For many years it was believed that the reprogramming of stem c. was impossible, until recently when cells called pluripotent stem cells were discovered. These cells were discovered in various human tissues, such as the spinal cord, the brain and the connective tissue of various organs and the blood in the umbilical cord. These particular cells are capable of forming several cell types, specifically blood, muscle and nerve cells. This finding has shown that adult stem c. in tissues possess a greater potential than previously assumed.

Stem c. are being looked at much more closely now because of its properties. If the research regarding stem cell is meant to be used for therapeutic purposes, the use of stem cells can be very promising. Very promising treatment has already occurred with adult stem cells. The treatment of serious diseases has been found to be successful because there are no rejection reactions. There are no reactions simply because the cells are from the same body. Research continues on the benefits of using stem cells and promising discoveries are being made daily. There disadvantages to using stem cells but the advantages out weight them and as research continues the need for embryonic stem cells will continue to diminish.

Joseph C. asked:


All the ABC’s of bioethics have returned currently to the issue of embryo research. But first of all, let’s remind what’s the definition of a stem cell.

There are two kinds of stem cells: the totipotent stem cell which has the ability to differentiate into all types of cells, and the pluripotent stem cell which has a capability to give several types of cells. Apparently, the interest of researchers is focused on embryonic stem cells, the only problem is that they may involve the destruction of the embryo.

The researchers are interested by embryonic stem cells, which are extracted from embryos aged 5 to 7 days, i.e., those called pluripotent because they can differentiate into several types of human cell (blood, liver, heart, muscle, etc. ). For Annelise Bennaceur, a french hematologist and director of an INSERM unit on stem cell models: Knowing how does an embryo form is essential for the understanding of human genetic diseases that form in early stages of development.

In addition, the aim of stem cell research is to treat serious disorders. With embryonic stem cells, the idea is to control their differentiation by forcing them to evolve into the type of cell we want. But there are other sources of stem cells such as the adult stem cell, the cord blood stem cell and the induced pluripotent cells, which are adult cells reprogrammed to treat a specific pathology. Some types of cells have already proven their effectiveness: nearly 10 000 cord blood transplants were carried out in the world to treat blood diseases.

For instance, Nicolas Forraz, a researcher at the Institute for Research on Cord Blood Cell therapy (Lyon Saint-Priest / France) along with Professor Colin McGuckin, at the University of Newcastle, were able to differentiate cord blood stem cells in precursors of nerve cells, liver and pancreas. Furthermore, they identified pluripotent stem cells in the cord blood. Quoting Nicolas Forraz:

I feel sorry that most of the french public funds are invested in embryonic stem cell research. It would take at least a rebalancing of the grants.

Finally, there is another significant problem that those attempting to use embryonic stem cells for therapeutic purposes have to confront, it’s called immune rejection. Because embryonic stem cells will not ordinarily have been derived from the specific patient to be treated, there is a risk that they will be rejected by that patient’s immune system.

Scientists have proposed several different ways of avoiding this difficulty. These include using research cloning (somatic cell nuclear transfer) procedures to generate human embryonic stem cells that are genetically identical to those of the person receiving the transplant, genetically engineering the embryonic stem cells to express certain antigens of the recipient that would counter any possible immune reaction, or developing ”universal” donor stem cell lines that could be used in many different patients. However, each of these methods has its drawbacks.

John Leavitt, Ph.D. asked:


In mid-January 2008, we heard news that scientists at the small private company, Stemagen, in La Jolla, Calif., successfully cloned human embryonic stem cells. Until this breakthrough, human embryonic stem cells had not been successfully cloned. Only other mammals such as sheep, cattle, goats, mice, cats, and dogs had been cloned. We thought human cloning had been accomplished in May 2005 when Korean scientist reported cloning human cells. But his claim was later disproved as other scientists attempted to verify the result.

The details of Stemagen’s success appeared in the Jan. 17, 2008 issue of the journal, Stem Cells. Stemagen scientists inserted the nucleus of a male individual’s fibroblast (skin cell) into an enucleated female egg, then incubated and cultured stem cells from the blastocyst that developed from the artificially fertilized human egg. This success produced stocks of thousands to millions of “toti-potent” stem cells identical genetically to a single individual. These cells can now be the progenitors of all that individual’s different tissues.

Stemagen CEO Samuel Wood, M.D. Ph.D., donated the fibroblasts from which cell nuclei were taken to fertilize the enucleated female egg. Thus, embryonic cells that developed with Dr. Wood’s donated nuclei are clones of his own progenitor cells.

The prevailing concern was that to be successful once, the attempt at cloning would require hundreds of oocytes (eggs) to clone one individual’s stem cells successfully. Stemogen required only 25 donated oocytes to produce five blastocysts fertilized by a cell nucleus from another individual from which stem cells could be harvested and multiplied in culture.

Putting the Controversy into Perspective

Proponents of this stem cell harvesting technology (therapeutic cloning as opposed to reproductive cloning) hope that such autologous stem cells can be used to regenerate diseased tissues in these individuals using their own stem cells. This therapy is envisioned for treating such diseases as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Muscular Dystrophy, and for repairing spinal cord injuries without the immune system’s rejecting the tissue. Those against embryonic stem cell research argue against the development of this technology primarily to protect the “sanctity of life” and the right to life of the early-stage human embryo as an individual.

At the center of this debate is the issue of “when does human life begin?” One position is that human life begins with the existence of an egg. A second position is that human life begins with the fertilization of the egg. A third position is that human life begins with the recognition of self. Two years ago, I heard a Harvard stem cell scientist describe the following scenario to illustrate validity of the third position: “Imagine an IVF [in vitro fertilization] clinic that has caught fire and will burn to the ground. There is one person who is left trapped within the burning building along with thousands of fertilized eggs stored in liquid nitrogen tanks. Who will the firemen attempt to save?” The reality is that hundreds of thousands of oocytes are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks that will eventually have to be destroyed if they aren’t used in stem cell research.

Cloned Beings Bring Hazards

Of further concern is the forecast that human beings will be born out of advances of this technology. Several years ago we heard tales of visionaries claiming success within the year with a “cloned baby boy.” No doubt this will be attempted with the likelihood of greater success than cold fusion. If this happens it may be of tragic consequences for the cloned beings who develop genetic errors during the cloning process. Notwithstanding this naïve use of stem cells, potential benefits of therapeutic cloning for the afflicted cannot be ignored.

Stemagen scientists state that they have no interest or intent to place these cloned embryos into a woman’s uterus. One wonders how many women would have to be housed to incubate these fertilized eggs to achieve one successful pregnancy. An estimate of at least 300 was floated during the discussion of the fire at the IVF clinic. By contrast about five fusions of somatic nuclei with an enucleated egg (in a petri dish) would generate a therapeutic quantity of stem cells for any individual, according to Stemagen’s finding.

Primary Focus Is on Therapeutic Medicine

Consequently, the goal of Stemagen and many other researchers in this field is to use these autologous stem cells therapeutically by implanting them back into patients to attempt the repair of damaged tissues. No doubt universal acceptance of this medical treatment will take years, and will only come with evidence of success, like in vitro fertilization in the 1970s and recombinant DNA in the 1980s.

There are currently millions of people who could benefit from either direct implantation of autologous stem cells or from the spin-off discoveries of stem cell research. Therefore, I say let’s move forward.
