Stem Cell Nutrition: A New Paradigm in Health and Wellness
by Jeannette McLaughlin

While debate over embryonic stem cell research continues, scientists have made astounding discoveries about adult stem cells. Found in an organism after birth, primarily in the bone marrow, adult stem cells are the body’s master cells. Stem cells released by the bone marrow are responsible for the constant renewal of red blood cells and lymphocytes (immune cells). The body produces millions of stem cells every day; however, due to factors such as daily exposure to environmental toxins, physical and mental stress, poor diet, as well as the aging process, the number and quality of circulating stem cells gradually decrease.

This birthday surprise detailed how Rank thought that difficulty during birth could affect the psyche of the person being born in such a way that it would affect them the rest of their lives. While first warmly received by Freud, it was rejected and the relationship between teacher and student was forever affected. Since then, this pattern of considering that babies have experiences that have lifelong implications has taken similar course in the world. A small cohort of practitioners took on the belief that yes, these early experiences do influence behaviour for a lifetime while the medical, scientific, and popular communities ignored, disengaged, or even repudiated this idea.

by Catherine Milos

Hopeless, overwhelmed, part of a minority. You have probably felt like this at one point or another when looking for anything from holistic services to organic food and clothes.
