Benefits of your own Adult Stem Cells over externally derived Embryonic Stem Cells


Adult stem cells are most abundantly found in bone marrow, and are sometimes referred to as bone marrow stem cells. A healthy body continuously produces these adult stem cells, which then circulate through the blood stream and function to replace dysfunctional cells, thus fulfilling the natural process of maintaining optimal health.
You may have heard about news reports of "embryonic stem cells" being taken from an unborn human fetus, but here we are talking about adult stem cells which are produced in your own body. Because they are your own body cells containing your own DNA, your immune system does not identify them as  foreign bodies and then attack and destroy them.
Thus adult stem cells are not affected by the "rejection" problem which often occurs when embryonic stem cells from outside sources have been unsuccessfully transplanted. And the ethical or religious issues associated with harvesting embryonic stem cells from a human fetus are simply not relevant to adult stem cells, because they are naturally created within your own body. 
Cost wise, Stem Cell Nutrition is very much more affordable than injections of embryonic stem cells.
