New source of heart stem cells found: study
Sun Jun 22, 1:13 PM ET



PARIS (AFP) - Researchers in the United States have discovered a new
group of stem cells that can give rise to heart muscle cells, known
as cardiomyocytes, according to a study published Sunday.

The stem cells are located in the outermost layer of the heart and
could one day play a critical role in regenerating injured heart
tissue, the researchers say.

"In heart failure, you lose cardiomyocytes, so the only way to
reverse heart failure is to make more of these cells," said William
Pu, the study's lead researcher and a pediatric cardiologist at
Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.

The new findings come on the heels of two earlier breakthroughs.

In 2006 scientists identified another cardiac stem cell -- marked by
the expression of a gene called Nkx2-5 -- with the potential to
become either heart muscle or cells lining blood vessels in the
organ's left-sided chambers.

Gene expression is the process by which information encoded in the
DNA of a particular gene is transformed into a protein or RNA, which
plays a key role in protein synthesis.

In parallel, other US researchers discovered a related progenitor
heart cell -- so-called because of its capacity to generate different
types of tissue -- that produces the same cell types in the right-
sided heart chambers.

Pu's study, published online in the journal Nature, shows for the
first time that new heart stem cells can also be derived from a third
type of cardiac stell cell, located within the surface of the organ
and identifiable through its expression of a gene called Wt1.

The results were independently verified by another team of scientists
at the University of California in San Diego, whose research was
published in the same issue of Nature.

Pu and colleagues showed that the cells from the heart's outer
lining, called the epicardium, can not only metamorphose into
cardiomyocytes but also into smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells,
which line the interior of blood vessels, and fibroblasts, found in
connective tissue.

"If you are going to regenerate tissue, you need to regenerate the
whole tissue, not just the cardiomyocytes," Pu said in a statement.

The discovery of the new stem cells was an accident. In order to
study the role a different gene in the epicardium, the researchers
labeled cells in live mouse embryos with red fluorescent protein.

"Unexpectedly, we saw that these epicardial cells were becoming
cardiomycytes -- it was a lucky observation," said Pu.

The next challenge, he added, is trying to figure out how a
progenitor stem cell decides to become a certain type of functioning
cell within the heart, and then how to develop methods to trick the
stem cells into transforming into the desired tissue.

"We still don't know how we can manipulate these progenitors," he
said.

Comedian George Carlin dies of heart failure in Los Angeles at 71

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture
hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of
heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman
said. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's
Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after
being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman
Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as
an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of
drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not
say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of
his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

SW Florida has lost a great healing place this week which has saved
many lives. Sunshine State Prevention is closing it's doors.

The practice could be made available to a qualified and interested
Doctor. GREAT Nurse and Nurses Assistant are built in. MANY patients .

Principals only.

Interesting information, thank you Robin. I would have liked to hear
more about how this affects the blockages in our arteries, hearts, etc,
over what period of time, etc etc etc. This seemed a very broad based

Hey, Tom. 

 

I read the forum when I see a post.

 

The I-95 corridor above and below West Palm used to be loaded with chelation therapists.  The best first place to look would be the A.C.A.M. website, www.acam.org or .net, etc.  The problem with them had to do with their exclusionary policy of only referring to doctors who jumped through the hoop to become Diplomates.  There used to be a host of doctors who learned and practiced chelation therapy according to their teachings that were very good but chose not to jump through that hoop.  It is the best place to start, though.

 

Moving?

Hi All,

Just popped in here. I had a chelation session at Dr Coy's place a
few days ago. Still going about once a month for maintenence. I just
clicked on the post below and wow, I'm still walking but man am I
moving in comparison to 3/27/2006 and I was really doing good then!

Did 2 miles on the treadmill tonight at a level 3 incline.
2.001 miles
34.19 minutes
223 calories
27.8 carbs
#3 elevation
3.5 MPH Speed

That's in comparison to 2 miles on 3/26/06 at 47 Minutes on flat, non
elevated surface. Wow!

Now I've done better than the above and have breached 4MPH at the
same incline. But I haven't been consistent with that. Business has
been very business with the dollar continuing it's implosion and gold
going nuts. Both my Wife and I also started getting into the Ron Paul
for President campaign till it became obvious that the media has
decided on more warfare and welfare, taxes, borrowing and spending
with the other lowlife candidates.

So I started playing hooky from my aggressive walking. Not completely
but nowhere near the consistent levels I was doing. I'm going to
start doing more again though.

I'm living proof of how the change in diet, quitting smoking ( quit
on January 15th or so 2005), intravenous chelation therapy,
agggressive exercise and walking, along with some other changes can
work to vastly improve the quality of life.

Remember and I don't know if I mentioned it here but, the
cardiologist DID say that my open heart surgery was most likely a
failure. So, the above is not bad for a "failure" eh? Ha!

How y'all been doing?

EDTA chelation therapy and strokes:  strokes are caused when tissue suddenly loses its blood supply and suffers or succumbs to oxygen deprivation.  Causes are related to hemorrhages (ruptured blood vessels), blockage from a blood clot somewhere upstream, or blockage from a piece of plaque that broke off upstream and lodged in the way.  Depending upon the size of the area damaged, the result will be any where from a small area of malfunction, to more widespread areas or even death.  The length of time the area is blocked also is important for recovery or lack thereof.

 

Treatment of strokes with chelation is shutting the barn door after a horse got out.  It may improve chances of fewer and fewer horses getting out in the future, or it may entice a few horses to return with improved blood flow downstream.  PREVENTION of strokes with EDTA chelation therapy is a horse of a different color, so to speak.  It is understood that chelated patients get less strokes, or get strokes less often than non-chelated patients.  Three dimensional plaque is rough surfaced and contributes to turbulence in the blood vessels which creates dynamics in blood flow that are conducive to clot formation.  Reducing the roughness of the plaque reduces the turbulence and therefore reduces the formation of blood clots which lead to strokes.

 

HOWEVER, THE BEST TREATMENT FOR STROKES ONE WEEK TO TWENTY YEARS AFTER THEY OCCUR IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY!!!!!

 

There's a little more about this stroke thing, especially as it is related to carotid artery evaluation and surgery.  If you have ever had a carotid angiogram, which surgeons use to determine candidates for endarterectomy (cleaning out the plaque in the artery), you may recall the reporting of plaque amounts:  "less than 50%", or "50% to 70% blockage," or "70% to 90% blocked," or "95%," or even "100% blocked."  Each of those very widespread guesses is used to categorize whether you are not a candidate for surgery, whether you are not YET a candidate for surgery, whether you are a candidate for urgent surgery, or whether you just better go home and wait for the other carotid artery to become 100% blocked.  With the statistics of surgically induced strokes not very favorable, it makes an awful lot of sense to do chelation therapy instead of surgery in almost all cases.  Again, the flow dynamics favors better plaque removal from larger arteries, and experience does show carotids clear faster than arteries to the heart or to the lower legs.

 

Any questions?

That's an interesting question, Tedd.  Not everyone knows of a blood-brain barrier; but a common question is, "Does chelation therapy help dementia, or Azheimer's Disease?"

 

Plaque is formed in the arteries of various sizes, not in capillaries which interface with brain tissue.  Therefore, EDTA and other chelating agents, like DMPS (primarily for mercury), do not work by crossing into cellular tissue to bind with metals, then bring them back out of cells.  They bind with available metals and minerals within the blood vessels, clear them through the kidneys and therefore cleanse the arteries.

 

Is the mechanism as we have long thought:  to bind with calcium and molecule by molecule remove excess plaque from the artery walls?  Or does the mechanism have more to do with the decrease in inflammation caused by heavy metals which allows damaged and inflamed arteries to heal and lessen their need for plaque?

 

Whatever the mechanism, if dementia has gone on for too long or is advanced, then reversal has been predictably nonexistent.  However, earlier stages seem to clear or at least stabilize with EDTA chelation therapy.

Link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/02/AR2007040201066.html

Animals given high levels of vitamin K showed a 37 percent reduction
in calcium buildup in their arteries, a new study finds.

Arterial calcification is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease, researchers noted.

The Dutch study, by researchers at Maastricht University, is the first
in animals to show that arterial calcification and resulting decreased
arterial elasticity can be reversed by consuming high levels of
vitamin K. The findings support the results of a Rotterdam population-
based study published in 2004.

This research into the benefits of high vitamin K intake may prove
especially important for people taking blood thinning medications,
such as warfarin, which are known to cause rapid calcification in the
arteries. Many patients taking blood thinners aren't aware of this
risk, the researchers said.

Vitamin K is found in many kinds of foods, including soybean, olive
and canola oils, and dark green vegetables such as broccoli, kale,
spinach and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin K is also available in
supplements.

The study was funded by Maastricht University and is published in the
April 1 issue of the journal Blood.

Dr[s.]Charles Mary Jr and III had/have a radio show. He is the worlds expert on chelation therapy! http://www.maryclinic.com/  Hope this helps. I remain new lesion, exacerbation free for 9 years and my former lesion remains fully re-myelinated!

I'm new to this board. I have had two heart attacks, and two open heart
surgeries, and now I'm dealing with congestive heart failure with a
defibrillator. I have two blocked arteries that they don't seem too
concerned with, but I would like to see if chelation can get rid of
them. I have two cardiologists and I'm not impressed with either one of
them. I think all of their medications are a lot like chemo is for
cancer. They don't really cure anything.

The oobagah is from a kids video game, and this is my wife's user name
on the yahoo boards. Three of us are now using this name, and we have
another grown child living at home who uses this computer with a

Is anyone taking part in the study being done by the National

placebo bit. I think if the placebo can get rid of arterial plaque then
let it. They can surely tell if the chelation is working or not. If
you're interested check it out at www.nccam.nih.gov/chelation.

I'm new to this board. I have had two heart attacks, and two open heart
surgeries, and now I'm dealing with congestive heart failure with a
defibrillator. I have two blocked arteries that they don't seem too
concerned with, but I would like to see if chelation can get rid of
them. I have two cardiologists and I'm not impressed with either one of
them. I think all of their medications are a lot like chemo is for
cancer. They don't really cure anything.

The oobagah is from a kids video game, and this is my wife's user name
on the yahoo boards. Three of us are now using this name, and we have
another grown child living at home who uses this computer with a
different email address.

Is anyone taking part in the study being done by the National
Institutes of Health? What I don't like about these studies is the
placebo bit. I think if the placebo can get rid of arterial plaque then
let it. They can surely tell if the chelation is working or not. If
you're interested check it out at www.nccam.nih.gov/chelation.

who I saw sort of walking the other day, very slowly, arm seemed
frozen by his side. I never knew his name, he lives with his Wife and
kids about 4 houses down from us. I stopped and spoke with him and he
showed me the scar from surgery on his BOTH carotids. He had a stroke.
I referred him to Dr Coy in Punta Gorda. Told him of my progress in
walking, etc etc etc.
