Stem cells are killing us

How Stem Cells Cause Heart Attacks

A breakthrough study from the University of California,
Berkeley, shows that the first stage of events leading to a heart
attack is the growth of a particular type of stem cell in arteries
(Nature, June 6, 2012). Stem cells can form muscle, nerve,
cartilage, bone or fat cells. Stem cells' ability to become
cartilage or bone explains why plaques make arteries hard and
brittle, like bone. Doctors used to think that smooth muscle
cells lining blood vessels were the first stage of arteriosclerosis.
Now we know that the smooth muscle cells come from these stem cells.
A few of these rare stem cells are always in arteries.
For some unknown reason (possibly inflammation), they start to
grow and form cracks and ulcers in the artery. Then a plaque
forms on the inner lining of the artery.
A heart attack occurs when a piece of plaque breaks off
from the inner lining of an artery leading toward the heart and
travels down the ever-narrowing artery until it can go no further.
Then a clot forms to completely block the flow of blood to the
part of the heart muscle it supplies. The part of the heart
muscle unable to get the oxygen it needs from the blood flow,
suffers from lack of oxygen and dies.
Today's treatments for heart attack victims are not very
successful because they do not treat the cause. Statins lower
cholesterol that causes plaque buildup, and stents widen blood
vessels, but neither treats the earlier stages when stem cells
damage arteries to form plaques. Researchers need to find drugs
that stop the growth of these stem cells or to prevent the stem
cells from turning into smooth muscle cells.
STEM CELLS ALSO CAUSE CANCERS: Tumor stem cells are
damaged stem cells and are the only cells that can give rise to
new tumors and keep tumors growing. Current treatments using
large doses of chemotherapy or radiation can kill all tumor cells.
The problem is that they kill the whole tumor and destroy normal
cells as well. If a treatment for cancer would kill only the rare
tumor stem cells, it could cure the cancer and spare the cells
(Cancer Cell, May 20008).
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? Since we do not yet have any
treatments aimed specifically at the rare stem cells that start
plaques forming in arteries to cause heart attacks, and keep
cancers growing, you should try to change lifestyle factors that
are associated with increased risk for heart attacks and cancers.
The same lifestyle factors that are associated with increased risk
for heart attacks and strokes are also associated with increased
risk for cancers.
*being overweight
*not exercising
*smoking
*taking more than two alcoholic drinks per day
*not eating lots of different fruits and vegetables
*eating red meat
*eating fried foods (burnt fats)
*having blood levels of hydroxy vitamin D below 75 nmol/L (30 ng/ml)

THE SINATRA REPORT - NanobacTX: Major Breakthrough in Arterial Health

"Like every cardiologist on the planet, I used to think oxidized LDL
cholesterol created the plaque that caused atherosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries). Trouble was, there were many cases of cardiovascular
disease that this theory couldn’t account for. Oxidized LDL may be
part of the story, but it’s not the full explanation. The exciting
news is that nanobacteria may well be. Nanobacteria, formally known as
Nanobacterium sanguineum, are so minute that they eluded researchers
for decades. They’re 1/1,000 the size of normal bacteria, and until
recently, nobody believed that something so small could even be alive.
It turns out that nanobacteria are not only very much alive but
thriving, and they are damaging our health in more ways than we could
have ever dreamed. As you know, a mission of mine has been to try to
explain how and why heart disease occurs in people who don’t exhibit
the traditional risk factors. If we can hit upon the cause, then we
can help prevent thousands of unexplained deaths each year. There have
been numerous hypotheses, but so many never pan out. When I first
heard about nanobacteria, I was skeptical, too. But I have looked into
the subject at length and talked with physicians involved, and now I’m
convinced that the study of nanobacteria will bring about a whole new
understanding of a number of diseases. This kind of understanding is
what leads to treatments and eventually cures.
Nanobiotech Pharma has been conducting research with NanobacTX, a
special therapy that has been instrumental in nanobacteria killing and
along with that, plaque reversal. Nanobiotech’s researchers have
performed a pilot study of 91 patients using NanobacTX for three
months: Of the 91 participating patients, the mean decrease in their
coronary artery calcification scores was 58.5% after treatment with
NanobacTX therapy for three months. Interestingly, in 19 of those 91
patients 100 percent of coronary artery calcification was eradicated.
These are truly amazing statistics! I know of no other treatment that
is so successful. Nanobiotech is now conducting a much larger study of
plaque reversal, and some of my patients are participating. A minimum
of four months of NanobacTX treatment is necessary to treat many folks
with coronary artery calcification. For those whose heart plaque
burden is excessive, nine to twelve months (or more) of therapy may be
needed. From the cardiologists reporting back so far, most patients
start seeing a marked improvement in quality of life in four to six
weeks. It is also interesting to note that many patients have reported
the resolution of co-existing illnesses. ~ Stephen Sinatra, MD, FACC -
Cardiologist

#2~~ James C. Roberts, MD, FACC -Cardiologist that has treated over
350 patients with NanobacTX: "I am seeing symptomatic improvement,
often striking, in the vast majority of the symptomatic patients who I
have treated with NanobacTX. This improvement is occurring in
patients with new onset coronary symptoms, and in patients who are
"too far gone" for any other standard or alternative therapies. With
NanobacTX, We typically see, and now EXPECT to see, a:

© Decrease or resolution of angina, even in patients with closed
bypass grafts or restenosis following angioplasty or stent

© Reduction in the HeartScan (UltraFast CT) coronary artery calcium
score

© Increased exercise capacity, mirrored by improved stress EKG and
stress echo findings

© HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) usually rises by 5-10 points;
LDL cholesterol falls.

© Cardiac CRP, a marker of vascular wall inflammation, often falls

© Peripheral and cerebral blood flow improves; bruits (whistles over
the arteries that signify a narrowing) often resolve and non-invasive
blood flow studies have improved

© Abnormal heart pumping function and filling characteristics improve

© Elevated blood pressure often falls and medication requirements
decrease

#3~~"I have been on NanobacTX program for 2 months. I have much more
pep, don't feel tired all the time. I used to use nitro-glycerin quite
frequently to keep me going. Now I hardly use it at all. I don't have
the pounding in my right ear that I formerly did. I also received the
added bonus of my neck loosening up. That was such a nice surprise!
After many years of pain and visits to chiropractors, I am delighted
to find my neck more flexible. The NanobacTX evidently dissolved the
calcium deposits, which I had no idea were there. Another thing I
noticed is that I no longer have to sleep with my head elevated.
Sometimes at night I have to listen for my heartbeat-whereas before-it
was boom, boom, boom. Not bad for someone who was once told they
wouldn't be alive for their next birthday unless a quadruple bypass
was done!" -Richard F. (Minister & Attorney)

#4~~"I received my UROBAC (FOR CHRONIC PROSTATITIS & BPH) from my
Urologist at Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Daniel Shoskes. I have been taking
the UROBAC for about ten days now. I feel a big improvement already!
My nightly trip to the bathroom is down from 3-4 to 1 and some nights
NONE! Also my heart rate is lower at my regular exercise level, I had
to increase the resistance on my Life-Cycle exercise bike one level
higher to reach my target heart rate. I feel fantastic!" -Laszlo P.
(attorney)

#5~~"My first HeartScan on scan June 29th showed a total Coronary
Artery Calcification (CAC) score of 2,149 which is an abnormal level
and a dangerously high score that says I'm at high-risk for a heart
attack or stroke. After taking the NanobacTX therapy for about 47
weeks my CAC score decreased to 548.8! My physical well-being has
improved and I am now feeling more energetic during work and exercise.
Equally important, I am feeling better emotionally, knowing that my
CAC had dropped from abnormal/severe to a more moderate-risk. I
believe that had the NanobacTX therapy existed in 1988, I may have
avoided my quadruple by-pass surgery." -George K.

#6~~"I just wanted you to know the success my father enjoyed, having
completed his fourth month of the NanobacTX. Prior to his treatment,
he had a HeartScan calcium score of 343 performed on the CT scanner.
He was suffering from intermittent angina and was on the multiple
cardiac meds. His history included severe CAD which led to a 4 way
bypass surgery in 1990, closing of one or more of the grafts within a
couple of years, followed by 4 MI's the last of which was 11/18/2000,
which was also followed by a type of angioplasty of only one of the
grafts and he was then told, essentially, nothing more could be done.
We treated him with the NanobacTX and the follow up score was a very
encouraging 26 calcium score. Again he is angina free and had his
cardiac meds reduced by approximately 2/3rds. He has tremendous more
energy (which helps him keep up with his 56 year-old wife) and in my
medical opinion, looks 10 years younger." -M.K. (PHYSICIAN)

#7~~"The NanobacTX treatment is outstanding. Once I learned about and
researched the program, I no longer use other therapies on my
patients. Obviously the convenience for the patient & effectiveness of
the treatment all made the NanobacTX treatment program the clear
choice for me to utilize. Not only did I use it on most of my
patients, but my wife and I use it personally as well."-A.K.
(PHYSICIAN)

#8~~"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for NanobacTX. I
only wish that more of the mainstream medical community would open
their eyes and make this treatment available to their patients. I hope
this letter might be useful in fulfilling that wish. First a little
history is in order: In November 2001, while visiting San Francisco, I
woke up one morning with atrial fibrillation and ended up at the
hospital. It was attributed to the allergy medication I was taking
which contained a decongestant. The fibrillation resolved itself in a
couple of days without intervention but certainly was an alarming
experience. Six months later a second episode occurred, this time
without the medication. AFter another short stay in the hospital, the
condition resolved itself and I was released. An ultrasound was done
which showed no abnormalities along with an EKG when I returned to
normal rhythm. No conclusive cause was given for the episode. When I
returned home, I contacted Millennium Scan in Washington DC and made
an appointment to have a multislice whole body CT scan. As part of
the scan, they performed coronary artery calcification scoring. My
total HeartScan score was 1155.9. I was told that this is very high
and put me at high-risk for myocardial infarction. I immediately
started researching information on the internet related to my
condition and found information regarding therapy. This seemed to be
promising option, however when I suggested this to my cardiologist, it
was dismissed as wishful thinking. I was determined to look into this
alternative however, and contacted The Atkins Center in New York where
I became a center patient. Dr. Robert Atkins, the cardiologist (Yes,
The Atkins Diet Guy) told me about NanobacTX and ordered the
NanobacTest. The test concluded that I had active nanobacteria in my
system. I started on the NanobacTX protocol and continued the
treatment for four months as suggested. After only 4 months of
NanobacTX, I had a repeat HeartScan and my results were quite
striking. My score dropped to 229.6. This represents a drop of 926.3
points in calcification in a four month period! I believe these
results leave little doubt to the effectiveness of NanobacTX in
treating Coronary Artery Disease." -G.T.

#9~~"I am thankful for having been introduced to NanobacTX. For sure,
I would be having catheterization by now for possible bypass surgery
as I did have considerable angina three months ago. I am finding me
energy has returned and I now rarely have the angina problem." -A.C.

#10~~"On March 13th I had my first HeartScan, results 3,555.06. In
August my physician suggested the NanobacTX treatment. After 3 1/2
months of treatment had a second Heart Scan, results 1,440.4.
Incredible and I am very grateful. Became aware that my energy level
had increased, feeling better, also taking more interest in doing
things, gardening, home, etc. My friends are telling me I'm looking
better. Still on the NanobacTX treatment and anxious to receive my
next Heart Scan results. My heartfelt thanks to Gary Mezo." -Kay T.

#11~~"After only 5 days I noticed the difference! In one month my
exercise tolerance increased geometrically. On continuing the
NanobacTX treatment my peripheral neuropathy continued to regress and
my cardiac arrythmia has totally resolved." -A.S. (PHYSICIAN)

#12~~"Thank you for taking care of my order for RegenureEyes. (I have
AMD Macular Degeneration) I was able to read a novel this weekend in
two days without the eye pain. I have so missed being able to read for
pleasure. Usually by the time I have finished reading and posting all
the press releases for work every day, I have to just lay down and
close my eyes from the strain. I am now able to do the work, plus
read for pleasure again. So thank you and I will stay with the program
for at least 6 months before dropping down to maintenence level as I
want to be sure that all the arteries are also clear. This is my third
order, so I am halfway there. Wishing you continued success, " -

Looks to me like all those testimonials are from the same company they are for. I've found such situations rather poor sources for reliable information, since the company can easily filter out all reports saying that the treatment didn't work well.
