AIO Press Release In Beverly Hills Times Magazine

AIO Premium Cellular Health

July 2, 2009 by Beverly Hills Times Magazine

AIO Premium Cellular Health is the latest innovative medical discovery to promote wellness on a cellular level, with a nutritional supplement to optimize stem cell function. Meet Dr. Robin Smith, Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem, Inc. Smith also serves on the Board of Trustees of NYU Medical Center and is Chairman of the Board of Directors for the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases where she heads up new development programs.
AIO Premium Cellular Health was developed by Ceres Living, Inc., in conjunction with a leading nutritional laboratory. This all-in-one supplement helps to fight oxidative stress, and also helps to optimize stem cell functions. NeoStem is focused on licensing technology related to Stem Cell therapies. The first licensed was from the University of Louisville, Dr. Mariusz Ratajczak, M.D., Ph.D. Director of the Stern Cell Biology Program who made the ground- breaking discovery that bone marrow contains a rare population of pluripotent stem cells that are mobilized into the periphery blood during stress and/or at the time of injury. These pluripotent stem cells go a long way to assist in the repair of damaged tissue.
NeoStem just signed an agreement to promote this product of which a priority is to support the Stem for Life Foundation—dedicated to heightening public awareness to using adult stem cells to treat serious medical conditions in regenerative medicine. This greatly benefits first responders such as firefighters, soldiers, police and chronically ill patients in need of the service, but unable to pay for it. NeoStem is focused on those at the highest risk for fire and burn injuries, and other accidents.
ST: Why is stem cell treatment and supplements important for our bodies?
RS: People spend so much time focused on things affecting their appearance. We wash our face, brush our teeth, get hair color, diet, but what do we do on a daily basis to protect our insides. People wait until it’s too late, or have a health scare to get proactive when it comes to regenerating their health from the inside out. If there was a single solution to better health, would you take it? If the answer is ‘YES’…you should supplement your diet with a blend of ingredients designed to better your daily health.

AIO Is Made With Vital Ingredients
• Delivers powerful antioxidants.
• Supports and optimizes stem cell function.
• Supports heart, adrenal and cardio- vascular function.
• Boosts the immune system.
• Supports joint and bone health.
• Nourishes cells for longevity.
In addition to AIO supplements, Ceres Living, Inc., is generating public interest in stem cell collection. NeoStem is the first company to provide adult stem cell collection and long-term storage to the general public. NeoStem’s medically proven process is safe and minimally invasive, collecting your own stem cells for your future use. The process reduces risks of complications associated with rejection or transmission of disease from donor cells, if you ever need them. Once collected, the cells are processed, separating the desired cells. They are placed in storage containers, cooled and placed in a liquid nitrogen tank at a select processing and storage laboratory facility and safely stored for your future use.
ST: …the future of health maintenance?
RS: It would be great if like Prometheus we could repair our damaged organs? As humans evolved the ability to regenerate tissue was lost. Unlike a starfish we can’t cut off a hand and have it grow back. But, as medical technology advances we can repair damaged tissue; like repair a heart muscle damaged from a heart attack. The key is to live longer—be functional, be able to really live—not just be alive.
Dennis Rodgerson, Ph.D., NeoStem’s Director of Stem Cell Science stated, “Stimulating healthy growth of stem cells is a critical component of every anti- aging program, and there are natural ingredients to support stem cell health. Research shows that specific nutrients and hormones encourage the growth or proliferation of stem cells in one’s body, promoting regeneration and healing. AIO and its innovative formula is an important supplement to age management.”

NeoStem research suggests that the best time to collect your own adult Stem Cells for your own future use is when you are healthy and your cells are strong and viable! The NeoStem team is dedicated to instilling in clients the importance of looking beyond “right now” by emphasizing the benefits of being proactive in one’s own future health care. Taking an active part in the future of your own health gives you the option of medical advances that will be available tomorrow….advances that could one day possibly save your life.

ANTI-AGING ADVANCEMENTS NEW BOTOX WARNINGS

With the recent black box warning now mandatory on the Botox label, people concerned about the future of their health should look for alternative ways to rejuvenate their skin. Why not use your own healthy stem cells for this purpose? Have your cells collected today at any of NeoStem’s licensed collection centers located on the West Coast in San Diego, Santa Monica and Malibu, California; and on the East Coast in Manhattan, Long Island, New York, New Jersey; and Coral Gables, Florida. Louisville, Kentucky center will be available to clients in the near future. The NeoSkin Medical Advisory Board is headed by its Chief Medical Advisor, Ron Rothenberg,M.D.

ST: At what age should a person start thinking about health and regeneration of their stem cells?

RR: The best time to collect your stem cells is when you’re young and healthy. Stem cells, like other cells of the body, undergo cellular changes with the passage of time. DNA point mutations, altered cellular function, and decreases in spindle apparatus length are a few of the changes that stem cells can undergo with age. These changes, as expected, carry the potential of diminishing the effectiveness of an individual’s stem cells. While there is no data to suggest an optimal or upper limit age to collect and store one’s own stem cells, stem cells collected when you are younger, function better than stem cells collected later in life.

New Technologies at NeoStem

Dr. Mariusz Ratajczak, M.D., Ph.D. Director of the Stem Cell Biology Program at the University of Louisville: “Very small embryonic-like stem cells” or VSELs express a multitude of pluripotent stem cell markers and are enriched in expression of genes found in skeletal muscles, heart, neural cells, liver, intestinal epithelium, skin epithelium and endocrine pancreas. VSELs demonstrate many embryonic stem cell-like characteristics, including the capacity to form in vitro spheres resembling embryoid bodies which express the placental form of alkaline phosphatase and other genes involved in early gastrulation. Their extensive pluripotency has been confirmed by demonstrating the ability of VSELs to differentiate into all three germ-layer lineages, ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. Most recently, VSELs have been shown to assist in cardiac repair after myocardial infarction.”

The most recent technology NeoStem licensed was developed by Vincent C. Giampapa, M.D., F.A.C.S., a Board-certified plastic/reconstructive surgeon and Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Giampapa, one of the first certified anti-aging medical physicians in the world, is Director of the Plastic Surgery Center International and The Giampapa Institute for Anti-Aging Medical Therapy.

”These innovative stem cell skin rejuvenation procedures enhances NeoStem’s leadership in the anti-aging and regenerative medicine arena. This has long been one of our core pursuits. Our earliest stem cell collection center is focused on treatments for physical aging. In January 2009, Dr. Giampapa presented and demonstrated some of his skin rejuvenation techniques using autologous adult stem cells at the 2009 International Stem Cell Technology and Applications Summit in Qingdao, China. The exciting part; it’s natural, not synthetic. It helps your skin rejuvenate itself.”

ST: How long can cells be stored ?

RS: NeoStem collects only the adult autologous stem cells. Your cells are for your use ONLY! Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can renew themselves and can differentiate to yield the major cell types of a tissue or organ. The primary role of adult stem cells is to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found. Cells that are properly cryopreserved can be stored for very long periods of time and should be active and healthy when you are ready to use them. In fact, they probably last longer than the life expectancy of the donor.
