Adult Stem Cells – An Update from Suzanne Somers

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

Suzanne Somers appeared on “Piers Morgan Tonight” for an endearing and engaging primetime exclusive.

Well-known for her television roles as Chrissy Snow on “Three’s Company” and Carol Lambert on “Step by Step,” Somers opened up about her recent bout with breast cancer, detailing her choice to fore-go radiation in favor of alternative treatment:

“They took the fat from my stomach – boo hoo – and, this is in lay speak, in a sophisticated technology like a centrifuge, whipped it around at supersonic speed, and extracted my stem cells, separated them, cleaned them, discarded the weak ones, took the strong stem cells in a small amount of that fat, made it rich with my stem cells and then, again, for lack of a better term, took a turkey baster and injected into this breast, and poof! Wow!”

The face – and legs – behind the infamous infomercials for Thighmaster, Somers told Piers Morgan that her type of surgery may be the first step in tremendous medical progress:

“It is the blood vessels and the nerve growing,” said the 65-year-old Somers. “To me, the ramifications of what this can mean for the future uses of stem cells, I think of our enlisted people and we’re not that far away from being able to regrow limbs. I hope this just opens the door a little bit.”

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as the author of the new book “Bombshell: Explosive Medical Secrets That Will Define Aging” shared specific details about how she feels today.

Positive Thoughts, Fewer Strokes

One more reason to keep your glass half full: Optimists might be less likely to have a stroke.

In new research, the more people believed good things would happen, the less likely they were to suffer a stroke within two years.  Psychology researchers examined 6,044 stroke-free adults who said how much they agreed with statements like “In uncertain times, I usually expect the best.”

Two years later, the researchers tracked which participants had suffered a stroke.  They found the more optimistic the person, the lower the odds of a stroke:  On an optimism scale of 3 to 18, each point increase in optimism was associated with an approximate 10% decrease in the likelihood of a stroke.

When the researchers took into consideration a host of other variables related to out-look on life, anxiety, cynical hostility, depression, negative affect, neuroticism and pessimism – a smaller but still significant association between optimism and stroke remained.  The results were published on-line Thursday in the journal Stroke.
