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.”

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.
This astounding video shows the effectiveness of the spray-on adult stem cell technique.
Dr. Gerlach’s team has been instrumental in developing the technique of using sprayed suspensions of adult stem cells to treat surface wounds and burns.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (KGO) — Cosmetic surgeons are now using regenerative stem cells to treat the bags that develop under your eyes. The goal is to produce longer lasting results.
Doctors have been using fat for decades to help fill in hollowness under the eyes. But Beverly Hills dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, Nathan Newman, is adding something to the normal fat transfer process: adult stem cells.
“The stem cells is what brings in the new blood vessels, rebuilds structures, maintains volume by replacing the fat cells that die off,” said Newman.
Thirty-three-year-old Rachel Aharon is an avid surfer who has spent years in the sun.
“I look at my face in the mirror and I see that my face is so tired and old,” said Aharon.
Common treatments include artificial dermal fillers, but Dr. Newman believes the stem cell technique can produce longer lasting results. First the stem cells are separated from the fat, cultured, then re-injected after the transfer in greater numbers.
“There’s actually no downside to using your own stem cells because, it’s yours, it’s natural, you don’t get rejection you don’t need to go under general anesthesia. It’s what was there, that’s been lost that we’re replacing. And will incorporate into the tissues and become part of the tissues,” said Newman.
Critics of the technique say there is no FDA approved way to inject stem cells and no evidence of its effectiveness in cosmetic procedures. Dermatologists point out that fat transfers can also cause lumps over time. Still, Aharon was satisfied with the initial results.
“This is me, this is my smile, this is my skin. It’s not fake,” said Aharon
Although it’s cheaper than cosmetic surgery, the cost for the stem cell fat injections run about $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the areas you’re treating.
They are scientifically proven, completely safe and very affordable.
Medical experts and scientists have pioneered the way for many years to get to this point – where anyone of us can take a “natural” stem cell supplement that will stimulate healthy stem cells from our bone marrow to assist with the repair and renewal of the body and help prevent the aging process.
Renew your body naturally and achieve optimal health by increasing the amount of stem cells in your blood stream. Watch this video to learn why people are banking their own adult stem cells.
