Be Part of HK Stem Cell Research

An evaluation of presently available research data makes it clear that stem cells are the future of medicine and anti-aging. When it will be possible to make person-specific stem cells via standard lab procedures, these stem cells “will roll over literally any disease like the cavalry.”

Imagine for a moment that scientists had worked out all the details for making person-specific stem cells (DNA same as the recipient’s). Do you believe you could go to your neighborhood hospital/clinic and ask them to make you a set of your own stem cells (with your DNA)?  Pay for it and come back a week later to have them administered to you? 

Obviously not! Everybody, from drug companies to regulatory agencies, will try to delay applications and have controls imposed. The reasons are obvious: stem cells will replace literally everything, from drugs to many medical procedures.

So, if a need for stem cells should arise, it would be good to be connected to a stem cell research lab like ours.

For stem cells to be truly effective, and to settle down in the recipient’s body, THE STEM CELLS MUST HAVE THE RECIPIENT’S DNA. This can be done through two processes:
NUCLEAR TRANSFER & PARTHENOGENESIS; parthenogenesis, virgin birth, triggering an egg cell to divide without fertilization, only applies to women who had some of their own egg cells collected and stored in earlier years, before menopause.

For everybody else making individual-specific stem cells involves the procedures performed at a nuclear transfer laboratory (NTL).
How does a nuclear transfer work?

1) The person who needs stem cells because of a major disease - cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, any disease – , or simply for anti-aging or rejuvenation procedures, supplies his DNA in the form of any cells, like skin cells, to the NTL. The nucleus (DNA) is removed from a patient’s skin (or other) cell, and is saved.

2) A human egg cell is prepared for the nuclear (DNA) transfer by removing the nucleus.

3) The previously saved patient’s nucleus (DNA) is transferred into the (denucleated) egg cell.

4) The cell is triggered to start dividing; that’s the point where scientists are still working on to make the procedure efficient. As of today only about one in 30 attempts succeed.

5) If the cell starts dividing, on day # 4, the “blastocyst” stage, stem cells start forming in a section of the blastocyst.

6) The stem cells are removed from the blastocyst and are separately cultivated.

7) The stem cells are administered to the patient; point of application depends on disease. This is a relatively easy procedure.

8) The use of animal egg cells, like bovine egg cells, is another possibility; after all, with the DNA removed, the rest is just like fertile soil. Think of it this way: You can grow corn on crushed Hawaiian volcanic rock, on beach sand, or on any type of soil, as long as water and nutrients are supplied; the result will always be corn. This possibility has recently been evaluated and published in CLONING AND STEM CELLS, Reprogramming of Human Somatic Cells Using Human and Animal Oocytes, Volume 11, No. 2, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., DOI: 10.1089/clo. 2009.

HK Stem Cell Research is owned and operated by Dr. Hans J. Kugler, PhD. Read more about parthenogenesis and stem cell research, and view pictures of the lab, at free eBooks at HK Stem Cell Research.

The value of the entire laboratory, including all equipment and intellectual properties, is $ 1.5 million. A 10% interest was donated to the International Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, a CA 501-C-3 nonprofit educational organization.

The 2-year budget, the cost of operating the laboratory for 2 years - time estimated to being able to make person-specific stem cells – is approximately $800,000.

This includes, full time, 2 PhDs, and 2 BS-level microbiologists/cell biologists.

Total 2-year costs, laboratory plus operating, is 2.3 million.
Up to 40% of HK Stem Cell Research is available to investors. Any and all moneys invested in HK Stem Cell Research will be put back into the laboratory to expand speed of research and capacity.

Feel free to contact Dr. Kugler for more details.
