– “‘Grow your own’ stem cells a game changer, say scientists”
“In experiments that could open a new era in stem cell biology, scientists have found a simple way to reprogram mature animal cells back into an embryonic-like state that allows them to generate many types of tissue.”

“Chris Mason, chair of regenerative medicine bioprocessing at University College London, who was not involved in the work, said its approach in mice was “the most simple, lowest-cost and quickest method” to generate so-called pluripotent cells – able to develop into many different cell types – from mature cells.

‘If it works in man, this could be the game changer that ultimately makes a wide range of cell therapies available using the patient’s own cells as starting material – the age of personalised medicine would have finally arrived,’ he said.

The experiments, reported in two papers in the journal Nature, involved scientists from the RIKEN Centre for Developmental Biology in Japan and Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in the United States,” quoting Kate Kelland in the Sydney Morning Herald.

– Continuing studies on regeneration in salamanders and how that is applicable to humans
“Salamanders are the only vertebrates that can regenerate lost body parts as adults. The key to this ability is that limb cells are triggered to dedifferentiate and reinitiate growth and pattern formation. Our strategy is to use axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) to discover the signals that trigger the regeneration response, in the belief that these signals have enormous potential and consequences for human health. Our long term goals are to identify the regeneration-enabling signals in limbs, in order to support progress towards the eventual application of these molecules to the improvement of human repair mechanisms,” quoting David M. Gardiner, Professor, Developmental & Cell Biology,
School of Biological Sciences at University of California – Irvine.

– Ramtha on stem cells to regenerate growth
“You can cut off your leg, amputate both of your legs or a heel or a hand or a finger, but the lightbody still has the leg or the finger for a long period of time. That energy is still surrounding the body because, in any cut like that, the body in visible light could influence the physical body to grow a new limb. It holds the shadow limb or the light limb which can stimulate the cells that regenerate growth. In other words, the stem cells in an amputee are there to grow into the leg still held in the lightbody.”

The Legacy Teachings

– Ramtha spoke in 1992 about the potential for a human to regrow a limb
“The human brain does not possess the knowledge to make cells grow an arm back, but what consciousness does possess that? The salamander.
So when the witch brews up a brew and it is made of salamanders and toads and bat wings and snake scales, what would be the symbology of each of those creatures in the brew? That their life force is the elixir that you drink that brings on a consciousness that tells the cells to regrow that arm, and it grows.
Did your mother ever teach you that you could grow an arm back? No one ever taught you that. Are you capable of learning it? Yes, but what would be your ideal? The salamander.”

– Ramtha spoke in 1986 about the potential for a human to regrow a limb
“The body was created to live forever.”

“Your body is prepared to regrow a limb, an organ, to re-create eyesight, to re-create any living portion of its whole self. Every cell that you have, in its genetic structure of its DNA and its chromosome structures, carries with it the print of the whole.”
– Ramtha
