Nitric Oxide and Stem Cells
Nitric oxide seems to be showing up a fair bit of late in investigations of the biochemistry of stem cells and healing. Digging into the fundament is important - knowing the biochemistry of stem cells means knowing how to control stem cells, and that's the first step on a number of very useful roads. We have this from last month:
... a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body. ... We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release.
Following that, more interesting research in the past few days:
The problem is rooted in the body's response to vascular injury. The bone marrow churns out cells crucial to repairing the damaged lining of blood vessels. But sometimes they fail to report for duty."Part of the defect we think is occurring in diabetic patients is these cells do not carry out appropriate repair, and therefore these patients are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other complications," Segal said.
...
UF researchers isolated these repair cells from blood samples drawn from patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease and studied them in the laboratory. The cells were unable to move about normally. But when nitric oxide gas was added, Segal said, the cells lost their rigidity, becoming suppler, and their ability to move dramatically improved.
In the body, nitric oxide occurs naturally. It helps the repair cells move out of the bone marrow where they are made, and it opens blood vessels and improves the uptake of oxygen. Patients with diabetes, however, commonly have low levels of nitric oxide.
"We went on to show that actually what's happening is nitric oxide is affecting the skeleton, or scaffold of the cell, and by adding nitric oxide we're able to rearrange the scaffold," Segal said. "When we rearrange the scaffold, the cells are able to migrate. The benefit of this is that when cells have improved movement they are able to repair the endothelium (the lining of the blood vessels) better and perhaps prevent atherosclerosis."
Diabetes acts somewhat like accelerated aging in a number of ways, and has been used as a proxy for aging research in the past. Methodologies that offer the possibility of restoring failing stem cells to duty, or enhancing the capabilities of stem cells in the healthy, are intriguing, to say the least.

H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) increase NO in the blood thus in endothelial linings (blood vessal walls)
NO increases progenitor cells CFC colony forming cells & CD34s
which increases stem cell mobilization and increases release from the bone marrow
Thus stem production should be able to be done with nebulizing H2O2 like this...
hydrogen peroxide USP store bought 0.03
Your final solution need to have H202 in the range of % 0.15% (0.75%-1.0%)
to high and it's too caustic too low and it's not efective
I shoot for 1%
1 quart Hydrogen peroxide at Mejeir or walmart <$1 1 drop of 3% H2O2 for every 1ml of xyitol water (.15%) .0950-.1% Xylitol Water.... distill water 1 oz 1/8t xyitol crystals Or 1 cup (8 oz) of water to 1 teaspoons xyitol xyitol lowers to PH and help stableize the H2O2 so it does not breakdown before it get it into your blood stream now Although this is stabilized some I prefer to add this to nebulizer just before nebulizing and add 4 drops h2o2 to 6 ml xyitol water 1teaspoon - .75 ml xyitol seems to stabilize the H2O2 a little but best to put in last and nebulize immediate don't add the H2O2 until just before nebulizer use You can use a PulseOximeter on your finger to measure the Blood Oxygen increase. But I have no way to measure the increase in stem cells or NO. I'm relying on science and logic. Background....Used Charlie Farr's H2O2 IV protocol to determine effective & safe H2O2 % in solution levels. On my friend with a heart condition where he lost 32% of his heart muscle. We raised his blood O2 from 94 % to 99% measured by using a Pulse Oximeter. One could use steile water instead of distilled if concerned about sterile.
