On Today’s Heart Of Mind Radio we explore information about ‘Stem Cells’ and their role in restoring human health with Christian Drapeau, a leader in the field of Stem Cell Nutrition and ElenaGurevich, a Licensed Massage Therapist and representative for Stemtech a botanically based product that supports the performance of the body’s natural stem cells. Host Kathryn Davis ends the program with a commentary on taking charge of our health needs.
Christian Drapeau is Chief Science Officer at Stemtech International. He co-founded Stemtech, a leader in the field of Stem Cell Nutrition in 2005. Prior to co-founding Stemtech, Drapeau was the Director of Research and Development at Cell Tech & Desert Lake Technologies, where his study of the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae slowly led him to the field of stem cell research.
Christian's theory that Adult Stem Cells are nothing less than the human body's natural healing system has profound implications for every area of modern medicine. The idea that heart disease, diabetes and other medical conditions could become things of the past is no longer science fiction: because of recent Adult Stem Cell research breakthroughs. Drapeau's current research focuses on methods to support the natural role of Adult Stem Cell in the body. He collaborates with scientists and other medical experts around the world on Adult Stem Cell research and applications.
Christian has published more than 20 peer-review papers in the field of epileptogenesis and stem cell research, and currently serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Stem Cell Research and Therapy. He is the author of “Cracking the Stem Cell Code”, which found itself on Amazon’s Best Seller list. Drapeau holds a Bachelor degree in Honors Neurophysiology and Masters degree in Neurology and Neurosurgery from Canada’s McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, with work performed at the Montreal Neurological Institute. His thesis was on epileptogenesis and the role of eicosanoids in long-term potentiation and he completed further scientific training in variable projection microscopy at Bradford Research Institute and in ion-selective microelectrode recordings at St-Anne Hospital in France.
Stemtech's products for humans and animals are composed of natural botanicals, that have been clinically documented by Christian and other scientists to support the performance of our own stem cells. Drapeau has become one of America's best-known advocates for Adult Stem Cell research. Gaining recognition when his breakthrough theory of Adult Stem Cells, achieved widespread interest across the scientific and medical communities.
Elena Gurevich, L.M.T. Elena is a true "Renaissance Woman", Elena is a healer, health coach and licensed massage therapist as well as a classically trained pianist, opera singer, painter, sculptor, dancer and yoga instructor. Living in Manhattan offers her many ways to pursue her interests and also provides a plethora of opportunities to share her passion for Stem Cell Nutrition and Stemtech.
As a healer, she truly understands how amazing StemEnhance and Stemflo are. She has had significant results with the products, using them for 6 years and sharing them with anyone who would listen. She feels that as a healer, she has much faster and better results when people she works with add Stemtech products to their everyday regimen. She has built an international organization and is now working with Russian community, as Stemtech just opened for business in Russia this year.

On today’s program we explore our life challenges with Esther Nicholson, author of:"Soul Recovery" 12 Keys to Healing Addiction ...And 12 steps for the Rest of Us - a Path to Wholeness, Serenity and Success. In the final segment Host Kathryn comments on the fact that the Ascension process is happening NOW and announces her upcoming lecture on the topic at the New Life Expo, Oct. 19th – www.newlifeexpo.com
Esther Nicholson’s Soul Recovery unlocks and heals the patens of dependence as they show u in substance abuse, food, relationships and other addiction-like behaviors that cause many of us to suffer and fail. Ester bravely shares her own inspiring journey from cocaine addiction and domestic abuse to a healthy life of wholeness, serenity and success as a speaker, teacher, practitioner, therapist and world-renowned singer with Bette Midler and Rod Stewart.
The easy-to-follow program of study and daily practice contains a powerful spiritual technology that will empower and carry you to greater fulfillment and joy, no matter what you’ve experienced, thought or done in the past. Those 12 Keys saved Esther’s life!
Soul Recovery changes life-long patterns to create a profound self-awareness that dissolves dependence-whether big or small. Its lessons and exercises are universally applicable to people of all ages and experiences.
Ester Nicholson, a celebrated vocalist formerly with Bette Midler and Rod Stewart, is a gifted speaker, teacher, spiritual therapist and former addict who has developed a unique and powerful 12-Step-informed, complimentary program for healing dependence.
The program is the result of more than a decade of work, optimizing a unique combination of spiritual practice and the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. The program has been codified into a 12 week process in Ms. Nicholson's new book, "Soul Recovery - 12 Keys to Healing Addiction," published by Agape Media and Hay House.
Ester's life story sketches a path from humble beginnings: as the youngest child born to a Baptist minister father, growing up on Long Island (NY) then moving to Los Angeles - where she honed her addiction to crack cocaine and later found her redemption from it.

On Today’s Heart of Mind Radio show we speak to a remarkable hero in the world of sight, Meir Schneider, PhD, LMT
Meir was born blind to deaf parents in 1954 because of congenital cataracts. After five unsuccessful surgeries on the lenses of his eyes, which left him with massive scar tissue, glaucoma, cataracts, cross-sightedness and nystagmus (involuntary rapid eye movement), his doctors pronounced his condition hopeless and he was certified permanently legally blind. He performed his reading and schoolwork in Braille. Inside, he never relinquished his dream of gaining sight.
Just months before his seventeenth birthday, Meir met a teenage boy, a high school dropout, who gave him hope that his dream of seeing could be realized. He taught him the Bates Method of eye exercises. He practiced them with a diligence that probably no one had ever applied to them before, up to 13 hours a day, undeterred by the opposition and skepticism of family and physicians. Using the Bates Method as his foundation he developed many more eye exercises never heard of and created his own regimen of self-massage and movement and eventually the seven principals of natural vision improvement that he writes about in his book, Vision For Life.
Within six months of starting the exercises, he could recognize visual objects for the first time in his life; within 18 months, he could read print without glasses, holding the paper a few inches from his nose. Today, he holds a current unrestricted California driver’s license, and his vision continues to improve. From 20/2000 (able to see from one foot what a normally sighted person sees from 100 feet) to 20/60 (70% of normal vision)!
Meir began to help others with their vision problems and with a wide range of degenerative conditions, such as polio, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. Although the exercises are completely different with those conditions his belief in their ability to recover and a new outlook helped him to develop exercises that had never been tried before. He found that the same principles, which enabled him to gain functional eyesight, could be applied to the entire body. His unique approach and the unprecedented success led to his discoveries and to the creation of Meir Schneider Method of Self-Healing through Bodywork and Movement, helping tens of thousands of people with serious physical and visual conditions worldwide.
