The Transparent Hypnotist

There are times when I sit here, consciously oblivious to the trends that surround me. At other times I give in the the crashing waves of the populace and this is one such time. Whether you are a blogger who has written about C’elle stem cell products, listened to your preacher (minister, priest, or whatever term you use) discuss it (sometimes for, often against), or heard the raging political debts, surely the notion of stem cells and their pros and cons have touched your awareness.

Tending towards a more liberal side of thinking, I have never personally bulked at stem cell research - even when the media (and politicians) conjured up all sorts of nasty thoughts on the souls of unborn children abandoned for research using fetuses. But even in the beginning of the negative spin campaign for stem cell research, there was discussion on using stem cells from umbilical cords (how is that bad?). Now stem cells are collected from menstruation blood (it’s not like we were using that substance for anything else). Granted the research verdict on the use of such stem cells is still being studied, but what a positive step forward.

As a hypnotist, I chose this profession to help people. I hate to see any suffering (I suspect many of you can relate). I do what I can to ease that suffering, but I know that science and medicine also have much to offer. There is so much mind-body related suffering and yet there are also diseases that are much more complicated. This is where stem cells come into the picture.
About the Science
The potential for stem cell research is large. It has shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of illnesses (Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Autism, to just name a couple). Using menstrual stem cells that can replicate a variety of body cells (heart muscle, bone, nerve, fat, and cartilage) may lead to larger advancements in healing.

So, here’s the deal, even if you are not generously inclined to save humanity (or decrease its suffering), you might be into helping yourself. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing for the future and saving your own stem cells (women). With science and technology advancing at a furious pace, menstrual stem cells may hold the key to saving your own life at some time or even maintaining your well-being. Heck, many people bank their own blood before a surgery. Is this so different provided you have the financial means - $499 with a current discount?

So now for the Sunday Question - do you invest in your own future well-being already and if so, what do you do? Do you use hypnosis, do you bank your blood, do you save your own stem cells, do you exercise, are you a healthy eater - all these are considered an investment for the future. What do you do?
