I'll post this because no one else has replied with anything, which is surprising.The only thing that I've come across is the blue algae type products that are 'supposed' to promote stem cell production.

If I remember right, there was a company called Cerul? something like that, that did a StemCellEnhance product. I don't know anything about this technology or the company. So if you consider this, you seriously need to research them and their product out. Maybe there's a paper with research on it.

What I will say though is my initial thoughts are promoting stem cell production with cancer about has a decent element of risk... Supplements are not regulated also has to have consideration here as well.

Maybe someone can comment on this who knows more about it. Sorry but its the only thing I can think of.

Hope it helps.
