Dr. Giampapa, chief medical officer of the Cell Health Institute and his research team at Rutgers University in New Jersey, have successfully completed stem cell research over the past two years that promises to have a strong global impact on both the quality of health and the economic problems of the world’s aging population. An improvement in these variables will in turn positively influence the current state of political turmoil in a number of countries. The purpose of the revolutionary science produced by the Giampapa research team has been to focus on improving the quality of health throughout our lifespan rather than the length of life itself. Increasing the overall quality of life, achieved through a human body’s natural regenerative mechanisms, is now possible. The ability to improve life through the goal of enhancing aged adult stem cell functions has broad benefits to everyone. A healthier humanity means longer periods of productivity and higher quality of life while reducing healthcare and related costs.
