Human cells renew at different rates depending on the type of cell and tissue. While we have not yet figured out ways to actually optimize this renewal system, we do know that poor health and poor nutrition can destroy this renewal system. While there is no single time frame in which the entire body’s cells are replaced, here are some general estimates for various types of cells and tissues: Rapidly Renewing Cells Red Blood Cells: Approximately every 120 days. Skin Cells: The epidermis (outer layer of the skin) renews itself about every 2-4 weeks. Intestinal Lining Cells: The cells lining the ..read more

In truth the technology was discovered 70 years ago, but the testing was erratic, and it wasn’t clear how to apply the results to improve health. And now the active focus of research. Some of these technologies, such as diagnosing fetal abnormalities, as been available for a couple of decades. Other diseases, change ..read more
