Her Heart is Our Mission
For women struggling with heart disease, the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute is leading the way in next-generation care. Our groundbreaking research and education have one goal: to wipe out the No. 1 killer of women.

Re: New "Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center" Website Launches
Your name and fame have brought a focus to women that has found neglect back as far as the mitochondrial genes trace. The oppression of woman has been to remove her power and suppress knowledge of the gifts women have circulating in their blood and encoded in the fragmented genes she passes from generation to generation.
The physiological and emotional differences between men and women is profound. The heart is a good place to start.
I heard in your interview with Ellen DeGeneris aired November 27th that stem cells of women are more target specific then those of men. Your research indicates exploration of women's stem cells for regeneration of heart muscle.
I would like to help steer your focus if I may.
Use the non-invasive technique of collection of menses. The 'old blood' lining the uterus (particularly clotted blood) will manifest the embryonic nuclei after full disintegration of the RBC's. These non-nucleated cells will nucleate once the iron atom central to hemoglobin bound by four nitrogen atoms demetallates. This blood which the zygote embeds is rich in de-differentiated nuclei. The blood of the menses collected and aged becomes a non-odorous black tar that when rubbed on the skin relative to area of injury, will migrate or diffuse into capillary beds and circulate to area of injury. The phantom effect of DNA communicates with and calls on these embryonic nuclei for re-differentiation to repair the specific level of cell injury. The blank slate enables DNA to recreate any level of tissue injury.
This method of healing is as old as Eve. Eve unfortunately gave the genes encrypted with these nuclei to the cytoplasm as mtDNA. Until which time this code is retro-inverted into the nuclear DNA we must utilize the gift of our mothers, women who menstruate. Umbilical blood is limited and not as specialized as that of the menses.
The Aboriginal peoples still use this blood today for healing of any injury, whether internal or external. This culture has maintained the wisdom for thousands of years.
I suspect Mary Magdelene carried these nuclei in the alabaster jar and were used for resurrection.
What you do with this is your choice. This knowledge was suppressed and women oppressed by men through the ages to gain power and take hers away. Women are very different and give birth because her genes have memory that surfaces in her blood during pregnancy. This is why we remain healthy and chronic conditions improve during pregnancy.
Let this focus carry us to a place where all of humanity can be cured from disease whose effects are but one cause, and carried by the cardiovascular system to every cell in these wonderful bodies that have the potential to heal itself.
These nuclei you will identify as a nucleated RBC.
We stand on the precipice of change.....precariously perched! If we can believe in ourselves and the wisdom maintained through the ages in stories, writings, songs and artifact of stone etched in the rubble of time, then we will gain homeostasis of the cell and attain immortality.
God Blesses you Barbra for giving unselfishly.

Dear Ms. Streisand,
You gave us songs of the heart when we were growing up. Now that we're adults, you're caring for the health of that heart. Thank you very much for being a guardian of the women--and the love--of our lives!

Ms. Streisand,
Congratulations on setting up this organization for women's cardiovascular research. I just want you to be aware of another heart-related issue. With your name recognition, perhaps you can do something about this as well.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills 300,000 Americans annually (it's different than a heart attack). SCA is preventable. Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) can determine who is susceptible to SCA. It is non-invasive and takes a half-hour to perform. NASA uses MTWA on astronauts. Sadly, it's not used on other Americans. Why? Because cardiologists have a conflict of interest in using it. The current philosophy at Medicare and other medical payors is letting doctors decide which tests to use. Given that freedom, doctors prefer to use invasive electrophysiology (EP) to determine susceptiblitiy to SCA. EP is not only invasive (an incision must be made) but far more expensive than MTWA, which is performed on an outpatient basis. The doctors make about four times as much money using EP than they do using MTWA. An MTWA test costs no more than $500 (it's average reimbursement rate for 2012 is $183) while the pure EP test costs around $1,800. However, performing an EP test costs much more (nearly $9,000) because two-thirds of that cost involves paying for a two-day recovery period in a hospital (an incision is made with EP, making the patient susceptible to infection). Obviously, hospitals like EP being used because it fills up there beds (that's how they make income). MTWA has had FDA approval since 1999 (for 13 years) and a reimbursement code (#93025) since 2006 (for six years). So why don't doctors use it? Answer: they make more from using EP.
With EP, an incision is made in the hand, forearm or thigh to insert an electrical probe. Once in a vein, it is threaded to the heart and gives the heart electrical shocks for about two hours to obtain readings. By comparison, MTWA involves placing sensors on one's torso and taking readings for a half hour. Which test would you prefer to take?
MTWA is also the first economical test to determine who really needs a defibrillator. Columbia University conducted a study of 170,000 implanted defibs (ICDs) and determined that 30 percent of them were unnecessary. At $65,000 each ($20,000 for the defib and $40,000 to implant it), 50,000 unnecessary ICDs costs taxpayers $3.25 billion in unneeded medical bills. This does not include the thousands of dollars spent annually to maintain defibs.

Thank you,
