A method of replenishing cells damaged by treatment for cancer comprising removing a sample of peripheral blood containing CD34+ pluripotent adult stem cells from a primate mammal, controllably expanding the cells without differentiation at a rate which produces an expansion factor of at least seven times within seven days while maintaining their three-dimensional geometry and their cell-to-cell support and cell-to-cell geometry, removing any toxic materials from the expanded undifferentiated CD34+ pluripotent adult stem cells, and reintroducing the CD34+ pluripotent adult stem cells into the primate mammal within a time period sufficient to prevent the primate mammal from suffering decreased mobility due to loss of hematopoietic or other cells from a treatment for cancer.
