Method of regenerating human tissue
First Claim
1. A method for regenerating a human individual'"'"'s tissue comprising determining the white blood cell content of the individual, administering granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual while monitoring the white blood cell content of the individual, continuing the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual until the white blood cell content is more than twice its original amount, maintaining the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual at a level that maintains the white blood cell content at least at twice its original amount, monitoring the individual'"'"'s tissue to be regenerated, and discontinuing the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual when the tissue regenerates.

Abstract
A method for regenerating a human individual'"'"'s tissue is disclosed comprising determining the white blood cell content of the individual, administering granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual while monitoring the white blood cell content of the individual, continuing the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual until the white blood cell content is more than twice its original amount, maintaining the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual at a level that maintains the white blood cell content at least at twice its original amount, monitoring the individual'"'"'s tissue to be regenerated, and discontinuing the administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to the individual when the tissue regenerates. Also disclosed is the above method which includes removing blood cells from the individual, controllably expanding the blood cells while maintaining their three-dimensional geometry and their cell-to-cell geometry and reintroducing the blood cells into the individual while administering the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
