When you are pregnant, your baby is attached to you and gets all its nutrients from an umbilical cord. When the baby is born, the cord is cut, forever detaching baby from you. Inside are cord blood stem cells, and they are very valuable to you and your growing family. They can be used in any number of medical treatments. Cord blood banks offer a place to store it until the day you need it.
The stem cellules are the most predominant in the body. They help in and repairing blood supply, building organ tissues, and strengthening your immune system. Doctors began using them for cancer patients through bone marrow transplants. Traditional cancer treatments use chemotherapy which leaves the body's immune system compromised. These great little units can help a cancer patient strengthen his immune system and regenerate his red body fluid thus helping him to get well.
Everyday lives are being saved with these little cellules. New research called regenerative medicine is now looking into childhood diabetes and brain injuries.
Cellular medicine through bone marrow transplants has been successfully done for over twenty years. Leukemia and many other cancers and disorders can be healed with these tiny cellules. New studies suggest that these cellules can actually heal the body of these diseases by regenerating and rebuilding damaged tissue.
Banks are available to hold on to your baby's cord blood stem cells for you should you ever need them. Many important adjustments are going on when you are expecting a baby. This is one of them. Think of it as a special once in a lifetime gift from your baby that could save his or her life or a brother or sister's life later down the road. It is an important life giving choice for your family. Storing it properly will keep it safe should you ever need it.
Collecting stem cells is safe, easy, and fast. The doctor can do it at the time of delivery and it only takes a few minutes. He cuts the cord and then packs it up in protective packaging and it is sent directly to storage. There they keep it for you in a cryogenic freezer tank until the day that you request it.
Current reports state that by the time we reach the age of seventy years old one out of every two hundred and seventeen of us will have the need to use our own or someone else's in the family. When you are expecting a baby is when you should be making this very important decision for your family's future. Your baby has a perfect match as well as her brothers and sisters. Her parents and her grandparents also can match.
A special bank can store your tiny cellules for as long as you need them too. In the case of stem cells more is better. More cellules translates into better recovery time and less medical complications should you ever become sick and need them. If possible, saving the vital fluid from each child you have would give you more stem cells and more matches for your family. It is a great life saving technique and everyone should be able to do it. Perhaps one day in the future everyone will be able to save their cord blood for a longer, healthier life.
