Cord Blood Stem Cells

You may or may not be familiar with cord blood banks. I wasn't until a few years ago when I learned about it through one of my clients, a cancer care provider. We worked on a patient testimonial of a child who was using his saved cord blood stem cells to fight cancer. They can also be used to treat brain injuries, juvenile diabetes, and other diseases. Saving cord blood stem cells from your baby after delivery could save your child's life.

While we hope we never have to use them, we see this as another type of health insurance for our child. The cost is minimal when you think about the benefits it provides. After a lot of research, we enrolled with Cord Blood Registry and are very pleased with our selection. Besides the fact that they have outstanding credentials, the customer service was the best that I have experienced in a long time.

If you are expecting, I would highly recommend looking into saving the cord blood stem cells. There are several quality providers in the US to choose from. It is well worth the research and potential investment.
