Cryo-Cell to donate $25 to Save the Children's Hope for Haiti for each enrollment in February

Are you pregnant? If you are, take the time to do some research into cord blood banking. With so much in the news about stem cell research and its current and potential future uses, it does make you wonder if everyone shouldn't do it in case their child may need stem cell therapy in the future due to illness.

Did you know that cord blood stem cells have been used to treat over 70 diseases, including many that are inherited? Sometimes you just don't know what is in your family tree (or your spouse's) until your child is diagnosed with a hereditary disorder. If that day ever comes, wouldn't it would be nice to tell the doctor that you had cord blood banked?

When I visited the Cryo-Cell site, I viewed the client testimonials. These heart touching stories will warm your heart. One in particular, Nicholas' story, was featured. He was diagnosed with cancer around the time his mom learned that she was pregnant. They banked his baby brother's cord blood and used it to treat Nicholas' cancer. He was listed as being in remission now, thanks to his his brother's birth leftovers! Most parents don't even give a thought to saving the umbilical cord, but in Nicholas' case, it was a life saving decision.

Current research involving cord blood stem cells includes potential uses in spinal cord injuries, strokes, and even MS and Parkinsons. Note that this is cord blood cells, NOT embryonic stem cells from fetuses. Cord blood cells are derived from the umbilical cord, something that the doctor snips free and throws away with the rest of the after birth.

February is a fantastic month to enroll with Cryo-Cell because they will donate $25 for each enrollment through the month of February to Save the Children's Hope for Haiti fund. If you are expecting and considering the benefits of cord blood banking, enroll now and help fund a great cause.
