Have you heard of Cryo-Cell? They are the leading cord blood bank company in the industry. “Cord banking” refers to the storage of umbilical cord blood. This blood is filled with stem cells– the blood is typically thrown away after the baby’s birth. I don’t see why some people are so intent on “using” aborted babies for their stem cells (which is totally inhumane and disgusting) when stem cells abound in cord blood. There is more ongoing research, and thankfully Cryo-Cell is taking the lead. You can read loads more about stem cell research and Cryo-Cell’s contribution at their website. In a nutshell, Cryo-Cell provides cord-blood harvesting kits to expectant parents. When the baby is born, a small sampling of the baby’s umbilical cord blood is harvested. This portion is sent to the Cryo-Cell storage facility. The blood is reserved for future use for the child or a sibling. The benefits for this are on many levels– for one, that cord blood which is full of stem cells is reserved for your child should he or she ever need it. Research is showing that stem cells can help treat and even resolve certain diseases, such as diabetes and immunity disorders and etc. Moreover (and this happened to a relative of mine), stem cells from one child can help an ailing sibling. I had a niece who had leukemia as a baby, and no match could be found for a bone marrow donor. After the birth of her baby brother, however, my niece found her match; but bone marrow harvesting is a painful process; no kid should have to go through that. If cord blood had been available for her, I’m sure it would have been better for her and her little brother.

Cryo-Cell’s umbilical cord blood storage system is ground-breaking. And now Cryo-Cell is trying to help out the earthquake victims in Haiti. Throughout February, Cryo-Cell will donate $25 from each cord-blood subscription enrollment to the the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund.” If you’ve been waiting in the wings for your chance to check out Cryo-Cell, here it is. And you can help a worthy cause, too. Click this link to enroll now.

The industry’s leader with stem cell collection and storage is none other than Cryo-Cell. They realize that cord blood collection can be a rather expensive venture in today’s economy, so they are having a SALE! :D If you have been holding back on checking out Cryo-Cell’s service, this may be the moment you’ve been waiting for, because I have two specials to tell you about: the Cryo-Cell’s premium family service, the “Protect Baby, Protect Mom” service.

These are great deals. If you have been wanting to take advantage of the scientific advantages of collecting and storing your baby’s umbilical cord blood, this is an excellent time to do so. Time is of the essence! Check out the Cryo-Cell website for more information on stem cell research and Cryo-Cell’s services.

• Did you know that over 12,000 umbilical cord blood stem cell transplants occurred worldwide to treat over 75 different diseases?
• Did you know that cord blood stem cells are 100% match for the infant donor and 1 in 4 match for a sibling?

I didn’t know those statistics. That’s amazing!

I’ve written several times about the remarkable technology behind adult stem cell and umbilical cord blood stem cell research and harvesting. I am 110% against abortion and I’m 110% against killing innocent unborn babies for harvesting their stem cells. Stem cell research abounds on adult cells and umbilical cord blood– and there are many, many benefits that far outweigh using unborn babies as spare parts.

Cryo-Cell is a company that specializes in cord blood banking– they are actually the leader in the industry– and have over 175,000 clients and growing. Cryo-Cell provides kits to parents; when their baby is born, a small sampling of the umbilical cord blood is harvested, and the sample is shipped to the Cryo-Cell facilities. It is placed in storage for any future use for the child or siblings. New parents are rapidly becoming aware of the benefits of cord blood storage.

Adult stem cells can be harvested from umbilical cord blood. Some parents may collect their baby’s cord blood and store it at a facility, where it sits in a secure and hygenic place. Of course, it’s hoped that the stem cells are never necessary for disease therapy, but like reserving your blood in preparation for surgery that you hope you never have, it pays to be prepared. And there’s another easy way regular citizens can take part in collecting and storing stems cells for the future– through a woman’s cycle. C’elle, a leading company for stem cell collection, has a great offer–  Enroll now  and pay only  $299 if you use the promo code CN400. That’s $400 off the regular price! C’elle will send you a collection kit, and you can ship back the collection to them for safe storage. Check out the C’elle website for loads more information on what they offer, more on stem cell therapy, and how you may order.

The people at Cryo-Cell International have thought about this, too. Cryo-Cell International is a blood bank; specifically, it’s a service for parents and their new babies. They are one of the largest blood banks in the world. Umbilical cord blood is collected at birth with one of Cryo-Cell’s special kits. This cord blood is shipped to the Cryo-Cell blood banks and stored there. Medical studies have shown that umbilical cord blood is filled with stem cells– stem cells that can be utilized for future medical needs for the child. Stem cells have been called “the master cells,” because they produce all of the maturing cells in the body, including white blood cells and red blood cells. I think this is amazing! And cord blood collection it completely eliminates that false idea that scientists “need” to harvest stem cells from aborted babies. Cord blood, which kills no baby and hurts no one, can be harvested for its stem cells.

The Cryo-Cell kit is easily obtained. You can visit their website to learn more about the process and the cost– see here to

Most of my kids are late winter/early spring babies. My eldest will soon be 19 years old. *sob* I can’t believe how she’s grown up so fast. And I can’t believe how old I’ve gotten so quickly, lol! Things have really changed since then, even in those short 20 years. I know some of you blogger friends reading this are expectant moms. Things have changed SOOO much. Like ultrasounds? Back then, they were fuzzy images, and we got printouts, like a Xerox machine (which, by the way, don’t last long). Today, you lucky ladies get 3D images on a CD disk! Do you have any idea how neat that is?! I wish I’d had that.

Another neat new thing is Cryo-Cell. It’s the name of a company- the largest family cord blood bank and storage service- that will store your baby’s umbilical cord blood. I think it is amazing at how parents are able to take more control of their baby’s health these days with things like this.

Cryo-Cell sells kits. After the birth of the baby, the kit allows your medical assistant to reserve some of the baby’s umbilical cord blood. This reserve is mailed to the Cryo-Cell storage facility, where the cord blood is kept in a storage facility especially for your baby. This blood has stem cells, which have been proven to help with diseases. More and more research is being done on stem cells every year, and they have high hopes that stem cells from umbilical cord blood will help to treat and cure a lot of ailments. It’s a beautiful thing to do for a child. You can even purchase gift certificates to give the gift of Cryo-Cell for expectant parents. See here for current offers.

I remain amazed at the leaps and bounds of technology. I have to wonder how things will be in twenty more years?!

But I think I am OK with stem cell research if a person wants to donate. Like giving blood to an accident victim, or donating bone marrow to a leukemia victim, I think stem cell donation can do a lot of good. Of course, God is the one who does the healing and He made the body to get well; but even God “borrowed” a part from Adam to build Eve. :D

There’s recent news making headlines that the biggest cord blood bank, Cryo-Cell, has teamed up with the National Institute of Health to research treating diseases with stem cells. Of particular interest is the study to see if stem cells can treat breast cancer. They intend– for the first time– to use a non-invasive imaging method to track the progress, that of the MRI! I think that is amazing! I’ve had my share of MRIs and I find it an amazing tool.

What do you think? Do you think this constitutes a new and improved means of science health? I participated in a scientific study when I was induced for labor for two of my children. I hope that my own results help mothers and babies in the future. We can use science to advance health and healthy living. I think it’s time for that. Mankind is predisposed to use technology for his selfish and evil purposes; time to start helping people instead!
