For 9 months the umbilical cord plays a vital role in the care of your child's health and well-being.But you can entend this care for a lifetime.By saving cord blood and stem cells it contains,you can now decide to make a special provision for the future health of your child.
Stem Cells: One of Nature's Gifts
Stem cells have an amazing ability to create different kinds of tissues when they divide and develop.With this ability,stem cells play an essential role during the development of the baby and are crucial in the recovery of damaged or older tissues later in life.This power to produce different kinds of specialised cells makes them so unique and potent for medical therapy.Discovery of stem cells was one of the greatest achievements of modern science.
Birth: a once-in-a-lifetime oppurtunity
Umbilical cord stem cells can be collected at the moment the umbilical cord between the mother and the child is cut.The collection is easy,over in a few minutes and completely harmless to both mother and child.It does not affect the natural sequences of birth at all,and in contrast to the collection of stem cells from the bone marrow,no invasive procedure is needed.Stem cells collected from the umbilical cord at the time of birth have many advantages over the stem cells collected later in life.So the time of birth is a one-time oppurtunity to secure yous child health.
All parents secure their child's financial,educational futures etc.but from now on all parents-to-be make it a point to secure your childs health too.More to be discussed on...
