Unbelieveable Research

Almost every day as a Labor and Delivery nurse, we participate in Cord Blood Collection. On a good day, this process is little less than a minor annoyance. On a bad day it's a significant hassle that I would like to hurl out the window. In fact, one of my Pet Peeves is patients and their husbands who come in to deliver a baby and have absolutely no idea what Cord Blood Collection even is. They just shove a box at you. Take responsibility, people! It's your money, your investment and your future!

Although I've honestly never taken the time to sit down and really educate myself with regards to all of the risks, benefits and controversy of Cord Blood Collection and stem cell research, there is always a nagging little question in the back of my head wondering why we often hear of the political resistance to such new discoveries. Is the opposition to the method of stem cell collection and not the use of stem cells themselves? What is the actual issue? If people find Cord Blood Collection controversial, here's and article to knock their socks off!

Taking Control:
Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases
May Be Found in Women's Menstrual Blood

July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST

OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind -- especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body -- in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

"C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way," said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. "We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings."
