Storing Cord Blood

If you are about to have a child, there's something important you should think about: Storing your baby's cord blood.

There are cells in the cord blood that if given back to the child can save her from stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal injury, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, leukemia and a whole host of other diseases. If she needs it, a new heart valve can be constructed for her that will grow with her, and is a perfect genetic match for her (no organ rejection). Later in life, if she has a sports injury, new cartilage can be made for her. There are new uses being researched even as you read this. The odds she'll have some important use for those cells during her lifetime seem very high indeed, and for the major uses odds don't matter at all. If you're the one, then you would be willing to do almost anything to get this chance again.

The trouble is, you've got to do it at birth, before you know you need it.

For more information, ask me about it, or visit CBR Lab Tour. CBR is the leader in cord blood banking. They do it best, and with the highest safety standards and viability rates (99%). Callia and I banked Cheval's cord blood, and I am working with them now to try to get a clinical study started to see if the cord blood can cure his autism. The people at CBR are amazing. Really. Amazing.

Full disclosure: I make some money promoting the storage of cord blood and I want as many parents involved as possible because I am trying to make a clinical trial happen to help my boy with autism. All that said, we stored Cheval's cord blood before we had autism and before I was making any money, so if you know anyone who's planning a family, I urge you to pass the message along. Saving cord blood can make the most important wishes come true.
