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.
Enroll online today at cordblood.com with the Gift Code MUSIC and save $250 off of the price of storage.
Enroll early and have your collection kit ready for the big day! You won't be charged until your baby's cord blood is stored.
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.

Good article. I don't think I could care negatively about you making a bit money off this. I'll be sure to pass this to others.
ReplyDeleteIf I may go off into a totally different subject, as I have no clue as how to otherwise contact you... I'm somewhat disappointed at how your other blog is in disarray. I write this on the verge of sleep, so please forgive any rudeness on my part. Let me explain -
I had hit 18 with a great amount of fear in my heart. I did not know what my status would be, when it comes to occupying a place to live, when I became an adult.
I thought of the horrors of being homeless, my paranoid mind worked out all these hellish scenario's of me ending in a gutter somewhere. I live in LA, the streets are mean.
I did what any person of my generation would do. I consulted the great mystical knowledge of the internet. What I found there was stuff mostly dubious in quality. Things which either confirmed my fears, or blew them out of proportion. That is until I read your homeless blog.
It empowered me, and put my fears to rest. Sure, the road would of been hard. But it was possible. I had the means to a car, which was half the battle. I had more than enough money to jumpstart my new 'life' as a homeless person. Your advice saved me from having a panic attack at even the thought of losing a 'home'.
Your advice has effected me deeply. Now, I don't really fear losing 'everything'. I know the means to survive. The best part is, the advice is time tested. As long as there roads, cars, free refills, and gyms... it's all you really need. I may, in the future, even consider trying out the lifestyle for fun.
I thank you so much for your advice, which is why I must ask you to add on, and even rewrite some parts of your blog. The lists are incomplete, and there's so many more facets that you can explain. What are the best types of jobs to shoot for with a mobile lifestyle, the best insurance, long term life and health insurance, and even retirement.
Your homeless blog says that it's a sustainable lifestyle, yet there's so much of it left open, that it seems at best, a stopgap to a home. I know that you lived the lifestyle for 5 years, but what about 20? What about a life time? How can you make this have the same effect as those with a more permanent place of residence. With even an eventual 'retirement' plan, where you would not have to work for the few things you need to live this lifestyle?
There's other things which you could touch up on. How to keep a proper diet, with a minimum of food (I know you mention getting a stove, and buying a handful of rice. But there's a lot more open to this). The biggest step, and most important thing I could think of, is to update your tools list, and re-open suggestions.
If I'm being foolish, if you moved your blog to somewhere else and it's being updated, and it's me who does not have the clue, please correct me. But if not, I implore you to continue your work on the Homeless Blog - it means so much to me, and especially others who've read your content. I've suggested it to other people, and they have told me it helped a lot. Especially the teen section, which is what affected me those years ago I read it.
I'll check back periodically to see if this comment was replied to.
Much regards,
Terry
