As some of you who read some of my blogs know, I am a proponent of stem cell research. I think since I have multiple chronic illnesses, including autoimmune diseases and these illnesses may pass onto my children or my grandchildren I want research available on many types of cures. There is currently research on stem cells for treatment of such diseases as Parkinson’s, certain neuromuscular diseases and Alzheimers.
There is controversy on gathering stem cells from fetuses as some people believe that the fetus is a living being. C’elle is providing a new way of harvesting stem cells by gathering them from menstrual blood. C’elle is owned by Cryo-Cell which gathers stem cells from umbilical cord blood. They are innovative and working with the National Institute of Health on this new program which they have named the Monthly Miracle®.
You can keep up to date on how the program is progressing by reading the C’elle Blog which is written by Mercedes Walton, the CEO of Cryo-Cell International.
How do you benefit from C’elle? You collect your menstrual blood with an easy to use collection kit. It is then mailed to Cryo-Cell where the blood stem cells are separated and stored. They are frozen for later use if need be. They can be saved indefinitely. There is a fee for this service and for the storage but the benefits outweigh the costs. Since this is a cutting edge service, there is an introductory fee. Don’t wait, you or a family member’s life may depend on it.
