Protect Baby. Protect Family. That’s what moms and dads do.Your baby’s cord blood is a valuable source of precious stem cells. Cord blood banking is a natural way to protect your baby which simply preserves what would otherwise be discarded. 3 Important Reasons to Bank Your Baby's Cord Blood:
1. Uses for cord blood are expanding rapidly. In 1988, only one condition was treatable with cord blood stem cells. Today, cord blood is used to treat nearly 80 life-threatening diseases including leukemia and lymphoma, sickle-cell anemia, and bone marrow failure syndromes.
2. Excitement is growing as new therapies emerge. New treatments with cord blood focus on regenerative medicine – revolutionary therapies that have the potential to treat currently untreatable diseases and conditions such as cerebral palsy, juvenile diabetes, heart disease, and spinal cord injuries.
3. Stem cell transplants are happening every day. One out of every 217 people will have a stem cell transplant in their lifetime – that means that nearly 20,000 babies born this year in the U.S. will have a stem cell transplant.
*Cord blood stem cell research to treat additional diseases is experimental.
