Cord Blood Storage

I was going through the packet of stuff they give you at the OB’s office (when you go in for your first check-up) today. What can I say? I had forgotten about it and went on a mad cleaning spree. In it is a coupon from Cord Blood Registry for $150 in savings. Call for a free kit 888-227-3086 or visit their website. Use coupon code B650 to save!
I understand the concept of storing the blood but overall have not become convinced it is the way to go for me. If there are a lot of debilitating diseases in our families then that may be another story. Overall, it is personal choice and I applaud them allowing the option for us to decide to use it or not.
Here’s a little more info from their flyer if you are questioning what exactly cord blood storage is. Another route is to search Google or Yahoo. Good luck!
- Ensure your family is protected. Today nearly 70 diseases can be treated with cord blood stem cells including leukemia, other cancers and blood disorders.
- Benefit from new uses. Doctors are working to develop stem cell treatments for heart disease, juvenile diabetes, brain injury and more.
