In recent weeks we have come to understand the true value of the phrase "health above all" and you probably won't believe us when we tell you that there is a way to always put health first, from birth. But here it is. We introduce you to stem cells, under the sleeve for a variety of diseases, infections and disorders.
But what are stem cells and can they save someone's life? Anabel contacted Future Health Biobank, which provides the service to all prospective parents, to compile this article.
Stem cells are the bricks that build life. They are taken from the umbilical cord of the newborn baby, and have the amazing ability to differentiate and specialize in different types of blood and tissue cells and heal the body from within.
If the child continues to face an illness or health problem during his or her lifetime, stem cells are used to treat the disease as well as regenerate damaged or damaged and aging tissue. And so, one day these invaluable cells can save a child's life by being 100% compatible with his body and can also be very valuable to his siblings and even his parents.
In fact, no parent would think of the worst when it comes to having a healthy baby, but history has shown that evil can happen, and we always do well to be prepared. Thus, through stem cells, new parents ensure their child's health - something simply invaluable.
Stem cells, for 4 decades, have proven themselves to be effective in treating over 85 diseases, and the list of diseases is long. Also, a series of clinical trials are being conducted for the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of diseases such as Diabetes, Autism or Alzheimer's.
Their ability to self-regenerate has made stem cells a treatment option for COVID-19 as well, a test more than preserving them is a medical guarantee for your children.
The procedure of taking stem cells from the umbilical cord takes a few minutes, there is no risk to either the mother or the baby and it can be performed by any doctor. The only condition is that the umbilical cord material is collected only when the baby is born. Therefore, the decision to preserve the child's stem cells must be made in advance.
The moment the couple or mother makes the decision, Future Health Biobank provides them with a kit. Enough to take the kit with you when you go to give birth and the rest is up to the doctor. Your work ends here. A caesarean delivery at home or in the water does not affect or condition the collection and storage of stem cells at all.
Further, stem cells are placed in storage for more than 25 years, in the UK. If you need them at some point in your life, just ask for a withdrawal and shipping is possible right away, anywhere in the world.
