Reasons for Banking Cord Blood
You may have heard of the option of banking cord blood. This process involves the collection and storage of stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta. Why might it be beneficial to look into banking cord blood from your newborn child? The placenta and umbilical cord blood are the richest sources of stem cells. Because you will also be storing stem cells from the placenta, you get significantly more stem cells than from only banking cord blood. Thousands of stem cell transplants have been performed worldwide and have provided treatment for 80 known diseases, including some forms of cancer as well as immune system disorders.
