The Exciting Option of Cord Blood Banking
Stem cell research is a controversial subject for many members of the medical community. However, the LifebankUSA method of cord blood banking offers all the benefits of blood banking and stem cell treatment, but without the controversy. Using a patented process, LifebankUSA collects stem cells from the umbilical cord blood and the placenta, which an OBGYN collects immediately after a healthy birth. The stem cells (much more than the typical amount extracted from cord blood banking alone, because stem cells are also derived from the placenta) are cryogenically stored for future family use. Unlike traditional public blood banking, where blood may be accessible to anyone who needs it, stem cells from both placental and cord blood banking are reserved only for family use. Collecting and storing stem cells at birth is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could one day save a family member’s life.
