Cryocell Cord Blood Can Save Lives

Cryocell cord blood banking is a process of banking umbilical cord blood cryogenic-ally for future use. There are many purposes for banking the blood for current use and based upon the science behind this process, there may be more that can will be able to be done in the future. The science that offers the banking of cord blood is also conducting many studies for many other cures.

Over the last 15 years, the technology and science behind cord blood banking has become increasingly popular with the break through that the banked blood and its parts can be used to help treat a variety of illnesses and diseases that attack the immune system. The cord blood is harvested from a baby's umbilical cord right after delivery. This blood is rich with nutrients that has fed the baby for nine months and also is full of crucial and unaltered blood molecules. This blood is then sent to the appropriate laboratories and cryogenic-ally saved for future uses and needs of the patient.

The banking process of cryocell cord blood is a fairly simple process and each company will detail each step. The cord blood is the immediately available for future use, if needed by the specific child or a blood relative. There is a one in four chance that the banked blood will be a match for the needs of a sibling.

Cryocell cord blood has a record of curing cases of leukemia and other disorders that attack the immune system. The cord blood, which is unhindered by the initial illness, can help quickly heal the body after appropriate treatments. There is also a lower percentage of rejection of cord blood over donated blood from other sources. The labs located withing the Cryo-cell companies, believe that the umbilical cord blood can also prove to be helpful in treating spinal cord injuries and regenerating tissues within the body.

Although the science and reasoning seem cut and dry, some groups within our culture are concerned about the use of the stem cells within the cord blood and the possible uses that they will have.  There is a large debate that the cryocell cord blood is involved in, and at times, it is a heated debate.

However these amazing sciences are available to change and save lives.  There is no price that any family can place on that ability, especially to save the life of a child.
