Protecting Their Future with Cyro-Cell

Photobucket

My kids mean the world to me and I will do everything I can to keep them safe. I wish that when they were born, I had known about saving their cord blood. Cord blood is known to treat over 70 different diseases. I don’t know if it was an option when my kids were born, 28 and 24 years ago. I would have liked to have had the option of saving their cord blood in case, heaven forbid; they ever get seriously sick or are diagnosed with a disease.

Cyro-Cell is trying to get the word out about this process. Please, don’t confuse this process with the gathering of embryonic stem cells. This process is of no threat to babies.

Read the following testimonial to see how one woman feels about the totally painless process of banking cord blood. She says it so much more eloquently than I ever could.

“My children are the most precious gifts that I will ever have and I want to do everything I can to make sure they are well. While I was pregnant with my first child, I would see articles and ads about cord blood and it bothered me that it was so expensive but what if I one day needed this blood. The reality of having only one chance or it really went in the garbage kept me wondering if I would regret not investing. What if he had cancer or his dad or I were sick, would that blood have been the cure? Through research, I came across Cryo-Cell International, Inc., a company with the most reasonable rates and the assurance of two holding facilities.

When I was pregnant with my second child, we wondered if one bank was enough? Finances were tighter and should we spend the money? Then we realized that his brothers blood might not match for the new baby. The next day, stories were breaking about how Cord blood had saved or changed the lives of children, one cancer, one cerebral palsy. Then we discovered that a friend was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. He didn’t bank his daughters blood and wished he had. Three years prior, I lost a friend to renal cancer when she was 29. We felt like it was our answer.

We are just beginning to see miracles that this blood can bring. We have two “life insurance policies”, that is how we look at it. If anyone in the family gets ill, there is a chance that the blood could save our lives. If we don’t use it, then it is there for our son’s children.”

Sincerely,
mother of Parker and Davis

Living with Rheumatoid Arthiritis

As we age, we often find that our bodies work against us. I know how important exercise is to my health. I have to do impact exercises to keep my bones strong. Impact exercises are those where your feet hit the ground. I don’t know how it works but somehow it makes the bones stronger.

There are some things that even exercise cannot cure. Exercise can help RA but not cure it. There are different treatments for Rheumatoid Arthiritis. Different treatments work better for different people. That is why it is important not to give up if the first one you try doesn’t help. When fatigue sets in, it is difficult to feel like getting out of bed let alone making another doctor’s appointment. It is important to NOT GIVE UP.

For myself, I have heard awful things about Prednisone and less about Celebrex. The commercials make it sound like you totally get your life back when you try THEIR medication. We have to use good judgement and understand that the pharmaceutical companies need to make money. If I were to make a commercial about any type of medication, I would present the facts and remind the patient to do their homework and talk to their doctor. I would not put it on television but would list it in a magazine where it could be studied.

Do you find that a certain medication has helped you. I would be interested in hearing your story.

Michelle Obama’s Arms Get Attention

Now I have even more incentive to do more cardio type exercising. I have got to get on the move so I can have arms as shapely as Michelle Obama! My first thought is to start exercising my arms but trainers state that arm exercises alone are not enough to get toned arms. I know that spot reducing does not work. You must get rid of body fat from the entire body. Ugh.

Maybe I shouldn’t have sold my Wii Fit. Using dumbbells (five pounds or more) and doing 12 to 15 of each exercise — bicep curls, tricep kickbacks to exercise the back of the arm, shoulder and lateral raises should do the trick. Those exercises along with the cardio already mentioned are the key to great arms like Michelle’s.

Body Care Products for Expectant Moms

One of the most important events in my life was when my children were born. Talk about life changing! I was amazed at how good I felt during my pregnancies. I think that might have been due to the fact that I took very good care of my body while I was pregnant. You might already know that everything you do to your body, like what you eat, getting rest and exercising affects your unborn child. Using products made with natural and herbal ingredients is important to your health and the well-being of your unborn child.

Having a Baby?

How many times have you wished that someone would find a cure for all those diseases which rob us of the best life has to offer? So many tragedies invade our lives as we know of someone else who is stricken with cancer or dementia. We want to stomp our foot and cry foul. Life is just not fair at times. We may not be able to solve life’s problems in one swoop but we can be proactive about our health.

We have new information concerning saving cord blood through the Cryo-Cell Cord Blood Bank and how it can be used to treat over 75 diseases. Umbilical cord blood holds stem cells that have been used in thousands of transplants!

If you are pregnant or know of someone who is, please tell them about this technology and have them enroll now in the Cyro-Cell program. If they sign up and deliver by February 28th, (special arrangement have been made to speed the kit to you at no additional charge), they will receive these special offers:

UCORD $300 off, Protect Baby, Protect Mom $400 off

The simple act of collecting cord blood may hold the key to saving your child’s or another family member’s life.
