We need the help of more people out there to open up the possibilities of stem cell therapy. Due to all of the controversy the government only allows a small amount to be done. We are very limited on the ability to combat certain diseases that could otherwise be cured. Cord Blood is one way that we can help ourselves and our closest family members until such time. Imagine the possibilties that we could overcome with such research!

I agree with Susan.PLEASE do research to help find a way to help parents with children with AUTISM (1 in 91 children) It is the biggest epidemic facing our babies. The numbers are growing!

Keep on going forward, I can’t wait for the day I can use my grand daughter cord blood that my eldest banked to help her sister 13 years who has Severe Cerebral Palsy. Her life deserves to be opened up to the possibilites.

I too hope for nerve cell regeneration research. My son was born with damaged optic nerves, one of the few body parts that doesn’t regenrate or repair itself.

Great news!!! It will be great if we can use the umbilical cord blood to save the life of another member of the family…example using my baby cord blood to help my nephew who has sickle cell disease.

Hopefully this will be beneficial to my son who is deaf. The hope is that one day they will be able to re-grow the hair cells in the ear using his banked cord blood!

I hope this is good news for children dealing with type 1 diabetes, as well. My son is a type 1 diabetic. He was diagnosed when he was 2, (now he’s 5). We banked his little sisters cord blood, for the hopes that one day there would be a cure for type 1 diabetes. And maybe even for my daugher. She was born with spina bifida and has some nerve damage. So maybe one day her own cord blood could help her as well.

This is really exciting news… I would love to find out if this could help regenerate cranial nerve cells in an effort to help patients with Moebius Syndrome.
