Your Newborn's Stem Cells Could Heal Them Years From Now
The type of stem cell matters. There's no question that cells taken from the blood of the placenta or umbilical cord immediately after a pregnancy are going to have the greatest capacity for therapeutic use. The therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cells does diminish with age.
In this brief, but important, episode, I want to talk about why banking stem cells could have a profound impact on health and longevity later in life. And while adults can bank stem cells, possibly the biggest opportunity is for parents to bank the stem cells of their newborn immediately after birth. This procedure, as I've often stated, can be done very safely and very ethically through the extraction of stem cells of the placenta, which is typically discarded anyway.
These cells can act as a master boot disc that could be used to re-install healthy cells in the case of certain types of diseases your child gets much later in life.
So whether you're planning on having children some day, or are just excited about the incredible possibilities of stem cell therapy, this is a quick listen you won't want to miss.
