Cord Blood Storage: The New Biological Insurance
Financial help is a necessity under certain circumstances these days, when anything can happen at anytime. So for this reason, many individuals invest in one or more insurance policies to protect themselves in the case of emergency. There are many different types, from car and home insurance (for accidents, theft, fires), to health insurance (for medical). If we already have a society that is involved with insurance on a multitude of levels, why not

Couple Travels to China to Remedy Inherited Brain Disorder
Convinced that Chinese doctors have discovered the secret promise of stem-cell therapy, a couple from New Brunswick is setting out on a journey of hope to the Far East.
Other Canadians as well as Americans have traveled to China for the adult stem cell treatments designed to help those with crippling diseases. J.C. and Cherie of Oromocto will now follow the same path.
Causing deterioration in the region of the brain responsible for muscles and movements, J.C. has a hereditary brain disorder called Machado Joseph Disease. For the 39 year old man, there is no known cure.
Speaking and walking are difficult for J.C., and with unbalanced steps and slurred speech, some people think he is drunk when he goes out with their three children says Cherie.
“At first, it progressed slowly,” Cherie says of the disease, looking fondly at J.C. in their cozy, rural New Brunswick home.
“But then in the last two years it has been bad. I think in the next couple of years if we don’t get this treatment, then he could require 24-hour care. We’re grateful this treatment is out there. We’re excited.”
In late April, the couple will arrive in Shenzhen, China, where they will spend a month of their lives. At the clinic, doctors will inject stem cells into J.C.

Thai Hospital Helps American Man’s Heart with Adult Stem Cell Procedure
Bill was running out of time. He owned 126 different timepieces, he was in a sense, a time collector. But ironically enough, he was losing the very thing he spent his life trying to gather.
Bill only had a year to live according to his cardiologist. That was 7 months ago. His 77-year-old body had been through enough after he suffered damaged tissues and blood vessels in three-quarters of his heart due to three separate heart attacks over the past 15 years. The damage was supposedly irreversible.
“My heart looked like a moon just coming up over the horizon,” he said. “Most of my heart was dead.”
Performing even the most uncomplicated tasks became almost impossible because breathing became so difficult for Bill.
“Going to the barn or even across a room was so hard I had to sit down,” he said. “I couldn’t think real good and I was so weak.”
Then one day, Bill

Ball State Student Regains Sensation After Stem Cell Therapy
When you hear about an award-winning body builder, a mini-marathon winner, and an intramural basketball player, an image of an out standing athlete comes to mind. But how about an outstanding athlete who cannot walk? The 20-year-old Jeff, can claim all of the aforementioned accolades, but there is just one thing; his legs are paralyzed. Now, he is as mentally and physically strong as ever after a car accident left him without the use of his legs two years ago. Jeff plans to attend medical school and become a radiologist. He is currently a sophomore at Ball State University and is majoring in chemistry and exercise science.
“I really don’t want to die like this.” – Jeff
In order to meet his curfew, Jeff left his friends house at midnight on May 21st, 2005. He had about 10 minutes to get back to his parents home in Selma, and his friend lived near the YMCA in Northwest Muncie. He drove in the middle of the narrow back roads, something he did on most nights. The drive home was always uneventful, but not this time. Jeff saw another car coming from the opposite direction as he reached the peak of a hill.
“I swerved off the road to the right and then tried to correct to get back on the road, but I over-corrected and it sent my car over off to the other side into some trees,” he said.
With his car stopped, his cell phone had fallen to the passenger side floor. As Jeff reached over for it so he could call for help, he realized that he couldn
