Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women’s Menstrual Blood

OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind — especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body — in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.
Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.
“C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way,” said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. “We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings.”

So what do you think about all of this? I know there are companies out there that will cryogenically freeze just about anything you provide them. People are bringing in DNA from their beloved favorite family pets — cats, dogs, birds, you name it… in hopes that they can be cloned in the future. I’m not saying this is on the same line, but it does involve cryogenic freezing. If you clone a pet you can make it look the same, but not have the same personality.
So freezing pets is strange enough to me. I could see Leona Helmsley paying for something like that if she had lived longer. (I guess willing billions to your dogs is more than enough, though.) I think I’ve also read that some people have chosen to be cryogenicly frozen when it is their time to go in hopes that in the future they can be revived. Weird stuff.
But this sounds odd, but people are doing similar things with the umbilical cord from babies when they are born. The cord holds stem cells that could be used in the future. The idea applies here, as “icky” as it might sounds. And seriously, I think most people would find an umbilical cord “icky”, but that seems more normal.
I don’t really know enough to comment. I don’t understand a lot of the science behind it. But hey, maybe it works.
