Benefits Of Cord Blood Banking
Copyright 2006 Alvin Toh
If you are pregnant, you probably have received information about cord blood banking. This is an opportunity for you to bank your child's umbilical cord blood. When cord blood is banked, it is stored so that at a later time, it can be used when needed.
There are several key reasons why anyone should consider cord blood banking.
Cord blood contains very important cells that can help to grow a healthy immune system for someone who has fallen ill.
Not only can this cord blood be used for your child, but for others that have the same type of blood and tissue.
Although cord blood banking is expensive when done privately, it can be life saving and this is often the reason to consider it.
Cord blood stem cells can be used to treat diseases and conditions such as leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, anemia, sickle cell disease, inherited red cell abnormality, lymphoma, plasma cell disorder, neuroblastoma and myeloma. Today, there are over 75 different diseases, immune deficiencies and other conditions that are treated with cord blood successfully. With the advancement of stem cell research, there is likely to be more uses for cord blood in the future.
If there is a family medical history or your child has a predisposition to any of these diseases, you should seriously consider cord blood banking. Parents of children of ethnic or racial minorities and children conceived through in vitro fetilization are encouraged to bank cord blood as it is more difficult to find bone marrow match in these cases. Only 50% of people that need a bone marrow or stem cell transplant are likely to find a suitable donor to provide it.
There are two ways to store your baby's cord blood.
If you choose public cord blood banking, your baby's blood is taken from the umbilical cord, stored cryogenically and can be used by anyone that is in need of it.
However, cord blood that is stored in a private bank can only be used for your child or other family members when required.
The cord blood banking process can be costly for a private storage facility, starting at $2000 but the protection that it offers far outweighs the costs.
In addition, many families find that this is an ideal way to protect the child as well as other family members from potentially fatal diseases or conditions. The ongoing stem cell research for treatment of diseases is promising. Cord blood stem cells offer great potential for treating more auto-immune and degenerative diseases.
Banking cord blood can provide medical insurance for your child or other family members now and in the future.
There are still not enough cord blood donations taking place that will provide for the necessary help needed to cure conditions like cancer and leukemia.
Yet, with more people considering cord blood banking, whether privately or publicly, it is likely that more miracles can happen. Through better education, more parents will see the true benefits of cord blood banking.

Diabetes Awareness: Wake Up Call
When traveling on out-of-town business, its common to have the hotel front desk give you a wake-up call in the morning.
You want to avoid the embarrassment and repercussions of being late for your business appointments. Here is an important wake-up call for your life and the lives of the people you most care about. If you want to avoid the life damaging effects of diabetes, take 3 minutes to read the remainder of this article right now. The new buzz in the medical community calls it- "Pre-Diabetes".
Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected and untreated, progresses into full-blown diabetes. The challenge with pre-diabetes is the fact that the condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms.

How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
I'm always amazed at how many people seem to know the answer tothis question yet in practice they fail. Everybody I've talked toseems to know that 8-12 glasses of water a day is the recommended standard. But if I ask them how many glasses of water have you consumed today? The answer is usually none. Or the other standard answer at a corporate environment "does coffee count?"While 8-12 glasses of water is great for the average sedentary person, many of us are fitness conscious or on the pursuit of some type of bodybuilding physique. With that in mind, I think the new standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.As a bodybuilder, you are putting much more nutrients, food, supplements, and other stuff into your body.
What your body does not use, it must rid itself of by any means necessary. Usually it does this via water. So drinking plenty of water becomes a necessity. Increasing protein puts a strain on your body and drinking lots of water can keep things "moving." Creatine...

Off the Wall and On Target: This Advertising Genius Scores
(ContentDesk) January 1, 2006 -- Actually, Devi DeLavie is not a new kid in any sense of the word. Hes been into media, performing and visual arts for more than four decades.
And hes hardly on the same block as Madison Avenue. Hes nestled quietly away in the cool pines of Northern Arizona.
His growing display of wmv files of TV spots includes chickens doing a Hyundai ad, and a visually rustic ad for DCI (a Pharmaceutical Company) that was specifically targeted toward the college crowd of NAU in Flagstaff, Arizona, trying to convince them to sell their plasma. The DCI spot, explains Mr.
Delavie Caused quite a commotion.
Parents were noticing that their teens had memorized the words and were singing this spot throughout the day.
I later learned that the Communications Department at NAU was using it as a demonstration of target marketing.
I couldnt keep from asking about what appears to be really poor video quality in spots.

Home Entertainment At Its Best--Your Private Home Theater
You LOVE watching movies, but don't always have the time to roundup the family and journey to the local theater, or can afford to shell out the money for the cost of the tickets and the criminally priced greasy popcorn. So, you often resort to renting videos from your local store, but watching them on your 27" TV just doesn't quite have the same impact. Not only is the picture quality awful, the sound is even worse through those 4" speakers in your TV set. You've been hearing a lot about "Home Theater", and both your neighbor and your brother-in-law have the huge, new, big screen TVs, powerful surround receivers, and gargantuan speakers to shake the entire house. The kids are begging for a similar system, but your spouse is saying "no" to remodeling the front room for a wall full of techno gadgets.
So, how do you keep everyone happy? Perhaps the answer lies in a home theater system. Whether you are considering a home theater-in-a-box for $200, or are adding a entire room to house...

Why Bad Credit People Pay Higher Rates
Why Bad Credit People Pay Higher RatesbyLet's face it. People with credit problems pay higher rates for the same reason people pay higher auto insurance premiums - risk.

Because the traffic ticket has created an emerging pattern of risk. If you got one traffic ticket, the chances of receiving another one are now greater than when you had no tickets. <...
