Okay, here’s a new one: did you know you can get stem cells out of menstrual blood? Yep, believe it or not, stem cell can now be harvested by way of your monthly visitor. There’s a service called C’ell that let’s you do what you’ve gotta do at home, yourself, fast and painless. You can go see their Celle Client Testimonial and decide for yourself, but I think it’s a great idea, if you can get past the social daintiness at the topic. The stem cells you harvest could do you or a close family member a huge favor by building a portfolio of stem cells now, in the hopes that they could someday serve as the basis for customized regenerative therapies against disease.
In honor of the launch of C’elle, they’re offering discount introductory prices for their services, one of those “for a limted time only” deals. If you really think about this, it’s kinda taking lemons and making lemonade, if you don’t mind the scary mental imagery. When we ladies aren’t heavey with the little bundles of joy, our periods are really good-for-nothing freeloaders, costing us hundreds of dollars a year and giving us nothing but grief, but maybe this way, your Aunt Flo might finally pull her weight. And maybe this is a way of harvesting stem cells that won’t upset anybody. Here’s the press release:
Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women’s Menstrual Blood
July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST
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.”
