Cord blood, also known as placental blood, is the blood that remains in umbilical cord and placenta following a live birth. There are 3 sources of stem cells: umbilical cord blood, embryonic cells and bone marrow. Adult stem cells from bone marrow have limited uses while embryonic stem cell research is a major area of controversy. Umbilical cord blood stem cells are more proliferate and can be successfully substituted for embryonic stem cells in research and treatment.

Allergies and asthma are more than just a nuisance. My wife gets sick and requires doctor visits and prescription medications each time the season changes. A beautiful spring day will find her sneezing and coughing. Her eyes are swollen and red and her throat is scratchy. She maintains a haggard look until it passes and she looks forward to the next time. I used to have allergies as a child. I was constantly around farm animals. They made me sneeze and cough. My eyes hurt and my head hurt. To say I had a runny nose is a serious understatement. But I am convinced I have found the perfect solution.
