Who would have thought??

I wonder what woman actually stopped to think about what positivity a woman's menstrual cycle could bring. It definitely wasn't me. I never stopped to think, "Hey, maybe Aunt Flo could save someone's life." Everyone knows that Stem Cell Research is the big, hot topic now a days. The controversy lies at where to collect stem cells from and it seems that one company has turned those hellish menstrual days into something that may one day save your very life. Who would have thought it. It is almost scary to think that one day, a scientist thought, "hey let's see what is going on in my menstrual secretion. Boom, a new research idea was born. I am leaving my opinion out of this and just sharing with you a new method of continuing medical research.

But you know, there are people that plant their left over placentas, so why not search in menstrual fluids for something that might save a life?

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."
