Why Bank Your Baby's Cord

A stem cell is the only cell in the body that is an unrestricted cell. Therefore, it can transform to a totally different cell. That is why it is known as the MASTER CELL. This means that if the body needs for it to become a red cell, a white cell, a nerve cell, a heart cell etc., it can possibly transform to that. Your baby’s cord blood is the purest most valuable source of stem cells; the building blocks of organ tissue, blood and immune systems. Cord blood stem cells, like bone marrow stem cells, are free of political and ethical debate. Today, cord blood stem cells are proven to treat over 70 life-threatening diseases.

Your baby's Cord blood is an EXACT MATCH, with NO RISK OF REJECTION. There is also a strong possibility that his/her siblings will be a match as well. This is important because clinical studies demonstrate that stem cell transplants are twice as successful when the stem cells come from a family member rather than from a non-relative (e.g., a public bank). Unlike companies that only preserve cord blood, ViaCord is the only institution that not only banks the cord blood they are the recognized leader on cord blood RESEARCH. Their scientists are the ones who are actively pioneering new, potentially lifesaving uses for cord blood stem cells.
