Okay, this may sound gross to some of you but I ran across this article on CNNMoney and I thought it was an interesting. I was skimming through the finance section and was surprised to find out about stem cell development using the woman’s menstrual blood! Yes! It’s nothing painful, no embryos being damaged and it may be controversial but not as much as the embryonic stem cell research. The procedure will allow treatment to diseases later in life if the preserved stem cells from menstrual blood is collected and kept in a cryogenic type of storage for later use.

Science is totally amazing and if you think about it, it was considered waste. There was nothing that we could come up with that would be pleasant about menstrual blood. Women hate it, and so do men (during certain periods he-he!!). But now, Science has come up with something very useful from something that we thought was useless.

Science and Technology has become very aggressive in the last decade or so in trying to find ways to sustain life, cure diseases and so forth.  There are moral issues as well and there was a big moral issue on embryonic stem cell research.  We have to have these boundaries in order for our scientists and researchers to look for other ways to cure the diseases they are trying to cure.  If there wasn’t a big cry against embryonic stem cell research, this may not have been found or looked into.

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.”
