New Book Takes New Look At Newborns’ Gift Of Life (NAPSA)—A new book points out that many scientists and clinicians are concentrating their ener- The Medical Promise of Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy for Many Brain, Eye, and Circulatory Diseases and Disorders gies on umbilical cord-derived stem cells from healthy babies. Recent research shows human umbilical cord stem cell therapy (hUCSCT) can help many conditions. “Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Ther- apy: The Gift of Healing from Healthy Newborns” by David Steenblock, M.S., D.O, and Anthony G. Payne, Ph.D. (Basic Health Publications, $24.95) explores this medical frontier, including current research, descriptions of how various conditions respond and the personal stories of many patients. The Steenblock Research Institute is at the forefront of the groundbreaking umbilical cord stem therapy research.

Multiple sclerosis In the book, Drs. Steenblock and Paynedescribe how scientists retrieve stem cells, expand their numbers and apply them to patients. The doctors explain what happens after a stem-cell treatment and what makes treatments more effective. A question-and-answersection tackles such frequently asked questions as: is the treatment safe, how quick are the results, whatis the cost, what are the preand post-treatments, does insurance cover the costs, what are side effects, what is the current status of FDA approval for stem cell therapy permitted in some coun- There is increasing evidence, the authors report, that relates aging and disease to lack of nor- mal stem cell growth and repair. A new area of study, they explain,is dedicated to exploring the ability to mobilize one’s own stem cells to help a body repair itself. Addition- ally, there are scientifically vali- dated ways of ensuring that stem cells are not compromised in terms of function or ability to mobilize in response to injury or disease.
