There is uniformity in the belief that stem cells will play a key role in fighting disease as we move into this century. Some scientists are confident that stem cells will launch a new era in medicine, perhaps even curing some of our most intractable diseases. The umbilical cord which, at birth, traditionally has been thrown away, contains a rich store of stem cells.

Cord Blood America, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, CorCell Companies Inc., and Cord Partners, Inc., markets a service to preserve the umbilical cord blood in a patented process for future use exclusively by the donating family. The collection takes less than five minutes, is painless, easy and non-invasive.

Cryogenically preserved umbilical cord stem cells have already been used to treat 75 major diseases, including leukemia, severe anemia, metabolic blood disorders and immune deficiencies. This list is guaranteed to grow as medical research learns more about the incredible healing power of stem cells.

Cord Blood America’s product is similar to an insurance policy, providing strong peace of mind. The preserved umbilical cord blood is saved specifically for the donating family.

Besides current uses, medical research is ongoing on how to use these cells to combat heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, sickle cell anemia, cancer and other difficult diseases to treat. Researchers postulate that the cells they remove from the umbilical cord blood can someday be turned into every single tissue in the body, making, for instance, the repair of a damaged heart possible, or facilitating recovery from a stroke by turning stem cells into brain cells.

Cord blood has proven to contain the kind of stem cells that can be turned into red blood cells and disease-fighting white blood cells. They also totally avoid all the controversies involved with stem cells from other sources such as embryonic stem cells.

What Cord Blood America offers is the proverbial once in a lifetime opportunity. You can’t give birth to the same child twice. That is why marketing, and education, is such an important factor in this sector. Cord Blood America has assembled an experienced marketing team second to none in the industry.

This is a growth industry: Only a few years ago, five percent of the four million women in the U.S. giving birth knew about preserving their umbilical cord blood and two percent of these took advantage of this life-saving procedure. The number of cord blood samples stored has since been growing by 75 percent a year, and more than five percent of all those giving birth now preserve the umbilical cord. Cord Blood America intends to be number one in educating about the advantages of these cord blood banking services and then to be the top performer in signing new families to utilize its services. The Company already had revenues topping $4.2 million in 2008
