Background

Brain injury usually occurs when a sudden, blow to the head disrupts the normal function of the brain.

According to National Child Safety Expert and Safety Mom, Alison Rhodes:

"Kids are energetic and adventurous by nature, but it may come as a surprise to many moms that brain injury is the most frequent cause of disability and death among children in the United States, as more than 1 million children sustain brain injuries every year.

Research is showing, though, that stem cells from a baby's cord blood may play an important role in promoting the healing of nerve and brain cells as well as in treating other diseases."

Girl's Own Cord Blood Used to
Treat Her Brain Injury

Two months ago, Chloe received an infusion of her own stem cells because she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She could not crawl or raise both hands above her head. Her therapists say she's made a 50 percent recovery and can walk, run and do sign language with her previously non-functioning right hand.

"It's a miracle," said Dr. Manny Alvarez, FOX News medical correspondent and health editor. "Stem cells certainly can rejuvenate tissue."

Accidents Are a Fact of Daily Life

Nothing is more important than protecting your child. But you can't always be there and accidents happen everyday. Unfortunately, children fall out of their cribs or down stairs - sometimes resulting in traumatic brain injury. That is why CBR is leading the way in advancing regenerative medicine, the use of one's own stem cells to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue, by bringing leading-edge treatment options to CBR clients.

More than 1 million children sustain brain injuries every year
One of the highest risk groups is children ages 0-4 years-old

Previously, there's been no therapy that can repair damage to brain tissue. That's why the CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine has made this area of medicine a priority focus. Research is showing that stem cells from a baby's own cord blood may play an important role in inducing healing with nerve and brain cells. In fact, leading pediatric specialists in neurology suggest that a child who has access to his or her own cord blood stem cells may improve by receiving an infusion of those cells after the injury occurs.

We would like to hear from you, if you have a child who has cord blood stored with us and has been diagnosed with one of the following conditions:

Any type of brain injury from a fall or accident
Cerebral Palsy
Stroke
Brain injury resulting from lack of oxygen prior to or during birth (anoxia)

In addition, compelling research is exploring the use of a child's own cord blood for other conditions like hearing loss and type 1 diabetes.

Top Researcher Discusses Using Stem Cells to Repair Brain Damage:

	"Stem cell therapy can help the brain repair itself."
	"It's not science fiction anymore. I think it's very real."
