Think Pink!



Sadly, everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Whether it is a personal struggle, a family member’s journey or a close friend’s path toward survival, we all know someone.

Cryo-Cell International, Inc is partnering with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore the potential utilization of menstrual stem cells to treat breast cancer. The partnership is underway to better understand the C’elle stem cells and their potential benefit for the treatment of breast cancer.

At C’elle, they are taking strides to help in the fight against breast cancer. They have a research partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, where research is underway to better understand the C’elle stem cells and their potential benefit for the treatment of breast cancer.

Industry experts anticipate that C’elle stem cells will be the next great frontier for diagnostic and regenerative medicine as well. According to the American Cancer Society, there are 2.5 million breast cancer patients and survivors today, and an estimated one in eight women will be stricken with this disease at some point in her life.

There is so much to think about when planning for a new baby. In these trying economic times it can be especially difficult to weigh your choices and balance the family budget. Because they believe nothing is more important than protecting your baby's future, Cryo-Cell is helping families like yours ease their financial burden.

What a great opportunity to take steps towards a potential cure and work to fight breast cancer worldwide. Together, we all can make strides to protect and improve the health of women everywhere.

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Cryo-Cell is offering contributions to the Susan B. Komen Foundation. $50 for each purchase of the “Protect Baby, Protect Mom” service and $25 for each purchase of the “C’elle Menstrual Stem Cell” service.

Tragedy in Texas



My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims of the terrible shooting at Fort Hood. It's incomprehensible that one of our own would go on a murderous spree and kill his own brothers and sisters in the military. These men and women who have fought to protect and serve our country, who have shown bravery and pride, shot down by a fellow Army soldier. It's just beyond belief. My heart is breaking for all of these families.

I fear for my son. He enlisted last month in the Army. He is scheduled to leave for basic training in January. He could have been one of these victims. He could still. His life may be on the line countless times in places I've never seen and probably never will. He will have to be strong and brave and fierce, all things I hope his father and I have taught him to be. Every second he is gone I will worry and pray and wait to hear from him. I ask all of you to please say a prayer for him as well. I have a strong faith in God and all I can do is pray that He will keep my son safe and bring him back to me when his tour is done.

For all of us, I pray that your families are safe and I remind you to love one another every single day. For the families of the fallen in Fort Hood, God Bless, my prayers are with you.
