Sanitary blood turns fatal

Menstrual blood is one such type of blood, which is rich in stem cells. The stem cells are self renewing in nature. If the blood from a women’s body, which is thrown away a sanitary waste, is collected, preserved, it can be utilized to save millions of lives. These stem cells are used to cure more than 70 types on diseases. Cell therapies are curing the diseases in the best possible way. The cell that is found in all multi cellular organisms is called stem cells. These stem cells are of two kinds, they are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The specialty of the stem cells is that it renews the white blood cells. It renews itself as it has the capability to undergo numerous cycles of cell division.

The best form of stem cells is available in the menstrual blood. Stem cells are remarkable in nature. The main function of the stem cells is that it builds the bridge between the fertilized eggs which original exists and the architecture that we build. The menstrual blood was generally considered as a sanitary waste. But today different researches have shown that menstrual blood is more a waste. The blood is rich in stem cell, which can renew itself. As it can renew the white blood cells it can cure severe diseases too. Hence, it is better to store the menstrual blood for our own future. The blood cures diseases like leukemia, osteoporosis, spinal cord injury, strokes, burns, metabolic disorder and many more.

Stem cord supplies the cell that constructs the adult body. There have been few debates and controversies in using the stem cells between scientists and ethical groups. The usage of the stem cell technology is been opposed by the ethical groups as they say that it involves destruction of living human embryos. Moreover, scientists have proved that the menstrual blood rich in stem cells may be used for several diseases. The stem cells in the menstrual blood has the capability to replenish and renew worn out, damaged or even diseased tissues. The blood containing stem cells may be used to test few new drugs too. Stem cells are used to replace tissues and organs as well. Few diseases, which can be cured by stem cells, are acute leukemia, osteoporosis, spinal cord injury, strokes, burns, metabolic disorder and many more.

There has been few controversy is using the embryo stem cell by some ethical groups. This is because it uses the human embryo. But usage of the menstrual blood will not give rise to such complications. Recent researches will also allow preserving the menstrual blood for future use. The blood has not yet been tested to cure diseases. But it is surely to be used in the coming years. The menstrual blood is rich in stem cells which has a high capacity to renew the white blood cells. In the case of bone marrow the white blood cells need to be regenerated. Hence, the blood rich in stem cells helps to cure the disease.
