The most unimportant thing becomes priceless

Have you ever thought that the menstrual blood can be used to save millions of lives? Have you ever thought that the menstrual blood can be saved for a better tomorrow? The power of imagination is very vast. But yes it is true that the menstrual blood cab be preserved to save lives. Recent experiments have shown that the blood is rich in stem cells. These stem cells have the power to regenerate. Hence they help produce white blood cells, red blood cell and platelets. Due the presence of stem cells in blood the menstrual blood is priceless. Though the blood has not yet been used on human but it has been tested on laboratories and animals. The day is not far away when menstrual blood will be used on human. In this article we will look into the wonders that can be done by stem cells.

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. Stem cell therapy is popular since more than a decade now. The therapy is popular in countries like USA, Italy, Germany, Denmark, UAE, Egypt, Russia, Greece and many other countries. The treatment which involves Stem cell therapy is painless, though it might be a little cost effective. Stem cells can cure more than 70 types on fatal diseases. 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 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 recent work of the scientists have shown that the stem cells in the menstrual blood can help to cure diseases like, acute leukemia, osteoporosis, spinal cord injury, strokes, burns, metabolic disorder and many more.

One of the best reasons to use the menstrual blood is that it does not involve any controversy. The stem cells in the umbilical cord blood contain several human embryos. If the same is used, few ethical groups are raising questions. Hence if the menstrual blood is used, such questions will not arise. The blood has not yet been tested to cure diseases. But very soon we will see that this blood rich in stem cells are showing wonders. The blood has not yet been tested to cure diseases. The disease of bone marrow transplantation requires the stem cells too. Hence we really cannot afford to throw the menstrual blood rich in stem cells by calling it a sanitary waste. The Stem cell therapies cure both cancerous and non cancerous patients. The treatment method is such that in a non cancerous case the dysfunctional marrow is destroyed with the most effective drugs. Then fresh set of stem cells are introduced in the body. On the other hand, in a cancerous case, we require to get rid of the bone marrow of cancer cells. Then healthy stem cells are transplanted, further normal cell production can resume.
