Curiously Awesome

It’s been awhile since I talked about C’elle, but I thought that since May is Stroke Awareness Month this would be an excellent time to revisit C’elle and the products and services they offer.

C’elle is a service that helps women collect and preserve stem cells from their monthly menstrual flow. These stem cells have amazing possibilities for healing, new techniques, and treatments for serious illnesses. Strokes are one such illness that stem cell therapy may be effective for treating.

Some quick talking points about strokes:

• Stroke is the top cause of disability in the US
• 100,000 young and middle-aged women will suffer strokes in 2009
• One third of these will be in women under 65

Adult stem cells harvested from bone marrow have been used to treat stroke victims. Research has also indicated that stem cells may be able to help repair damage done during a stroke. Harvesting bone marrow has its downsides, however. It happens to be an extremely painful procedure. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to collect stem cells from a monthly menstrual flow instead?

C’elle’s service is surprisingly affordable. When you really think about it, though…can we even put a price tag on something like this? Visit C’elle’s about page to get all the details and information you want about this company. Then visit their order now page to get yourself set up to begin collecting precious stem cells and ensuring the health of you and your family.

Baby shampoos, lotions and other toiletries may contain known carcinogens. Products that claim to be gentle and pure are contaminated with carcinogens, which is completely unnecessary.
48 baby bath products were analyzed for two known carcinogens (formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane) and 23 contained the first, 32 contained the second, and 11 contained both.

Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and Baby Magic lotion were the two biggest companies.

Both chemicals are classified as probable carcinogens by the Environmental Protection Agency, and 1,4-dioxane in lotions has been shown to penetrate human skin. The levels are relatively low. The problem is that small amounts of carcinogens are being found in many products. Many of these products are used every day so exposure is repeated and frequent.

Science has moved forward and the FDA needs to catch up and be given the authority to protect people’s health
