I have posted several times before about LifebankUSA and how they are the only company with proprietary technology offering placenta blood banking with cord blood banking to expectant parents.

Stem cells in cord blood have transformative potential and have been used to treat over 30,000 patients worldwide. Banking the most stem cells can be critical and only through banking both cord and placenta blood do you have this opportunity.

Every day, parents are choosing to bank their child’s cord blood because they know these powerful cells could one day be used to save a close family member’s life. Parents choose to also bank placenta blood with LifebankUSA to make their cord blood collection even more powerful, providing them with even greater peace of mind.

Only LifebankUSA offers expectant parents the unique opportunity to bank stem cells from cord blood and placenta blood. Banking placenta blood stem cells makes your cord blood collection even more powerful for the near-term and for the future. It gives you the ability to bank more stem cells which has been shown to increase transplant success and survival rates. And placenta blood contains other types of progenitor stem cells which are expected to play a key role in regenerative medicine.

LifebankUSA Peace of Mind Facebook Contest

*This post is brought to you by LifebankUSA. All opinions are mine.*

Do you want a greater peace of mind for your child's health? 

Don't all parents?!

Well, then let me re-introduce you to LifebankUSA, the only company that offers cord blood, placenta blood, and tissue banking — providing greater peace of mind for your child’s health. 

Placenta tissue banking is a potential game changer in regenerative medicine.

LifebankUSA, owned by Celgene Corporation, is the only cord blood bank processing material for FDA-approved clinical trials using stem cells from placental tissue. These stem cells are being used to treat patients with serious conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers. LifebankUSA preserves your baby’s placental tissue using the same steps taken for processing stem cells for our FDA-approved clinical trials. No other cord blood company can claim that. Tissue banking is simply one additional layer of protection and peace of mind for you and your family offered by LifebankUSA.

As you know, the stem cells in cord blood have transformative potential and have been used to treat over 30,000 patients worldwide. It’s been shown that using a higher number of stem cells in a transplant leads to better engraftment and survival. Did you know that you can preserve significantly MORE of your baby’s stem cells by adding placenta blood banking to your cord blood collection?

Banking the most stem cells can be critical and only through banking both cord and placenta blood do you have this opportunity. Numerous studies published in top medical journals have shown that transplanting more stem cells significantly increases success and transplant survival rates. In fact, customers who bank placenta blood in addition to cord blood with LifebankUSA preserve 60%-70% more CD34+ stem cells – the cells that are the most important for rebuilding diseased blood with healthy blood.

Only LifebankUSA has the proprietary technology to offer placenta blood banking with cord blood
banking to expectant parents. They are also the only company in the world to release placenta stem cell units for transplant.

On top of all their great features, they are offering a great Facebook contest, the LifebankUSA Peace of Mind Uniden Lullabo Video Baby Monitor giveaway.

Grocery Goodness Giveaway from McCain Potatoes

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One big lesson I learned from my parents when growing up is to always sit down as a family for dinner at night! Some of my greatest memories are all TEN of my family members sitting down around our big table, enjoying my mom's delicious meals, and talking about our day or what was going on in our lives! I want that for my family too!

But all too often in this day and age of chaos, multiple sports a season, and overtime work, mealtime sometimes becomes a rush of what is fastest to make and least nutritious for the family. So what is fast, nutritious and something the whole family will enjoy? With their honest ingredients and irresistible taste, McCain potatoes are an easy choice.

And I am excited to share that McCain Potatoes is running a Facebook Contest where they will select 1 winner each week (8 winners total) to receive a $500 grocery store gift card! Contestants can also check out the Grocery Goodness Giveaway tab for to receive a $1 off coupon off any 1 bag of McCain Potato products!

"Load up on groceries your family loves, and bring naturally good moments to the dinner table every time you serve McCain Potatoes."

* I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for McCain Foods. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.*
