Umbilical cord blood from babies

That's not the complete title, it is weirder than that.
I just hope it is an actual treatment, of-course it'll cost more than your insurance plan will cover.
Every major hospital in every city should announce they need volunteers and start the test.
The thought of this working is just Fantastic.

Umbilical cord blood from babies could help bring back memory for dementia patients 

Exciting, isn't it?

Dementia patients have been offered hope that their memory could be repaired after scientists showed that injecting blood from the umbilical cords of human babies restores brain function.

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in the US discovered that cord blood contains an important protein which vanishes as humans get older.  It is believed the protein encourages neuroplasticity in the brain, allowing neurons to adapt and communicate more effectively.

When human cord blood was injected into elderly mice they performed far better in learning and memory tests and even started nesting again, gathering up cotton wads to make beds, an instinctive behaviour that is largely forgotten in old age.

[/url][url=https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/]Alzheimer’s Society head of research Dr James Pickett said: “Everyone experiences some decline in memory as they get older. The possibility that this process can be reversed by an infusion of young blood sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but this is what the study is beginning to show.”

“This study finds that a factor in human umbilical cord blood can enter the brain and restore some of the processes that are essential for forming new memories.”

there is much more to the article.

I read an article awhile back that said all the blood from the umbilical cord should be pushed up into the baby before cutting it. This will improve the baby's immune system, cognitive functioning, and just make a healthier, smarter baby.  They also said the mother should hold the baby next to her heart for the first couple of days. This creates a bond where the baby's heart stays in rhythm with the mother's heart.

Of course in today's hospitals, they don't do this. They clamp the cord and clip it as soon as the baby comes out, then rush it off to be "inspected". The mother gets to see her baby when feeding time rolls around.

A woman's womb is a marvel of miracles. Just take a look at this article:  Article Link

Dressings made from discs of human placenta are being used in NHS hospitals on victims of eye injuries – to save their sight.
The patches can be applied directly to the eyes of burns or trauma victims, reducing pain by up to 70 per cent and promoting wound-healing.
Experts say that the medical advance has ‘transformed’ the way such injuries are treated.

The placenta, above, can be turned into discs and used to help patients with eye wound in their recovery
The remarkable material, known as Omnigen, is made from amnion, which is part of the placenta and is the innermost layer of the sac that surrounds the baby in the womb.

This is normally a waste product of birth, but experts at the University of Nottingham have developed a method of screening, sterilising and then preserving donor tissue given by women who have an elective caesarean.

After trials in specialist hospitals around the UK, it will be available nationally from April.
Amnion contains growth factors and has natural healing properties. Since it is transparent, it can be applied directly to the cornea to promote healing.

The amnion once had to be frozen, which damaged the tissue and compromised its wound-healing properties. The Nottingham team has devised a way to preserve it so it can be kept in sealed packets at room temperature.

Omnigen is now available at about 40 UK hospitals, where surgeons stitch it to the eye.
The manufacturers, NuVision Biotherapies, have also launched a ‘contact lens’ version of the patch, called OmniLenz, which means Omnigen can be applied directly to the eye without the need for complex surgery.

What about that?

Great article Mystic Wanderer, Thanks!
