Dear Parents- to- be,

With this information package, we would like to inform you about the very valuable and precious cells from cord blood, stem cell storage, as a matter of prevention for your baby and members of the family. It is a safe idea to have the stem cells stored from the umbilical cord blood and tissue from your new-born. Of course we hope you will never need those cells, but consider it as a sort of biological insur-ance, just in case... As the only company, we do not only store stem cells from cord blood, but we do offer stem cell storage from other sources like teeth pulp, fat and bone marrow. We have developed patented methods for processing to treat patients with their own stem cells, mainly derived from bone marrow. In total, we have treated more than 7000 patients with our technology worldwide. You may find many examples on our website www.cells4health.com with sometimes heartbreaking patients stories. Surely, stem cells are not a medical cure, but can be very helpful in many clinical conditions to treat a variety of degenerative diseases effectively, where there is no alternative treatment left. On daily basis, we observe the results of our treatments and therefore we are passionate about stem cells and about what we are doing.

For this reason, we invite you to join us today for a well informed and visionary decision, namely to store the stem cells from the cord blood & cord tissue of your newborn.

Cells4health

Cells4health offers family stem cell banking for prevention and therapies with adult stem cells from your own body whenever classical treatment fails in order to help you in the best possible way we can.

Daily we observe the results. For this reason, we are passionate about what we are doing.

Passionate about what we are doing...

Healing potential of stem cellsStem cells starting small... No matter how big a human becomes, it all began with 2 single cells: an ovum and a sperm cell. This means that cells exist, which have the potential to form a complete human being. After a few days in the womb, the blastocyst forms. The cells contained in it are called embryonic stem cells. which are still very unspecialized and form all of the 220 human cell types. As soon as the human's development is completed, these former all-arounders will have changed into mature, differen-tiated cells, taking over a specific functions e.g. muscle cells which contract.

Getting big... However, skin renews itself throughout adulthood. Injuries heal and hair grows. We have cells which are very unspe-cialized, can divide often, helping our bodies to regenerate and repair themselves; called adult stem cells. If body tissue is dama-ged, stem cells hunt for the damaged area and advance the process of healing. Also, day-to-day processes in the human body rely on stem cells: our erythrocytes only live for about 120 days, by which time they have become too old, cannot transport enough oxygen and have to be replaced. This task is taken over by the hematopoietic stem cells, which can be found in the bone marrow.

Often stem cells do not arrive in sufficient numbers or may even fail to arrive at all because the artery is blocked. The damaged area then only heals slowly or not at all. Some diseases develop covertly and are not recognized as being in need of repair. Adult stem cells also age. They have much higher regeneration potential than somatic cells, but it seems that this potential is exhausted after some time. This process cannot be stopped. However, with the help of modern medicine, it is possible to extract stem cells from the body, concentrate them and then apply them to the diseased area. In many cases, the physiological healing process can in this way be enhanced.

Cord blood stem cell storage

Why store your baby's

cells?

Page 7: HealthBaby Infopack

A safe idea to store! For parents with vision...

Cord blood: a rich source of valuable stem cells...Stem cells It is a forward-thinking decision to have stem cells harvested from the blood in the umbilical cord stored for future use. Stem cells are already revolutionizing medical treatment practices today. Leukemia and other blood disorders are being treated with stem cells and daily we are whitnesses of an increasing number of success stories of stem cell treatments that are truly ama-zing. In modern medicine stem cells will play an important role.

Umbilical cord stem cells The younger the stem cells, the more vital and potent they are. As expecting parents you now have the once in a lifetime opportunity to have the adult stem cells of your children isolated from the umbilical cord blood and the cord itself and have both of them stored. The procedure itself is uncomplicated and free of any risk or any pain for mother and child.

Teeth: a rich source of valuable stem cells...HealthTeeth Teeth pulp stem cell storage

Stem cells from teeth pulp Normally exfoliated (naturally fallen out) baby teeth, healthy wisdom teeth and permanent teeth extrac-ted for orthodontic purposes all contain dental pulp. Dental pulp contains unique stem cells that have the ability to regenerate and develop into many different kinds of cells. These stem cells can potentially be used to replace diseased and damaged tissues in the body without rejection.

Fat tissue: a rich source of valuable stem cells...HealthFat Adipose stem cell storage

Fat tissue Fat tissue contains mainly mesenchymal stem cells in high quantities, which are supposed to play a major role in the regeneration of all organs and tissues inside the body.

HealthFat Cells are taken from fat of the belly, or the hips. It is done under local anaesthesia and takes about 15 minutes. The col-lection is almost painless and is not associated with medical risks.

Bone Marrow: a rich source of valuable stem cells...HealthPeople Bone marrow storage

Stem cells Your own bone marrow contains many valuable and different types of stem cells. Most of the cells are hematopoietic cells, among mesenchymal cells. The mesenchymal cells are relevant for the regeneration of variuous tissues inside the body, whereas the hematopoietic cells reconstitute the blood. However, a part of the "active" ingredients of a bone marrow cell concen-trate is also various growth factors, neurotropic factors and interleukins, which are present in relatively high concentrations.

Bone marrow extraction Bone marrow is extracted from the hip bone by one of our physicians under local anaesthesia. This pro-cedure normally takes around 30 minutes and is without risks.

Anti-aging

Looknaturallyyounger

Page 15: HealthBaby Infopack

To feel better and to look younger...

FeelFit and LookFit: 2 different anti-aging treatmentsFeelFit These cells rejuvenate your entire body and after the injection into the blood stream one feels really fit. Many people report a long lasting surplus of energy. Exactly what one needs by getting older. The procedure is easy and non invasive. Under local anesthesia one of our experienced doctors collects the bone marrow from your hip bone in about 20 -30 minutes. After processing in our laboratory, two days later the cells will be injected by intravenous infusion.

LookFit As we get older we still want to remain a youthful look. For this purpose We offer you a very natural product, namely your own cells from fat tissue, "LookFit". Stem cells derived from fat tissue posses ideal properties to achieve exactly these results. By injecting those stem cells combined with some fat tissue into the areas of the face with wrinkles, a soft remodelling of the face is possible wit-hout loosing the characteristics of your own face. So there is no risk to obtain "the hard lines", as often seen with botox treatments. "LookFit" stem cell treatment with fat stem cells for the face is a unique way of getting younger, with long lasting effects, but without chemicals. "LookFit" cells are taken from fat of the belly, or the hips. It is done under local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes. Two days later our cosmetic surgeon will transplant the cells with a tiny needle. So the treatment is almost painless and without risks.

When classical therapy fails...

Stem cell treatment: Improving the quality of life...Stem Cell Therapy Until the end of our lives, we have cells which are very unspecialized, can divide often, helping our bodies to regenerate and repair themselves. These cells are called adult stem cells. To date, adult stem cells have been found in nearly every body tissue (e.g. skin, brain, (umbilical cord) blood, liver, fat, teeth and bone marrow). So stem cells play a big role in our regenerati-on and healing processes. After application of your own cells at the injured or damaged sites, your natural healing capabilities are restored and activated. We usually take bone marrow as a rich and valuable source of adult stem cells.

Bone marrow extraction Bone marrow is extracted from the hip bone by one of our physicians under local anaesthesia. This procedure normally takes around 30 minutes.
