Banking Your Cells

Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells. All of our cells have a particular life span. Some last longer than others, but all living cells eventually die. In youth, we are blessed with a lot of stem cells around our various organs and tissues. So, as cells age and die or sustain injury, this signals the stem cells to turn on and replace the dying or injured cells. Eventually, our organs run out of these stem cells and we’re dependent on receiving them from other areas, such as the bone marrow or we simply heal a wound with other cells that form scar tissue instead of the needed organ cells. As we age, our bodies produce fewer and fewer of these cells and, of course, it eventually becomes impossible to keep up with our decline in natural cell death. Eventually, no matter how healthy you are, you run out of enough functioning cells to sustain your vital organs and you can no longer sustain life. Thus, a possible key to prolonged healthy living may be in cell renewal therapy (CRT) using your own stem cells to keep body parts and vital organs properly functioning.

Stem cells reside in large numbers within our fat. Instead of leaving your stem cells in your body’s fat compartments, now you can release and preserve them for more essential needs – like staying healthy. Cells on Ice, can provide this very option to anyone that has at least one ounce of fat (just 2 tablespoons) to spare. From this small amount of fat you can extract 10 to 30 million stem cells. You can also use unwanted fat following cosmetic liposuction procedures rather than throwing it out. Our technology allows you to extract your own stem cells from the fat and save them for a rainy day in a very deep freeze. This Cryo (meaning to freeze) banking is done by storing your cells at -190°C in liquid nitrogen. This absolutely preserves the cells and has been done successfully for years with sperm, eggs, embryos, and more recently, umbilical cord blood and tissue.
