    Is Cord Blood Banking Worth It? Ft. Parents' Guide to Cord Blood Founder Dr. Frances Verter

    In this episode, we explore cord blood banking with Dr. Frances Verter, founder of Parents' Guide to Cord Blood, a non-profit organization in the cord blood space and the most complete database of cord blood banks, both family and public. We discuss how her daughter, Shai's encounter with childhood cancer, led Dr. Verter to pursue a career in cord blood banking. Dr. Verter also shares how she compiles all of her cord blood case studies for the PGCB database, highlighting the inspiring story of Mason, a young boy with osteopetrosis who received a cord blood transplant, demonstrating the real-life impact of these medical advancements. We also discuss the latest advancements in umbilical cord and placenta stem cell therapies, highlighting their applications in oncology and infertility. The conversation reveals striking international differences in cord blood banking rates, shaped by cultural attitudes and government incentives, particularly in countries like Singapore and China. Additionally, we tackle the role of media in shaping public perceptions of cord blood banking, especially in light of a critical New York Times article that has created confusion among parents about safety and efficacy. Dr. Verter emphasizes the importance of accurate information in combating misinformation that can erode public trust. We conclude by advocating for more accessible options for parents within the cord blood banking industry, addressing the challenges of cost and availability.

    How Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells Saved 2 Sons: Why It's Important to Save Stem Cells

    Today, we're chatting with Theresa La Rue, a mother of four sons, three of whom were diagnosed with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP). In this episode, she shares the remarkable story of her sons, Blayke and Garrett, who were among the first patients to receive pioneering cord blood transplants at UCLA—a procedure so new that Blayke's transplant marked one of the first 200 globally. Theresa recounts her family's harrowing journey, from the heartbreaking loss of their son Layne to XLP to the overwhelming hope of finding life-saving cord blood donors for both Blayke and Garrett. Despite the odds, Blayke’s transplant from umbilical cord blood was successful, and Garrett was fortunate enough to receive two potential donor matches. The family’s experience added 6,400 names to the national bone marrow registry. We discuss how cord blood played a pivotal role in their recovery, advancements in cord blood research, and how one of her sons has even banked cord blood for his own child. Theresa’s story is a testament to the lifesaving power of cord blood banking and what every parent should know about its potential.
