ONE DAY, THE TOOTH FAIRY COULD SAVE YOUR CHILD’S LIFE!
Press Release for Launch 12noon 5th June 2007
Saving your child's tooth cells might be "the greatest gift they ever receive"
Since the regenerative powers of stem cells were first discovered, controversy about the morality of methods in which they are obtained, has dominated the issue. Now BioEDEN is bringing to Europe a totally new way of isolating stem cells – from children’s naturally shed baby teeth.
Says David James, BChD, CEO of BioEDEN: “Stem cell therapy has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of human disease. However, there has been strong criticism of how stem cells are taken from the embryo or umbilical cord and this has had a massive impact in inhibiting progress in the development and use of stem cell therapy.”
“Our BioEDEN process releases the full potential of stem cell therapy, as it is totally non-invasive, has no risks to the mother or child, and potentially gives tremendous health benefits to families for many years to come!”
In 2003 a bio-scientist at the US National Institute of Health discovered an abundant source of stem cells in children’s baby teeth. Using the teeth of his young daughter, he was able to isolate and grow these cells and to preserve their future regenerative potential.
Stem Cell Therapy is one of the most exciting and promising treatments for tomorrow, with a vast list of conditions currently being used or researched in trials. Included are: juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, cancer and heart disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Baby or “deciduous” teeth fall out naturally when a child is between six and eleven years old and BioEDEN makes it possible for stem cells from these teeth to be saved for use whenever they may be needed.
“It can be described as “Biological Insurance” for your family,” says David James. “It makes sense to preserve these potentially life-saving cells for a child, rather than discard them.”
“BioEDEN is committed to making modern medicine an affordable reality to everyone, and we’re very pleased to now extend this service to the UK and Europe”.
