I chanced upon The Oprah show one time and watched the episode about caring for our colon. Although at the high level, I know that the colon is a storage tube for solid wastes in our body, I wasn’t sure how it’s going to affect me by not knowing more.

As we age, this tube holds more of the indigestible products our body was not able to absorb. It is possible that this blockage will result to various health problems ranging from constipation to colon cancer.

This is where colon cleanser products play its part. It claims to help “dissolve” the wastes thereby continuous use can free up the tube and enable it to function normally. There might be an age where “colon cleansing” procedure is advisable and that’s one thing I have yet to find out.

During my pregnancy, my obstetrician gave us a brief orientation about cord blood donation. The cord blood is said to be rich with known cell types to help with bone marrow transplants. That is the first time I heard about life-saving stem cells.

Who would have thought that this form of stem cells could also be found in menstrual blood? We have known this to be purely a waste but research by C’elle has shown that these can potentially treat diseases like diabetes, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, to name a few.

Some may be easily put-off with the idea of harvesting menstrual flow and subjecting it for research but with the end-goal in mind, it becomes more of a practical move to take part in this study. Imagine having a ready-cure for the donor or her first-degree family for these known life-threatening illnesses?

It is true that stem cell research can be a controversial topic for some people. But with good education campaign and even a peek on C’elle Client Testimonials will greatly help achieve awareness. The developments of this study can be tracked through C’elle’s website, in their About the Science page.

My daughter is less than two years old but I’m encouraging her to eat right. Although her appetite varies day to day, I take advantage of her good “mood” and feed her as much vegetables and meat.

I know this contributes to her well-being, her health in general and seeing the glow in her convinces me that she’s on the right track. I believe that as a parent, I should create a good foundation for her health for her to bank on when she grows up.

She will go through changes in different phases of her life and she needs to be equipped to face them all. Not unless it’s acne problems, then only Proactiv acne cream can help.
