I was telling my mother the other day about how much I have learned from being a blogger and there are many innovations that I came across that are not available here in Ipoh.

While the other day, I read about harvesting stem cells from menstrual blood, which, though yucky sounding, could be a life saver in the future, today, I learned about Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions. This got me thinking, if a woman can protect herself with stem cells from menstrual blood and a baby could protect itself from cord blood, what happens to men?

The good news is that all these stem cells have a good chance of matching first degree relatives of the woman or baby which means that if there is a need for stem cells by the woman’s parents or siblings, or the baby’s siblings, they have a good chance to fight their illness thanks to these stem cells.

The more I read about Cryo-Cell’s “Protect Baby, Protect Mom”, the more important I realize stem cells are. I hope that more people get to know it and seize the chance of storing their stem cells. Pregnant ladies should know about this so that they could prepare it at the point of birth.

Cryo-Cell.com has a “Protect Baby, Protect Mom” Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer where first time clients could use the coupon BEST3 and returning clients use ULTRA3 for discounts. In addition, Cryo-Cell is going to send this cord blood kit for free to mothers who are welcoming their newborn soon.

Some of you who know me well will know that I feel inferior sometimes because I do not have a college education. In fact, in my family, I am the one with the lowest education level. This does not mean that I am not as smart as the others but in this realistic world, most people look at our paper qualification first and foremost.

My cousin, Sharon, who lives and work in Los Angeles, told me that in America, people go to see a therapist for every small issue. If I were living there, I would have been advised to seek counseling Los Angeles already. Therapy may work for most people but for me, I just need enough money to put myself through college!

However, Sharon said that even so, if I open myself to values counseling instead of conventional counseling, things may be better. This is because in values based counseling, my counselor or therapist shares the same values as I do.

To be honest, I have not heard of values based counseling before but the more I read about it on Theravive.com, the more it makes sense. By sharing the same values or believing in the same things as the client does, the therapist is able to lead him or her to a better place mentally and emotionally.

If you have been looking for Kava Kava here in Ipoh, I think you can give up already. I tried going to herbal shops and medical halls and malls that sell a wide variety of juices but could not find it.

A friend advised me to buy it online as she said that even if I managed to buy it locally, the Kava Kava may not be authentic.

Anyway, I surfed the web for more information on kava kava and it seems like it’s great for general health, not only in reducing anxiety and stress like I thought at first.

Oh yes, I also read that Kava Kava extraction must be from the roots only and not from the leaves or stems which could have adverse side effects to our health. That is why it is important to only source for Kava Kava, and all your herbal supplements, from reliable retailers only.
