I didn't mention preemies now did I. You get very disingenuous when caught in your bullshit don't you.And why give newborns shots for Hepatitis? Vitamin K isn't needed either for brain bleed in the babies if the blood supply in the cord is left for the baby gets it instead of clipping the cord before the baby gets all it blood supply. They rob the babies of the blood by getting in a hurry and then the babies would get brain bleeds so they invented vitamin K to offset what they denied the baby from the get go.And we vaccinate against dangerous diseases.
And some not so dangerous. Chicken Pox is a good example of vaccination against what is really a nuisance disease 99% of the time.
BS------intraventicular bleed-----especially in preemies cannot be
prevented by delayed cord cutting---------AND-----the fact is that the cord blood is allowed to drain back into the baby at a normal birth
how many intraventricular hemorrhages have you encountered?
Not all are preemies------preemies are just MORE VULNERABLE----
---Vitamin K helps prevent that NITEMARE-------a few cc's of cord blood will not do it
How much blood and stem cells does a typical umbilical cord hold?
The median size of cord blood collections in family banks is 60mL or 2 ounces. That small volume of blood corresponds to 470 million Total Nucleated Cells (TNC) or 1.8 million cells that test positive for the stem cell marker CD34. CD34 is predominantly regarded as a marker of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and hematopoietic progenitor cells. However, CD34 is now also established as a marker of several other nonhematopoietic cell types, including vascular endothelial progenitors and embryonic fibroblasts.
What is vascular endothelial function?
The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. Endothelial cells release substances that control vascular relaxation and contraction as well as enzymes that control blood clotting, immune function and platelet (a colorless substance in the blood) adhesion.
