YouTube video ("Dispelling common myths about stem cell therapy") by Joy Kong, MD (uploaded Mar 15, 2024) addressing misconceptions about stem cell therapy in the U.S. The speaker counters the claim that stem cell therapy is broadly forbidden in the U.S., clarifying that restrictions apply mainly when cells are manipulated or used outside registered studies. The speaker describes clinical practice of combining cells from the same donor (umbilical cord blood and amniotic membrane) and offers a philosophical justification for using multiple cell sources.

To save time and money, they would just set up shop overseas. Then they can, you know, sidestep this requirement. That's why there's this myth that stem cell therapy is not allowed in the US it's only not allowed if you have manipulated the cells and you're not registering for a study. What I did in the field is that I put everything together from the same donor. So I'm getting cells from umbilical cord, blood from umbilical cord, and from the amniotic membrane. Because I always say God created all these cells for a reason, right? And who am I to play God thinking that I can just give you one of those cells and that's going to be good for everything?
