An anesthesiologist gave a child with autism a stem cell infusion from umbilical cord blood. The child's teacher reported rapid improvements in eye contact, social interaction, and procrastination within days. Joy Kong, a psychiatrist, describes her surprise at results that typically take months of conventional treatment.
The very first case I heard about stem cell therapy was actually on an autistic kid. Back when I was trying to get board certified in addiction medicine. I was on this bus with an anesthesiologist who was practicing anti aging medicine, which I had no idea what it was. When he said, oh, yeah, I use stem cell therapy for my patients. I said, you do what? Really? People are actually using it already. He said, I'll show you. This kid has autism. And I gave him an IV infusion of stem cells from the umbilical cord. Let me show you what the teacher said. The teacher had no idea that the child got stem cell treatment. So the teacher probably were just kind of in awe. This child keep making improvements. Better eye contact, better social interactions, no longer procrastinating. Literally 40 things that the teachers observed. And then when I was looking through that list, I was blown away because I was a psychiatrist at that time and he was the anesthesiologist. I was supposed to be the expert in autism, but I couldn't do what he just did. You did one IV and you were able to do this? It would take us years, throwing all kinds of medications, doing all kinds of behavioral therapies. What is this? Right? That's what got me inspired.
