Short segment from a YouTube video by Joy Kong, MD, discussing choices among stem cell therapies. The speaker acknowledges benefits of bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells, states that umbilical cord stem cells are currently likely one of the best options (but not definitively the best), and emphasizes the field is evolving and the speaker will continue updating their knowledge.
I don't want to take away from doctors who are doing bone marrow or fat derived stem cells because I know they've done a lot of good work. They've helped a lot of people and a lot of people swear by it too. But as a provider, as a doctor faced with choices, the field is always evolving. I'm not saying umbilical cord stem cells are end all, be all. It is probably one of the best options we have right now, if not the best. But things are changing and I'm going to continue to update my knowledge so I can share with you, because things can fast.
