Joy Kong, MD explains why she feels obligated to offer cord-derived stem cell treatment: in lab and animal studies, fat-derived stem cells made tumors grow, while umbilical cord stem cells caused them to shrink and disappear.
So when the fat derived stem cells are next to the cancer cells, either in a petri dish or on a live animal's body, in both cases, the cancer just keeps growing, getting bigger and bigger. But if you use umbilical cord derived stem cells, the cancer just starts shrinking and go away. So this is why I feel there's an obligation for me to provide people with a treatment not only that's more effective and because the cells are more potent, but also safer.
