Joy Kong, MD compares stem cell sources and finds autologous cells less effective, especially as you age. Bone marrow or fat-derived cells show roughly 50% improvement rates versus 70-80% for birth tissue cells, which she prefers to offer patients.
About 50%.
About 70%–80%.
All form of stem cell therapy actually work to some extent, which is why every form has flourished in its own right. But what I feel is that there's different degrees of success. So the older you are, the less success you're going to get from your own body's stem cells. The autonomous source. Even if you're 20 years old, the stem cells from you is nowhere in comparison to what we can get from the birth tissue. There's just no comparison, because I've compared them. So if I give you bone marrow derived or even fat derived stem cells, and I can give you a 50% chance of improvement, but here I discovered these birth tissue cells, and maybe I can give you 70, 75 or 80%, I feel it's my obligation as a doctor to provide that for you.
