People think, oh, are you killing babies? Well, I don't know anybody that's killing babies in the United States. Maybe in other countries, especially if they're doing fetal stem cell treatments, such as Ukraine, I've definitely, definitely abortion will be involved and it involves a destruction of a fetus, but that's not legal in this country. So no babies killed.

And embryonic stem cells are not used for clinical use. You can't give it to people as treatment. You can do it as research, but you can't give it to any humans. So the cells we use either is from a person's own, like your own bone marrow, your own fat. We can get from your dental pulp. There are different sources, menstrual blood. But

More and more popular, and because it's more powerful, is the early birth tissue derived stem cells, such as from the umbilical cord. So the umbilical cord is obtained only after a healthy baby is born. right? What do you do with a cord usually in the past? You cut the cord and you toss in the trash. Now we know, no, don't toss it.

There's so much incredible things in this that we can use it to help people repair and heal. So that's another myth that people think that anyone's harmed by getting stem cell therapy. I think partially it was because years back, George W. Bush banned embryonic stem cell. He didn't ban the research. He just banned federal funding that supports more embryo destruction.

So he just didn't want more lives.

People who, or labs who already have these embryonic stem cell lines that you just keep using the same line to do research, that's not banned. So they can still research, but still they can't give it to humans for just clinical use. So that's another, people get confused.

That's definitely a highly manipulated process. You're getting cells from the embryonic. Basically, day five to seven, when the fetus is forming, the embryo is forming, there's a ball of cells and embryos. Inside the ball, there are certain, you know, straggling these cells. They're called inner cell mass. And you can grab any cell from that inner cell mass and you can form a full human.

So that's the embryonic stem cell that they're getting. So you can get that from day five to seven after fertilization. The problem is that they are still difficult to control, that they can cause what's called teratoma, which is an uncontrolled growth of tumor. It could be all kinds of cells from hair, teeth, bone, they're all clustered together.

There are other countries who are doing embryonic stem cell treatment, just not in the US. However, people have heard horror stories of how a person grow a tumor. And a lot of times they grow a tumor on the back. That's very commonplace. So all of a sudden they grow a tumor on their spine and there have been people who have been paralyzed because of this.

So there's a little bit of, well, there's a high risk that we can control these cells that they can just all of a sudden start to form tumor cells. So that's one reason it's not allowed in the U.S. besides the ideological concerns of destroying of an embryo.
