Many patients here in China need such kind of matches and it seems that people here don't know leukemia patients could be healed by umbilical cords.

Hello Sun, What can we do to let people in China know that these treatments exist and that they should be banking their baby's umbilical cord blood upon birth?

Thanks for this. Very important information.

Thank you for your feedback. I wish more people would take notice as it could be curing tens of thousands of people each year. Our society is mostly ignoring umbilical cord stem cells. Tragic!

this video is very important i jus dont understand how ppl can try 2 band this type of research

Actually, umbilical cord blood is not controversial in any way. Stem cells are actually not controversial or banned. Its only getting stem cells from human embryos that is controversial, because you have to kill the embryo to get them.
