What are the odds that stem cell treatment proves successful for people like your brother? And in case it is successful, do patients return to full health?

This service seems like an insurance to me. In case of an unfortunate event, you are covered. People are right to question the efficacy of stem cell treatments. Unless treatments are effective, it’s not worth paying for.

I’m also interested to learn the answer to this question GP asked:

> What percent of people who have banked cord blood who are not explicitly susceptible to specific genetic disorders known to utilize them for treatments have ever ended up using it?

In the case of my brother there was quite a bit of evidence surrounding cord blood improving motor and social skills. I linked a Duke article on it in another comment

The percent of people who have banked cord blood who are not explicitly susceptible to specific genetic disorders is unknown. It would be a compounded probability of freak accidents occurring, sports injuries, other diseases ie certain cancers, environmental issues, etc

I understand that patients don't return to full health. Here's the study [0] that the article [1] reports.

> The percent of people who have banked cord blood who are not explicitly susceptible to specific genetic disorders is unknown.

Makes sense. I wonder what percent of people suffer from conditions that could be treated by the service offered by Anja Health.
