Customer Reviews

Lovely book!

I teach HS biology and dearly treasure books that communicate complicated topics to my students. This book certainly did that. A group of my honors students used "Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy" as part of a presentation on innovative new medical treatments. They expressed great satisfaction with the book -- citing the fact it is logically organized and explains technical concepts in ways even the most "science challenged" can understand. Their presentation and comments on the book resulted in many other students borrowing or buying the book to read. I, too, read "Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy" and found it informative and a delight.

Educates, entertains and warms the heart!

This is my kinda book -- concise, fact-based and filled with deliciously heartwarming stories of adults and children who are making their way to better health thanks to cord blood stem cells. I've bought copies for coworkers, friends and family and hope those reading this review do likewise.

Armed me with understanding, info, geat stories and more!

So many science books are "ho hum" -- difficult to wrap your brain around. Not this baby. I found this introductory book on cord blood stem cells and therapy remarkably easy to take in, digest and remember. The patient histories are compelling and the writing is logically structured and actually beautiful. I wish my college science profs could have communicated hard topics as easily as Drs. Steenblock and Payne do. Reminds me in some ways of Carl Sagan's writing. I highly recommend that anyone wanting to know more about stem cells - especially cord blood stem cells -- get this book.

Great Book!

This book helped me understand stem cells -- adult, embryonic and umbilical -- how they differ -- and how umbilical stem cells are delivering the goods in bring healing to many sick people. There are some really moving stories in this book, too. Anyone who is ill and looking for options needs to get this book. Hats off to Dr. Steenblock and Dr. Payne!

Fascinating and easy to read!

This book delivers! It is concise, easy-to-understand, and presents things with a balance of science, passion and compassion. I like the fact that this isn't a "do this and you'll see miracles" book, like so many health books these days. There is great promise in cord blood stem cell therapy, but the authors are careful to make it clear that their findings are tentative and need to be formally evaluated via clinical trials. I hope there is a 2nd edition coming with more patient stories and updates on the science behind all this.
