Brain-injured at birth, treated with her own umbilical cord blood stem cells!


"Three months ago, Maia Friedlander, 4, was locked in her own world. Despite six hours of therapy a day for three years, Maia - who was born six weeks premature - struggled to talk, walk properly or even chew her food without choking.

While her twin sister, Ariel, hit all her developmental milestones about six months early, Maia did not learn to crawl till she was three."

Maia was treated at Duke in the U.S. using her own umbilical cord blood stem cells!"
