Repair Stem Cell Institute Challenges ISSCR on Misleading Propaganda
RSCI’s Chairman, Don Margolis, takes the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) to task for its repeated efforts to denigrate proven and successful adult stem cell treatments provided by world-renowned physicians, thus condemning millions of heart patients to a lifetime of pills, suffering and an early death.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 24, 2010
Don Margolis, founder and Chairman of the Repair Stem Cell Institute (RSCI) of Dallas, today challenged ISSCR on its continuing tirade of stem cell propaganda directed at heart patients and their cardiologists.
“ISSCR has been created by and for Big Pharma to keep adult stem cells, the only stem cells that work, away from patients so as not to interfere with Pharma’s domination of no-cures-allowed western medicine," Margolis says. "ISSCR pretends that overly-expensive, never-to-be-needed embryonic stem cells (hESCs) will actually treat humans in the next 20 years, an absolute impossibility.”
A typical example of ISSCR propaganda: Geneticist John Gearhart, a long-time director of ISSCR, was quoted as saying, “Adult stem cell injections temporarily helped heart-failure patients a few years ago. The new cells didn’t grow but for a few months and secreted substances that helped what was left of the old scarred heart tissue work a little better.” "When he stated that he conveniently failed to mention dozens of studies, many in the USA, which have shown otherwise, Margolis stated."
There are over 1,000 heart patients, many of them former invalids, hospice or heart transplant candidates living near-normal lives, three, four and five years after adult stem cell treatments.
Dr. Andreas Zeiher of the Goethe Institute in Frankfurt was the first to prove, in a large trial, that recent heart attack victims experienced mortality and morbidity improvements after treatment with their own stem cells.
The Thai-Israeli company Vescell has treated 500 heart patients (many terminally ill) with their own stem cells. Over 2/3 of them stated their quality of life has improved.
“Intracoronary bone marrow cells (BMC) improve ventricular performance, quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure…No side effects were observed,” says Prof. Dr. Med. Bodo Strauer in “The European Journal of Heart Failure” about the results of a long-term study of 191 chronic heart failure patients treated with adult stem cells.
Another world-renowned cardiologist, with dozens of honoraria on four continents, Roberto Fernandez Vina, MD of Argentina, has been treating heart patients with the patient’s own stem cells for over six years and has improved hundreds of lives. His 2003 trial was published with five years of results and presented in the USA.
“To summarize, Big Medicine created ISSCR for one purpose,” says Margolis. “…to convince patients not to complain while the greatest medicine in history, their own stem cells, are withheld from them by bought-and-paid-for regulators. They accomplish this by falsely painting the miraculous accomplishments of adult stem cells in a negative light while constantly hyping embryonics, which no heart patient alive today will ever live to see as a cure. ISSCR simply tells controlled newspapers and television networks what to say and scientific truth is buried by the 21st century version of Doctor Goebbels’ Big Lie.”
