How does a guy from Philadelphia who spent nearly 40 years as an executive in the insurance business, and is a charter member of the American Academy of Actuaries, come to be known worldwide as “a visionary,” “a humanitarian,” and “a voice in the wilderness” in the world of medicine? Don Margolis, 75, is a graduate of Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University). Since 2003, Don has been quietly earning the title of “The Voice of Stem Cell Science” for his tireless advocacy of the efficacy of Adult Stem Cells – more accurately named Repair Stem Cells (RSC) – to help patients recover from more than 130 different diseases and medical conditions including many types of cancers; Multiple Sclerosis; congestive heart failure, COPD; Parkinson’s and Cerebral Palsy, hyperplasia, diabetes; and especially spinal cord injuries and Don’s personal favorite, Autism! In a recent interview, Mr. Margolis said, “I am not a crusader. My only agenda is to help patients who are told by the worst medical system in the developed world that their medical conditions are untreatable when that’s simply not true.” (Mr. Margolis’s claim of the worst is supported by the prestigious Commonwealth Fund’s National Scorecard on U.S. Health System Performance, 2008.)
Margolis describes his personal mission in life as “to bring a major medical benefit to mankind.” Most people who have no medical or scientific training would sit around wondering how to do it. Not Don. In 2003, he founded the world’s very first stem cell treating company, TheraVitae (www.vescell.com) and since then, almost 400 heart patients, looking at three choices, found a fourth:
Dr. Franco and New Heart Foundation's licensee, Cord Blood Registry, recently posted encouraging results using a patient's cord blood stem cells to treat her after a drowning accident left her with moderate to severe brain damage.
Marine Corporal “First to Get New Procedure” for spinal cord injury While 2000 SCI patients around the world have had Adult Stem Cells implanted in the past 8 years, it is sad to know how many Americans are being fooled. Every time someone is treated in the USA with stem cells (for any disease) the press releases and newspapers always call it a “first” when 100% of the time it is not.
Eight years ago, the rotator cuff on Tom Novak’s left shoulder tore.
It was just 18 months ago that Geron, the world-leading hoax embryonic stem cell company, which makes its money by hoodwinking investors and robbing spinal cord patients of hope, announced for the 11th time that it was holding a clinical trial which was never going to happen.
The advancement of cosmetic surgery is truly amazing. There is no record of when exactly cosmetic surgery originated, but there is evidence that suggests that plastic surgery has been around for thousands of years. However, it became more popular around the time of World War I.
