Repair Stem Cell Scientific Advisory Board Member in the News!

Posted 24 July, 2008 in DON MARGOLIS |

Repair Stem Cell SAB Member Zannos Grekos is in the news again!  — Dr. Grekos was a featured speaker at the 16th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies at the Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC, on Friday, July 18.  And what did he have to say?  Let’s take a look:

“I’ve seen patients go from an ejection fraction of 28 percent to 49 percent in six months with the stem cell therapy,” he told the captive audience. (An ejection fraction of 50 is normal.) “Injecting a patient’s own stem cells into damaged tissue is replacing damaged cells with normal functioning cells. 

The group was particularly fascinated with the center’s research proving that adult stem cells have the ability to engraft themselves into areas damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and turn into new heart cells and new blood vessels.

Dr. Grekos responded to the forum by stating, “Three months after treatment, cardiac nuclear scans of the areas treated reveal reversal of damage. In some cases, it’s virtually impossible to identify the problems that existed before therapy. We have shown such improvement in some patients that they were taken off the heart transplant list.”

This is good news.  More proof that adult (repair) stem cells do work!  For more on Dr. Grekos and his stem cell treatments- click here
