Hong Kong – Dr. Roberto Fernandez Viña, a key figure on The Science Advisory Board at LEMed (Leading Edge Medical Treatments, Ltd.), the specialist stem cell and laser therapy research and distribution group has announced that he is to appear on a television show as a proponent of the efficacy of adult stem cells in medicine.

The show, to be broadcast on Telemundo, a leading Spanish language network serving the Americas, will be led by Dr. Cira Olmos, a doctor based in Florida, USA who has helped Dr. Vina in research trials for 8 years after he treated her son for a diabetes-related condition using stem cell-based medication.

Mr. Don Margolis, Managing Director at Leading Edge Medical Treatments said, “Dr. Viña’s early efforts in stem cells led to encouraging trials in the treatment of diabetic patients and the results of those are a matter of public record at http://www.zoacell.com/investor/ascsummary.aspx.”

Dr. Viña was the first western doctor to offer commercial stem cell treatments to heart, lung, and diabetes patients. He has treated over 500 heart cases, mostly congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy issue. His high success rate has meant that some 65-70% of patients he has treated have returned to a semblance of normal life as opposed to eventually succumbing to terminal illnesses.

Dr. Viña said, “It is imperative that we begin dispelling the myths about embryonic stem cells and wasting precious time arguing over the morals and ethics. What we really need to do is refocus on adult stem cell research and the promise it holds for regenerative medicine in humans.”
