Lastly, after looking at the "Stem Cell Action Coalition" web site recommended by 'riddleme', which seems to be from the embryonic stem cell lobby, it seems to me that "riddlemethis" is nothing but a "Left Wing Don". Seems that you two are the ones fighting over the 'same piece of cheese' not me. And it also appears like you've been cutting and pasting the same post to 'Ol Don for at least the past year: http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewhe...

And just to be fair and complete, I suppose that I should mention that anyone seeking stem cell therapy abroad should also look at the International Cellular Medicine Society (ICMS) web site too: http://www.cellmedicinesociety.org/ They present an alternative view to the ISSCR.

and personally, for anyone who is considering any kind of stem cell treatment abroad, I would recommend reading the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) patient site before making any decisions: http://www.closerlookatstemcells.org/...

@Riddlemethis - Actually, I was just pointing out the fact that he does exactly what he accuses "writers in the pockets of the Big Pharma profit machine" of doing. I just happened to use a current post from his newsletter. If you bothered to look at my posts elsewhere on the net, you'd notice I've been "tailgating" 'Ol Don for a lot longer than you have. One other thing you might be interested to know is that 'Ol Don doesn't even have an "Institute". Read his newsletter. I subscribe to it and that is where I read the recent story about Panama by the way. At the bottom, you'll see this address:3010 LBJ Freeway Suite 1200 Dallas, Texas 75234, adnd if you google it, you'll see that it's nothing more than a virtual office in Dallas: http://www.davincivirtual.com/loc/us/.... So now that I got all that out of the way, let me make it simple so even you can understand my point. a) Margolis plagiarizes the work of others to send people to his clinics that pay him commissions b) He reprints articles written by others and alters them to suit his own commercial interests (the Panama story just happens to be the most recent one and like I said before, take a look at his web site and you will see MANY other examples, not just Panama) c) and this is the most important fact - if you read (a) and bother to check (b) you will see that nothing he publishes can be trusted because one cannot tell when he's altering the facts. THAT was my point from the beginning. Do you get it now?

Oops... Don's "site" not "sight"

Don Margolis - Speaking of misleading writer who are in it to make a buck and not fully benefit their patients, why don't you stop plagiarizing the work of others by altering their stories to suit your profit motive?

A case in point is a story you recently published in your online newsletter (Feb) and on your web site about Pro/Am dancer Janet Vaughan after she began dancing again after successful stem cell therapy in Panama.

You altered the title and removed all references to the clinic that performed the treatments and the country in which it was located in a deliberate strategy to mislead your readership. Why? So when they contact you about getting the same treatment, you can send them to a place from which you receive kickbacks instead of the place that actually performed the treatment in which the patient is interested.

Here is a link to the original story:

And here is one to the Don Margolis sanitized version: http://www.repairstemcells.org/Resour...

Tell us Don, how does it benefit your readers to NOT know where this treatment was done and who did it? There are many more examples on Don's sight.

So Don calling any writer biased and/or profit motivated is just the pot calling the kettle black.
