MANILA - A government official on Thursday said he is no believer in stem cell therapy after undergoing the procedure but getting zero health benefits. <\/p>\n
Speaking to radio dzMM, Dangerous Drugs Board chairman Antonio \"Bebot\" Villar said he was enticed to try out the procedure after hearing from other people about the near-miraculous effect of stem cell therapy. <\/p>\n
He noted that even former President Joseph Estrada has attributed his rejuvenated health to stem cells. <\/p>\n
\"Kasi nababalitaan ko maganda itong stem cell. Ako ay madalas na [masakit] ang buto ko. Siguro nanghihina yung buto ko na at tsaka medyo mahina ang katawan ko kaya sinubukan ko ito,\" he said. <\/p>\n
Villar said he paid 16,000 euros or more than P900,000 to Villamedica for stem cell therapy to cure aches and pains in his bones and general body weakness. <\/p>\n
He said he underwent treatment with his wife at Makati Shangri-la hotel, along with at least a dozen others. <\/p>\n
\"July 9 may schedule na stem cell sa Shangri-la EDSA. Mga dose or kinse kami. Halos buong floor, yun chairman doctor kasama assistants na taga-Thailand,\" he said. <\/p>\n
The DDB chief said he received several injections on the buttocks and ordered to stay in the hotel for a day so doctors could monitor their blood pressure. He said the stem cells were harvested from lambs. <\/p>\n
He said that after the treatment, he tried to see if he got stronger but only felt worse. <\/p>\n
\"Ang lakas ng loob ko at naniniwala ako. Naglakad ako. Abay, sumakit ang mga paa ko. Parang wala itong epekto,\" he said. <\/p>\n
