Vescell (stem cell peddler) is a fraud?
Hi Guys, I'm new here, and I'm only posting because I see a lot of posts about VesCell - a stem cell company that offers all sorts of "treatment". I strongly believe that this company is a fraud and it's irritating to see people responding to posts from "people" who have supposedly undergone stem therapy with Vescell! Now, I'm not slandering these a*holes and you guys can check out any of my claims by using Google and the Edgar database
Give your hard earned money to worthwhile causes, not to a bunch of shady scumbags.
VesCell is run by a company called TheraVitae - which has to file reports with the US Edgar database; dito Regenocyte Theraputics - formerly GOOD BUDDY’S COFFEE EXPRESS! Use Google, you idjits!

It also provides for an exclusive license in the United States, Canada and Mexico to obtain regulatory approvals and then market VesCell stem cell therapy for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Does anyone know where in the US or Canada I can get VesCell treatment?
Yes I think you are probably correct, but not about the accuracy, but more about the meaning. I don't think a low EF automatically means you can perform less or have more symptoms. My cardiologist has always said that with an EF of 70%, he would expect me to be jogging every night. However, three years ago I could walk less distance than someone with an EF of 35%. Maybe the stem cells implanted do something to existing cells, making them believe they are healthy and not producing symptoms? There's still much to learn.
I have not gone for stem cell transplant but I do feel lot better than I was a year back. My EF has been at 30-35% all along.
First two years after MI I was not able to exert myself beyond certain level. But in last one year I have noticed substantial change. Earlier I could walk 20 minutes and get tired. Now I feel I can walk as long as I want. It is always a gentle walk in my case.
All along there is no change in my EF and echo shows no change in dead muscles and nuclear test routinely done for last three years is consistant (no improvement).
I suspect there is something which goes unnoticed by echo and/or nuclear stress test. Or, maybe, echo is not an accurate test for heart function/EF.

The thing with stem cell therapy which confuses both heart specialists and the general public, is how patients seem to feel much better, but the improvements are not measurable on tests. For example, a man in his 60's in the UK had a large portion of dead muscle in his left ventricle. He had low EF and was seriously out of breath from just 2 or 3 paces. He went into a stem cell transplant trial and after a few days noticed huge improvements. Admittedly, he does walk a lot farther, and doesn't get short of breath. The problem is, echo scans show no EF improvement and nuclear scans show no extra perfusion. The muscle, according to all tests, is still dead. But something has changed, exactly what is the mystery. This is not a single case, there are many like this. Could the improvement be psychological?
You're seem like a neurotic, obsessive-compulsive, gutless parrot.
You're not thinking critically, merely reporting bits of stuff that makes no difference to real patients like me. That's right, since my treatment with Theravitae's product Vescell in Thailand for ischemic cardiomyopathy in April 2010, my heart and scar tissue has shrunk in size, my EF has risen by 60%, and my PVC's have dropped from a detectable 34,000 per month to an undetectable 2,000 pm. Consequently, for the first time in 17 years, I have no symptoms of breathlessness or fatigue and I look well according to me and others. I'm also back to full time work. Quality of life = amazing, now.
Your defensiveness strikes me as fear. You don't want to believe that Tharavitae's product works because you don't want others to get better, since you don't have the guts to try. I think you have psychological problems as well as heart problems. Not surprised, since both work well together. Get your fears/resistance sorted out first then open your heart to the possibility of an improved life by trying the treatment. Pun intended.
You should be focused on establishing knowledge of the treatment methods and associated world-class reputations of the medical and the laboratory personnel and not the red tape stuff of forming company's. But that would be too confronting for a coward I suppose, so I forgive you...

"Atorvastatin was found to increase myocyte regeneration in cardiomyopathy patients"
Well that would cause some pretty life threatening situations if true because it is being realised HDL turn myocytes into macrophages, into which LDL fills them with Fat. Then the HDL steals proteins off the macrophages so the fat is trapped inside, disabling the ability for further HDL to remove the fats, causing it to become a foam cell, a very angry nasty atherosclerosis causing cell. If this has been shown by atorvastatin etc, then I wonder why a health warning hasn't been issued. Better to cut your losses and run now, rather than face millions of law suits for ignoring evidence.

Checked the patent database - couldn't find a single patent actually issued to any of their names (Porat, Porozov, Fulga). Links:
Israel PTO: http://www.ilpatsearch.justice.gov.il/UI/MainPage.aspx
USPTO: http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.htm
Canada PTO: http://brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/cpd/eng/search/advanced.html
What they have done is apply for patents, which is different from actually having a patent issued. Provisional patent application 60/636391 is dated (priority date) 14 Dec 2004 and 60/668739 is dated 5 April 2005, Applicant: MOTION INVESTMENT Ltd, PCT/IL/2005/001345(I used Canada PTO).
Provisional patent applications have a lifespan of 1 year - and this is not a "standard application" - it has no enforceable rights and you have to apply for a standard patent application within said 1 year; It auto-expires if you don't file within a year.
In short, I could apply for multiple patents, fill my provisional application with utter rot, and run around telling everybody that I have "patents pending" - very good for marketing and self-promotion. Wonder why the USPTO and CPTO and IPTO thought it not fit to give them a patent.. the IPTO says that their provisional application: "Current Status: Application Abandoned"
Yael Porat (now CEO of BioGenCell, from her CV):
"company's strategic planning. Dr. Porat, an author of many scientific publications and patents, holds MA and PhD degrees in Immunology from the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Israel.
Legally, i think anyone could just "borrow" from their patent and see what the heck they were injecting into people.. The funny thing is, the current study by Aastrom Biosciences
has as it's lead investigator, Dr. Amit Patel who seems to be involved in this Thai venture.

Now if you have been following the news.. Atorvastatin was found to increase myocyte regeneration in cardiomyopathy patients (myogenesis).. ergo.. :) maybe all you doofuses need to do is take some statin pills :) be careful though! Statins are contra-indicated in cardiomyopathy - rhabdomyolysis.
Oh well, I'm pooped. You might want to EDGAR search "Kwalata Trading" :) apparently there was some falling out between the Israelis and TheraVitae

Have no ideal what you said and I do think you do?????
Hi, I'm very comfortable with medical claims both false and true, because I'm not desperate for a cure. Those posts were meant to inform patients that there are ways to verify the antecedents of a company touting the latest cure. I'm not saying that the stem cell business (as a whole) is fraudulent!! All I'm saying is that NOT ALL stem cell companies are honest in their intent and it behooves us to be careful and diligent in our research. Edgar and WHOIS are FREE tools that help us gather information before shelling out 60K-USD.
As for your suggestion that I "ignore the company" that may be into shady practices..
1.Mathematically speaking, that doesn't work. Eg: "Poison reverse" is a concept that computer networks use to tackle false information. You can Wikipedia that BUT in short it works by permitting a network router to tackle false routing information by actively transmitting correct information vs staying silent. They tried the keep quite routine and it didn't work out..
2. This forum(Medhelp) wouldn't exist if everyone took your advice. After all, taking beta blockers for heart disease is also a medical claim. Patients here discuss a variety of medical claims and decide what claims to trust.. some take beta blockers and some take ACE.. some take both. I don't think very many people on medhelp stay at home like little church mice.. Or to put it more bluntly.. umm.. in a not-unfriendly manner.. You don't seem to be taking your own advice, darn it!

Mind you I'm all for stem cell cures - I just want to know who's doing it and what his degrees are and which college he passed out of (and I'd check up on all that info) and who his partners are, and what his wife does for a living etc etc..
As for your suggestion that I "ignore the company" that may be into shady practices..
1.Mathematically speaking, that doesn't work. Eg: "Poison reverse" is a concept that computer networks use to tackle false information. You can Wikipedia that BUT in short it works by permitting a network router to tackle false routing information by actively transmitting correct information vs staying silent. They tried the keep quite routine and it didn't work out..
2. This forum(Medhelp) wouldn't exist if everyone took your advice. After all, taking beta blockers for heart disease is also a medical claim. Patients here discuss a variety of medical claims and decide what claims to trust.. some take beta blockers and some take ACE.. some take both. I don't think very many people on medhelp stay at home like little church mice.. Or to put it more bluntly.. umm.. in a not-unfriendly manner.. You don't seem to be taking your own advice, darn it!

I didn't read it all but there's so much information given I was beginning to think it was a spam message. Say they hate it but then offer a lot of information for us to look it up ourselves. I almost reported it but didn't in case it was legit.
I believe someone was arrested in the UK or Europe recently after being sued for giving hope regarding stem cell usage to heart patients. Nothing worked with any of his patients and he is not struck off the medical register. I think the law should be tightened regarding claims about medicines and therapies, there are a lot of desperate/vulnerable people out there.
If you are uncomfortable with medical claims, I suggest you just ignore the company, simple as that.
Oh! and those blogs and websites that you see when you Google, that tout stem cell research.. most of them are fraudulent. Think about it!! It costs like 40$ to buy your own domain (eg: my-fake-domain-to-peddle-crap.com) and web-space. Then it's just a matter of putting up all sorts of crap. If these guys are screwing patients for 60KUSD and their initial investment is 40USDx10 (10 websites) not to mention all the free web-hosting offered by google/yahoo/blogspot etc.. well.. quite a profitable business! They don't even bother to fake their whois information (whois info is info YOU provide when you buy a web-domain eg: crap.com) No wonder Theravitae (VesCell) is registered in Thailand and uses gmail (free email hosting) for their technical contact. Jeeze! What cheap-skates! Email: mryetun AT gmail . com (I spaced that because medhelp clobbers emails *grumble*). Do a WHOIS to figure out who owns a domain AND this information can be faked so.. it's shocking that these con-bstrds aren't even bothering to do this!! Ooo and look at this:

Btw, medhelp seriously needs some rework with their sign-up process. Here I am a fairly honest whiste-blower and darn it! I had to try three email addresses (all fake) and three fake id's, before I could login to post. Guh! However, please note, what I'm SAYING isn't a lie and it's so darn easy to verify - just google or do a 'whois' lookup for vescell.com and check up with the US government's Edgar database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm) Also: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36849354/ns/health-heart_health
You need to ask yourself what a TheraVitae is doing with an ex-coffee marketing company - and one assumes that they were honest souls who were peddling coffee and not something else.
All registered companies have to file things with Edgar and there are websites that mirror this information, which Google indexes and makes available to common-folk. This is the link i got:

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 16, 2008, RegenoCELL Therapeutics, Inc., formerly Good Buddy’s Coffee Express, Inc., a Florida corporation (“ RCT ” or the “Company”) completed actions necessary to change its business strategy from opening drive through cafes which will offer clientele during the morning commute coffee and pastries within one minute after cash is received from the customer to a new stem cell therapy business opportunity as set forth in a Letter of Intent dated March 31, 2008 with TheraVitae, Inc. (the “Stem Cell Business”). These actions included the filing of Amended Articles of Incorporation which among other matters changed the name of the corporation to RegenoCELL Therapeutics, Inc. and increased its authorized capitalization to 600,000,000 shares, approved Amended Bylaws, issued restricted common shares, par value $.0001 per share, to Douglas T. Rice (250,000), Domenic Mazza (5,000,000) and James F. Mongiardo (15,000,000), ratified the March 31 Letter of Intent with TheraVitae, and approved the Employment Agreement with James F. Mongiardo as President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Letter of Intent with TheraVitae provides for a non exclusive license in Mexico and later the Islands of the Caribbean to commercialize TheraVitae’s stem cell therapy for cardiovascular indications. The Company may establish clinics to treat congestive heart failure patients with VesCell, TheraVitae’s stem cell therapy. It also provides for an exclusive license in the United States, Canada and Mexico to obtain regulatory approvals and then market VesCell stem cell therapy for the treatment of peripheral artery disease.
As part of the change in strategy to the Stem Cell Business as further described below under Item 5.02, Scott Massey, the former President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, and Phillips N. Dee, the former Director of the Company resigned from their positions as officers and directors of the Company and James F. Mongiardo was elected as Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, Secretary and sole Director of the Company.
