Medra Fetal Stem Cell in Dominican Republic is a Medical Scam

The reason you have only heard positive things about Dr. Rader is because you are being fed lies by Medra patients and parents of patients who have been hired by Dr. Rader to recruit patients. YOU HAVE NO IDEA what you are dealing with!

Two years ago I took my long time friend of 30 years to Tijuana for Dr. Rader's $30,000 stem cell treatment. After Dr. Rader's so called stem cell treatment, she has had NO improvement whatsoever. None! Over six months after the treatment, when we spoke to Dr. Rader and simply asked a few questions, all he did was to get impatient, angry, and insult my friend. And all the while my friend was kind to Dr. Rader. She simply had was some questions. Dr. Rader asked me to "talk some sense into her," like she was some kind of idiot. When she reported to him that the treatment didn't seem to be working yet, at this early point he was fed up with us and all he could say in a raised voice was, "STOP SAYING IT ISN'T WORKING. IT IS WORKING, YOU JUST DON'T FEEL IT." After Dr. Rader got off the phone, we were told by John Brower, his rep, to come back for a discounted treatment for $13,500. We reminded John that when we were in Tijuana, Dr. Rader told my friend that his treatment would make her better and if fact, would take 10 years off her looks and if her friends didn't notice it, she could come back for free. My friend was quite distraught and crying. All she wanted was to feel better and not be so bedridden. John Brower felt quite bad and then said we could come back for free. But then called us back saying it was going to cost $7,500. We never went back. I think we got ripped off. If this treatment is so great, why weren't we allowed to speak to anyone beforehand who had experienced improvement (except the Medra reps)? If Dr. Rader had helped my friend, she would certainly clamor to speak to anyone anytime and be a crusader for Dr. Rader's stem cell treatment.

I want to know what documented proof you were able to obtain regarding Dr. Rader's patients lying about there conditions and treatment outcomes. We are scheduled to provide fetal stem cell treatment to our son and I was so concerned about what you wrote. We have only heard positive and feel we must hear both sides before leaving for the Dominican republic. Thank you.

Lori, did you go? I have a friend in Australia who says her son is making gains after the treatment. just wondering about your experience.

Oh my god, Thank you for your story....
Like all of you & your stories, I have the same questions about the Stem Cell company Medra, as i too wanted to do anything to be cured from my disease, which is a mistory disease to the Medical World anyway. My husband & i found it very strange, being that there was no effort made to ask of my symtoms,& you get that call saying you have informed that Dr Radar will take you on as his patient,as Dr Radar has reviewed your notes & file,(which you never sent),We put this company into our country's goverment scam web site,they had this company Medra Inc on there list. I cannot belive people at desperate times , like myself, wouldn't think about doing this in their own country & with the techknowlege today on fraud and not see this & do there own research before being sucked into Dr W Radar's scam.
Well done so sad you all of you that have been & even more no cure.
All best we need to bring these companies down( world wide)

Please keep telling people this is a scam. People are still paying money they don't have for this scam. It is actually taking money away from legitimate care. I just had a friend fall for this even though we all tried to talk her out of it!!

Are there any promising stem cell procedures for incomplete spinal cord injuries. I've gone through ResearchMatch.com to pull out clinical trials in the US for stem cell therapies and also bone marrow cell injections and there is zero clinical trials in the U.S.

I did come across several clinical trials outside the US in Belize and Switzerland. Does anyone know of a reputable place on this planet for spinal cord injuries?

Charles, Geron in California is underway conducting clinical trials using stem cells on SCIs but it is too early for anything conclusive. I guarantee, if any breakthroughs occur, the media will be covering the stories.

Whatever you do, don't go to any facility that charges for the procedure. THEY ARE ALL SCAMS and there are over 200 of these offshore for profit clinics.

This treatment works of course to varying degrees. I know at least 20 patients with varying conditions that all improved. In fact on my two trips at least 1/3 of the people I met were coming back for a second treatment. Why would they do that if they saw nothing. No matter what Dr. Raders belief in the treatment and love for his patients is beyond questioning. Befor eyou listen to these bunch of haters and there doctors that have nothing to offer you go to the clinic meet Dr. Rader and talk with patients. You owe it to your self.

I think he's trying to help the hopeless, truly.
There are alot of negativity on this thread !

Hi our child is 1 years old with a fatal disease called Krabbes, we were told Dr rader can cure him with fetal stem cell therapy, but I'm getting the idea this is a scam, please could you contact me with some information or documented proof about the treatment.

To lori
did you seee doctor rader and was he a fraud or real so many negitive commments about him as a rip off/ true or false did your son improve or stay the same

My husband was treated by Dr. Rader last Saturday in Mexico.While we were there we met MANY people who are very happy with Dr, Rader we met people from all over the world who were in awe of the progress the patients were making.
Dr Rader does not make any promises and many patients have to return for visits.The paper we sign is very honest and forthright.
Dr Rader is a very impressive humble man and instead of labeling him, doctors should be asking how they can provide the same service to their patients.If this procedure was nationilized, the pharmacuetical companies would close and the polititions would have to look elsewhere for election funding..sad.Also the treatment is very expensive because of the process of aquiring the cells, they come from the Urkraine, are processed in Germany and shipped to Dr Rader..this costs a fortune and the cost of this therapy is also why no one wants to fund the research in USA
When our doctor here cold heartly told us there was no cure for my husband's end stage kidney disease,he wasn't embarassed to tell us that after 15 years,there was no progress despite millions allotted for research then how can anyone critisize a man who is doing his best in a very difficult circumstance you

wow this sure is a big issue! Currently I am digging all the infomation I can get on fetal stem cell treatments and also Dr. Rader. I have had MS for 10 years and am now my symptoms are worsening and I am wanting to find out how I can find a TRUE legit Doctor. Are there any out there at all??

Google "Panorama Stem Cell and Miracles." Rader is a fraud.

William Rader of Medra is a snake oil salesman with carefully heart wrenching testimonials that are exaggerations and or outright lies.
