Doctor accused over false stem cell claims
11 Jan 2010
The General Medical Council (GMC), which protects patients from malpractice among doctors, is investigating allegations against a Dr Robert Trossel, accused of offering and making false claims about stem cell therapy.
The Council’s Fitness to Practise Panel today (Monday) began the 40-day hearing that is set to involve evidence from a number of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who had stem cell treatment from Dr Trossel.
Speaking in the Guardian, MS Society Chief Executive, Simon Gillespie, said: "We have been concerned for some time about the regulatory gaps that allow practices, such as selling bogus treatments, to go unchallenged. It is high time that regulators took firm action to stamp out cowboy stem cell operations."
