Ateneo graduate dies after dubious “stem cell treatment”

This is one sad story.

“Katherine Grace Tan, 23, a cum laude graduate from the Ateneo de Manila University, who was suffering from Hodgkin’s lymphoma, died last year after undergoing embryonic stem cell therapy that was allegedly administered by Antonia Park, the alternative medicine doctor of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,” reports News5 correspondent Ina Zara on InterAksyon.com.

According to Tan’s father, Bernard, Park had promised that within three months his daughter would be cured of her disease. He said the doctor declared that the young woman’s condition was not cancer but just hormonal imbalance.

Tragically, after undergoing treatment and strictly following a juice diet, Tan got weaker and died.

The report then pointed out: “Earlier this month, it was reported that Park, of the Green & Young Health & Wellness Center, admitted that she wasn’t licensed to practice in the Philippines.” In fact, she isn’t in the Professional Regulatory Commission’s list of authorized physicians.

If this is the case, this would mean that GMA also got “tricked” by Park.
