I DID it because it worked on my wifes cousin, and because of what I read about it, says Joe Concepcion of his stem-cell therapy. ALANAH TORRALBA

Last of two parts

Jose S. Concepcion Jr., at 81, still goes to the office daily, and, to his wifes chagrin, is quite restless and bullheaded, sour if he has nothing to keep himself busy.

He does crazy things! Like, if he gets hold of a book, hell bring it and photocopy everything, says Marivic Concepcion, who has been married for 56 years to the RFM Corp. chair, Namfrel (National Citizens Movement for Free Election) founder and former trade secretary. He needs a caregiver but he wont allow it. He could fall!

Her husband, however, insists he feels excellent. I feel so good when I wake up. I dont feel tired, says the activist known to many as Joecon.

Concepcion attributes this renewed strength and vigor to a procedure he had undergone not long ago, and of which he has been a vocal and unpaid advocate: stem-cell therapy.

Astonishing effects

The tycoon received his treatment from a German doctor named Christoph Ganss, who comes to the Philippines every three or four months to speak about his company and the benefits of stem-cell banking, according to the Concepcions. Ganss is the founder of Ticeba (Tissue & Cell Banking), a tissue bank for stem cells and laboratory in Heidelberg.

The couple heard of Dr. Ganss from Ms Concepcions cousin who underwent the treatment in Germany.
