Devout Catholic MEL GIBSON defies his faith to save ailing dad, 94, with miracle stem cell treatments.
MEL GIBSON has worked a miracle by flying his dad Hutton to a clinic in Panama for cutting-edge stem-cell treatments that have done wonders for the 94-year-old’s failing health, say sources.
Devout Catholic Mel has railed against embryonic stem-cell research in the past, but this therapy involves using adult stem cells, a variation of the controversial procedure that the Church has endorsed.
“Mel is a true believer in the treatment,” an insider told The ENQUIRER. “His dad could barely walk and was too frail to undergo hip replacement, but now he’s better than ever.”
Mel even told a reporter: “Adult stem-cell research – I’m all for it. I’ll give my own stem cells to somebody if they want.”
