William C. Rader
William C. Rader, M.D., is the only American physician involved in the actual clinical application of human fetal stem cells. Over the past 12 years, he has successfully treated over one thousand patients.
Dr. Rader earned his medical degree with honors from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1967, and was first in his psychiatric residency class at the University of Southern California Medical Center in 1971.
In 1984, Dr. Rader founded The Rader Institute, the world’s largest eating disorder treatment program, as opposed to weight loss, specifically tailored for the needs of patients suffering from anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating.
In 1992 Dr. Rader identified sexual abuse as a disorder that required its own distinct treatment. As a result, he developed The Survivor Program, which has helped abused individuals successfully transition from being victims of sexual abuse into becoming empowered survivors.
In the following year, Dr. Rader founded The Immune Suppressed Institute in Mexico City, Mexico, one of the first HIV/AIDS treatment centers in Latin America. During that same period, he served as chief international research consultant for Columbia Laboratories, one of Mexico’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
In addition to his medical career, for over a decade, Dr. Rader was one of the first national medical experts on television. He appeared as a regular guest on such televised programs as “Donahue,” “Jenny Jones,” “Leeza,” “Montel Williams” and “The Sally Jesse Raphael Show.” All of his appearances dealt with important medical, psychological and social issues, some of which were being explored on television for the first time.
He selected the guests and co-hosted programs for “Geraldo,” “The Mike Douglas Show,” “The Merv Griffin Show” and “The Tomorrow Show” with Tom Snyder.
Dr. Rader served as a medical expert for ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America.” He also wrote, produced and hosted numerous health-related documentaries for ABC-TV. He appeared twice weekly from 1977 to 1991 as the medical expert for ABC-TV “Eyewitness News” in Los Angeles, as well as appearing weekly on the nationally syndicated television programs “Hour Magazine” and “The Home Show.” Dr. Rader also created the feature documentary “Rape: The Hidden Crime,” which won him an Emmy. He has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
In addition to his naval commendation, Dr. Rader is the recipient of the Sandoz Award (first in his psychiatric residency class, USC, 1971), and has received awards from Overeaters Anonymous (Man of the Year, 1982) and the National Council of Alcoholism.
In 1995, he founded Medra Inc., an international corporation dedicated to the research and development of the clinical application of fetal stem cells. He serves as chairman of the board, medical director, and chief scientist, successfully treating patients suffering from a wide range of chronic degenerative diseases, a number of which heretofore were considered to be untreatable.
