Dr. Oswaldo Font and his "electroneuromedular therapy" in Puerto Rico

Dear CareCure Community,
at present a Dr. Oswaldo Font from Puerto Rico is causing a bit of a stir in Latin American countries with his "electroneuromedular therapy". I am a quadruplegic myself and have spent quite some time searching the internet for information. The spanish-speaking internet features various reports, testimonials and film clips of television programs, where Dr. Font explains his therapy and presents success stories.
I have, however, not been able to find any "objective" opinion on his theories and therapy, nor any reports on the english internet.
If this guy is for real, then I would have expected to find a bigger international echo, and if this is a scam/fraud, I would have expected somebody warning against going to his clinic in San Juan.
With people here sitting pretty much at the center of all news concerning SCI, I wonder if anyone here might have some intelligence on this Dr. Font and his practices?
I happened to be travelling in Peru when a TV station ran an extensive report on him and his therapy and I can say that it caused quite a stir and got a lot of desperate peoples' hopes up (including my wife's).

I would really appreciate any kind of information you can provide me with on this matter.

Many thanks in advance and greetings from Germany

Huge scam. It's not anyone's responsability to prove him wrong, but his to prove himself right. And he's failed doing so.

Just another snake oil salesman.

I am personally acquainted with a lady who was paralyzed from the waist down in a tornado in 2006. She went to Dr. Osvaldo Font in Puerto Rico in July and is now on the road to full recovery. She has feeling in her lower body once again and can tell when her stomach is full when eating. She is walking with braces at this time and is building the muscles that were unused for all those years. I highly recommend any and all injured patients to go to Dr. Font! The treatment is nothing short of a miracle!! Anyone interested please reply and I will get info for you.

Please post the information. I find he has been doing this for several years with no published peer reviewed papers. He should be shouting to the world not sitting in secret.

I'll ask both my physiatrist and pain management doctors their opinions of Dr. Font when I go to see them in San Juan next week. I can't wait to hear their opinions about this miracle! ~lol~
