At the height of his success, Dr. Vladem received a grim medical diagnosis. Encountering the threat of impending blindness, he became a two-time cornea transplant recipient. He experienced numerous transplant rejection episodes, six additional eye surgeries and the greatest physical pain known to man. Despite severe medical setbacks and against insurmountable odds, Dr. Vladem overcame additional life-threatening medical problems to triumph over adversity.

Dr. Vladem has been recognized for his work in promoting global transplant awareness.

He received awards from a large number of prestigious organizations for his work in transplant awareness, including London Diplomatic Academy and the International World Order of Science Education and Culture.

A motivational speaker affiliated with Professional Speakers Bureau International (www.terrificspeakers.com) , Dr. Vladem has served as a role model and inspired many physically challenged individuals. He has shown a great deal of courage in rising above adversity to help others.

A member of the Leadership Council for the Teaching Tolerance Program for the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2003, Dr. Vladem has been a contributor for their documentary films "Viva La Causa"
and "Bullied." Dr. Vladem has been a strong advocate to prevent intolerance and discrimination against handicapped individuals.

Recognizing the benefits of herbs and nutrients to increase brain power and heighten mental clarity, improve eyesight, prevent disease, and bolster the immune system to prevent transplant rejection, Dr. Vladem has recently begun a business venture to promote health and wellness. Dr. Vladem is working with Zija International to promote the benefits of the moringa oleifera plant, which provides more vitamin A than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, more potassium than bananas, more calcium than milk, and more protein than yogurt.
Dr. Vladem's life story is included in the best-selling book Inspiring Hope: Stories of Hopeful Living for More Success by Thom Lisk (head of Professional Speakers Bureau International and published by Morgan James). The book includes stories from a Pulitzer prize winner and many accomplished individuals from all over the United States. The book has been translated into nearly thirty languages and has received worldwide distribution. A portion of the sales of the book Inspiring Hope are going to the Legacy of Hope Society and Habitat for Humanity. This has led to opportunities for Dr. Vladem's story to be told in books, movies and musical plays. Dr. Vladem has received a large number of prestigious awards from a wide variety of organizations and he has received many knighthoods for his service to mankind. Dr. Vladem is planning a 501(c)(3) "House of Life" foundation to set up transplant centers all over the world and promote transplant awareness, and a 501(c)(3) foundation to provide college scholarships for handicapped and disabled students and for students who experienced transplantation or are in need of a transplant.
