From Wheelchair to Mountains:
A Stem Cell Recovery Story

The Hino Medical Centre has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. In June 2020, I was in an accident that left me paralyzed from the waist down: a spinal-cord injury that had damaged about 80% or more of my spinal cord. I was told that I’d be wheelchair-bound for life, with a five-percent chance of getting any function back in my legs, if I were to at all…

I made a little bit of progress in the immediate months that followed, but it was not enough. I was still in a wheelchair and incapable of standing on my own, even with the assistance of a walker. My physical therapists called a meeting with me and my family to let us know that because of the lack of progress in my recovery they will have to drastically lower my hours with them, so as to give their time to others who could benefit more – in the eyes of my PTs, I had stalled out on regaining any new sensory or motor function in my legs.

 

 

As you can imagine, this was a big blow to morale. However, my parents and I were determined to stop at nothing to get my legs back. So, in late January 2021, my mother and I headed for Hino Medical Centre to pursue what would be my first 10-day treatment of pluripotent stem cells.

And boy aren’t we so glad we did… 

 

By day three or four of the 10-day treatment we already began to see massive improvements. My quadriceps, which were not firing on either leg, had now neurologically returned – meaning, I had (and still have) the ability to voluntarily engage the muscles of my front thighs. This was HUGE, because now I could stand on my own with the assistance of a walker! Not only that, but I was now able to walk with the walker.

The first independent steps I EVER took out of my wheelchair were in our hotel room of the Coral y Marina there in Ensenada, midway through my stem cell treatments. It was miraculous. My mom and I were almost in disbelief. Tears streamed from our eyes.

Now, I was able to do what my PTs in the USA were trying to have me do for months: walk with a walker by myself. And it is all thanks to those stem cells repairing the neurological damage in my body.

Not only that, but at the time I was also on intermittent urinary catheters. After the spinal-cord injury, I lost my bladder control. I had gained a tiny bit of it back, but still not enough to void the contents of my bladder on my own. However, during that first trip to HMC, this too was rectified. My bladder function improved ten-fold, and the VERY LAST catheter I ever used was in that hotel room as well.

These were two of the biggest takeaways from my first visit to Dr. Hino. I now saw light at the end of the tunnel – I was no longer going to be a paraplegic.

Since that first trip, I have gone back a handful of times, and each time there have been major improvements in my recovery. Going back next on a walker, then to crutches, then to a cane, and now no assisted device at all, Hino Medical Centre (along with the hard work that I put in) has made my recovery the marvelous success story that it is today.

Side note: I never told my PTs in the USA that I was going to Mexico for stem cell therapy. I just said I was going on holiday. Even they noticed the major improvements every time after visiting HMC, so much so that one of them said to me:

“You know Connor, it’s like every time you go on holiday you see some sort of wizard that improves your recovery tremendously, because you keep coming back with such new levels of function and sensation in your legs.”

And that wizard is Dr. Michael Hino.

Some friends of ours had shared their physical body improvements from their visit to the Hino Medical Clinic.
From their wins after treatment my husband and I decided to experience the opportunity ourselves.

I had the following reasons for going to the clinic.

  1. Constant chronic left knee pain over several years. Already I had had Stem Cell injections in that knee twice over a 5 year period. Never did the knee improve beyond 15-20%.
    I had been to a top orthopedic surgeon shortly before leaving for  HMC. The surgeon took pictures and said I had “bone on bone” and would need knee surgery at some point in the near future. He commented on the bowing in my legs caused by this condition.
  2. Medical diagnostic saying I had full blown Osteoporosis and should be “careful” at breaking my bones. Warned not to ride bikes, climb ladders, or snow ski.
  3. Generally wished to assist my body in being/feeling/surviving at a younger level. Along with that I figured an increased mental acuity and general good feeling.

Here’s what happened:
We received treatment over 5 days.
Then we flew home.

Face Transformation

On day 3 my face began to transform. My husband was sitting at dinner across from me and said your face is changing. He was quite amazed. Here’s what was happening. I have suffered from allergies all my life. So I didn’t even mention them to Dr Hino because I figured they were a fixed condition.

But what I thought was “normal” was not. The stem cells have permanently removed swelling in my face via the nasal cavities. And I can breathe through my nose for the first time I can ever remember with such clarity. This new state has been tested thoroughly as I have just gone through allergy season here in Florida and my “open -able- to- breathe -freely” nasal  passages have stayed clear!
Last season I spent so much money on Ozone Nasal Treatments to get through the season. No more.
To me it is nothing short of a miracle. I drive down the street and take a big breath through my nose and just marvel at the feeling.
My face has “balanced out”. I literally had 1 eye higher than the others which showed up in every photograph. No longer.
Also I had many neck wrinkles. Mostly all gone.

People stop me and say I look 10 years younger and they ask me what I am doing?
Answer: Nothing beyond  HMC treatment. No Botox. No fillers.

Knee Pain

On day 9 (I kept a diary) upon our return the knee pain turned off and has never returned at its chronic level. I have had 97% improvement in the knee. I hardly every think about it and have returned to my full golf swing with left leg planted.
That was impossible previously.
But here is something else that I find astounding. My legs are straightening! The “bow” is less and less. I can bring my legs together –from feet to ankles to thighs -during Pilates where before they couldn’t touch.

I see this leg straightening evidence in the mirror.
How could that be? Close to a miracle I say.

Illness
None since visiting HMC.
We have been home 4 months and I continue to see and feel physical improvements.
My body is literally messaging optimism.

In 2015 I had a frozen shoulder condition. I couldn’t raise my arm or sleep on that shoulder because of excruciating pain. I went to Dr Neal ElAttrache, the orthopedic surgeon for the LA Dodgers who is world renowned. He said it was one of the worst he had ever seen of this type of issue and that I needed surgery; it could be a torn rotator cuff. I scheduled the surgery.

Soon after a friend of mine told me about Dr. Hino, and knew of people that had experienced great improvement for physical conditions with stem cells. I decided to try it. After 8 days of stem cells, the pain was 100% gone and I had full mobility! It has remained healed with no recurrence for 9 years.

I have also experienced a much improved immune system. I would get severe bronchitis every flu season, but since receiving stem cells I have rarely even had a cold.

I referred a friend who had a minor stroke due to a blood flow blockage in his brain. His doctor put him on blood thinners, but he wanted to get off of them due to constant bleeding. He went to Dr. Hino in 2019 for 10 stem cell treatments. 6 months later his doctor gave him a new MRI which showed that he had grown new blood vessels around the blockage in his brain, and he was able to stop taking the blood thinners.

From my personal experience, stem cells can make a big difference in handling many different types of body conditions. I highly recommend the Hino Medical Clinic.

I first went to Hino Medical center in late 2016 at the age of 66, as my wife had been previously for a major shoulder issue that had been miraculously healed with stem cells.

I had no real physical issues and my blood tests were very good. In fact, Dr. Hino asked why I was there. I said my interest was for life longevity and to feel better. I happened to mention that I had back pain, but I did not think that stem cells could help that as it was due to 2 badly herniated (bulged) discs that developed about the age of 40.

For about 25 years I had severe sciatica pain that would leave me bedridden for a week at a time, unable to walk. This happened several times per year. I was not willing to get surgery, so I managed it with chiropractic adjustments and a home decompression device. I could not lift over 10 pounds without risk of a major flare-up, and just to sit in a car was painful. I did most of my desk work at a standing desk.

Dr. Hino said we could try stem cells for this. I started getting both general stem cells and direct injections into my lower back. After 3 rounds of treatment, by early 2018, I was pain free. This is now 2024 and I have not had any pain for over 6 years. I can lift 40-50 pounds with no issues. My chiropractor in Los Angeles had before and after Xrays, and he said the nerve that was being impinged on had grown in a curved fashion which eliminated the pain. He had never seen that happen before.

I was also prone to get colds or illness a few times a year. For the past several years, I have rarely gotten sick and when I have it was very mild. This was definitely an improvement in my auto-immune system. In general, I feel more lively and alert.

There is what I believe is another hidden benefit. At the age of 73, who knows what other health issues could have occurred that were prevented with stem cells. Many of my high school friends at my age are either no longer around or are having major health issues. I partly attribute that difference to stem cells.

I have recommended HMC to other people and have seen them benefit as well. These ranged from minor issues being handled to miracles.

Before this journey started health and fitness was very important to me. That was all taken from me in my illness. In my journey I went from going to 15 doctors and 80 vials of blood finally being diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and having several co infections. I was desperate and running out of time.I tried everything and I continued to decline with losing my ability to walk, cognitive and brain dysfunction, speech problems, joint pain, neuropathys, bowel dysfunction, etc. Things became more rapid as the disease had turned very autoimmune on me.

I was in need of a miracle and was led to Dr Hino with time running out to live. With a shot of faith and believing in what Dr Hino could do for me, I got on an airplane to his clinic. After extensive stem cell therapy, I was given the ability to walk, no pain, no neuropathy and continual improvement. Dr Hino turned me right around and I have continued to improve. I even got back in the gym and have worked out again!



Our granddaughter, Amelia, was born with a hole in her heart.
Her pediatrician checked it every 6 months, hoping that it would heal itself.  It did not, so the pediatrician sent her to a heart specialist. It was agreed that there was indeed a hole that would involve surgery to repair by the time she was 5. As she was now 2 years old, we asked Dr. Hino if he thought she would respond to umbilical stem cells, as this was all he had available at that time.   He said he would take her on, even though she was the youngest patient he had treated up to that date. We brought her down 6 times for short mini-treatments over the next 6 months.
3 months after her final treatment, she went to her pediatric heart specialist and her 2 holes had joined into 1 larger hole.   The EKG confirmed that her hole was now 8 cm. Surgery was discussed as a very real possibility to handle a hole that size by the time she was 5. She was now 3 years old. When we relayed this information to Dr. Hino, he assured us that the stem cells can take a little time.  “Fear not!”
When Amelia turned 4, she met with the pediatric surgeon at UCLA who was going to perform the surgery.  He wanted to check her himself and do his own EKG. After testing her, he declared that her hole was now 1 cm!  He said the previous doctor did not know how to correctly run his tests as there is no way that an 8 cm hole could just close on its own!  Not possible! The hole had been too large!
You can imagine the joy in our family when we all heard the news!  When I asked my daughter what she attributed this change to, she said, “Dr. Hino!  We didn’t do anything else!”
Amelia is now 5 years old and she just returned from her annual check-up with the pediatric surgeon.   He said he can not really find the hole and that she will not need surgery in the future.
She will lead a normal life!   :-))))
Our entire family appreciates all that this passionate, hard-working doctor does daily for all of us!  He is saving lives.
Thank you again and again!
Our warmest wishes always,
Lanna Borom


I had started getting treatments from Doctor Hino in January of 2015 for stage 4 kidney disease. This worked very well and improved my kidney function almost back to normal, as well as improving my quality of life.

I had an enlarged prostate that was wreaking havoc on the kidney and that is why i had prostate surgery in 10/16. I was diagnosed with cancer in January of 2017, while on my 3-month follow-up from the prostate surgery.Unfortunately, they missed seeing a tumor on the prostate. The surgery disturbs it and it metastasized to the bones. It was confirmed by MRI and Petscan.

At that time, I wasn’t feeling any ill effects from the cancer. However, the PSA continued to climb with every blood test. So, I went to Dr. Hino’s for treatment for 4 days. My PSA was 970 when I arrived. After 4 days, my PSA went down to 748. I returned for another 4 day treatment after being home for 10 days. My PSA had risen back up to slightly more than 970. By this time, I was experiencing extreme bone pain in ribs, back, and hips and could barely walk.

I decided that the coming and going routine was unworkable for such a vicious cancer. I decided to kill it and not just torture it!

Since June, my wife and I have been renting a house in Ensenada and have had steady treatments 6 days a week for 6 months.
