Stem Cells for Dummies
Until recently I dismissed stem cells in my medical practice for the most part. I have met patients who have had bad knees or could not walk who went
down to Dr. Hino's clinic rather than go under the knife. Some stated he cured them but other patient claimed the opposite. So what exactly are stem
cells? Stem cells are cells that become different parts of the body in the embryo. They are programmed to become a liver cell, or a brain cell, or a
lung cell. Most stem cell treatments are taken from umbilical cord blood to treat patients. Yet how do these cells help adult humans?
Stem cells contain exosomes. Exosomes, once in circulation in the body, go to damaged areas of the body and start signaling the patient's immune
system to respond to the damaged area and start repairing it. Embryonic stem cells contain many more of these exosomes but are generally not
acceptable in Mexico due to ethical issues. However, they are not necessarily better. You can achieve the same results with cord blood. When the
technology gets more refined, exosomes will be available without using stem cells.
Why is the technology in Mexico more advanced than the U.S.? Because the U.S. will not allow intravenous infusion of stem cells, yet Mexico will.
This is because of FDA regulations that prohibit the use of stem cells systemically in the United States.
Stem cells are not hocus pocus, they are part of a specialty known as regenerative medicine. When you go to a stem cell clinic, they should have a
regenerative medicine license on their wall as part of the requirements of COFEPRIS for protection of the patient under the regulations of the
Secretary of Health in Mexico. Make sure the stem cells are screened by a valid laboratory for infectious diseases and actual cell count.
Using platelet rich plasma topically can regenerate skin and give a more youthful appearance and also for hair regeneration.
There are many exciting developments in the world of regenerative medicine.

If you dont want to have this done in Mexico, theres an outfit in Marin Co called Regenexx. Reccomended to me by a doctor with Kaiser in the bay
area. Her husband had his knees done to great sucess,and just had a "tune up" 6 years after. I had a lumbar treatment done with PLP(blood treated with
a natural papaya I believe) from them and am thinking of going back for recent neck and migrane issues. Stem cell was pricey @ about $7k at the time
but may be more reasonable now. The Mexico clinic I am sure is quite reasonable comaratively.

I am planning to open a spa so maybe I will use stem cells.
I will put my zonky to work on this right away.
A little out of his line but he was born on the streets of Tijuana so.. you know... he can find you anything!
Any other good health tips Doc?

We have an MD in San Felipe doing the stem cell treatment. Results for several friends are truly amazing. One woman went from difficulty walking to
actively playing pickleball. Then there was another the got help, but he still is pretty crippled. He says life is better due to some improvement.

We sometimes watch programs on BBC that talk about some of the predictions they anticipate in the future. I imagine that someday, the medicine we
practice today will be considered barbaric!

Um Del Mar...I am still practicing medicine. What do you mean I have moved on? I still have my business. I am very busy as I have a full-time job
in the US and run my clinic in Mexico on the weekends. My business in Mexico has no debts and is operating in the black.
