APPLE VALLEY • Fatigue, blurred vision, immobility, numbness and bladder control problems. For Holly Huber, that was life with multiple sclerosis.
Symptoms of the degenerative disease became so chronic and unbearable that Huber, a Victor Valley native now living in San Diego, could no longer work.
As part of her treatment she had to give herself daily injections of potent drugs in a futile effort to fight the disease. Even with medical insurance she was still paying $1,450 a month for medication that she said was becoming less effective each month.
“I could tell my legs were getting weaker and my balance and eyesight was getting worse,” Huber said. “I really felt that I needed to be aggressive with my health care so that I didn’t end up being permanently disabled.”
Huber fought back. The 36-year-old business owner became her own medical advocate and started researching various therapies. She tried alternative therapies like acupuncture, yoga and diet. Then she stumbled upon an adult stem cell procedure only available overseas.
She talked with other MS patients who said they had great success after being treated at The Institute for Cellular Medicine in San Jose, Costa Rica.

My husband has had MS for 31 years. We don’t listen to the doctors, who push drugs. He is on a low-fat, high in vegetable diet AND he exercises with a trainer to keep muscle tone twice a week. When you exercise inside in a cool gym, you will not overheat. We’ve gotten the exacerbations down from annually to once every six years. We have alienated a few doctors by refusing their “treatment cocktails” and I’ve had to be a fierce advocate for our choice not to do daily injections; stem cell research is reversing MS, and we are holding out for that.
Do the things you CAN do: diet and exercise, and don’t feel pressured by drs who are in love with costly daily drug use.
To whom it may concern;
I’d like to recieve some information about your ADULT STEM CELL treatment. Please send any paperwork on the proceedure and pricing involved. Would also like to know where (Hospital/Clinic) that this would take place at.
I would like any and all info regarding stem cell treatment.
I got my diagnosis a few weeks ago.
Thank you!
