Episode 6: Miracle Cell
… “Miracle Cell” travels to Portugal to document on film, for the first time ever, the harvest and transplant operation. The film also tracks the progress of several of Dr. Lima’s patients in the ensuing months. For some, improvement has been dramatic. As Dr. Hinderer assesses 19-year-old quadriplegic Laura Dominguez six months after her surgery, he concludes: “I’ve never seen recovery like this in 25 years of practice … I can tell my patients they may walk again, rather than saying life from a wheel chair can be good.” Two months later, Laura is able stand up on her toes and move her foot on command. Another of Dr. Lima’s patients, paraplegic Joy Veron, is seen on the road to recovery after undergoing the treatment last August. Joy’s injury is the result of a tragic accident in which she was run over by her SUV in an attempt to stop it from rolling off a cliff with her children inside. She began to experience some sensation in her leg almost immediately after surgery, and through intensive rehabilitation and fierce determination, Joy continues to make dramatic gains.
In Germany, “Miracle Cell” spotlights the remarkable strides being made by heart attack victims following the implanting of their own bone marrow stem cells into their damaged hearts. We follow a patient through the procedure and see how others have made a rapid recovery as the heart seems to regenerate healthy tissue instead of scar tissue. The program also tells the extraordinary story of Michigan teen Dimitri Bonnville, whose heart was punctured during a horrific nail gun accident. Despite a desperate prognosis, he has made a full recovery following stem cell treatment similar to that performed in Germany. His physician, Dr. William O’Neill, Director of Cardiovascular Disease, Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan, tells about the decision to go for the stem cell treatment instead of a heart transplant, and how that gamble paid off.
