While looking for possible treatments for ALS worldwide, Chris's sister has turned to Beijing Beijing Puhua International Hospital hospital, and within a month from the original consultation the siblings have decided to come to China, hoping that Cell Therapy treatment will help Chris's battle with the disease.

In 2007 weakness in his legs and arms started to bring a serious discomfort, walking and lifting objects became a struggle. Having family history of ALs, Chris undergone genetic testing, and the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis were made.

Muscle strength was at a low level of both upper and lower limbs, fingers and toes on both sides. Tendon reflexes in four limbs and abdominal reflex could not be elicited. Chris could not cooperate with the movement coordination examination. Chris now needs aid in all daily activities, including feeding, dressing and personal care.
