REASON FOR TREATMENT
Eric first began experiencing symptoms in 1999, when he noticed trembling on his right big toe. At that time the disease manifestations were manageable without any medications until the year 2007 when Erics symptoms increased significantly.
Throughout the last 4 years, Eric was able to control his condition with conventional treatment offered by his physician, however he never stopped exploring other treatment options, and in 2010 came upon Beijing Puhua International hospital. At the time of this discovery, Eric's condition has deteriorated in a way that he was experiencing tremor, rigidity and slow movements.
Without much hesitation, and after undergoing an evaluation, Eric has decided to undergo stem cell treatment in order to slow down the progression of his condition and regaining functions lost to Parkinsons disease.
