Helping Ron Find a Cure

                    My name is Ron Boisvert, I am 47 years old and diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS in March 2015.

My condition is rapidly declining, and now confined to a powered wheelchair and a hospital bed with a lift to get in and out of bed. My arms and hands are extremely weak and my voice is rapidly declining. Have a hard time to use and hold my I-pad. My legs and feet have no muscles, cannot stand or even go to the washroom on my own. I have to take a cab or Handi-dart for all my appointments.

Have been fighting this disease and tried all treatments available with no success. My Neurologist has informed me no other treatments in Canada can be provided for me.

I have one more chance at life with this treatment in Beijing China at the Wu Medical Centre. All my medical records have been sent to Dr. Susan Chu and all has been approved to start treatment as soon as possible.  

Here is some of the information we were given: Doctors believe in 2 weeks patient can notice good improvement: The neural stem cells, after implantation, can grow into normal neural cells and repair the central neural system damage includes the myelin sheath and the axons, rebuild neural system function again. The mesenchymal stem cells, after implantation can help patient blood circulation.

All currency needed for this treatment is in US funds. The treatment itself is $18,000.00 US.with added expense for therapy, medical services , laboratory tests and food cost to  name few.  Accommodation for 2 weeks with a care aid due to my disability. I will also need money for emergency medical stabilizing treatments. Also have to pay for flight and special disability transportation to and from airport here and over there. Time is of the essence for my date of action the doctors would like to start procedure as soon as possible. The total cost of all is $35,000.00 Canadian.

Please any amount would help! Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Sincerely Ron
