Pa. Male child, 5, ‘Slowly’ Dying Seeks Treatment in China
A 5-year-old Pennsylvania male child suffering from a rarified neurological disease headed to China Tuesday for an observational treatment.
William Curtis Anthony is losing an enzyme needed to interrupt down toxins in the encephalon. The disease, called Batten disease, is “slow killing him,” consorting to a study from CBS3.com.
William Curtis, who is nearlied blind, first set about having raptus at the historic period of 3, but was non diagnosed with the disease until last April.
In China, Curtis will be the third patient of all time to have injections of root cells, taking to slow down the patterned advance of the disease. The intervention is tranquillised being tried in clinical trials in the U.S., harmonising to his parents Paul Anthony and Donna Kapper.
The slip to China, the first of three, will cost USD 50,000. To get a contribution go to curtisanthonyshope.org
