Actress Claudia Rodrigues announced that she has put up part of her property for sale to pay for a $5 million (about R$26 million at current exchange rate) surgery to treat multiple sclerosis. The procedure must be carried out in the USA between March and April 2023 and brings hope for a cure.
Claudia was full of hope for the result she can achieve with the surgery, in a statement to the O Globo newspaper. “This operation will heal my effects. It’s great,” he explained.
Actress’ partner Adriane Bonato says payment for millionaire’s surgery is being negotiated. “Claudia has already put some properties up for sale. We will do other things to raise funds. She will undergo this operation. We just have to adjust the payment,” he said.
The recovery from this operation takes about a month, but Claudia was not discouraged and said that she hopes to be able to go back to work, according to Adriane. “She’s back to doing what she loves best, which is her shows. I’m going back to work too. And we pay for it,” the girlfriend assured.
The two are planning a tour once Claudia is released and want to go on stage to talk about multiple sclerosis, using the actress as an example to help others. In preparation, Claudia has even taken English classes, physical therapy and other integrative treatments.
How is the surgery?
The operation will be performed by Brazilian doctor Marc Abreu, who is a researcher at the American University of Yale. He discovered that victims of degenerative diseases have a blockage between the eyes above the nose, causing the brain to lack “cooling” and causing cells to die. “This surgery maps the body and sees what vitamins are lacking to balance the person,” explained Adriane.
“After collecting this information, the patient is placed in a machine with a helmet that receives electromagnetic waves and neural stimuli. At the same time, a cocktail is injected with everything the person needs,” he continued.
The procedure is performed without incisions and without anesthesia, but takes three days. Thereafter, the patient is under observation and will be discharged if he/she is in the expected condition. The expectation is up to 80% improvement in the aftereffects.
In addition to multiple sclerosis, the treatment also serves people with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
