Celine Dion treated by French researchers?
The release of the documentary on Celine Dion’s illness has brought the pathology of stiff man syndrome, which affects the nervous system, back to the forefront. French researchers from the IHU in Montpellier have launched an appeal to the star and say they are capable of treating her. To do this, they need ten million euros to move forward more quickly. This is not the first time that this institute has been talked about. At one time, it had been approached to treat the singer who absolutely wants to get back on stage, as confirmed by the director of the university hospital institute, Christian Jorgensen, to France Bleu Hérault.
“It didn’t come to anything, it was still very complicated to get her to come to Montpellier. The entourage of stars is always a bit strange, a bit vague, not very concrete. They are not necessarily people to whom you can propose a scientific development plan, so I don’t think that Celine Dion herself had a concrete proposal but perhaps with the press, it can reach her.”
This is why he is launching an appeal today.
“If someone today comes with 10 million euros and says to me ‘make me a biomedicine’, I’ll do it.”
And to explain why he was speaking specifically to Céline Dion.
“First, she would give a boost to research for the small rare disease community and then, quite quickly, we could offer her a specific solution. I think that for her, 10 million euros is not enough. not much, and it’s not at all a joke, if someone comes with 10 million euros to develop a biomedicine, in two years they will be ready. makes our platforms available, we provide the models that work well to check that it works, and we carry out clinical trials at the Montpellier University Hospital.”
Will this call reach Céline Dion? This would be good because it would kill two birds with one stone. 1, help research, 2, treat it. So we hope…
