When folks like you do things like this, it is a precious gift to everyone.

This treatment is truly astonishing, and you sir are a hero in my book for showing the rest of the world what you went through to get here. The amount of courage you have is commendable!

T-Cell therapy, a person paralyzed for 20 years able to walk again, DBS, and everything else being done... It's amazing. Medical science is really picking up and I am loving seeing stories like this. It gives me hope, and it warms my heart to see people like yourself able to regain their previous mobility/lifestyle.

My grandfather had Parkinsons. He passed away in 2010. He lived a fairly full life and got into his 70s. I'm glad there are more options for people with Parkinsons now.

Thank you Harry, I underwent this procedure over a year ago with Dr. Ron Leavy at Kingston General Hospital. We had been waiting for the new technology to be approved by Health Canada in time for my surgery. Fortunately as luck would have it I became the 2nd person in Canada to receive this marvelous technology. Your experience is identical to mine so in that way I feel very connected to your story.

That's a really humble guy.

Beautiful story. Over the course of many years, I watched Parkinson's slowly take away bits of my father's life. I wish that he would have lived to see such incredible treatments. I have read quite a bit about DBS treatments, but this is best film I have seen showing the results. Thank you for sharing your story! My prayers are with you.

Wishing you all the best Harry. Stay positive.

Just excellent! I’m so pleased for you! I used to nurse and have seen many Parkinson’s sufferers and even have friends with it. It’s wonderful to see you before…. And after surgery and the fine tuning! Long May your better health continue! ❤
