The call to Céline Dion to find her treatment

#MONTPELLIER Christian Jorgensen, director of the IHU (Immun4cure university hospital institute) launched an appeal to Céline Dion. He judges that with financial assistance from the singer, his teams would be able to develop a treatment for the illness she suffers from, stiff person syndrome.

"It’is not a joke, if someone today comes with 10 million’ euros by telling me make me a biomedicine, I do it. In two years, it will be ready, he declares to France Bleu.

An amount which represents "not much" for Celine Dion. The professor says he got in touch with the singer's teams, but this "didn't follow through".< /p>
