Jack Osbourne, son of the famous Black Sabbath lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, has signed an agreement to undergo a stem cell treatment in Germany, hoping that this will stop the disease from which he suffers – Multiple Sclerosis – and help medical research. The treatment is banned in the United States.
“I’m doing some stem cell treatments,” said the TV star. He will depart by plane from Los Angeles, going to Europe to undergo a treatment considered quite controversial in the United States, writes femalefirst.co.uk.
Osbourne, who made public his health problems on June 12, 2012, told Access Hollywood Live: ” There are odd restrictions here in America because everybody still thinks it’s, like, what it isn’t. So I’m going to Germany. They clone stem cells from your own blood then inject them back into you. Hopefully it will repair any damaged cells and nerves and things like that.”
But before the time comes for him to go to Germany for treatment, the son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne launched a new reality show about service dogs in the U.S., “Alpha Dogs”, a 16-part series which will start on National Geographic on Friday.
The terrible disease brought a lot of inconvenience to Jack, 26 years old. After the news of his illness was made public, Jack went to “The Talk”, a show moderated by his mother and announced: “I had just booked a job right when I got diagnosed and unfortunately the company that hire me didn’t think I could actually perform the job,” adding that he was fired by email.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disorder, autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, especially the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The disease can cause difficulty in muscle control, vision, balance, sensitivity and impaired mental function. The disease can not be cured, but appropriate treatment can slow its progression.
Jack is the youngest of three children of Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne. Jack became known after the broadcast of reality show “The Osbournes” which presented the everyday life of his parents, his and his sister, Kelly.
