André Tal, Ellen Vic and More: Success Stories of btt Treatment Against Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder caused by the progressive reduction in dopamine production. It affects motor and cognitive functions, as well as sleep, smell, digestion, mood, and more—significantly impacting the quality of life of those affected. However, the technological innovation developed at the btt Medical Institute, led by physician Dr. Marc Abreu, has been revolutionizing the treatment of patients facing this condition. In this article, you’ll learn how André Tal and Ellen Vic achieved significant improvements through btt treatment for Parkinson’s.
What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s is a degenerative disease that compromises the production of dopamine, which is essential for conducting nerve currents in the body. This results in:
- Tremors in the hands, chin or feet;
- Slowness in movements;
- Walk with dragging feet;
- Intestinal constipation;
- Muscle stiffness;
- Loss of smell;
- Mood swings;
- Forward leaning posture, among others.
Symptoms intensify over time, making simple tasks extremely difficult for patients.
The Inspiring Story of André Tal and Ellen Vic
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease before the age of 40, journalist André Tal—a reporter for Record TV since 2008 who has covered major events such as the FIFA World Cup in Russia, the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and the London Olympics—faced significant challenges due to the condition, including loss of mobility, muscle rigidity, and a diminished sense of smell. At first, André chose to keep his diagnosis private, but over time, he publicly shared his condition through a report on the Brazilian TV show Domingo Espetacular (Record TV), where he interviewed Dr. Marc Abreu and underwent treatment at the btt Medical Institute. You can watch the full report below:
In the report, in addition to describing improvements in his gait, movements, and muscle rigidity, journalist André Tal reveals: “ Parkinson’s disease made me lose my sense of smell, and now, thanks to the treatment, I can smell the shampoo in my children’s hair. It’s an emotional moment.”
After years of conventional treatments with no satisfactory results, André found hope in the btt method and experienced a surprising improvement after just one session.
Ellen Vic: Resilience and Transformation
Entrepreneur Ellen Vic also faced extreme limitations due to Parkinson’s. Intense tremors in her upper and lower limbs made basic daily tasks difficult. “Dealing with something incurable is challenging, but we can’t give up. The btt treatment brought my quality of life back.”
Ellen Vic reported remarkable improvement after just the first session, regaining control over her movements and reducing the symptoms that had been affecting her.
Ellen Vic, correspondent for the Amaury Jr. Show, also shared her story on Brazilian television, as you can see in the video below:
What is the btt Treatment that André Tal and Ellen Vic underwent?
The btt method, developed by Dr. Marc Abreu, uses Brain-Guided Hyperthermia with the Abreu btt 700 technology. The technique induces a controlled and safe heating of the patient’s body through the brain via the btt (Brain Thermal Tunnel) with the aim of inducing the production of heat shock proteins, which can aid in the neurological restoration process.
How does it work?
- noninvasive technique to treat Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and other neurological conditions.
- Activation of heat shock proteins that may aid in the recovery of motor and cognitive functions.
- Proven results supported by imaging and blood tests.
Although it is not a promise of a cure, the btt method has provided significant improvements and enhanced quality of life for its patients.
Results of André Tal and Ellen Vic with the btt Treatment
Both André Tal and Ellen Vic experienced major improvements:
- Reduction of tremors and motor limitations;
- Restoration of smell (in the case of André Tal);
- Improvement in gait and muscle stiffness;
- Restoration of bradykinesia, which is very common in Parkinson’s disease;
- Improvement in dopamine levels;
- Improved speech.
These results are proof that the btt methodology, in addition to being a noninvasive approach with no negative side effects, is an innovative and effective solution in combating the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
