Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Kelly told Entertainment Tonight that her father had one stem-cell treatment in Panama a few weeks ago to treat his Parkinson's disease. She explained, “Seeing, after one treatment of stem cell, what has happened and the progress that he's made is mind-blowing.”
She added, “He wants to get up. He wants to do things. He wants to be a part of the world again. He's walking better. He's talking better. His symptoms are lessening. He is building the muscle strength back that he needs after his spine surgery.”
Ozzy has told us before that he's often wondered how he's still alive: “I went to my doctor a while ago and he says to me, 'You know what? You're a testament to what the human body can take.' You know, Keith Richards, he smokes, he drinks vodka like there's no tomorrow, he used to do heroin, you know, I don't know how that guy's sucking in air.”
Kelly added that Ozzy is finally feeling well enough to get out of the house, but is now forced to stay home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But she continued, “Everything is starting to fall into place now, and it has given us so much hope. We are very grateful to the doctors that are helping him.”
Due to travel restrictions, Ozzy had to cancel a trip to Switzerland he was taking this month to see a doctor who specializes in treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Ozzy had previously canceled his 2020 tour plans, even before the spread of the virus, because of his health issues.
