Bud is a retired auto executive who was willing to go anywhere in the world to treat the debilitating numbness that was rapidly taking over his body. Then he found a miracle in the hands of Richard Lewis, M.D., at Harper University Hospital.

After 38 years at General Motors, Bud was enjoying his retirement. He played golf at Oakland Hills Country Club and worked out three days a week. Then, in 1998, he developed numbness in his feet. He didn't think much of it until it slowly started moving up his ankles, calves and thighs. Before he knew it, the numbness spread to his hands and started up his arms.
