Prof. Mike Chan Unveils Groundbreaking Parkinson’s Treatment Protocols at KPJ Sabah

KOTA KINABALU, Sabah (Aug 16, 2025) — At a packed luncheon talk hosted by KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital, Professor Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan, founder of European Wellness Biomedical Group, delivered an eye-opening session on innovative treatment protocols for Parkinson’s disease, offering fresh hope through regenerative medicine and targeted stem cell therapy.

The “Save Brain, Save Life” forum, organised by KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital in collaboration with the Sabah Parkinson Association and the Sabah Healthy Ageing Society, brought together doctors, caregivers, and patients for a day of education on brain health and neurodegenerative diseases.

The event featured expert talks, including a luncheon talk by Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan on his holistic regenerative approach to Parkinson’s disease.

A Global Health Crisis Demanding Precision

Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder of the nervous system, affects more than 10 million people worldwide. It is characterised by the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra—a key region of the brain responsible for controlling movement. Over time, this leads to tremors, muscle rigidity, speech difficulty, and significant deterioration in quality of life.

Prof. Chan, a globally recognised pioneer in organ-specific precursor stem cell therapy, addressed these challenges by highlighting an integrated treatment model designed to not just manage symptoms, but reverse underlying damage.

“We don’t treat symptoms, we treat systems,” Prof. Chan told the crowd. “Our objective is to restore dopaminergic neuron function, reduce neuroinflammation, and promote neuroregeneration. That is where the real transformation begins.”

Treat the Brain, Support the Body

Prof. Mike Chan spotlighted new advances in combating neurodegenerative diseases through a precision-based medical approach. His presentation detailed a personalised, science-driven approach to Parkinson’s, combining diagnostics, regenerative therapy, and supportive care.

His protocol involves:

• Targeted precursor stem cell therapy for affected brain regions:
  • Substantia Nigra – the key dopamine-producing region
  • Basal Ganglia – responsible for motor control
  • Frontal and Temporal lobes – linked to memory, speech, and cognition
  • Corpus Callosum and Medulla Alba – essential for inter-hemispheric communication
  • Cerebellum – coordinates gait, balance, and fine motor control
• Personalised peptide therapy for long-term maintenance and cellular communication
• Continuous blood and biomarker monitoring to guide real-time adjustments

Prof. Mike Chan stressed that “not all stem cells are alike.” In regenerative medicine, precision is everything. “Every type of precursor cell has its own molecular signature, its own blueprint,” he said. “You can’t use a generic cell to treat all diseases.

We follow the principle of Similia Similibus Curantur—‘like cures like.’ That means using substantia nigra cells for Parkinson’s, cardiomyocytes for heart conditions, hepatocytes for liver repair.”

Case Study: Parkinson’s Reversal in Malaysia’s Former Deputy Police Chief

Prof. Mike Chan shared a compelling case study of Tan Sri Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin, former Deputy Inspector-General of Police, who turned to European Wellness after conventional stem cell therapies in Korea and India failed to show improvement.

“When I first met him, both hands couldn’t even hold a cup. I could barely understand his speech,” Prof. Chan recalled. Within just two weeks of treatment, Tan Sri Bakri experienced dramatic changes: reduced muscle rigidity, improved speech, and the ability to walk and drive again.

“Now I feel OK. I feel that I could regain my movement,” Bakri said in a previously recorded interview. “I gained my confidence back. I’m driving, lecturing, and back to living.”

A New Era in Parkinson’s Care

European Wellness’s regenerative medicine protocols are now being used in more than 80 countries, with growing interest from neurologists and geriatric specialists worldwide.

“Our goal is to not only reverse what’s lost, but to slow and delay future degeneration,” said Chan. “It’s about giving patients back their dignity and their independence.”

As Prof. Mike Chan explained, addressing only the brain’s neurons is insufficient. The surrounding support structures—the glial cells, must also be treated. “It’s not just about neurons,” he said.

“The astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, microglia, they all have a role. In Parkinson’s, these cells become dysfunctional due to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress,” he added.

Chan also noted that many Parkinson’s patients exhibit environmental risk factors such as exposure to industrial toxins or microtrauma to the brain. “We’ve also seen cases linked to prior concussions. Brain trauma accumulates over time.”

The talk concluded with a Q&A session where Prof. Chan emphasised the need for ongoing support and realistic expectations. “Results may vary, but what’s important is continuity, regular monitoring, yearly therapy, and maintaining cellular communication with peptides.”

Joyce, representing the Sabah Healthy Ageing Society (SHAS), expressed her gratitude after the session: “It was an honour to meet you today, Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan. Thank you for your inspiring and insightful sharing — it felt like turning over a stone to uncover hidden truths about healing. A truly eye-opening and enlightening discovery.”

As Parkinson’s continues to affect millions globally, Chan’s message of hope resonated with many in the room.

“We can’t stop Parkinson’s completely,” he said, “but with the right tools, we can slow it down, reverse key symptoms, and allow people to live meaningful lives again.”

For clinicians, patients, and caregivers in attendance, Prof. Mike Chan’s talk demonstrated how precision regenerative medicine can restore function and hope for Parkinson’s patients, offering a new paradigm of hope for those affected.

The organisers also praised the session as a milestone in promoting precision brain care.
