"In 2014, I met Dr. Jório Santana and his work. Still suspicious, I had my surgery a month later. Eight months after the surgical intervention, I feel like a new man, my hair has regrown, my joy of living has been renewed, I have rejuvenated, and I think I gained a few more years of life. Looking at myself in the mirror today, I am sure that there is nothing wrong with the design of the creation of man: He gave us free will."
