In the past he was submitted to multiple allopathic treatments, including corticoids and immunosuppressors. He also suffered a chronic anemia by vitamin B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism and chronic constipation. He was medicated with opium 1 M following the first appointment at the Homeopathic League of Rio Grande do Sul, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in October 2015.
