Boy is always hungry and weighs as much as an adult man

Too much excess weight may threaten one’s health and life in general

Excess weight is not just a feature of someone’s appearance, but it also might be a serious health problem. Actually, too much excess weight may threaten one’s health and life in general.

The case of this young boy is much more serious and even doctor’s are unable to help.

Misael Caldoño Abreu is from Brazil. Since the very birth of the boy, Misael has always wanted to eat and seems to never be full. The baby gained 3kg of weight in the first month of his life. The situation didn’t change over time. At the age of 5, Misael weighed 80kg.

After several medical examinations, doctors came into conclusion that the was suffering from a rare genetic disease  – Prader-Willi syndrome. As the disease is extremely rare, it hasn’t been properly studied yet. Children with this syndrome tend to be overweight and develop mental problems.

Unfortunately, even the best doctor’s of the country do not know how to help the boy. Psychologists and nutritionists didn’t help. Doctors prescribed him walking a lot, but he gets tired too soon.

The excess weight is eventually becoming very dangerous for the child. His parents hope to find better specialists abroad, who can somehow help Misael.

Misael started having problems with breathing while he’s asleep. If a proper treatment is not found as soon as possible, the boy’s story might have a sad ending.
