The story of Cohen Bramley from the USA, who could not eat, became widely known three years ago. The kid became a real celebrity, appearing on the covers of most major newspapers and magazines.

The increased attention of the media to the unusual baby soon bore fruit: Cohen had fans who were always ready to help him, and the best experts in the world became interested in his story. This was the beginning of a path to the better for the little boy.

Cohen as a child

Cohen was born in Ohio in the western United States. He was an absolutely healthy baby, up to 4 months he drank milk and felt good. But when it came time to start introducing solid foods into the child’s diet, the boy’s parents discovered an unusual feature in him – Cohen simply could not eat! His body began to reject food, and the baby became ill. Soon he could not even drink milk, which was the only thing he was using as a food.

The baby’s parents showed him to various specialists, but none of them could understand what kind of illness their little patient was suffering from. As a result, until the age of 6, the boy could not eat at all, and received all the necessary nutrients through a dropper. This affected the metabolism, and Cohen’s weight began to increase. It was in this form that his photographs scattered around the news outlets, overnight turning him into a celebrity, unfortunately because of his illness.

Specialists from a private university in North Carolina began to help the child. Doctors came to the conclusion that the disease is so rare that it does not even have a name yet. Which meant that it wasn’t studied and no one had the answer of how to treat it.

The boy was discharged in November 2019. During this time, the baby has changed a lot. He felt a surge of strength, and most importantly, he began to eat a little, which was a huge progress for him. His parents were the happiest and were very proud of their son.

 Habitual food contributed to the normalization of metabolism, and Cohen’s weight began to decline. For the year he got rid of 6 and a half extra pounds. Cohen is now 9 years old. And although he still often visits specialists, the boy still spends most of his time at home with his family. He tries to walk as much as possible and loves to play outdoor games with friends. He is still far from full recovery, but he is moving in the right direction and soon everything is going to be better.
