The real situation of Michael Schumacher has been kept from the public since his horrible accident on December 29, 2013, in the French Alps. The family of the Formula 1 legend has been adamant in protecting the details about Schumi’s health condition despite fans’ insistent demand for updates. This, however, pushed some to create speculations about Schumacher’s current situation.

Rumors are rife that Dr. Philippe Menasche is performing "experiments" on Schumacher. The news broke after it was revealed that the F1 champion was moved to Paris last month for a stem cell therapy. No other details were made public but speculations suggested that the husband of Corinna Betsch got transfusions of inflammation-reducing stem cells.

Menasche was quick to defend himself and said that his team is not doing an experiment at all. He also warned the fans of Michael Schumacher, as per news.com.au, that he does not perform miracles.

Dr. Philippe Menasche was the first surgeon to ever conduct a heart stem cell transplant successfully. Before his name was linked to Schumacher and his family, Menasche stated that there has been great progress in the said procedure over the past 20 years.

Meanwhile, an unnamed source told Le Parisien that the seven-time world champion is conscious. The French news outlet reported that Schumacher was treated twice at the Georges-Pompidou hospital under a fake name.

Though these reports could be true, it is important to note that the family of Michael Schumacher has not confirmed any of these claims until now. Thus, fans should take these unverified claims with a grain of salt.

For starters, Schumacher suffered serious injuries when he hit his head on a rock while skiing in the French Alps five years ago. The German racer was, immediately, placed in a medically induced coma. Two years later, Schumi was moved to the University of Lausanne before he was transferred to his mansion in Switzerland.

The Schumacher family maintained that details of Michael Schumacher’s health will remain a top-secret as they want to protect their privacy as much as possible. They, however, appreciate the continued support of the F1 legend’s fans and his devoted supporters.
