Give Life to Tiffany Khong
Donation protected
Please meet my best friends, Tiffany, and her husband Jason. They need your help to give Tiffany a chance at life. She has been diagnosed with a rare disease that has made her allergic to everything and nearly every food. Because of that, she is suffocating from the inside out from a lack of oxygen. It is called TILT, Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance. Here is a link that further explains TILT: http://discovermagazine.com/2013/nov/13-allergic-life. It was caused by drug poisoning by taking prescribed Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs(NSAIDS) in college- 2,000mg a day for 2 years. She was diagnosed with her illness in 2015 by an out-of-state licensed medical doctor who specializes in Environmental Medicine. Her disease is so rare and so new that does not even have a healthcare code yet, and it is unrecognized by any doctors in the area. For this reason, they are having a lot of trouble getting help for her condition. This is why I am asking you to please help them raise money to save her life. A timeline of what they went through in order to reach her diagnosis is below, but in a nutshell, she suffered drug poisoning that led to organ damage, she became allergic to almost everything, and she is now so severe that she cannot leave her home. She will die this year if they can't get treatment for her. They have been to every doctor that their insurance recommended and have been told that no one can help them and that Tiffany has no hope of survival. They did their own research and were able to find one at-home, all-natural treatment that can save her life.
It was developed by a doctor of Orthomolecular Medicine and it uses maximum nutritional methods to restore the body naturally. This treatment has cured a variety of diseases and restored the body and it has been used for over 60 years. It is completely non-toxic, uses no chemicals, and has been given endorsement by Prince Charles of England himself for its ability to cure 'incurable' diseases. It is called the Gerson Therapy. This treatment procedure is used by two certified holistic clinics in both Mexico and Hungary. It is unfortunately not available in the United States due to it being an all-natural treatment that has cured cancer. However, it has been scientifically-proven, and it is also backed by studies by doctors, PhDs, and scientists. This includes studies done by members of the University of Minnesota, University of Victoria B.C., and District Hospital Graz, Austria. Jason and Tiffany have already undergone online training for the treatment and are eager to start as soon as possible. But because it is nutritionally-based, it is expensive and will have to be paid for completely out-of-pocket.

Here is a story about a family who did the same therapy for their son who was allergic to all food:

Treatment Cost:
With this treatment, Tiffany will be consuming 140 pounds of food a week. It will cost around $1,700 a month, and Tiffany must do this treatment for at least 3 years in order to be fully healed. Her brain and nervous system are damaged, and the brain will take the longest to heal. They will also have to pay for the supplies needed in order to start the treatment. This includes a fridge large enough to hold 140 pounds' worth of food and a Norwalk Juicer priced at $2,500. Additionally, the funds will be used for past Hyperbaric Oxygen expenses and buying medically-accomodating household items such as air purifiers and a specially-made mattress. In total, the treatment, supplies, and everything they need will be around $100,000. In order for the treatment to work, it must be consistently done every day; therefore, they need to raise all of the money before starting the treatment. It is not covered by any health insurance and they are running out of time.
Please help save my friend from this rare illness by donating. Tiffany is deteriorating quickly. I do not know what I would do without her as a sister, and I want her and her husband to have a happy, healthy life together. I hope that you are able to put yourself in their shoes and understand what a trial this is for both of them. It is so hard for both of them and they deserve a long, happy future. If you cannot donate, please share their story and ask others to share it, as well. Tiffany really needs your help. Thank you!
The full story is below:
The Full Story:
In 2012, when Tiffany was a freshman in college, she developed a painful knee condition. Her doctor at the time prescribed her 2,000mg of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) a day for pain. Tiffany took this dose of NSAIDS until 2014. During this time, she was in and out of a wheelchair due to her knees.
In 2013, Tiffany began showing early signs of neurological and gastrointestinal damage. She was unaware that the NSAIDs were causing these problems. She had surgery during that time and was given multiple medications after the surgery. She also began taking birth control at that time. Her neurological signs became worse. Her hands, fingers, wrists, and eventually her arms began showing signs of damage.
In 2014, Tiffany had developed further symptoms, such as vomiting, as a result of being prescribed new medications. She also began to notice that she had lost her ability to gain muscle. She was still trying to get out of her wheelchair at that time, so she did her own research and decided to stop taking the NSAIDs. She had completely stopped taking the NSAIDs by the end of 2014. After stopping the NSAIDs, her vomiting stopped and she began walking again. However, her brain, nervous system, and immune system that had also been damaged from the NSAIDs remained suppressed and damaged.
As her illness progressed, Tiffany began to notice that she could not be around air fresheners from Bath & Body Works. She still did not have a diagnosis at this point.
In 2015, she was officially diagnosed out-of-state by a doctor who specializes in Environmental Medicine. Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance is an illness that is new to mankind since the Industrial Revolution. It affects every part and system in her body. Tiffany could not tolerate synthetic substances at first, but as she became worse, she became allergic to natural substances, as well. Buildings made her sick, perfumes, soaps, laundry detergent, supplements, carpet, friends' homes, animals, medicines, stress, etc. Her immune system has been triggered so many times that it is to the point that she is now allergic to nearly all food and she has malabsorption, meaning that her body will not absorb the nutrients from the food that she was once able to eat. Her adrenals, liver, gut, brain, nervous system, blood, pancreas, and immune system are all damaged and dysfunctional.
After being diagnosed out-of-state, Tiffany came back to her local doctors for help. They all told her that there was nothing that they could do. All of them used pharmaceuticals as treatment, and Tiffany is allergic to them because they are chemicals. They even tried allergy shots, and supplements from the doctor who originally diagnosed her, which only made her condition worse. Basically, Tiffany was given no hope.
After Tiffany's local doctors gave her no hope, she began researching alternative options. She discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which helps oxygen reach her brain and all of her tissues. This therapy improved Tiffany's condition in the fall of last year, but it cannot save her on its own. After almost dying last year, Tiffany was told by the doctor who diagnosed her that she and her husband could not go back to their carpeted home because it would threaten Tiffany's health. So, while they were being given no hope by local doctors, they had to donate almost all of their belongings, down to their clothes, and start over.
Tiffany is getting worse every day. Her newest allergies are to radiation -her microwave, cell phones, and wifi. She can no longer use her iPhone.
Here is an article that discusses the radiation that comes from these items:

She is so fragile and weak, she is housebound and is living off of juices made with 100% natural carrots and apples. These juices are the only thing keeping her alive. Her body is using her muscle tissue to compensate for lack of food. She is losing weight and is fading quickly. This is a physical, life-threatening illness that is killing her.
This treatment is my friends' last hope and their miracle. After doing this treatment, Tiffany will be able to eat food again and heal her body naturally from the inside out. Please take the time to look at the links that are provided within this story. There is proof that this treatment method works. More information can be provided about the therapy if you would like to know more of the scientific basis. Tiffany and Jason can be reached through the contact email on this GoFundMe.
This is their last hope for her. They need your support so that they can continue to count their years together and focus on God’s plan for them.
They have used their entire savings to keep Tiffany alive. Any contribution would be a complete blessing to the Khong family. Thank you for your time, your blessings, and for reading.
