Cure Jericho's Chronic Lyme Disease

Donation protected
I am currently in the process of healing lyme disease. I have had great success recently and feel I have got my life back to large degrees. There is only up from here.

I have been homeless for the past year, not able to work due to the fragile condition that can put me into a very dire state of collapse at any given time, and I have been struggling immensely in need of constant help. But very little avenues to pursue, and it is causing strains on my relationships with my friends or people that know me.

I haven't had all the tools I fully need to keep my health in the most optimal capacity that I know how to get to, and allow my body to do the healing.
I have lost about 40+ lbs, from not having enough food and having to eat minimally. And I have only just had enough money to rarely buy the basic vitamins that I need, yet am still needing quite a bit more in the comprehensive protocol that has been curing me.

I have been sick my entire life, infected since birth. It has progressively gotten worse over time, and I am nearing the end of this very long and exhausting process. I'm almost there... People most days look at me and don't even have a clue that I was ever as sick as I was in the past, and some people even have a hard time understanding that I'm infected and sick still. Because I look so bright most days after a lot of hard work and taking care of myself full time.

I have spent so much money treating this, and am in extensive debt to family, friends, doctors, etc.
I still have more expenses on top of this to keep up with, to make sure I keep my health stable for the next period, while I keep on curing this.
Everything I own has been sold, and that has only ever just covered the costs for medical expenses and to stay alive.
No person should ever have to spend every single dime they have, to achieve health which is what I have done. There is no support from the government on this, and even if there was. It's so minuscule compared to what is truly needed.
I have only come this far, because of the extensive debt that my friends, family and doctors have so graciously allowed me leniency with, but there are so many hardships and stresses with the financial aspect of treating this... It's almost too overwhelming, and not only just from the debt alone. But from the continued costs to be able to keep up with curing the lyme circumstances which require so many different dynamics; a lot of which cost money.


I have had to support myself this entire time, with little to no help from others until recently in the past year when i started essentially begging / finding the courage to ask for help. And it hasn't been easy... A lot of people have been there for me at times, taking a bit of weight off my shoulders. More often then not though, i get judgement and animosity from people, for being sick and in need or who think I'm pathetic and weak for asking for support in this... It truly does happen, and it almost boggles my mind how we treat other people with sickness who are so deserving of a helping hand and support from community. Those that are sick and suffering are the ones most deserving of our love and respect.
For all those who have been there for me in my darkness. I owe you the world... Thank you.

I feel like I can't carry this weight alone any longer, and I'm at a point where I can't keep going if there is no community to help me through this.

I need your help with contributions, or love and sharing this to others that might be able to help.

I have found my answers, things that work for me. It is simply a very long and drawn out process of healing the body and taking care of myself for many years.

Thanks to all my friends, family, strangers and my doctor. I have made leaps and bounds in my progress, but all my resources are exhausted to the point where I am homeless, still struggling, and just barely keeping up with the bare basics to keep me from going into remission with my progress or collapsing back to a state of illness that is disabling.

With your help, i can cure this. I can recover my body and rebuild from the 20+ years of extensive damage that has happened.
I can have my life back. I can go on to help others and help this world heal.
Thank you for believing in me. As I believe in myself.
