Help me beat Multiple Sclerosis!

Funds will go towards food cost, supplements, travel and medical visits and blood work.
In Feb 2013 I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS), an unpredictable autoimmune disease which attacks more women than men. I first started noticing symptoms in 2008 when my hands went numb and from there till Feb 2013 I had many misdiagnosis. By mid-2012 the numbness had moved into my feet and started affecting my walking ability. Today I live with constant numbness in my hands and feet which can get quite painful at times. I am also only able to walk small distances with my cane and struggle most of the time. Currently there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, only conventianl treatments mostly focused around toxic medications with severe and life threatening side effects. These medications can be as bad if not worse than the actual disease itself! After exploring different treatment options, (which in my case there isnt much me having Primary Progressive MS), I was introduced to Dr. Terry Wahls.
Dr. Wahls herself was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting MS in 2000. BY 2003 her MS had progressed to Secondary Progressive MS which ultimatly put her into a reclyning motorized wheelchair for four years. Thinking she was on the road to becomming permanently bed ridden she figured she needed to do some research. Using her Doctorate background and functional medicine she did research to figure out what the body really needed to repair itself and she developed the Wahls Protocol in December 2007. Within one year of following her protocol she was able to lose her wheelchair and even walk throughout the hospital without her cane. She was even able to complete an 18 mile bicycling tour that year and today lives pretty much symptom free and is able to enjoy life once again.
This is where you come in, I need your help to help me fight my PPMS. I have been accepted into the Dr. Wahls clinical trial. However, withut your financial support I would have to pass on this possible life saving treatment because I am not financialy solvent. I need your financial assistance to help cover 5 trips to the University of Iowa in a four month perid, as well as $12K alone for fresh, organic fruits and vegatables & pasture raised meats. This is because of the quantity of fresh organic food I will have to consume for the study. From what I gather the diet consist of eating 3 cups of leafy greens, 3 cups of sulfer rich vegetables and 2-3 oz of pasture raised meat protien with each meal. This will be all I will be able to consume for a while and we all know eating healthy isnt cheap. I really hate having to ask for your assistance but I really believe that I can turn this disease around and say I beat it with your help.
Hopefully thanks to this protocol I will be able to reverse some if not all of the major symptoms. I'd love to be able to walk again without my cane being able to hold my wifes hand as we walk. I would also love to be able to play with my kids without easily becoming fatigued and also do the things I love to do with my children such as hunting, fishing, hiking etc. The worst part of this disease is that it affects more than just me. Everyone around me is impacted in one way or another and that really sucks the most. But only with the kindness and generosity of your financial support will I be able to give this life saving opportunity a try. Any contrabution is greatly appreciated, there is no amount too great or small. Thank you for reading my story, thank you in advance for you amazing support.
