Austin McDivitt's stem cell therapy

Spende geschützt
Hello, for those of you that don’t know me; my name is Austin McDivitt. I am 23 years old and live in a small town just outside of Fresno, California. On January 18th, 2019 I shattered my t-12 vertebrae in a snowboarding accident. In result to this, my spinal cord was compressed by 50% leaving me completely paralyzed from the belly button down. During the time that I was in the hospital a dear friend of mine named Sheldon Sandstrom created a go fund me. As a result of many of your donations: I was able to pay for the portion of my medical bills insurance didn’t cover, it sustained my family for six weeks so my parents could spend that time helping me, it adapted my home along with paying for all the equipment I needed to help transition, and most importantly it helped me regain my independence. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the donations and prayers I received during that time. I was also fortunate enough to attend physical therapy after I was discharged from the hospital. Among other things, I was  able to begin walking with the assistance of braces and a walker/canes. Unfortunately, this has only gotten me so far in my pursuit of recovery and insurance had no choice but to eventually discharge me from therapy. I then began doing the exercises they taught me on my own, but have still been limited. My hopes for this go fund me is to raise enough money to pursue some form of outpatient stem cell therapy. After extensive research and consults I have narrowed it down to a single; the Bioxcellerator clinic in Medellin, Columbia. Bioxcellerator is a U.S based company in Phoenix, Arizona but work out of Columbia. They have multiple testimonials on their website from people with and without spinal cord injuries. Bioxcellerator also has interviews from athletes such as: Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Frank Edgar, Ken Shamrock, Mike Tyson, Henry Cejudo, and  many more on their YouTube channel. There is also numerous videos of people talking about stem cells from Bioxcellerator on Joe Rogans podcast. The only drawback to stem cells is the expenses. Due to insurance not covering these types of therapies the fees come straight out of your own pocket. Treatments at Bioxcellerator start at around 55,000 dollars. This includes: multiple rounds of stem cells, blood work, follow ups for a year, specialist to oversee treatments/follow ups, a vitamin program prior to stem cells, and more. Over seventy percent of their past patients with SCI regain some form of mobility. I  truly believe that stem cells have promise in the pursuit of recovery for spinal cord injuries. Regardless of whether or not you decide to donate please continue to pray for me and follow along on this journey. I have posted links to a youtube video of my physical therapy progress over the past year, my social media, and links to Bioxcellerators website/ social media platforms. Thank you for reading, Austin McDivitt.
