Help Gary Remes "Rahasya" — Wegener's Vasculitis
Donation protected
Since 2011, Gary Remes – known to many friends as Rahasya – has been offering pain relief in Boulder via his original, unique body work system: NeuroFascial Re-Education™. His almost miraculous ability to re-educate his clients' fascia and nervous systems to let go of painful patterns has brought relief to thousands of patients, both human and canine – and amazed medical professionals. (See https://nfrlivepainfree.com for more info.) And Gary's big heart, generous nature, and endless supply of jokes and stories have cheered our spirits the whole time.
Now Gary needs our help. Ten years ago, Gary was diagnosed with Wegener's Vasculitis, and was treated with chemotherapy and steroids over a period of seven years, after which the condition seemed to go into remission. Now the condition has returned. Wegener's Vasculitis, also known as Granulomatosis with Polyangitis (GPA), is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the blood vessels. He has a great doctor with functional-medicine perspective managing his care. He is being treated with a form of low-dose chemotherapy specific to Wegner's, but which has significant side effects, such as very rough digestive issues, fatigue and pain.
Gary can still work when his energy is good, and he loves to work as much as he can. It's his greatest pleasure to help clients feel better in their bodies, Most days he can still do his "magic" in spite of his physical symptoms. Working with clients has energetic and emotional benefits for Gary and helps heal his own condition as well. So don't hesitate to make an appointment with Gary during this time.
But it takes significant time each week to visit his doctors and receive treatments. Other times he does not feel well enough to meet with clients. Gary's available working time has dropped by about 50%, so he is having financial challenges. Out of pocket medical expenses from the previous bout with Wegener's depleted his savings and has left him in debt. That's why I'm starting this GoFundMe – to let all of his friends and clients know about this situation. GoFundMe is a great way for people to contribute whatever amount feels right to support Gary through this difficult part of his life, and hopefully to a full recovery.
Financial worries are a lot of stress and an additional negative factor within Gary's health issues. Therefore, we are hoping to raise $39,000 to keep our Gary hanging in there, get out of debt, and to continue working for the rest of this year, without as much worry about paying his bills.
Please give what you can! Gary Remes is a man of completely unique talents and capacities. The world needs him around for a long time, healthy and strong, to keep relieving pain and making people laugh. Love you, Gary!

PS: Gary is also in the process of developing training materials and curriculum to teach his system to others. I have been helping him with the graphics and this will be a high-quality, fascinating course of study when complete. But with his medical issues, the project has come to a halt. It would be so wonderful if he could finish his teaching course, and then train others to offer these amazing benefits to more people. Your contribution helps this teaching course to move forward.
