Help Celeste reduce her high levels of lead

Last October, I started suffering from a kidney ache, low energy, and a noticeably dampened immune system. I was tested for the expected kidney stones, kidney disease, etc., but recieved no answers except that I had nothing to worry about and to wait for my symptoms to pass. But after two months, none of the symptoms had alleviated. Thankfully, I found Dr. Morcom at Integrative Wellness Rx who looked at the WHOLE picture, and after extensive blood tests, he found high levels of lead in my blood. Not only did he find high levels of lead, but more importantly, he found the source. I have a gene mutation called MTHFR which currently lowers my body’s ability to detoxify, process folic acid, and affects neurotransmitter & DNA synthesis as well as other core biochemical processes of the body. The good news is that this gene mutation is completely treatable and my focus is now on detoxing my body of lead and any other damage that has been done.

After formalizing a plan with my doctor, I realized I was nowhere near close to having the funds necessary. The lead detoxification process is long and complex one. None of this detoxification process will effect my current situation in any major way and I am grateful to be finally coming to a solution for these symptoms I have been feeling for months now. I greatly appreciate any help and support toward my situation because the health of my body is imperative to my livelihood.

My Story:

I have known since I was 11 years old that I wanted to be a professional ballet dancer. Since then, I have gone through rigorous training and dedication to make this a reality.  Moving away from home at age 17, I devoted my life to achieving this dream of mine. Three years ago, I received my first professional contract which has been a dream come true. I can’t say how blessed I feel to be able to do what I love every day, and I want nothing more than to continue pursuing this dream and developing my career as a professional ballet dancer. This fundraiser is extremely important to me because my health is everything. 

As many of you may know, being an artist is incredibly demanding, but also incredibly rewarding. However, it is rarely a place that creates financial margin or excess. With my current financial situation - I need help. The process for detoxifying my body requires 5 full detoxes, lab work, follow-up consultations, and supplements to support my health and energy levels as I go through this process. All of this is well beyond what I can afford. I greatly appreciate your support towards my journey back to a healthy, lead-free body.

My Medical Plan for a full recovery from lead-poisoning and the damage it has done to my body:

1.       $525 - Black Box Detox I (due to the high levels of lead in my body, this detox is required for my organs (particularly the liver and kidneys) so that they are ready for, and not damaged by the heavy metals detoxification

2.       $870 - two rounds of Black Box Heavy Metal Detox. (Approx. 2-4 months of getting these heavy metals out of my body)

3.       $200 - a blood work lab to check where my lead/heavy metal levels are at

4.       $800 - Gut work detox and to repair all other damage that has occurred within my body due to the lead-poisoning

5.       $400 - my 4 follow-up consultations

Goal: $3,795

Living the life of a professional ballet dancer and having lived on minimal finances since I left home, I understand what it is like to be on a tight budget. Anything helps! Even just a small donation is deeply appreciated. I did not want to burden my parents with this financial responsibility which is why I have taken it into my own hands to raise this money for myself. I am deeply grateful for you all for supporting me and my health during this time. Thank you!

Love,

Celeste
