Help Ella Heal & Beat Lyme Disease!

Donation protected

For the past two years, Ella Garner has been suffering from the following symptoms: severe flu, weight loss, liver issues, muscle contractions, brain fog, loss of use of certain limbs, abdominal pain,  speech issues, and she has lost her singing voice, all with no identifiable cause or cure.

She has searched for a diagnosis & for treatment for this mysterious illness throughout France, but all the tests showed nothing was wrong, even though the doctors could clearly see the symptoms and their effects.  She continued to get worse, until she sought help from her osteopath who finally gave her an answer - Lyme Disease.

Because Lyme is severely under-diagnosed and under-recognized in France, the tests that her previous doctors ran couldn’t detect it.  It’s also under-diagnosed in the US, but it has been put in the spotlight with several celebrity patients such as Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, and most recently Justin Bieber.  If caught in the early stages, the disease can be treated with antibiotics; however, if left unchecked, complications involving the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur. 

The longer this goes untreated the more severe the symptoms get which is why Ella’s condition has reached this stage.  She has been dealing with severe headaches, neck pains & stiffness, heart palpitations, facial palsy, and arthritic joint pain for the past year with little to no relief. 

Since she requires more advanced treatment due to the delay in diagnosing this condition, she has been blessed to find proper treatment in the US. This treatment is NOT a cure, but it is the best-case scenario that would place her in remission.  This will give her body a greater chance to recover.  Her treatment will consist of 2 weeks of care at the facility, as well as the need for accommodation and flights.  The total cost of this treatment, medication, and follow-up care is $17,648. After which, there will be other follow up session and she will continue with natural supplements.

We are creating this GoFundMe campaign to help with as many of these expenses as possible. Ella is committed to documenting every step of her journey in order to help other sufferers of Lyme disease in France who cannot get the care they need and raise global awareness.

This is a long process,m but one that Ella will get through with your support to help make that happen.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
