Help Haines Heal

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Ryan Matthew Haines better known as Matt, or it was. That guy no longer exists; he died in October 2020, or at least any remnants of a normal life did. Untreated Lyme disease and multiple co-infections including bartonella and babesia were not caught for three years and have run rampant, wreaking havoc on my entire body, particularly my brain, central nervous system, heart, and spinal cord!

As a consequence of this disease, I have developed severe health issues, largely neurological and musculoskeletal, including widespread neuropathy, vagus nerve damage, CCI or craniocervical instability (severe bobblehead), as well as entire spine instability, aka "looseness" or "lax ligaments", POTS, coordination issues, cerebral tonsillar ectopia (cerebellum sagging into the spinal canal), among many, many more!

Unfortunately, this level of health issues has put me out of work for nearly four years, hardly able to bathe or drive and I am continually denied disability four times and counting even with an attorney. I have completely exhausted all options via the Western medicine route, and none of my treatment options are covered by insurance. We are spending $2k a month on diet and medication alone, and another several thousand every eight weeks trying to glue my spine back together with PRP and prolotherapy injections. We are currently using my mom's inheritance for any treatments, and that's not gonna last much longer. At this point, nothing has helped, and I am considering going to either Mexico or Germany as a last resort to a clinic that specializes in lyme and co for treatment if I can get the funds.

Any donation is greatly appreciated; every little bit helps, and all is going towards medical expenses and fighting towards any chance at a new life and hopefully one day ending this dreadful disease.
