<div>Hi, I’m Vinny.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here is a first update, guys.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I am honestly still mind-blown by the amount of love, support, and healing energy coming through this space. Just after a week of donations! Because of you, I am realizing that I will be able to give my health a real boost. This includes peptide therapy again, IV vitamins, blood ozone filtration, and immune-modulating herbs and mushrooms to support my recovery and my ongoing fight with mold exposure, Lyme, and MCAS. I am deeply grateful. This support is already changing my life and giving me real hope moving forward.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined I’d be here asking for help in public but after a year of severe health crashes an unhappy immune system and a body collapsing, I’m out of options.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I’m raising funds for urgent dental surgery by a Biological Dentist </strong>in Perth on February 4th to heal a jaw infection that’s been silently damaging my health for years after wisdom teeth removal 20 years ago.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This infection combined with previous health issues is now triggering full-body symptoms. I need to act now or it will only get even worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ What’s going on?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, I’ve battled extreme health conditions: mold illness, Lyme disease, co-infections and mast cell activation syndrome (severe allergies that forced me to sleep outside in a tent to recover from mold toxicity). I thought I was on the other side at the end of last year but, <strong> 2025 made me collapse.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● I was hospitalized with pericarditis, then pneumonia a week later. That was just after 3 days being in a closed conference room with 100+ people on the Gold Coast at the beginning of 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Since then, I have lost again my ability to work, focus, or think clearly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Chronic fatigue, pain and inflammation have kept me bedridden most days this winter, and I felt the infection in my jaw worsening. A 3D cone beam scan confirmed it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● My immune/energy system is now attacking my muscles and joints. Extremely high creatine kinase on blood test after an effort. Half a day of work will create that and cause my muscles to break down (on the edge of rhabdomyolysis). I then need sometimes 3–4 days of rest and water depending on the intensity of the event. I also deal with an extremely sore body, especially in my legs, lower back, and severe abdominal pain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● My physical and mental capacity has collapsed, and because of this and my existing fight with Lyme disease and mold toxicity, I’ve been unable to save those past years and cover my urgent medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I always told myself: “Once I make enough money, I’ll finally get the treatments I need.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I focused on trying to build a new business last year, but the commitment to it, combined with my situation this year, also had an impact on my coaching business, which was already just enough to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am now at that emergency point, and I don’t have the financial capacity to take care of it on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What the funds will support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● $6,000: Surgery, flights &amp; accommodation (Perth – Feb 4th to 11th)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● $2,000+: Post-surgery recovery: After care medical support and treatments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Stretch goal: IV vitamins or peptides therapy &amp; (EBOO) ozone blood filtration if funds allow. These would help me a lot in recovery and calming down the MCAS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why this matters:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about my jaw infected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is about giving my body a fighting chance to heal from other conditions I have been dealing with for years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been doing this alone for too long. But now I’m asking for help cause I was wrong to wait and not talk about it on a bigger scale. I did not have the capacity to navigate the journey with everything going on. Brain confusion, overwhelm and ADHD has been at a peak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you can support, through donation or simply sharing this page, I’ll be forever grateful. It would mean the world to me.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Optional Support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’d like to support me in other ways, I have my websites and the work I do helping people with health challenges and low-tox living. I will soon share more of my healing journey on Substack.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Practical support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am also looking for practical support around the Surf Coast Shire or online to help me get my life back in order. I have been living in complete chaos for months. My thoughts and life is disorganised.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been living in a cabin with a camping setup on a beautiful piece of land for the past 5 months, which I’m grateful for, but without a proper kitchen or structure it has been very hard to take care of my health and nutrition. Winter in Victoria was extremely long, and many days I simply didn’t have the strength to cook outside. Getting help to build a small kitchen setup in my van and bring some stability back into my environment would support my recovery in a major way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part of why things escalated to this point, I think, is because first, I completely abandoned myself and I didn’t want to ask for help again. I felt bad needing support again after everything so many beautiful humans in my life have already done for me over these past crazy years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for reading.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much love,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vincent
</div>
