Help with Michelle’s treatment

Please read my mom, Michelle Nieves’s story of how Fluoroquinolone Toxicity left her in debilitating pain and almost unable to walk for the last 18 months after taking Cipro and Levaquin for an infection in Feb. 2020. As her family, we have seen first hand what it has done to her and we are so excited for the treatment she is finally receiving from a regenerative doctor after our health care system neglected her in so many ways. The total amount for the treatment itself  will cost my parents $24,000.  This has been a huge financial burden on our parents and as she continues to try to heal once coming home, more treatment may be needed in the future.

if you could please donate any amount, it will most definitely help them. Thank you all and please read some of my moms updates below.

Anybody, including the doctors who are supposed to help you, but still hand you the prescription, can Google “Fluoroquinolone Toxicity” and see just how much information there is out there showing that these FDA Black Box Warning antibiotics destroy your body. They cause so much harm that they damage your mitochondria and cause your healthy cells to die. Once this happens, there’s no coming back and free radicals are allowed to continue to cause damage systemically. Even having this info. out there and the FDA knowing of these severe and disabling adverse reactions, drs are prescribing them daily for infections that can be treated with something else. Unfortunately, Cipro and Levaquin (fluoroquinolones) to which I was given intravenously and orally multiple times have done just that to me. I also have Elhers Danlos Syndrome and already have a lack of collagen, so this explains why I have felt as if I am literally dying with the pain and exhaustion I have everyday. I can’t explain everything I feel and have gone through since being poisoned “floxxed” in 2020, but I don’t wish this in anyone.

The good news is that I have found hope in a Regenerative Internal Medicine doctor named Dr. Mark Ghalili in Los Angeles. I will be flying down there next month for 10 days for my own customized IV Therapy protocol that can actually help rebuild the mitochondria. I will also have “Red Light Therapy”. Dr. Ghalili has actually had his own life shattered by fluoroquinolone toxicity and was wheel chair bound. He found that even as a dr, conventional medicine failed him, and he turned to stem cell therapy and has made a full recovery. He is so passionate about helping others who have been floxxed, that he started his own regenerative medicine practice. I have faith that I will see some improvement after this treatment, but know I will never truly be the same. If I can even get 10% relief and be able to be the mom, wife and nana that I haven’t been able to be, it’s worth it to me. Unfortunately, health insurance does NOT cover this type of treatment. My treatment itself will cost $14,500. We will be paying for it out of our savings/retirement. I’m having a hard time feeling guilty for having to spend so much money on treatment, but also know the best investment you can make is in your health and at this point it’s the only chance I have. All together it will cost us close to $20,000 for treatment, flight, rental car, lodging, Martin’s lost wages for 10 days in Los Angeles. I have researched and read of so many others who are suffering and can’t afford this opportunity, so I feel very blessed that we had some savings to turn to. I am feeling a great desire to get involved with spreading awareness on these horrible medications and what they have done and I plan on asking my dr how I can get more involved.

Update 8/16/21

Information overload today for sure and I now know my life will never be the same after being “floxxed” by Fluoroquinolone’s in 2020. I met with my hero Dr. Mark Ghalili, who was wheelchair bound by Fluoroquinolones himself. I started my customized IV therapy treatment program today, and for the first time in 18 months, after SO many doctor appts and crying out for help got me nowhere with conventional medicine and our shitty health care system, I KNOW I am in the right place to save my life. Within the last month trying to walk with the pain I have has become so hard and I noticed I started dragging my feet at times. I told my family I wasn’t sure how long I would be able to walk unassisted and fears of needing a wheelchair were in my future. I have a lot to learn and become accustomed to for life. I’ll explain more at a later time. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads and cares about what has happened to me. I love and appreciate you all.

Update 8/18/21

After only ONE IV Therapy and 2 Light Therapies, it’s ALREADY helping me walk better and without so much pain. I had my 2nd IV & 3rd Light Therapy today. Although Dr. G thinks I’ll need Stem Cell Therapy which I haven’t shared yet. He’s trying to get my mitochondria back to life first, hence the intensive iv therapy of peptides, the best supplements anywhere and I’ll get the list of other iv stuff and what each helps with to share later, because I can’t remember it all. Doing Growth Hormone shots at night for a month and so much more I’m trying to wrap my head around still. I will need to change a lot of things in my life, but the treatment comes with an amazing Functional Health Coach who will help me along the way keep healing. We’ll see if stem cell is next. Just need another $9,500. For now, I’m very optimistic with how things are going so far.
