Helping Lynda

Donation protected
Lynda has always been there for others until an autoimmune disease started To diminish the quality of her life 4 years ago. It started with a sore on her left shin that wouldn't heal, that exponentially grew to a 12 x 12cm open wound that threatened her leg. It was first diagnosed as an autoimmune skin disorder, now it affects her kidneys and blood. When the treatments didn't work fast enough they got more invasive and suggested more toxic drug therapies. However, no one seemed to know what caused it was interested in finding out. So we started doing our own research, consulting with doctors and healers from a variety bod disciplines, including naturopaths, homeopaths and other researchers. We also took courses through the institute of functional medicine, which all pointed to the same issues, disruption of her body on a cellular level due to mercury and chemical toxicity, and an imbalance in the inner terrain of the GI tract.
Of course these were being overlooked and ignored by her conventional Mds. We found a functional medicine doctor in CT that understood and was trying to help, but Lynda's health took a turn for the worse, due to a intensely stressful event in our lives. A year ago, an improperly extracted abscesses tooth spread the infection to my brain almost killing me requiring emergency brain surgery followed by 2 weeks in the hospital, 6 weeks of lost work, and 50,000 in hospital bills. It was more than her system could handle pushing her body into a crisis. Lynda's been in and out of the hospital 4 times since May, getting weaker and more frail each time. Now the specialists want to try chemotherapeutic drugs to "fix"Her immune system. All of our advisors think this is a bad course of action that will only cause more damage, but none had a way to stabilize her condition until now. This is why we need your help. The Center for Advanced medicine in Cornelius N Carolina has the knowledge and the right tools to not only deal with the immediate threats, but to correct the underlying issues to help guide Lynda back to health once and for all. But because it's out of state and not considered " standard of care" none of its covered by insurance. The initial examination and testing to determine the exact treatments are 4,000.00 followed by a 5 day stay for intense therapies to help turn the corner. We have part of the costs together for the first trip down, but time is of the essence to keep Lynda from further kidney damage. Please help save Lynda and give her back to her grandchildren. They miss her smiling face and energy.
