Birch Storey Needs Us - Stage 4 Cancer
Donation protected
Our beloved friend Birch (Catherine to some) has spent a lifetime healing others. Many of us have been brought back to radiant health through her skills with Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, acutonics, and other therapies. She now needs all the healing help every single one of us can muster.
She has Stage 4B cancer
The last few months have tested all of us, but Catherine received this worst possible diagnosis the very day we went into COVID lockdown. No longer able to treat her patients, she has spent the last two and a half months researching every traditional and experimental strategy under the sun. Given her positive response in the past to immunotherapy, which gave her 6 years of remission, her best option is to go to a German run cancer clinic called VeritaLife in Mexico. There she will receive a treatment of chemotherapy combined with immune therapies that are specific to her form of cancer. Her insurance will not pay for the treatment.
The Treatment
VeritaLife is offering multiple immune drugs concurrently with insulin potentiated chemo, shown to have a 50% better response rate than traditional chemo as the insulin targets the cancer cells directly. She will also receive several other aggressive alternative treatments shown to make the chemo and immunotherapy drugs more effective. In comparison, the best option she has found in Los Angeles is a clinical trial where she may be in the placebo group and which uses a single immune drug that has only a 10% chance of being effective against her form of cancer expression.
Funds are needed immediately
Time is running out. More than two months have elapsed since she was told that without treatment she had a year to live. She needs to begin treatment immediately, and treatment can begin as soon as we start raising money. She need not wait until we reach the entire goal, and any extra funds will be directed toward second level immune therapies.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated
These are very challenging times for all us. And for many, finances have become tenuous. The vulnerability of asking for money is never easy, and this timing makes it even harder. But the need is now. So we humbly reach out in hope that you can offer what you are able. All donations are gratefully accepted, no matter the size. The speed with which she receives the funds may make the ultimate difference.
Please, share this far and wide, with personal notes. And alert anyone who may have known her over the years. Her gratitude is immense and she thanks you profoundly for keeping her in your heart. If you have an idea that you think might be helpful, please reach out to Francis.
And thank you.
