Medical Expenses for Craig Norkus

Hi, my name is Mark and I'm raising money for Craig Norkus.

Craig is a proud father of two. He’s been a journalist/storyteller and video editor at KARE-11 television news for over twenty years, and a journalism professional for over thirty. Over 18 months ago, he suffered a toxic reaction following his third Covid booster shot. Since this time, he has suffered from a multitude of nightmarish, debilitating symptoms resulting from vaccine-related toxicity.

Despite Craig's reaction to the vaccine, he still understands and supports how much good that vaccines do for a large number of people. He does not discourage people from getting vaccinated.

Craig had always been extremely fit, ate well, took care of himself, had normal blood levels, and no underlying conditions. Two days after the Covid booster, Craig became extremely ill. 

After many months, it was determined that his immune system was attacking and literally devouring itself. Lymphocytes and immunoglobulins that make up the immune system were disappearing at an alarming rate. The previously dormant Lyme disease and Epstein Barr virus became active again. His body reacted by attempting to recruit other cells to compensate for the lack of an immune system, leaving him incapacitated and disabled from exhaustion.

[The above is a short version of Craig’s harrowing and ongoing fight. A more detailed account can be found here https://teamhumanity.substack.com/p/craig?sds=pf Note that this article was written in June 2023 when things were beginning to look more positive. He has since relapsed and his condition is worse than before.]

After seven months of unsuccessful, incomplete, and incorrect diagnoses, Craig found a specialist in Mankato, MN whose diligence uncovered what he calls “smoking gun blood evidence” that his body had indeed been destroying its own immune system. That cause was linked to his third Covid booster shot.

Craig has what is considered a vaccine injury, or vaccine toxification, that is a reaction to a vaccine in the body. It is now coming to light that many others have endured or continue to endure a similar fate. Dr. Pierre Kory, a world-renowned physician, and his partner have worked with over 1,200 vaccine adversely affected patients. A relatively new medical phenomenon, Dr. Kory estimates that millions could be suffering some form of complication or disability resulting from Covid vaccines.

At the time, it was a huge victory for Craig to finally receive a correct diagnosis but devastating to learn that remedies for his -and many others – condition are not covered by insurance. 

Everything that DID NOT lead to a diagnosis was covered. The diagnosis itself and all the remedies and his treatments (which are working) are NOT recognized by the FDA and thus not covered.

Craig’s doctor was able to return him to improved health by June 2023. In November 2023, his body relapsed due to the continuing toxification. Relapses, his doctor says, will always be a possibility for him. The medical regimen required to (hopefully permanently) overcome Craig’s disabling effects of toxicity include high profile ozone blood transfusions, platelet rich plasma infusions, exosomal therapy, methylene blue infusions, ivermectin, hormonal therapy, and peptide therapy.

While Craig’s immune system is in the process of being rebuilt, he continues to endure serious side effects that keep him out of work and make each day a struggle. These include neurological problems, tremors, balance loss, headaches, severe brain fog, mast cell responses, strength loss, and constantly depleted energy levels. 

Without insurance coverage for any of the treatments, Craig’s medical bills climbed to over $18,000 within the first months alone, with the prospect of many more months of care necessary to complete his treatment plan.

Not everyone has the amount of money required to continue this medical battle. Craig does not.

Craig knows that he is but one of a countless number of people whose lives have been changed – possibly forever - by this vaccine-related nightmare. Throughout his ordeal, one of his goals remains to share his story so that others are also seen, heard, and helped.

In his profession from which he has had to step away, Craig received accolades for producing stories that would shine a light on and change people’s lives, share sadness, uplift, and offer hope. Now, he is the one in need.

Please consider a donation toward his mounting medical bills which will ultimately help to restore his health and also to return to his calling and passion as a storyteller who brightens others' lives.
