I remember the day Lynne Whatley called asking for prayer for her daughter, Amanda. She had been sick for years, feeling like she was getting tazed, and doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. I stopped by to visit and as I climbed the stairs to her room I could hear moaning. I walked in and she whispered "I'm in pain...I'm in so much pain." She was curled up in a ball on the bed, clutching her stomach. She looked up at me with tears streaming down her face. Here was someone who had gone from top-level performance as a corporate flight attendant to barely being able to get out of bed. A woman who once used her auctioneering skills to raise funds for MS research (Yellow Rose Gala), Foster Care Counts, Camp V for Veterans, Wounded Warriors, Big Dog Ranch Rescue, Child Protection Connection, and other worthy organizations - now penniless as she spent all she had trying to find answers.

Having been through years of chronic illness myself I recognized the signs and told her we needed to get her to the Environmental Health Center in Dallas. After 10 years and a $75K search, I was at the end of my rope - until EHCD saved my life. "Amanda, they are known world-wide for treating the most severe chronic illness cases. They'll figure out what's wrong and get you better."

October 20 we were able to get her into the doctor. After running tests and bloodwork they discovered she has toxic levels of chemicals, mold, and heavy metals. Her immune tests show elevated ANA levels which indicate the presence of autoimmune disease. The doctor says she is in the beginning stages of MS and if she doesn't take action now she will reach the point where her symptoms can no longer be reversed.

Amanda battles constant, unending pain from the inflammation the toxicity is causing in her body. But she is a fighter and is unwilling to give up on life or succumb to this illness. Unfortunately right now she is not strong enough to work and hold down a job to pay for treatments. To make matters worse, insurance doesn't recognize or acknowledge environmental medicine and are unwilling to cover costs. For this reason we are reaching out to ask for your help in getting Amanda's life back.

She needs heavy-duty detox treatments like chelation to get the toxins out of her body. The doctor says for her level of toxicity she is looking at $20,000. If you or someone you know is able to help we will be beyond grateful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and hear Amanda's story.
