Help Support My Recovery from Disc Replacement Surgery

Donation protected
Hi Friends,

I’m writing this with a bit of hesitation and vulnerability—I’ve never done a crowdfunding campaign for myself before, and honestly, it feels uncomfortable asking for help. The truth is, the last two years have been the most challenging of my life, both physically and emotionally. After a potentially life-changing major surgery and a lot of reflection, I’ve decided to share this in the hope that some of you may be able to support my healing journey.

I recently underwent artificial disc replacement surgery at the C5 through C7 level, which means I now have two artificial discs in my neck. While the surgery itself went smoothly, recovery is a long road—and I want to give my body every possible advantage to heal fully and avoid long-term complications. My goal is to return to the gym and regain the active lifestyle that keeps me strong—both physically and mentally.

To support this, I’m looking to begin a recovery protocol involving two research peptides:

BPC-157

TB-500

These compounds have demonstrated significant potential in studies for accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting soft tissue recovery—especially after orthopedic and spinal surgeries. I’m not trying to be political, but I do believe the pharmaceutical industry would prefer that these healing peptides remain less accessible. Regardless, I’m hopeful they can play an important role in my recovery.

Why I'm Asking for Help:
These peptides aren’t covered by insurance and can be expensive. I debated whether to even post this, because asking for support isn’t easy for me. But I know that healing well is worth putting my pride aside. I’m not expecting anything—just opening the door.

What Your Support Will Cover:

Purchase of high-quality, lab-tested BPC-157 and TB-500

Guidance and oversight from a medical professional

Follow-up care and monitoring during recovery

Thank You for Reading!
This is a vulnerable ask, but it’s made with hope, humility, and a real desire to get back to feeling like myself again. Thank you for any support, encouragement, or shares you can offer. It means more than I can put into words.

With Love and Gratitude,
John
