Richard's Stem Cell Therapy
Donation protected
My name is Richard Weaver . I am a 68 year old man who is in need of assistance. I have a loving wife and I am the father of 3 children and 4 stepchildren and grandfather of 16.
I worked in the sheet metal industry for 39 years (34 in Local 91 in Rock Island IL and 5 years in Local 73 in the Chicago area ). I did work with asbestos early in my career.
In 2004 I was diagnosed with COPD and in 2013 I was diagnosed with Interstitual Fibrosis.
I did very well for about 9 years and then in 2013 I was put on oxygen (low amount of liters at first - 2 liters). I have progressively gotten worse (now on 5 liters of oxygen).
I am in the process of trying to get a lung transplant. This can take around a year. In the mean time I have looked for other therapy for people with lung disease. Which led me to the Lung Institute (nearest location is in Nashville TN)
The therapy consist of taking the patient's blood and multiplying the stem cells and then returning the stem cells to the patient via an IV. It is is 3 day therapy.
This therapy is not covered by insurance and is very costly. While this is not a cure, it has over a 75% rate of improvment. People who were on 5 liters of oxygen are now on 2 liters. Their quality of life has improved greatly.
Any help you give will be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for your assistance - Richard Weaver
