A fundraiser to help Lillian's parents afford home based hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as other Biomedical interventions for 2015.
Waikato
Lillian was diagnosed with severe autism at age 2yrs and 3months, shortly after immigrating to New Zealand with her parents in 2013. Tests were carried out by a laboratory in the USA and it revealed that possible causes for her delay in development were due to gastrointestinal dysbiosis (also called dysbacteriosis and refers to microbial imbalance on or inside the body) and mitochondrial dysfunction. Treatment options for these type of conditions unfortunately do not exist in mainstream medicine and like thousands of other families in this situation parents have to seek alternative therapies and interventions. Further testing revealed that Lillian's body have a sub-optimal methylation/ detoxification profile and therefore causes a cascade of auto-immune responses, making her vital organs such as the kidneys, pancreas and liver work very hard to maintain proper functioning. Lillian's current supplementation/ medicine, therapies and diagnostic testing is not covered by medical insurance and her parents provide it all with a single household income. Her mother acts as the full time caregiver to ensure that all her medicines and supplements are given at the right intervals. We were very fortunate to have secured a mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber on a rent to own basis for home use through O2Forlife. The oxygen chamber helps fight off bad bacterial overgrowth and helps with Lillian's mitochondrial dysfunction. For her methylation shortfall we use supplements from Dr Amy Yasko, a pioneer in the field of biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology. These supplements are very expensive but we are really pleased to have seen massive improvements since having it on board as well as for the hyperbaric chamber. These two interventions serves as cornerstones for her recovery and our goal is to continue to provide these for her. With Lillian being non-verbal and only starting to walk recently we hope to explore and afford other therapies such as physiotherapy, functional neurology, neuro-feedback and ABA. Please help..
I am her father and the sole provider to our household.
Thank you! Appreciate the help :)
