First of all a huge thank you for looking at my page. My story is long and drawn out it's been 7 years of ill health to be precise, I'm now very ill - with out proper specialized functional/medical help/input or treatment. Living in New Zealand has been very limited on the type of medical help available to me and we, my husband and my family have exhausted every avenue of any type of therapy available and one functional doctor, his practice is five hours away. I have a phone consult with him every month and have to travel once each year to visit him since my return to New Zealand from South Australia. He is willing to work with Dr Jay Davidson to help collaborate in my path to wellness. His website is https://drjaydavidson.com/

I/we have now come to the point of desperation as I haven't responded to the little bit of treatment that has been on offer B12 injections which I inject myself weekly. Supplements to support my immune system. Oxygen tank at home. A super healthy diet but now mainly juicing for breakfast and lunch because food and eating in general cause dizziness and seizures. I have been diagnosed with CIRS Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. So now everything I eat or take to fight the chronic infections I respond with an inflamed brain neck and lungs.

My heart is continuously missing beats every day it stops for seconds at a time and the seizure like episodes are relentless, every week for the past five years. I'm exhausted as is my husband who is my full time carer he is beyond tired we have been fighting for so long now everyday is a battle. We do our very best to be proactive in what we have got, a small rife machine = Bio Resonance Machine. Diet, supplements and oxygen

We have no precise treatment for Lyme Disease and Co infections, CIRS or mold toxicity or POTS. I have tried Chelating heavy metals but have had two failed attempts at the protocol of DSMA due to continued seizures I have not walked unaided for five years when I go out I'm in a wheel chair or use a cane to walk down the drive my brain shuts down and my heart misses beats and my breathing is labored. I have been through the hospital system - when I first arrived but was told that my IGenex test was a false positive and I was to go home and there was nothing they could do for me. I have a local G.P. who does not know what or how to treat me and so has handed me over to the Naturopathic doctor whom I've had for three years with little movement towards restored health. We want to get Dr Jay Davidson on board he headed up the Lyme Summit and is a very experienced Doctor in this field. His wife almost died from Lyme Disease with complications and so has first hand knowledge of what is needed in order to regain health from chronic complex illness. This is why we/I am asking for help financially to meet the cost of Dr Davidson.

Use of funds

To meet the cost of Dr Davidson consults for 9 months and further testing with focused treatment plan. The New Zealand dollar is low and so the cost doubles once converted to American dollars I need treatment to stop the seizures and declined health.
