DEFI Ripple Effects

I was driving back from Wellington to the Wairarapa and as normal was listening to Radio New Zealand (RNZ).The program cut to a story about Medicalised Ketogenic Therapy and its usage in treating Epilepsy. From the story I learned that while the therapy had great results, it was very expensive and not funded by every NZ DHB. Expensive monitoring and expensive to buy the nutritious high fat foods

Our NZ expert gave an example in the story, explaining how one child reduced seizures from 60 per day to 30 after 7 days of MKT. To effect change on Epilepsy the target for children is as a high as 90:10 (Fat:Protein+Carbs).

So… What to do? Well, four things.

The 1st is to raise money. The 2nd is to invest the money so that it pays for ongoing help for NZ families whose kids need MKT. The 3rd is to raise awareness about the benefits of MKT and the cost savings it can present to our health system. And the 4th is to look at other causes I can bring under the same “Raise:Invest:Do Good” approach.

In Feb 2023 I restructured the charity so other causes could be helped via DRFX. The first is HEAT which will help families in the Wairarapa get access to dry firewood. Saving money each month for it to be doubled in value in firewood for Winter. Donations will help pay for firewood processing or buying it in for distribution.

I will run half marathons and get sponsored. Come and join me, or sponsor me, or donate or all, everything helps. Please tag donations as DRFXMKT or DRFXHEAT or DRFXBOTH
