Jen's Next Step!

Summary Update, Jen's status:

Jen has shown improvement in a number of areas from being on the paleo diet for the past 18 months. What has happened lately, last 2-3 months, is that she has stalled. Jen is dealing with the following symptoms: fatigue, cognitive function (memory is difficult), lack of strength, poor balance, throat issues, some urinary tract issues, vision problems, and a bit of depression. Jen has to take two naps daily. Since eating paleo she has thankfully lost the body pain, choking, deep depression, as well as a couple of other issues. 
It is now time to go for the finish. To do that we need to put a new full protocol in place and we don't have the funds to do that on our own. Below are the details on what's needed.

The Request:

 We need your support and participation to follow the Wahls Protocol completely. Without going into all the details of the protocol I will provide an overview so you can see where we are and what we need.
  

The protocol consists of three areas:

      1. Nutrition - this is a modified Paleo diet high in fat (coconut & lean clean meat & fish), and high in green leaf veggies. Everything must be organic. On the meat side it must be organic, grass feed and pasture raised. Seafood must be wild caught. Costly, as you may know from experience.

     2. Exercise - Jen will be on an exercise regimen which consists of e-stim, (neuromuscular  electrical stimulation), whole body vibration, aerobic stationary bike, balance exercises, and stretching.

      3. Mental & Emotional Calm - This includes, yoga, tai chi, Reiki, & meditation.

There is also a series of tests to determine any foods that may be a detriment. Testing for any deficient vitamins which are needed. Then getting the supplements needed to insure a balance in her system.

The following item are on our wish list and we are asking for a donation of $25 - $50. If you can donate we will be forever grateful. This blog will keep everyone updated on our progress. Your help will make it possible for us to have the opportunity to accomplish Jen's healing. There have been those of you, and you know who you are, that have made a huge difference when we started on this journey and your generosity and heart supported us to get here, THANK YOU!

Here are the items and the general cost. We will do all we can to get the items at the cheapest price. If there are funds left after we get the items and tests we will stock our pantry since living on my social security is tight each month. Not much left with a week to go.

1 - Genesis Sport Whole Body Vibration machine - $2,500 - $3,000 (This machine has the 3 motions Jen needs. Most machines only have 1 motion.
2 - empi Continuum - e-stim machine - $2,200 (This machine has FEM & NMES which she needs)
3 - Vitamix Blender - $350 - $500 - we have been through 3 bar blenders since Jen's smoothies contain lots of veggies. This machine will blend almost anything.
4 - Recumbent Stationary bike - $200 - $500 Jen is unstable and needs to sit and get aerobic exercise in safety. The recubent accomplishes that.
5 - Food Dehydrator - 9 tray - $200 - $400 - These use radiant heat and are big enough for the volume we need.
6 - Lab Tests - $800 - these are not Medicare covered tests since we are using functional medicine and not the Big Pharma routine.

As you can see it is a large outlay which we do not have. Approximately $7,500. Please consider what you can. This approach will be a life long commitment for Jen. An entire lifestyle change that we hope will result in her defeating MS.
