Dr. Devin Mikles
Thank You For Helping With Fundraising
Thank you for joining us. I am so grateful to all of you who have and are still supporting me through this experience. I completed the journey to BVI and started on this miraculous medicine (FGF-1 = Fibroblast Growth Factor type 1.) It took all of the 3 people who traveled with me and I couldn’t have made it without all of them. My deepest heartfelt thanks to Victoria, Jaime, and Caleb!!! Thanks to Rhianne for her unflagging work on my behalf on the Go Fund Me page.
The Zhittya research team told us that it would take about 3 to 6 months to note significant effects and it’s been 6 months since I went to BVI and started the FGF-1. And almost as if on cue, I started having a significant measurable improvement in mobility, with less tremor, bradykinesia, or off periods, and some improvements in the fatigue. My mood is starting to elevate and I have less anxiety and depression. I still have these symptoms, but noticeably better as of this week. I have been hesitant to report because there are still ups and downs (and that is expected) with quite low troughs and some crescendo in the peak feel-better times. Then there are the psychological effects of thinking I was going to leave the planet soon, and now realizing that it's likely that I’ll be around for some time to come. Then the question arises what will I do with this new life?! Stay tuned and follow along with my experiences by reading my new blog.
A Life of Dedication:
Devin has dedicated his life to providing care to our Sedona community for over 27 years. He opened and ran Choices Integrative Healthcare for two decades offering his patients multiple systems of treatment and a wide variety of healing modalities. Forced to retire early due to the disease's progression, Devin is now in stage 3 of 5 of the disease, and requires caregivers to assist him. He has spent most of his life savings trying to find a cure or keeping it at bay and has found a new treatment! The results are proving to be extremely positive.
The Breakthrough:
Devin has been accepted as a candidate and offered a compassionate trial for this treatment that can potentially reverse Parkinson's to the level of the pre-symptomatic stage, and potentially cure this disease. Although the treatment is offered by a reputable US-based biotech company, Zhittya Genesis Medicine, (www.zgm.care) and has undergone very successful trials in the US for heart disease (coronary artery disease,) it has not yet been approved by the FDA for patients with Parkinson's in the US. It has however been approved by the Government of the U. K. in the British Virgin Islands. The treatment cost will be $50,000, plus Devin is required to travel abroad with his caregivers. He recently spoke with several other people receiving this treatment and they are reporting a 50-90% improvement, while still making good progress in their recovery from Parkinson’s.
Your Heartfelt Support:
It may take another 5-10 years before FDA approval will occur for this medicine. Devin does not have time to wait that long to receive this treatment. The progress to the end stage of the disease will occur much more rapidly from this point on.
As we gather to give thanks during this season, let's join hands to give back to a man who has given so much. Every dollar you contribute will provide Devin with the best chance to regain his quality of life. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
