Dearest Friends and Family,
It is with a heavy heart I write you this letter.
As many of you know, Eden is a cancer thriver having survived an advanced form of Melanoma. It was through that experience that we created our Nutrition company Feed Life. She used a conventional and complementary medecine to stay cancer free for six years.
To our worst imagined fears, in May of 2014, my darling wife Eden was diagnosed with a very rare form of cervical cancer, completely unreleated to her original diagnosis. This cancer isn't the common cervical cancer where it can been surgically removed. It most commonly presents in the lungs. She has bravely fought this battle with every known form of medicine that has been proven to be effective. She has had the absolute best in integrative medicine possible, however, we have now reached a financial point where we can no longer continue this path without some help.
Every bit of integrative medecine has the chance to turn the tide to our favour but we need to be consistent and diligent. We have assembled the best team possible with the most potent medecines avaiable to us, the challenge is that not one cent of any of the treatments is covered by our government's medical plan. So far, we've been able to cover most costs but we are now at a point where we need help to continue.
The money raised will help cover the following treatment protocols:
- IV Therapy from our Naturopath ~ $300 per visit / $2400 a month
- GcMAF - An experimental Immunotherapy given all over the world, but not in North America (https://gcmaf.se/gcmaf-science/how-gcmaf-works/) ~ $1000 per week for a 6 week protocol
- Herbal Supplements - We've assemlbled the 'biggest guns' in herbal medecines from both the Western Herbalsim and Traditional Chinese Medecine approach ~ $500 a month
- Vitamin and Whole Food Supplements - This includes Lyposomal Vitamin C, Lyposomal Curcumin (tumeric) and many others ~ $900 a month
- Ongoing visits from her team of practitioners - $500 a month
- Visit to Clinic in Mexico - When Eden is a little stronger, we are planning on taking her to one of the most highly recommneded cancer clinics in the world. This is most likely going to be in the new year. The cost for the full protocols is approximatly $600-$1000 a day for around 5-7 weeks depending on what exactly they administer.
Writing this letter and openly asking for help has been a real challenge. As most of you know, I'm not the type of person to easily accept help. I've done my best to work as hard as I can to cover things up until now, but I've reached my limit. Both of my parents have been amazingly supportive financially but with certain circumstances, it takes a community of support and help to make things possible.
We wanted there to be some exchange for your contributions. We have our Eat for Life Online Culinary Course for contributions over $150. We created this in-depth, video based training over two years and includes our best recipes for making healthy and delicious meals.
For generous contributions over $300 you'll get a seat to the in-person Eat for Life Intensive.
Both Eden and I are so thankful for all of your contstant wishes of support and love. We are grateful to have you in our lives, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Much Love,
Colin and Eden
