First Posted On: July 10, 2009
Name: Joe
Age: 7 years old
Location: North Carolina, USA
Diagnosis: Autism, Ketotic Hypoglycemia, AV Canal Heart Defect, and Repaired Lung
Loan Sought: $480
Loan Needed For: Appointment with DAN! [Defeat Autism Now!] Dr. Jerry Kartzinel ($390); compounded yeast medication from Lee Silsby ($65), and shipping ($25).
Repayment Terms: 18 months ($26.67/month)
Other Notes: Joe's mom, Tara, writes, "Joe had a heart surgery at 3 months of age and a lung surgery at 3 years of age. He was diagnosed autistic at 2 1/2 years old.
Since starting his biomedical treatment with Dr. Kartzinel in March 2009, he doesn't hold his ears all the time, he has lost his motor tics, he has started saying some words, he is more calm, and his transition issues are easier.
He is so much better, but he has about 80 food allergies and has a long ways to go on healing his leaky gut."
Special Note: Joe has his next appointment with Dr. Kartzinel on July 30, 2009.
