Update for Josh Long

All--I have a update/prayer request for Josh

We just got Josh's labs yesterday and they show that he has a major relapse with the yeast and bacteria problem we identified in 2006. We were quite shocked. He has 18 abnormal scores, severely elevated to toxic levels. For example, his hippuric score is 4020 (normal is 10-400). He has several other problems with yeast, bacteria, krebs cycle, neurotransmitters, vitamins, and fatty acids. Not at all what we were expecting after all the intervention with supplements we have done over the past two years and currently. Please pray for wisdom and healing. Treatment will involve regular IV infusions in Austin starting in July and going back on a prescription anti-fungal medication long-term. We resumed heavy metals chelation as of June after dealing with gastrointestinal problems over the past few months. And an update on health insurance--we were formally denied coverage for our doctors who are out-of-network. We don't really have the energy to fight that battle right now. I have many new concerns as we are seeing emerging behavioral issues that are not normally part of his personality. Lab tests also show that milk is somehow getting in his diet--which he cannot digest, so we are being extra diligent about what he can eat which is already so limited.

Thanks for praying,

Pam
