Jason Floyd is your typical American family man. He is married to a pediatric registered  nurse and they have 6 beautiful children... he loves spending time with them, he loves the outdoors,  and he belongs to the Catholic Church. 

And he needs your help!

Jason suffers from type 2 Diabetes, and this puts a tremendous strain on every aspect of his life. 4 times a day he must prick his finger in order to monitor his blood sugar levels, and he must inject himself twice a day with insulin. Even when you include the twice daily 1000mg doses of Metformin, Jason’s condition is hardly under control. HbA1C is a measure of blood sugar, with a healthy level considered to be below 6.5.  Jason’s consistently measures (severely) between 9.6 and 11.6.

Levels such as this create a high risk of kidney, nerve and cardiovascular complications, some of which Jason is already beginning to feel the effects. He experiences clouded thoughts,  tingling in the hands (a sign of diabetic neuropathy) and unusually cold feet (a sign of vascular inefficiency). 

In the past, managing this condition was the only option available to people like Jason. But there now is a procedure which can help people like Jason go on to live happy, normal lives without the intrusive nature of type 2 Diabetes. Medical evidence exists that shows that (metabolic hormone resection surgery) can have a tremendous effect that virtually rids/cures the body of diabetes.

Jason wants to give this a shot, so he can go back to living a normal life.

But like many Americans, the cost of health care is proving prohibitive. Thankfully through Jason's desperation and longtime research he has made a grand friend in  Dr Peter Goh,  (dr.goh@petergohsurgery.com) a world renown metabolic expert. He has agreed to performing the surgery pro bono which removes a huge part of the cost associated with the overall procedure.  Jason is able to cover his travel costs to have the operation performed in Singapore, but we need to raise a further $15,000 USD to cover the hospital costs. Without these funds Jason can’t get the operation that he so desperately needs.

If we can raise the $15,000 USD needed for Jason he has the chance to live out his life without the scourge of type 2 Diabetes, and he can serve as an example for others living with the disease that management is no longer their only option – there is a chance to remove the disease from the majority of their lives.
