Newest Update

Journal entry by Trevor Strawhecker

Well, you guys we are in Mexico waiting for our flight back to AZ. It’s Saturday 1/9/2021. We came here yesterday stopped at the Envita office where they took a blood sample then later they came to the hotel and got Jeff to go to the Envita hospital where he was taken to a room. He was then hooked up through one of his ports where his blood was drawn and traveling through the medical and bodily system it separates and cleans out the white T-cells and the red blood cells. The procedure took about 5 hours. So over the next 4 to 6 weeks they will will feed the white T-cells to build up there immunity to duplicate and expand in numbers.... they train the cells as they develope and grow into healthy cells. They’ll grow and produce more and multiply and as they stop reproducing it’s then time for us to return to Mexico for 3 days and have them placed back into his body they will attack and eat up the damaged cells.  It’s a lot on the body so he’ll be exhausted but with time the process will come to a good place. Just like anything everybody and  our bodies react and in different ways. We’re hoping for the best. 

When we went to Mayo Clinic for radiation and a chemo treatment we then went home and did a full chemo treatment which wore him out. That’s when I found Envita the medical center in Scottsdale AZ and Mexico. The hospital we go to in Mexico is an Envita Hospital. They do not have a competitor... the international medical procedures are more advanced here in Mexico in someways they’re not on hold for the FDA approval so they have more one on one options for each individual. In the USA were so traditional for example esophagus cancer go to file 4 row 2 this is how we treat it... it is not solo individual treatment we both realized. We are in a good with Gods direction it’s not just a coincidence ....  Envita is a place that provides the medical needs and adds additional enhancements immunotherapy and holistic therapy with the three combined it’s heart mind body and soul. Good bad and the other and God is the leader of the pack! 

This is our update. Thanks for your prayers, support and time as we hit the target🎯and return home! It’s adjustments a lifestyle change👼we all have a purpose as we live & learn from each other...🤟
Always,
Sandy & Jeff
