Foundation for Total Recovery

With your help, finding a cure for neuroinflammatory disease IS possible

December 19, 2022/in News/by Gary Kaplan, DO

Have you ever seen a brain on fire?

I see it every day and it is tragic.

So debilitating.

So exhausting, it’s all many of my patients can do to get dressed and come to the Kaplan Center to see me.

Some are children and teens confined to a wheelchair. Many are suicidal because they believe this is all the rest of their life holds. And the frightening thing is I can’t promise them they are wrong.

That’s why I’m writing today. Because your donation can truly help stop this tragedy.

And in this season of love towards all people, your year-end help should go where you can feel you truly made a difference.

I formed the non-profit Foundation for Total Recovery because I know what causes this scourge.

Incredibly, I have discovered that conditions including:

  • Chronic Pain Syndrome
  • Chronic Migraine
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Lyme Disease
  • PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • PTSD

are not diseases in themselves, but actually symptoms of an underlying inflammation of the brain – a neuroinflammatory disease causing a “brain on fire.”

I know it is stunning, but it is also absolutely true.

I established the Foundation for Total Recovery in 2015 to provide support and find a cure for all who suffer from chronic pain and depression by educating patients, building an online community of patients, doctors and researchers, partnering with leading researchers, academics and innovators, and studying data to find a baseline approach to diagnosing and curing neuroinflammation.

The Foundation serves thousands of people, nationally and internationally, through a variety of research and outreach programs, specifically our annual autoimmune focused conference.

Our mission is to better understand, diagnose, treat, and ultimately prevent the progression of neuroinflammatory disease.

I believe it’s a noble mission.

Your investment and support will help us complete the funding to continue driving change for a critical group of underserved people.

Blessings of the holiday season to you and all you hold dear.

Thank You and Happy Holidays,

Dr. Gary Kaplan
President, Foundation for Total Recovery

PS: I am eternally grateful to you and promise I will fight for these suffering people every day of my life as a physician and healer.

They tell me people always read the PS so here is my message: Thank you, have a happy and healthy new year, and please: CLICK HERE
