Support Needed For Jerome Golmard French Tennis Player

 

Jerome Golmard the former Davis Cup tennis player from France and former no 22 ATP singles has been diagnosed with the Lou Gehrig’s disease (ASL) in January 2014.

 

Since the 14th of January the disease has developed rapidly and Jerome has lost the use of both of his legs. He is now on a wheel chair.

 

Yet Jerome can still speak as the disease has started to affect the lower limbs (unlike what happened with Brad Drewett, the former deceased CEO of the ATP who had the same disease and for whom the disease started at his vocal cords level).

 

The French Medical world has condemned him and told him that he had between 1 to 3 years to live left depending of the speed of development of the disease until it reaches his vital organs.

Possible Cause of the disease:

Jerome identified the source of the disease and the first symptoms which started shortly after undergoing 3 teeth removal in September 2013. This dental surgery triggered the disease and made him start to experience issues affecting the use of his left leg.

 

Hope? Possible therapies:

Because traditional medicine can’t help him, Jerome has started to look into other ways and was recommended to a highly recognized doctor (Johann LECHNER www.dr-lechner.de ) with 31 years of experience in treating sclerosis diseases in Munich (Germany) thanks to the use of a special ultra sound device called Cavita. Doctor Lechner gave Jerome some needed hope after locating 14 infectious areas all located in is jaw area, beneath his teeth and within the bone of his jaw. These seem to be at the source of the bacteria responsible for the disease.

The German doctor explained that if he could prevent the bacteria’s from spreading from these 14 areas by undergoing 4 removal surgery with strong localized antibiotics there is a decent chance that the bacteria could stop infecting Jerome’s body.

The German doctor has already treated patients who got over the disease and went on to live a normal life.

So even if slim, there is still a chance and Jerome is fighting hard and has decided to follow that German doctor’s therapy who is as of today his only hope as the medical world can’t do anything more for him.

After these surgeries, Jerome will start a Stem Cells injections therapy.

 

What are the ways to Help Jerome:

1. Finding more information and possible treatments solutions among our networks.

2. Communicate and send him support messages to tell him that the tennis community is behind him.

3. Provide a financial support to cover the costs of his surgery, medical bills which are not reimbursed by any insurance because they are from an alternative parallel medicine.
