    Ryleigh Jones was a happy, lively, normal 8-year-old girl until she was injured.
    March 23rd, 2022 Ryleigh lost feeling and ability to walk. With the diet change she has begun to walk again but the limbs have no sensation. Ryleigh no longer feels when she urinates. This is a tragedy to her Mom and Dad.
    Between the 15th of February and April 20, 2022 Ryleigh has been admitted to VCU Health system 11 times and they have been unable to diagnose her properly. They say that Ryleigh has a disorder called Functional Neurological Disorder. We do not believe this to be true as she is only 8 years old, and this diagnosis would be unheard of at this age.
    Ryleigh has undergone extensive medical procedures such as EEG, MRI, and a lumbar puncture, all of which have come back clear.
    We still have no diagnosis for our beautiful, loving girl. If you’ve known Ryleigh, you know she loved life, school, friends, baseball, and dance.
    Ryleigh has suffered significant memory loss to the extent some times she doesn’t remember her dad and me or her family and beloved dog Buddy.
    Ryleigh was injured on January 6, 2022, and was diagnosed with COVID on January 12th. During COVID she had a straight 48-hour fever and lethargy.
    On March 24th, we took Ryleigh to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where we were quickly shut down because they pulled our record from VCU Health System, so they could not truly do an extensive workup on Ryleigh. JHH did not help us much other than running tests that suggest Ryleigh may have Porphyria and Celiac disease.
    As of 4/25/2022, Ryleigh has improved slightly because we changed her diet significantly. Gluten-Free foods and plant-based organic foods are all that Ryleigh can eat as of now. As you can imagine, for an 8-year-old, this has been significantly challenging.
    We have several upcoming outpatient appointments to determine further what damage has been done to our loving little girl.
    Ryleigh's blood work has not been explained to us, and there are no explanations for why her SED rate, CRP, and other tests are elevated.
    Please consider helping us figure out what is happening with our child. We have accumulated over $13,000 in medical bills, and her treatment is ongoing we may also have to have an attorney.
    Thank you, and hug your child tight because tomorrow may not be the same.

    Sarah Choujounian
    Co-Founder Canadian Frontline Nurses
    Registered Practical Nurse, RPN, Ontario, Canada

    Sarah Choujounian has been a nurse since 2004 & has been working in a nursing home for the greater part of her career. In 2017, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which was the catalyst for her life-changing actions. Through natural healing, she got completely clean, lost 60lbs & healed herself from most of her fibromyalgia. Her transformation was so incredible that she decided to give back & became a facilitator to survivors herself. She is known to be the voice of the voiceless & she intends to keep it that way.

    Sarah was fired from both of her nursing jobs, her license is under investigation, and has been defamed by the media for speaking out against the lockdowns. She is the co-founder of Canadian Frontline Nurses, an organization aimed at uniting nurses, educating the public & bringing ethics back into healthcare.

    She is presently working on creating the mental health initiative “Lighting Up Dark Corners”, created to empower people to explore the root cause of their mental health challenges & discover natural ways to heal & rise.

    I am Dr. Bryan Ardis, D.C.
    In early 2020 I lost my Father-in-law because of ill-advised hospital protocols. Since then, I have been on a mission to help educate the public about the dangers to Americans in many of our "institutes of health".

    I am passionate about exposing the corruption of the medical system and the powers that be in this country. My focus is on medical freedom, education, and waking up the world with the truth.

    I hope to inform, inspire and empower those struggling with personal health issues. I promise to deliver real research and applicable information that can free people from emotional despair and fear created by symptoms of disease and disinformation.

    Ardis Labs and the Ardis Healing Center have helped thousands of patients from all over the world, including from countries as far away as the Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Barbados, Italy, Scotland, and many more.

    I am the CEO of ArdisLabs and Host of The Dr. Ardis Show.

    I sold the Ardis Healing Center in October of 2018 and now consult the three practitioners who have taken over the practice, which now carries the name North Texas Healing Center.

    DR. RICHARD M. FLEMING, PHD, MD, JD

    Cardiologist, Nuclear Cardiologist
    Certified in Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
    Juris Prudence Doctor of Law
    Researcher
    Inventor
    Author

    Dr. Richard M. Fleming is a Nuclear and Preventive Cardiologist, born and raised in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. He attended the University of Northern Iowa and has degrees in Physics, Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. He attended the University of Iowa College of Medicine, Creighton University and the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. In addition to training in Cardiology he has special Certifications in Positron Emission Tomography. He was Board Certified in Internal Medicine in 1990 and Nuclear Cardiology in 1996. He developed both the Unified Theory of Vascular Disease establishing 'Inflammation” as the cause of coronary and peripheral vascular disease and the Quadratic Blood Flow Equation for Coronary Flow Reserve in the early to mid-1990s. He has published more than 50 papers in peer review medical journals, over 50 presentations at scientific conferences throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia, has authored 8 chapters in Medical Textbooks and written 3 independent books on Health Care. He has served as Faculty and a Professor at various Universities and in 2003 received a Physician of the Year award. His current work on SPECT Cardiac imaging promotes the detection of Vulnerable Inflammatory Plaques (VIPs) through reductions in radiation dosage by using principles similar to the detection of black holes and dark matter.

    In 1994, Dr. Fleming presented to the American Heart Association his "theory" that cardiovascular disease was due to inflammation. What was theory in 1994 has become well known fact for decades and was highlighted in 2004, with a feature on ABC's 20/20 News.

    Patent # 9566037 was issued to Dr. Fleming on February 14, 2017.

    The Fleming Method patent (FMTVDM) covers ALL methods and devices able to measure metabolic and regional blood flow differences. This breakthrough made it possible to differentiate functionality of tissue, tissue types as well as non-tissue, and the measurement of treatment response using all isotopes, enhancing agents and devices capable of detecting and measuring isotopes.

    Developing technology that disrupts the methods of conventional medicine is not always welcomed. Especially when that technology would half the revenue a $20 billion nuclear isotope industry. When physicians bring innovation to medicine, complaints to medical boards often follow along with court cases, which is why it's called, "Disruptive Technology."

    After my second dose 2/12/21, less than 36hrs post V, I had nausea and GI issues and then breathing trouble.  Exactly one week post V, secondary to hypoxia from respiratory failure, I was placed on the ventilator for the first time.   This was the first of 5 times on the vent, 4 life flights, 6 different hospitals in 2 different states, 1 inpatient rehab facility for a month, Outpatient and home health PT/OT/SLP, Outpatient Pulmonary Rehab, 2 surgeries including tracheostomy and implanting suprapubic catheter, placement of feeding tube for a month, ongoing monitoring of 5 different specialists and my Primary, multiple tests/imaging, and 24medications… And yet still a year later, no huge improvement and more questions than answers.  During this time I went from 3 meds to 22 medications, from walking/ jogging and working out to only able to walk short distances with a crutch and requiring wheelchair for longer distances and requiring supplemental oxygen and a tracheostomy to breathe, being an active mom of 3 to struggling to find enough energy to get up and do normal daily care, from working full time as a Physical Therapist to now unable to work, going from having previous diagnoses of mild intermittent controlled asthma, Mild HTN, and occasional migraines to.... having added all the following diagnoses: Respiratory Failure with hypoxia, Severe/moderate restrictive lung disease, Severe Persistent Asthma, idiopathic laryngospasms, vocal cord dysfunction, gastroparesis and needing a feeding tube at one point, GERD, GI bleed, Blood clots, Bacterial Pneumonia, Sepsis, Unspecified Neurological Disorder, neurogenic bladder requiring suprapubic catheter placement, muscle weakness, Ataxia, Hyperreflexia, Gait Abnormality, spasms, acute and chronic pain, critical myopathy, and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.  I have been getting passed from doctor to doctor with no real answers just treating the symptoms with bandaids until the next big thing pops up.  Last year my medical bills added up to more than 1 million dollars billed to insurance and between what was not covered and billed to me/ medical equipment/ and loss wages this added up to thousands in bills just last year that still continue. I’m currently trying to save up enough money obtain a better wheelchair as mine is too heavy and did not prove support I need, a portable oxygen concentrator so I don't have to haul O2 tanks around, and pave our driveway to come closer to the house to gain easier and safer access to my home. I’ve been blessed to be able to pay monthly bills throb since savings and my previous work benefits but all these medical and other expenses are becoming overwhelming. I've just started a Facebook business  Nikki’s Nik-Naks to attempt to sale some crafts I've been making to help offset these expenses but it's not taken off yet. 
    A year ago I had no idea how much my life would change medically, physically, socially, emotionally, and financially... one shot, one decision to do what I thought was doing my part as a healthcare provider, was the one event that would forever change my life and set forth a cascade of medical and life events that I and my family are still having to deal
    I just want the SAME medical support and effort to figure out what is going on in my body, AS THE SAME amount of effort, financial, and social backing that was put into the support and promotion of the one thing that caused it! ❤  #Realnotrare #IWantToBeHeard

    My name is Ernest Ramirez, I was a single parent who lost my son a few days after he received the shot. My son Ernesto received the shot, and following his death, the only explanation I gave was an enlarged heart. My son was in good health and regularly played baseball since he was 7. Advertising claimed that the vaccine is safe for adolescents, and this convinced me to book Ernesto Jr. for the jab on April 19th. Five days later, he died. I need to spread my story so that, hopefully, no one else will go through what I’m going through. Ernesto Jr was my world, and I feel I need to fight for him and others that are also suffering It kills me to come home to an empty house. We need to yell, we need to fight, we need to do something. His life was worth much more than what the Government or anybody else thinks, I love the hell out of my country, but I do not trust my Government anymore.” According to his autopsy, Ernesto died of an enlarged heart five days after the jab, which showed his heart was double the normal size.
