This is an Explanation of the Medical Crisis & Systemic Failure in Standard of Care.
Osteo-Necrosis of the Jawbone (ONJ or Death of the Jawbone) is a progressive, life-threatening condition in which jawbone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply.
This condition leads to severe consequences, including:
- Severe, chronic pain and infection
- Loss of basic functions: eating, speaking, swallowing
- Permanent facial disfigurement
- Life-threatening systemic complications: sepsis, stroke, thrombotic events, organ failure
Critical Risks of Delayed/Inadequate Treatment
- Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC): Uncontrolled clotting can lead to organ damage or severe bleeding.
- Accelerated Bone Death: Untreated infections cause rapid jawbone collapse.
- Pathologic Fractures & Facial Disfigurement: The jaw may break under normal stress, leading to irreversible structural damage.
Severe Infections & Sepsis: Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream, risking multi-organ failure. - In-operability: Delays can close the window for safe surgical intervention, leaving patients without options.
Treatment Pathways & Outcomes
This medical crisis represents more than an individual health emergency; it exposes a systemic gap in healthcare policy where clinically supported treatments are denied coverage. Patients are left to choose between inadequate care and overwhelming financial burdens.
Timely HBOT-supported surgical intervention is not optional—it is life-saving. Donor support ensures access to this evidence-based care, aiding patients in their survival, restoring function, and reducing the risk of severe health complications.
Your support will help this patient avoid devastating loss of function or life. Additionally, it will assist in advocating for health policy reform that prioritizes effective, restorative care over prolonged antibiotic use.
This approach can prevent avoidable, permanent harm to patients and combat the global health risk of creating superbugs.
Please help prevent avoidable harm to many patients by participating in this fundraiser. Donate now and you will also be the first to know about the event and how this journey evolves.
