<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Binks Action Alert</strong></span></p>
<p>A blogger-friend of mine, Alisha De Freitas, is a young married smart chick with a wonderful husband, Keiron, and a dear little daughter, Zoe.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">She <a href="http://www.eastofeden.me/blog/i-almost-died" target="_blank">also nearly died this month</a>.</p>
<p>Sadly, her U.S. insurance company is insisting that the treatment recommended by her doctors so <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_inflammatory_demyelinating_polyneuropathy" target="_blank">her life-crippling disease</a> to go into remission is &#8216;exploratory&#8217; and so medically optional. While her body attacks itself, slowly destroying her nervous system. CDIP is a bit like Multiple Sclerosis in the effects, and progression.</p>
<p>Prayers, wisdom, and any suggestions of how to make her case more public gladly will be all received.</p>
