Sevenpointfive has been helping people feel better for many years now. The testimonials prove it. But sometimes people can't afford our products. People who we feel need it the most.

Like Ndumiso Ngwabi. His full story is here, but the short version is that both his parents died in 2005 when he was 14. Then 2 years later he got Lupus. Then his kidneys started to fail. Then he got TB. Now he can’t get a kidney transplant because the TB won’t clear. We believe we can help, and so we have been. And after a month he is feeling more energetic, his blood is improving, he has started putting on some weight and his nature has changed from defeated to positive.

Considering we are a business in the business of helping people, its hard to see people like Ndumiso go without our product. Its even worse spending money on adverts to tell people about Sevenpointfive when we could be using it to help people who really need our help. So, we need you. We need you to tell your friends, family, work colleagues about Sevenpointfive. Get them to like our Facebook page, and for every person that 'Likes' our page, we save R10, which we can put to our Angel Program. We're donating R25 000 to each Angel Program recipient.

Its the easiest, quickest, cheapest way for you to help people.

Sevenpointfive Angel Program: Ndumiso's Progress

Ndumiso has not had the easiest life. He lost his parents, and then got severely ill. So much so that he needs a kidney transplant. Which he can't get, because he has to get over the TB he contracted.

As is to be expected, he does not have a positive outlook for the future. But Delia Chabant from Sevenpointfive's Umhlanga branch has not given up. The Sevenpointfive protocol has been helping him, but unfortunately he can't afford to keep on it. And so the Sevenpointfive Angel Program came at just the right time. We're sponsoring his product and consultation needs for the next 6 months so that hopefully he will be well enough to finally get his transplant.

After 5 weeks, this is his progress:

Delia says: "He has been seeing me every week for a follow up for the last 5 weeks. I still have him on high doses of the product to speed his recovery.

From our point of view, he has made remarkable changes, the most notable being in a new zest for life. It is quite unbelievable how his personality has leaped out and he is chatty, smiling, asking questions, interested in life again.

It is amazing and Kirsty and I get super excited every time he visits. His blood has also shown some real changes and improvements, free radical damage (the sign of red blood cells being attacked by chemicals etc) and echinocytes (indications of kidney stress) are not as abundant as they were. He has gained some weight and has a bit of colour back in his cheeks too. His pH level is better and he is now a convincing 7.0 over the last 3 weeks."

We hope Ndumiso goes from strength to strength.

Our first Angel Program recipient

We are glad to announce Ndumiso Ngwabi as our first Sevenpointfive Angel Program recipient. Our Umhlanga branch submitted this plea:

"Ndumisa is 20 years old and has been coming to Sevenpointfive since the 12th January 2011.

He lost both his parents in 2005, 2 months apart from each other. He lives with his gran who brings him on a regular basis for appointments and is constantly in and out of our offices purchasing products for Ndumiso.

In 2007 Ndumiso started experiencing joint pain and swelling around the ankles and thighs. This led to further investigations and he was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis in 2008 and potential for kidney failure. Ndumiso was also diagnosed with TB of the brain in the same year and completed a 9 month TB treatment in January 2009. He is also asthmatic. Ndumiso takes a lot of medication to assist with kidney function and the symptoms related to kidney failure, including blood pressure tablets, diuretics and he uses an asthma pump and Budaflam over and above this. He currently dialyses 3 times per week at Addington hospital and is also constantly getting pneumonia from the hospital visits.

As a result they have had to postpone the kidney transplant for a number of years as he is not consistently healthy for a long enough period to allow for a safe transplant. His sister is also his perfect match and his donor!!! Ndumiso has a fistula in his left arm for ease with dialysis, this unfortunately causes the arm to swell constantly and the swelling has become so severe of late that there appears to be bleeding under the surface of the skin.

He has been on our Sevenpointfive products since January and has only had flu once and no severe bouts of pneumonia to date! He was hoping that the kidney transplant could take place soon, but in February this year his specialist decided that he needed another 6 months TB treatment. So the op has once again been postponed and the effects of the heavy TB treatment have taken their toll on his health. Fortunately he was taken off 2 of the TB meds recently and as a result has felt a lot better without the nausea and poor appetite.

His life is not an easy one for a 20 year old. He started a job a short while ago and had to abandon it as the constant lifting of heavy boxes caused his arm to swell and it was too painful to continue. He also has dreams of becoming a pilot or at least being in the aviation field but his health has once again been the reason for this not to be realised. The family have been religious in keeping him on the Sevenpointfive program and although his kidney function has not improved much, whilst he is on the Sevenpointfive products his overall health has been better.

We would love to help him stay strong enough to get his new kidney and then help him on the road to recovery thereafter. I know that a helping hand with some products over the next few months may well be exactly what he needs to motivate him to pull through till the operation. He is a very special young man and deserves a fair shot at life!"

A stirring story indeed. And so we have agreed to cover his Sevenpointfive product needs for the next 6 months, whatever doses he may need so that he can regain his strength and get the help he needs to be healthy again.

We will keep everyone updated on his progress.
