UPDATE from Kraig - September 23, 2025 

Hello my friends. 

I know it's been quite a while since I've checked in but you're all always on my mind and in my heart. I suppose I was hoping the next time we talked I could tell you all that we knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. Unfortunately as many of you know life is usually not that simple. I'll do my best to share with you some of the events of this roller coaster ride we've been on. First I would like to thank you again for your generous donations, support, and prayers. As I mentioned in my last update this has helped me stay in my own home and afford medical care and alternative health treatments. 

My condition 

My speech is completely gone for now due to muscle weakness in my face, throat, and tongue. This also affects my swallowing. My energy levels vary from day to day but I'm still getting around on my own and plan to keep that going. Neurologist call this bulbar Palsy ALS based on my symptoms which they have little help to offer. Those of you who know me know that I have never put a lot of faith in western medicine. Instead I've been seeking help from alternative health sources and I think it's taking me in the right direction. So my new full time job is research and healing and managing finances. I thought touring was hard! Here is a list of some of the treatments you have helped me afford: 

  • Cranial sacral massage 
  • Dr. Makis Protocol 
  • Scalar waves treatment 
  • Daily prayer and meditation 
  • Extremely healthy food 
  • Chinese Herbalist and Acupuncturist 
  • Many supplements 
  • Dr. Kelly at Chase integrative health in Chicago.

 I have recently been tested positive for Lyme and other co infections. Dr. Kelly is helping me with this and more at her clinic with Daily IV infusions. Unfortunately this treatment is not covered by insurance and is quite expensive. I've spent all my life working hard at sharing my heart and dreams through music all across the country. I've always always been very proud to be able to make my living this way and never dreamed of having to give it up. It's very hard for me to ask for help but I'm learning that sometimes in life we need to let go and allow others to help with our struggles. I've been overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity that you all have shared with me. Thank you for being there for me on this path to healing. 

Music 

On good days I try to play my guitar and continue to record. It's a much slower pace than I'm used to but I'm grateful I can still do what I can. I really miss singing. 

Release of "Turn Your World Around" 

I wrote this song a few years back. I was in a pretty nasty hotel in Ft. Myers, FL and I couldn't sleep, so I wrote this. I'd like to thank my friends from Chicago for helping me put this together. 

Peace my friends, 

Kraig
