 Our goals to raise awareness include:
 

♦        Holding respectful global public demonstrations to aid in removing

the stigma attached to these illnesses.

♦        Educating medical personnel, pharmacists, hospitals, and the public on

the facts of these diseases and current research being performed.

♦        Raising funding for research to identify biomarkers for proper diagnosis 

and clinical trials.

♦        Promoting FDA/government approved medications for these conditions.

♦        Advocating for more sensitive disease testing, specifically for Lyme Disease.
