The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Diseases

[PlateletGal]

I'm very excited about this new institute ! Annette Whittemore's daughter has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and that was the inspiration for Mrs. Whittemore to start this national research institute.


Goals listed on their website:

To facilitate and advance patient care
Research the pathophysiology of neuro-immune diseases such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, atypical MS, and autism
Develop therapeutics, diagnostics and prevention strategies for this spectrum of diseases
To advance and support medical education and physician training

I agree.. this is EXACTLY what we need. And I'm happy that this center is allocating funds and including other neuro-immune illnesses such as autism and atypical MS. If I remember right, they are also doing research on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

That is exciting.  To have a place that will spend it's time researching these specific illnesses is just what we need.  I'll be looking forward to reading their articles and any progress they make with their studies.  Thanks so much for sharing.
