Where are the cures?

When I came across this site today, I was both saddened and outraged.  I’ve been living with an autoimmune disorder for nearly seven years now so obviously the issue of finding new treatments for chronic illnesses is a highly personal one for me, but as the video on the Where are the Cures website so succinctly explains, 1 in 3 Americans lives with a chronic and/or life-threatening disease and these diseases have a $1.3 trillion dollar a year impact on our economy so it really is something that we should all be concerned about.  Check it out and if you like what you see, sign the Patient’s Manifesto.  Let your voice be heard!

    Courtney,
    Thanks for posting about the Patient’s Manifesto — we need to join our voices and make more people aware of the problems slowing down the development of treatments and cures for so many diseases.

    Best wishes,
