Review for The Cfids Association Of America, Inc., Charlotte, NC, USA
My affiliation with The CFIDS Association of America began shortly after my diagnosis with CFS in 2005, when I quickly realized that they were, and continue to, be the largest and most active charitable organization dedicated to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Since 1987, the Association has invested more than $29.5 million in initiatives to make CFS widely understood, diagnosable, curable and preventable. Over the past 6 years I've have made The CFIDS Association of America my charity of choice, as well as my source for accurate, up-to-date reporting of scientific data on CFS.
I strongly believe that their focus on research will most efficiently help us all reach our collective end goal; to understand the cause of this illness, and develop safe, affordable treatments and preventatives.
