Review for Nevada Center for Biomedical Research, Reno, NV, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

WPI is a small, but mighty group of dedicated scientists and doctors who are one of the few institutions actually looking at the biological basis and science behind many neuroimmune illnesses including CFS/ME, autism, parkinson's, MS, and more. Looking at how the rates of "autism" have soarded- now estimated to be affecting one in every 91 children in the US, it's clear there's an infectious basis. While other organizationss waste time and money looking to exercise the demons from the CFS patients, WPI found a retrovirus that's causing persisten infection. This is a ground breaking discovery that urgently needs and deserves funding. It's esitmated 17 million individuals are living, and dying of CFS/ME- and that's not including other neuro-immune disorders like autism and MS. There is no worthier cause.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

WPI has helped me make decisions about my health and has consulted with my doctors to ensure I am getting medical treatments, not just useless psychobabble

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

provide them with more staff and more funding. They are doing an excellent job! Clone them!
