PHILADELPHIA - Oct. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Stop CAID Now (www.stopcaidnow.org) announces a call to action "Bringing home the CURE for the holidays". The campaign kick off begins November 1, 2015 and goes on to the 2016 New Year. Support from several celebrities have already started pouring in. The goal is to raise $1M.
All donations are going directly toward funding the final phase of approval for a drug that was developed by Maryland Rheumatologist Dr. Oliver Lawless. This drug secured a 2011 US Patent on a DNA Vaccine to up-regulate suppressor and is in the process of going through the FDA. Dr. Lawless has functional data already on the outcome responses for this drug and has developed it to treat children and adults with auto-inflammatory diseases. However this drug shows promise to treat more than just those who suffer from auto-inflammatory diseases, like alzheimer's and epilepsy.
Chief of Allergy Immunology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Dr. Kate Sullivan recently addressed the urgency for the effective treatment and cure of childhood auto inflammatory diseases saying, "Childhood auto-inflammatory diseases are life threatening, damaging, and energy sapping. It’s time to move from treatment to CURE!"
Stop CAID Now is committed to seeing the CURE become accessible to all children suffering from CAID and time is of the essence. Founder Lisa Moreno-Dickinson says, "Some chidlren and adults are running out of time and there is a drug that could cure them, we just need it to be accessible. For some families this is the only hope they have left," whose son Brody who has no prognosis asked Santa for the CURE so that all children suffer from CAID would be healed. For Moreno-Dickinson this battle is not only something she is passionate about but a personal one for her as well, her oldest Aidan has been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos and Mitochondrial which falls under CAID.
This year Stop CAID Now wants to bring the CURE home for all the children who need it. To help children suffering from CAID, text 41444 and type CAID into text box for further instructions. Help save a life.
About Stop CAID Now
Our mission is simple, to Educate, Provide Awareness, and Fund Researchers who are committed to finding a cure.
StopCAIDnow is focused on providing tools to better educate Doctors and the community on Childhood Auto-Inflammatory diseases. There is such a strong need to understand these diseases so proper diagnosis can be made, and treatment can be started. This will help alleviate the inflammation process, and the pain that comes with it. The need for proper diagnosis is urgent for the prognosis of these diseases. If left untreated, damage to the tissues, organs and vision(for some) will not only be irreversible, but devastating. The foundation is working amongst top Doctors and Pathologists who are researching better ways to treat, educate, and find a cure for CAID.
Awareness through media, functions and conferences is also part of our mission. It is the Doctors and pathologist who are doing the work. The goal for StopCAIDnow is to help them and spread global awareness (stopCAIDnowInternational), and fund their efforts in helping find a cure for these painful and debilitating diseases. StopCAIDnow is proud to have funded the first CME course in the nation on CAIDology to help educate many physicians and those in the medical field throughout the US and in Europe on these complex diseases. StopCAIDnow is proud to have the first Clinic for CAID at the Cleveland Clinic. Those suffering needed a remote place where they could be properly diagnosed and treated by Doctors doing the research on Auto-Inflammatory diseases.
