Why
join ? We need people to work with us on this Campaign for a National ME /
CFS clinic. We have explained the reasons for such a
Clinic in the Why set up a Clinic section
of our web-site. The only
solution for ME / CFS patients in Ireland is to lobby for and
obtain a national ME / CFS clinic which would use the
successful diagnostic methods and treatments applied in the
Cheney Clinic and other similar clinics and doctor's practises.
These treatments have cured thousands of ME / CFS patients,
this is medical and scientific fact. This Clinic would empower
ME / CFS patients to take responsibility for their own
health and pursue a course of treatment which would enable
them to recover from ME / CFS.
This is something which is real, tangible and achievable in
the present.
You will be assisting us in the following:
(i) Lobby the
Irish government, the Department of Health and the HSE to
finance the building and operation of a National ME / CFS
clinic in Ireland. This Clinic would use the diagnostic and
treatment protocols used in the most successful ME / CFS
Clinics such as the Cheney Clinic in the USA where thousands
of patients have recovered from ME / CFS.
(ii) Lobby private foundations, wealthy
philanthropists and business people to (a) finance our
campaign for an ME / CFS Clinic (b) make a
financial contribution towards the site acquisition costs and
building development costs of a National ME / CFS
Clinic. This would help get things moving and encourage the
Irish government to become involved. Time is of the essence
here as there are thousands of patients enduring terrible
suffering and many are dying of complications caused by the
illness - see
Memorial section.
(iii) Lobby the Irish government, the Department
of Health and the Irish Medicines Board to designate certain
medical drugs for the treatment of ME / CFS. These
include Ampligen, Immunovir, Human Leukocyte Elastase
inhibitors, MG132, Acclydine Therapy, Klonopin
(generic: clonazepam), Olive Leaf extract (anti-viral), VegEPA
and Naltrexone. These medical drugs have been proven to be
very effective in treating ME / CFS in the USA, Canada,
Britain, Belgium, and Mexico. Research
articles have been provided on this web-site. This would
empower Irish medical doctors to start treating the illness
and bring about significant improvements in the symptoms and
lives of ME / CFS patients.
(iv) Build up a national network of patients,
carers and others to achieve the above objectives ie. a
National ME / CFS Clinic and the introduction of certain
medical drugs into Ireland. This involves public meetings in
several Irish towns and cities once a month and accompanying
planning. Work activity by volunteers every week to achieve
our objectives.
(v) Liaise with top CFS doctors, experts and
researchers from around the world and learn more about their
diagnostic and treatment protocols for ME / CFS, and how they
operate successful ME / CFS clinics.
(vi) Continuously gather and collate research
into ME / CFS and provide it on the web-site for the benefit
of all ME / CFS patients in Ireland and abroad.
We need your assistance and support to achieve this for all ME
/ CFS patients in Ireland today.
