M.E Sufferers Malta
Welcome to M.E Sufferers (Malta).

"Most people in Malta have never heard of this chronic condition and this has had detrimental effects on both our health and well-being.  Lack of Awareness about ME has left ME sufferers feeling misunderstood, alone and emarginated, so I was hoping you would spare some time to read about this debilitating disease."

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is defined by the World Health Organisation as a neurological illness (code WHO-ICD-10-G93.3). With at least 250,000 sufferers of ME in the UK alone, many of them children.

At present there is no medical diagnostic test for ME and no known specific treatment or cure.

How you can help:

Dr. David S. Bell MD, FAAP has issued an open appeal for funds to be sent to the Whittemore-Peterson Institute (WPI) in order to speed up the progress of the current XMRV research (www.wpinstitute.org/xmrv/index.html), fearing that “the current political and scientific organizations who do not want to see retroviral involvement will attempt to stifle studies on XMRV in CFS,” while “Huge amounts of money are spent on studies on cognitive therapy…”

There may be 10 million ME patients in the world. If every person with ME, maybe even their family and friends, send just $10 (roughly equivalent to €8) to the WPI, we would be able to raise quite a sum!

You can call WPI to donate, send them a cheque or use this PayPal™ link to make a secure online donation - http://www.wpinstitute.org/help/help_donation.html

Thank you!
