TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT during Triple Giving November | All Donations to OMF are TRIPLED through December 3
Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) aspires to significantly improve patient outcomes while advancing a cure for multi-system chronic complex diseases. Never has the case for accelerated progress been more urgent.
Includes ME/CFS, PTLDS, Fibromyalgia, Long Covid, and others. ME/CFS alone affects between 17-24 million people worldwide*.
Nearly 30% of known cases remain chronically ill with a msCCD known as ‘long COVID’, and about 10% result in ME/CFS.
Millions of people with msCCD are disabled and removed from both their lives and the workforce.
Most clinicians have not been trained to diagnose and treat symptoms of msCCD.
We urgently need to understand more about the msCCD process.
The economic, personal and community burden will continue to increase.
• Is poorly funded
• Focuses on single body systems
• Discourages collaboration
It is unlikely that a traditional approach to research will generate results in a meaningful timeframe.
A new approach is needed:
• Take a systems biology approach to understanding disease mechanisms
• Acknowledge that the solution is likely to come from an unexpected place
• Agree to the urgency of finding a cure
• Emphasize collaboration and sharing of results across fields in real time.
Create a collaborative environment with researchers, clinicians and patients while working together on what matters most.
Utilize collaborative research to seek out new ideas and unconventional perspectives to solving chronic disease.
Prioritize research that accelerates outcomes regarding biomarkers, clinical trials and ultimately a cure.
Reflect the diversity of the real world in research and healthcare.
Maintain accountability of our donor funds to people with msCCDs, and to regulatory and legislative bodies.
