There is little consensus on how many cases of Scleroderma exist world-wide. Estimates range from 100,000 to over a million. Scleroderma is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms may also be symptomatic of other diseases. There is no known cure for Scleroderma today. Although physicians can and do treat symptoms, the key to finding a cure for Scleroderma comes through research.
Research requires funding, funding requires publicity and education .
The task of raising money for Scleroderma research is hampered by the fact that so few people have heard of it. Above are the faces of some of my friends who are Scleroderma patients. Won't you please help them by raising public awareness of Scleroderma. Please tell someone about Scleroderma today. Both Doctors appear in Volume 15 where they discussed causes, and treatments including stem cell transplantation.
