We are asking the government to reach out and provide funding for Gastroparesis and Digestive Tract Paralysis research. This condition has millions of suffers living, breathing, and dying every day; it's time to take action. With very little known about the cause, and no cure, suffers are generally left on their own to manage day-to-day living.
A quote taken from the GPACT website explains the vicious cycle of a person suffering from the condition: "There are few medications available, mostly geared towards symptom control rather than dealing with the underlying problem. For this reason, they are often ineffective."
Until we can cure the underlying problem we will continue to lose loved ones to these conditions. We the undersigned demand action!
