Free Forum for Juvenile Diabets
For Immediate Release:
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) & Med Help International Open Online Forum for Patients and Their Families Melbourne, Florida/www.medhelp.org /August 5, 2003 --- Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Med Help International, Inc. are pleased to announce the opening of the Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes Forum for patients and their families, on the Med Help International website. (www.medhelp.org - then click on the word DIABETES which appears in the left column. The Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes Forum was created to provide a convenient way for people who have personal concerns about juvenile (type 1) diabetes to ask questions and receive answers from other individuals who are personally affected by juvenile diabetes. After a new diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, fear, anger, sadness, and confusion about how to manage diabetes can leave families feeling alone and overwhelmed. JDRF volunteers are now available in the Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes Forum to answer questions. In addition, if people just want to communicate with someone who has "been there", the forum is now open! Whether you or your loved one is newly diagnosed or you have ongoing questions and needs, JDRF volunteers are in the forum, ready to lend their support. JDRF's mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. The JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile (Type 1) diabetes, and their volunteers have each made a promise to someone they love to do all they can to find a cure - sooner rather than later. It is these personal promises which animate their efforts and drive them, unrelentingly, toward their goal. The perseverance of their volunteers, working in collaboration with their professional staff, has resulted in JDRF becoming the world's leading charitable funder and advocate of juvenile (type 1) diabetes research. JDRF volunteers come from all corners of the globe and work through more than 120 Chapters and Affiliates, worldwide. Med Help International is dedicated to bringing people together with the best medical organizations, experts and support in the world, via the Internet. Since 1994, Med Help International has been consistently ranked one of the best consumer health websites on the Internet and has received nearly every Internet achievement award. Through the new forum, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Med Help International hope to provide a universally accessible electronic environment in which people personally affected by juvenile (Type 1) diabetes can interact and help one another deal with the daily challenges of life with diabetes." Forum topics/questions include: (but are not limited to) Newly diagnosed diabetes Adults with diabetes Children with diabetes Teens with diabetes Diabetes and Athletics/Sports Diabetes and Celiac Disease Diabetes and depression Diabetes and pregnancy Diabetic Complications Hyperglycemia / Diabetic Keto-Acidosis Hypoglycemia Islet Cell Transplantation Nutritional issues and diabetes Pump Therapy and diabetes School issues and diabetes |

Your Help is Desperatly Needed to Stop Lead Poisoning in Children!
Hello MY Name is Shelly, I'm writing this message in the hope of getting signatures/names for my crusade against Lead Poisoning in Children. My 4 Children ( Brandon 5, Marissah 4, Thomas 22 mos., and Jacob 6 mos.) were tested positive for lead poisoning! upon testing of my appartment, we found that there were high levels of Lead!.... Each night as i layed my children down to sleep in their beds,i would watch them kneel at the side of their beds to say their prayers,I would kiss them goodnightand tuck them saftly into their beds so i thought. Little did i Know that their rooms were where i left them each night to sleep was loaded with lead! The one place i thought they were safe and sound, Poisoned them! My babies, My Sweet, innocent babies...I called everywhere i could think to solve this matter, i even called my local Health Department. They informed me that unless my childrens lead levels reach the dangerous level of 20 or above they could not help me! i was so upset, i felt that no one cared about the safty of my children but myself! SO I made a vow to my children that i would fight the lagal system to have the lead levels reduced.... Knowing that if i waited till their lead levels reached 20 they would already be suffering for the lead nad could experience learning disabilities, Brain Damage and even Death in some cases! I need to help my children and other Children! and your help can put us one step closer to doing this! below in an email address you can respond to, simply drop me a quick email and tell me to put your name on the list! Please also provide your email, the city and State you live in. by signing this petition we can get these lead levels lowered! PLEASE WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Signed, Shelly In New York |
