Hello BAnna,
As SallyC has so wonderfully said, welcome to our porch...and to the interior of our collective home of support and information as well.
I share your appreciation for the
"scientific approach of disease management with evidenced-based outcomes (not profit based) and examining conflicts of interests", as I feel that these things will bring us all closer to prevention, effective and reliable treatments and sooner rather than later to a cure.
Right there beside you, enjoying swingin' on the porch for now though.
With love, Erika
