We also intend to further provide through donations and the sales of celebrity goods and ware support to the families fighting through legal recourse for their right to treatment. Which is more than often denied by their health insurance provider. Why is Saving Graces needed? Saving Graces came out of personal tribulations and experiences that our family went through when our daughter Grace K. Dacol became afflicted with Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis. It was our experience that the medical field was unprepared to diagnose or even aware of the existence of NMDA-R. This lead to a prolonged diagnosis and misinterpretation of symptoms which in the case of any Encephalitis time is the enemy. In general medicine looks for viral pathogens in their diagnostic examinations, which NMDA-R is not. Thus resulting in negative results for exams and imaging. Our daughter Grace K. Dacol was the first diagnosed case of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis in Brazil and as such, has become case study nation wide. We propose to continue the education. Both the Public and Medical professionals through decimation of medical documents, studies and discoveries as they become available. Also a continued presence at appropriate medical symposiums and events to further the medical communities awareness of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis.
