Sotelo Family Tree

Sotelo Family Tree Our single mission... funding a cure... A CURE... not a treatment, or acceptance... but a CURE for Huntington's Disease. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!

We will fund raise, sell donated goods and time, and collect any and all donations that we can to reach our $5million mark. We are currently working with Dr. Jan Nolta at UC Davis Medical Center to continue to fund her ongoing research for the cure for HD. This cure will in turn provide the building blocks for curing such diseases as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and ALS. It's just the beginning, AND it

's so close. We have been to these research facilities and seen first hand that these doctors are confident in their knowledge that they CAN cure HD. What they need is FDA approval for clinical trials, and funding. They're estimate was that we could have a CURE in FIVE YEARS!!! FIVE YEARS!!! $5million sounds like a lot, but I think we can do it....

Canada, Feb. 18 -- In a breakthrough study, researchers have identified a potential novel therapy for Huntington disease.

Experts revealed that Huntington disease is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive decline and psychiatric problems. HD is the most common genetic cause of abnormal involuntary writhing movements called chorea. Physical symptoms of Huntington's disease can begin at any age from infancy to old age, but usually begin between 35 and 44 years of age.

Researchers from the University of Alberta revealed that people suffering from the disorder have faintly reduced amounts of a brain molecule called GM1. One of the researchers said that when GM1 levels were returned to normal among lab simulations suffering from the disorder, motor abilities were back to normal within some days.

The GM1 molecule treatment was provided to the lab models for about a month. Within the initial 14 days following completion of the therapy, the subjects had usual motor working, but after that, a decline in the working was observed. The researcher suggested that a promising therapy with the molecule would entail frequent treatments in the long run.

The findings were featured in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.

I feel like I've lost my way in regards to promoting Sotelo Family Tree, and I apologize. I didn't realize it until my daughter said to me today, "mommy, what's Huntington's Disease?" I thought, dang it, she's forgotten!!! I've failed... then she started to slowly recollect Uncle Joe, who he was, what he looked like... and why we're fighting. Please remember to 'share' this page with your friends... we only have 64 'likes' and i'd like that to be 1064... =)
