Information on MLD Foundation Web Site
MLD Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to those affected by MLD. We are not medical professionals and do not profess to have absolute knowledge about MLD, however, we represent the collective experiences of many hundreds of families, a decade of experience direct hands-on experience with the disease, and many dozens of relationships and meetings with researchers and doctors knowledgable about MLD. The progression of MLD is known to be very different from person to person so information provided by MLD Foundation should be used only as the basis for specific discussions with your family's medical professional. The information here was gathered carefully but you must always double check and confirm with your medical professional.

Information from MLD Foundation's MLD Family Discussion List
The MLD Family™ is an ad hoc group of individuals sharing their personal experiences and information they have gathered. The MLD Family members, while experienced and passionate, are not medical professionals. All of our experiences vary - but collectively there is wisdom, experience, perspective, support,and comfort to be found here. Please remember that we are not medical experts, and even the trained experts that occasionally do post to the list are acting only as helpful individuals -- diagnosis and treatment is a very personal thing that cannot be done properly via e-mail - be sure to confirm and consult with your local medical professional before taking action on any items discussed on the MLD Family discussion list.

The Internet, Search Engines, etc.
The Internet can be both your friend and your foe. Do not take anything at face value that you read on the net. You can find any "truth" that you wish on any topic on the Internet. Missing, dated, correct, and wrong information all look the same. Please check with other MLD Family™ members and your personal medical professional before taking action based on any information you find on the Internet.
