Number one reason why I fold is hope, and belief, that one day man will have a cure for all if not most all sickness. I believe we NEED to get there as a society, as well as many other areas we need to work on, but for now I will stay on topic. I'm not talking about a treatment, unless that treatment can guarantee it leads to a cure, then I will accept that. I will not accept medicine, in any form(pill, liquid, shot, etc.) as a cure unless it has no negative side-effects And it must bring about a cure or completely suppress all factors that cause the disease it is fighting. I have hereditary coproporphyria(HCP,) a form of porphyria. I feel that in the time of the average human existence there are a small number of projects, of the utmost importance, that take place. Normally, the average person can't participate in these projects anyway, you may not be in the right field of expertise, living in a different part of the world, the reasons are endless. But when it comes to folding we can all participate. I remember the exact moment that I realized what F@H was all about, I thought, "I wish I'd heard of this sooner," and "This is just what the doctor ordered." I don't even feel right anymore unless I know my rigs are folding. Because of us folding today, future generations may not have to suffer the way I have, and the way I have seen countless others suffer. I get my treatments at the same clinic where chemo-therapy is giving, and man......I'm getting emotional so I'm going to end here noting that I think you all understand what I mean, Something has to be done.
