Dear Friend,
Welcome back to our most recent newsletter. We have some important
updates for you, and an overview of the best parts of November.
What’s
Happened Since Last Time
- If you didn’t have the chance to read our blog post on the
BIO-Europe conference you can take a look here
in our news section.
- As part of our follow up on the conference we are working on
scheduling meetings and phone calls with the people we connected with,
especially the trade agencies and organizations that could support our
research in another country. This includes Canada, Britain, and
Australia.
- The Colombian legal firm we are working with has also has
communicated to us that our request has been transferred to the
National Ministry of Health for further review of our query. We hope
to hear back from them soon and will update you when we have more
news.
- As part of the exploration of a more comprehensive histological
study we are continuing communications with one of our volunteers who
is helping with finding the necessary equipment, facilities, as well
as cost estimates.
- Over the past month Foregen also had 151 new supporters sign up on
our site with interest in our research.
- For the month of November reached a total of $8,031 in donations,
which helps us move forward with the next parts of our mission! Be
sure to inform other activists, friends and family about Foregen and
the science we’re pursuing to one day help provide genital integrity
to men around the world. Our overall total to date is $528,436 Let’s
keep it up.
Tell Me
Something Interesting
-
This
article deals with 3 new approaches to help those who suffer
from different eye conditions, including one that treats macular
degeneration, where ‘diseased cells at the back of the patients’
affected eye are replenished with a stem cell-based patch, which is
inserted under the retina with a special surgical tool in an operation
lasting one to two hours.’ The study’s results were impressive: ‘two
patients monitored on a 12-month trial went from not being able to
read even with glasses, to reading 60-80 words a minute with normal
reading glasses.’ The study was conducted by London Project to Cure
Blindness, London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,
University College London Institute of Ophthalmology and National
Institute for Health Research.
