It's important to point out that countries in the
continents of Africa and South AMERICA
the Philippines and others
are among the primary destinations to where donations for shipments will be made.
for promoting this very good cause!
To be clear, donation will cover international shipping costs to countries to which international shipping from California is very expensive, and thus prohibitive, and particularly since it must be paid in US Dollars. The receiver of the research kits will be asked to pay as much as they can afford, and the funds created by donations would cover the rest.
Since MEBO Research is a wholly volunteer Charity registered in the United States and in England and Wales, donors can rest assured that 100% of their donations will go directly to the cause of supporting international sufferers cover shipping cost of their kits. Donations will not only help fellow sufferers participate in testing, who otherwise would never get the opportunity to test, but at the same time, they will help contribute to the cause of pursuing the most diverse data possible to give greater value to the research study we are undertaking. They will make a difference for the recipient and the community as a whole. Donations will help to enrich the Gut Microbiota grant funded research with interesting data from a diverse pool of participants. It will go 100% towards that, since all labor involved in the study is volunteer.
Donations are helpful in allowing the Principal Investigator, Irene Gabashvili, PhD., MEBO's Scientific Director, to select participants based on their qualifications as opposed to their geographic location. In the end, this better participant selection opportunity will provide valuable information that hopefully will bear greater understanding of the various causes of odor/PATM conditions, which is the first step towards determining targeted precision treatment.
The primary aim of this research is to provide MEBO'S Scientific Director, Irene Gabashvili, PhD., with very valuable information, and and with assistance from uBiome scientists, to analyze what role gut microbiota has in idiopathic odor and PATM conditions. With greater understanding of the role of gut microbiota, it is hoped that targeted, precision protocols could be developed for the different conditions. Irene and uBiome will then publish their findings in professional journals so that all professionals in the scientific and medical fields will have access to the research findings. The ultimate aim is so that when a sufferer visits his or her physician with odor/PATM symptoms, proper diagnostic tests are performed resulting in precise medicine treatment. As I noted in my Introductory Letter in this Blog on April 10, 2008,
It is my sincere wish that the outcome of this effort will result in a future commonplace practice of a sufferer going to his or her family doctor anywhere in the world presenting with body odor as his or her primary complaint, that the physician would immediately know what metabolic and/or microbial diagnostic exams are indicated in order to arrive at a speedy diagnosis and treatment plan to control and eliminate body odor. https://www.meboblog.com/2008/05/intro-letter_03.html
