Every 30 minutes a child is born who will develop mitochondrial disease by age 10.
Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of our body's energy.
The disease primarily affects children, but adult onset is becoming more common.
How's this for an invisible illness? My heart goes out to this family....

Disclaimer: If you have a health resource you can't resist sharing, I would love to hear about it if you feel it will be truly helpful. I am already doing my best to fight this illness from a nutritional, structural, as well as medical stand-point. Please avoid comments with "miracle cure" stories about your Aunt Milly's granddaughter who drank coltsfoot tea for a week and has been fine ever since. I'm very thankful it worked for her in her case, but there are so many environmental, emotional, and other factors that make CFS/ME complicated and different from just an average illness. That being said, please leave thoughtful and uplifting comments below.
