The Mitochondrial Research Guild Charity Profile
Currently, there is no cure for mitochondrial disease and even finding medical treatments is a challenge. Today, there are no FDA-approved drugs targeted specifically for mitochondrial disease. Doctors are left with prescribing vitamin cocktails to boost cell function (which may or may not have an impact), along with making suggestions about diet, avoiding stress and extremes in heat or cold and providing medicines that can only treat the symptoms but not the underlying cause. Research is beginning to produce some marginally encouraging results and while a cure is still many years away, doctors such as Dr. Saneto are focused on educating others so that the disease will be identified more quickly as well as finding ways to provide better patient care in addition to identifying new research techniques that will one day assist the medical community in coming up with a cure.
