The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome blood volume treatment study that is ongoing at the
University of Miami requires bimonthly visits to receive medications, blood test
and physicals exams. Unfortunately, the National Institutes of Health are not
funding our study to support travel from other states or to do a multi-site
study across the country. This year we had an enormous response to the media
coverage about our study and many people that inquired were unable to
participate because of these travel requirements, but the Angel Flight
Organization may be able to help.
Angel Flight Southeast, Inc. is a non-profit volunteer pilot organization
involved in "public benefit flying." They provide a variety of services to the
community, but mostly, they arrange free air transportation by private aircraft
to distant medical facilities when commercial service is not available,
impractical or simply not affordable. Please contact them at the telephone
number listed below or via email. Let them know you are interested in
participating in the CFS Study at the University of Miami, and need travel
assistance.
