Re:Africa trial donations for Aids & LDN

[Guest guest]



Hi everyone,

It seems that more donations are needed to help out with the LDN trial for Aids in Mali. If you can even just donate $10. it would be so helpful. At this point Dr. McCandless and her husband have not had near the donations they need to continue the process. They have done well, but just not well enough.

Ojai Foundation AfricaFund (go to www.LDNAfricaAIDS.org for how to donate)

You can mail in a donation, use your credit card or debit your account (I am always a little leary of the debit your account thing myself). I used the credit card meathod and that worked well. You can also write this off on your taxes.

All my best

Hi Aletha,

Are you familiar with the 'credit card system' that is being used for

donations?? I've used PayPal before...but wasn't so sure about this one.

I just read the Mali story and 'wow' -- did I get an education. I

would think that Oprah would be interested in this project and not

just because it's in Africa, but because of the imbalance to women

that is part of their culture.

Hi Jann,

I am glad you brought this up. I think PayPal is like a secure site to prevent people or hackers from steeling your credit card information over the net. I don't see where PayPal was an option on the donation site. Honestly I just went for it with the credit card directly. I am hoping it will be OK. They might have a phone number you could call and you can give them the credit card information over the phone. Typically that is the way I try and handle our transactions when over the internet. That way your credit card info is not floating around over the net.

I agree with you that this story should be on Oprah and that it is amazing. At one point Dr. McCandless had written something to me regarding the experience. It was so touching that I saved it. I will ask her if I might share her original message with the group. It was in regards to the relationship of women and men in that society. I have to tell you I was quite impressed by Dr. McCandless and her husbands approach at working with the relationship dynamics along with the medicine & trial. The relationships between men and women in Mali apparently play a very strong roll in the spread of aids and the inability for women to be able to seek medical care (for prevention and for help if sick).

All my best

Thank you, that is great to know that it worked without any problems. And also it is good of you to have helped this cause. They have put so much into this project and it can be such a big help for LDN in general and LDN with Aids.

Dr. McCandless said earlier that the heart meds are difficult, expensive and labor intensive to use on children. They must be monitored while using them. LDN is a much easier, less expensive and easy to administer alternative. Plus think of all of the other benefits that LDN can have on their immune systems while using it.

All my best
