Dear friends in the fight against Huntington's disease,

Scientists have made huge strides towards treating and perhaps even controlling HD, whose killer gene inhabits every cell of my body. It now seems to be a question of "when," and not "if," treatments will come.

That's excellent progress! But this is no time for complacency. If we don't all chip in to help with upcoming clinical trials, researchers and physicians will have no way of testing the potential remedies to determine if they are safe and can indeed reduce the symptoms of HD. This is the topic of "No time for complacency: get ready for HD clinical trials," the latest entry in my blog "At Risk for Huntington's Disease," which you can view at [|www.curehd.blogspot.com]. You can also read my entries at [|www.hdsasandiego.org/blog], the website of the the San Diego chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America.

Thank you for reading. And I extend a special welcome to new readers. As always, your feedback is welcome. You can post comments on the blog at either site or write me at curehdnow@earthlink.net.

Yours in the struggle to cure diseases,

Gene Veritas
