&#8220;In theory, this research has demonstrated it is possible to use this therapy in mothers carrying mitochondrial DNA diseases so that we can prevent those diseases from being passed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time, researchers have now determined that chronic kidney disease/hemodyalisis patients have impaired mitochondrial function.  In fact, their conclusion drawn thus far indicates that the mitochondrial dysfunction may be the cause of their disease!  You can read about the research here. 
This is yet another reason why we need to increase [...]]]></description>
