"...In my experience of attending professional conferences, this symposium surpassed all in the quality of scientific, clinical, lay persons, parents, caregivers, and patients, interactive participation...The attendance and support of the highest quality of international professionals was very impressive...This kind of support and enthusiasm in the scientific, medical, and lay community will foster new treatments and plow the path toward a cure."
-- Richard M. Merson, Ph.D., 1999 Symposium in Victoria, BC
