    I had a long-distance friend who had mitochondrial disease. We met online, and we talked about once a week for nearly two years, until one day, I stopped hearing from her. Then I googled her name one day, a year later, and found out that she’d died from her mitochondrial disease. She apparently passed peacefully in her sleep. I knew that she was in bad health, and she had mentioned that she couldn’t work or go to school because of her condition, but she never told me what it was.
    RIP Sarah. I hope one day, we can read fanfiction together again, in another life.

    In my role as a special education teacher in the early 90's, I worked with a child with this disease. She was delightful, happy, intelligent, curious and hungary for every bit of knowledge she could access. As she grew, she slowly lost her ability to move independently, as well as the disease affecting sight and hearing but this did not affect her zest for life. She had the most wonderful parents and brother who supported her in any way they could. I retired in the late 90's as she moved onto high school and I moved to another province. This the 1st time I have every heard about this disease outside of the amazing child I worked with. I pray everyday that research can assist children with this disease lead a full and active life. Thank you for sharing this video.

    Try pre-mastication. Any mitochondrial disorder will have missing enzymes, and incomplete digestion. Pre-mastication can replace those missing enzymes with a healthy donor's saliva in the food.
