Research on HG's short- and long-term effects is desperately needed and needed now. We need to do more to find a cure for this disease that has such devastating effects on a growing number of soon-to-be mothers.
Congressman Xavier Becerra (CA)
HG forces women to make difficult decisions... the H.E.R. web site is the most comprehensive location to educate oneself to make the best decisions.
Marlena S. Fejzo, PhD USA
HG is a devastating illness and yet so little research has been undertaken into causes and therapies.
Dr. Matthes Seeling, MD
HG is a tremendously debilitating disease that can have life-long consequences. This Web site will provide much needed support to mothers suffering from this disease.
TM Goodwin, MD USA
HG has a devastating personal and family impact and effective management is most important.
