The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation

Imagine your body with one-half of its energy producing facilities shut down. The brain would be impaired, vision would be dim, muscles would twitch spastically or would be too weak to allow your body to walk or write, your heart would be weakened, and you would not be able to eat and digest your food. This is due to defects in the mitochondria, organelles found in every cell of the body which are responsible for the body's energy production. Mitochondrial diseases compromise their lives and can be fatal. Mitochondrial defects have also been linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, autism, and the aging process.
