Most underfunded illness per burden in the US (and most of rest of world). src
That is an absolute cluster fuck of a problem.
How can an every day person help?
That’s kind of you.
There’s not much unfortunately. If you have a couple bucks free you could donate to one of the better labs. Ie. this excellent genetics team. But I realise that isn’t feasible for most people.
Otherwise just maybe reading a short article about how politically marginalised the illness is could be helpful. In having more people “woke” on this issue. This article by Monbiot is short and works quite well.
