Dr. Li took a recent trip to
Japan and spoke at the 33rd annual meeting of the Japan Society of Pyschosomatic Pediatrics. They specialize in migraine, CVS, IBS, developmental difficulties and school phobia.

Shun Emoto was notified he will be given a national
award for his work in support groups, and Dr. Li gave the Certificate of Appreciation (for his pioneering work on CVS and the neuroendocrine aspects - elevated ACTH, cortisol, catecholamines, AVP) along with letters from Kathleen Adams and himself to his colleagues at Kanazawa University on the west coast of Japan.

Go Fund Me Project to Raise $
for the Adult Guidelines for Diagnosing and Treating CVS -
It is so exciting that the CVSA and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) will partner to develop Adult Guidelines!
With Children's Guidelines already in place thanks to CVSA fundraising, and our strong team of medical advisors, we are embarking on a partnership project that will help adult sufferers around the world. When completed, these guidelines will help doctors and ER personnel know how to better care for CVS patients.
Creating medical guidelines is expensive. CVSA is the financial sponsor for these guidelines, but we are asking for your help to join us in funding this project. All donations are greatly appreciated! We will keep you posted with more information on the progress of this project as we move forward.
Please visit our page at:
http://www.gofundme.com/CVSAdultGuidelines
Website Donations: $3,183.00
Donations sent to the CVSA: $12,004.00
Total Amount Raised to Date:
$ 15,187.00
We are so grateful to have raised over
$15,000.00 since our announcement.
Thank you from the Board of Directors
at the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association!
