The Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships (GPP) creates, validates and secures 50% of the funding for breakthrough research that can accelerate the cures for catastrophic diseases.  The following projects, secured from and co-funded by the finest research institutions in the world, give real hope to patients and their loved ones that cures will be found in time to help those who need help now.
  

Disease Description of Research Click below for more
Recurrent Viral Diseases This Harvard Osher Institute project will determine if acupuncture can be used to reduce or eliminate recurrent Herpes Virus infections that are resistant to drug and other therapies.  Using Acupuncture to Treat Herpes
Breast Cancer This landmark study by Harvard Osher Institute will determine whether two common antioxidants taken by many of us hinder or help breast cancer radiation therapy. Anti-oxidants and  Radiation Therapy
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Harvard Medical School project to prove that patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can use yoga techniques to achieve self-control of their disease. Yoga as a Cure for Panic Attacks
Multiple Myeloma Researchers at the Mayo Clinic are developing a non-viral method of programming genes of cancer cells so that they self-destruct and destroy the cancer cells around them, without side effects of any significance.  Gene Therapy to Cure Multiple Myeloma
Breast Cancer Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering are proving that botanical medicines can triple the effectiveness of current chemotherapies without increasing the side effects. Enhancing Anti-Cancer Therapies With Botanicals
Breast Cancer Mississippi State University researchers continue to investigate whether  low intensity electromagnetic energy can destroy breast cancer cells without harming neighboring normal cells. Safe Energy Beam to  Destroy Breast Cancer
Multiple Myeloma Researchers at University of Massachusetts testing a safe anti-cancer treatment derived from mushrooms after determining what part of a natural supplement kept a cancer patient alive when she refused conventional treatment. Botanical Treatment to Destroy Cancer Cells
Cancer This Northwestern University project will construct and test a simple drug delivery system that mimics a virus, but without the infectiousness of the virus itself.  This “bio-mimetic” (life mimicking) delivery system would allow quick modification to deliver a wide range of molecules to any cell type damaged by almost any  disease. Bio-Mimetic Drug Delivery System
Virus, Liver Disease Stanford University provides the first human clinical trial of new cure for viral diseases such as Hepatitis Delta Virus.  Viruses mutate to overcome current anti-viral treatments. This new treatment deprives the virus of a host function, and the virus cannot mutate to defeat the cure. If successful, this treatment would breakthrough the lack of treatment for viral diseases.. Human Study to Destroy Deadly Virus 
Breast Cancer University of Arizona (UAZ) research to allow physicians to quickly and safely determine if a patient is responding to treatment using advanced imaging to detect early changes in breast tumors immediately after the start of chemotherapy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging Determines Effectiveness of Treatment
Kidney Cancer UAZ research to revolutionize surgery by using a biologically compatible gel "glue" that seals blood vessels and provides healing factors for patients undergoing kidney cancer surgery.  Quicker Healing for Kidney Cancer Patients
Liver Cancer This UAZ project will reduce surgical biopsies by using advanced imaging techniques to differentiate between benign cysts and liver tumors. Non-surgical Detection of Liver Cancer
Ovarian and Renal Cancer This incredible UAZ project takes a patient's own immune cells out of the body, teaches them to attack cancer cells, and then re-injects them to safely kill all cancer cells.  New Wave of Anti-Cancer Vaccines
Parkinson's, Macular Degeneration, Transplants This research by UAZ is teaching us how to remove a patient's cells, transform them into tiny drug manufacturing centers, and return them to the body as an inexpensive and inexhaustible biocompatible drug delivery system. Creating "In-Body" Drug Manufacturing Cells
Diabetes Breakthrough research at University of Virginia to prove that stem cells of the pancreatic duct in insulin dependent diabetics can be modified to produce insulin, so patients will no longer have to monitor their blood sugar and inject insulin. Reversing Diabetes by Creating New Insulin- Producing Cells
