Thanks for stopping by!

Our goal is to increase awareness of Urea Cycle Disorders in order to improve diagnosis. There has already been an improvement in diagnosis over the past 2 years! How can you help? SPREAD THE WORD! UCD's aren't as rare as they were once thought to be, and if not treated they will cause coma and death. For more information, browse the links on this site.

Cover of God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

A nonfiction novel by Angela and George Kidd *

© Copyright 1998

For two and a half years, he was plagued by a mysterious illness. At first he was thought to have epilepsy. His hospitalizations increased and his level of awareness decreased. As his demise and imminent death grew near, it became apparent to his father and mother that something had been overlooked. Could it be discovered before an innocent child lost his life?

*The sale of this book is not solely intended to make a profit (though honestly, making a profit would be grand), but also to raise awareness about the disorder. We have actually given away as many books as we have sold. If your financial circumstances prevent you from purchasing a copy, send $1.50 for postage and we will send you a free 219 page hardcover copy of our book (This applies to those in the continental US, I would have to check on postage outside the USA). Just click on the "ORDER" button below to get the address.

Reviews:

"It will be an inspiration to all those who read it." Crook and Chase Show, Nashville, TN

"...it was one of the most moving books, without being maudlin, that I have read. It was so interesting and I became so anxious to see how it would turn out that I finished it the same day that I started it." Frances, Paintsville, KY
