This site is designed for educational
purposes only and is not engaged in rendering medical
advice or professional services. The information
provided through this site should not be used for
diagnosing or treating a brain tumor, health problem
or a disease. It is not a substitute for professional
care. If you have or suspect you may have brain
tumor, you should consult your health care provider.
If you find something here (or anywhere on the
web for that matter) that you think may help you,
bring it to the attention of your doctors and ask
them about it. If they don't know enough about
the treatment to offer advice - have them call
the contact person to find out more.
Dr. Musella, the president of the Musella Foundation,
is a Doctor Of Podiatric Medicine, not a brain
tumor specialist. He may provide ideas for you
to pursue, but can not provide medical advice.
We do not recommend any individual trial or brain
tumor treatments- we are just letting you know
of their existence. The listings are in random
order.
The articles on this site are all just the opinions
of their authors. We (the Musella Foundation) do
not necessarily agree with the concepts expressed.
All articles are reviewed by our medical advisory
board before publishing on this website to help
weed out inaccurate or misleading information -
but we can't guarantee the accuracy of all of the
information on this site. |

requests personal information from you.
We make every possible attempt to keep this information
secure.
If you make a donations on this website, your credit
card information is deleted immediately after the
charge is processed.
The Virtual Trial registration page is secured
using the latest in secure server technology from THAWTE
The information entered into the virtual trial
is encoded in such a way that only our president,
Dr. Musella, has access to it. The medical advisory
board and our statisticians do NOT have access
to your information. They only can view a copy
of it with the identifying information removed.
The information from the Virtual Trial Project
will NEVER be used to solicit you for donations,
or be sold to other organizations.
We also collect e-mail addresses from people subscribing
to our Newsletter and
giving us feedback. Again, we will never sell these
email addresses, but there may be a gentle solicitation
for donations in the newsletter:)
"Sponsors" have paid to help support this project - in return they
get a prominent banner that makes their treatments or facilities stand out. This
does NOT imply that we - The Musella Foundation or The Virtual Trials Team -
endorse the facility or treatment. We DO encourage you to click on those banners
to investigate our sponsors' messages. Their support allows us to offer this
brain tumor information at no charge to you.
