    1. , how can you help to educate people to understand critical information? Do you have something(s) you generally share? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  2. Currently there’s no medication to prevent amyloids from going into the heart. Only after amyloids are in your heart that you are put on medication. I don’t understand why the same medication cannot be taken prophylacticly.
