Did you know that:

  • In 2008 BRF co-authored or organized three major studies and two articles for less than $2000.  That's less than $500 per publication!  Read our studies. 

  • Scientists have donated thousands of hours to BRF.  Because we rely on donated time, your contributions go further in sponsoring research. 

  • BRF's operating budget for 2008 was less than the price of a colonoscopy, and much less than the cost of gall bladder removal.

Top four reasons NOT to donate to BRF

1. That metronidazole your physician gave you really worked well, and the symptoms didn't come back after a week.

2. You like spending money on expensive herbal supplements.

3. You like taking off in the middle of the day to sit in doctors offices and wait for specialists.

4. Abdominal surgery is kind of fun.  Who needs a gall bladder anyway!
