From Google Translate:

The Lost Voices Foundation was launched to oppose the often unbearable suffering of many critically ill patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ME / CFS something. Affected illness are often themselves no longer able to raise her voice to fight for an attached medical care. The Foundation is committed to the improvement and expansion of care, treatment and rehabilitation of these people.

This purpose is achieved through the appropriate information to the general public, requesting the investigation of these neuroimmunological disease and the promotion of projects that are appropriate to transfer the international knowledge quickly to Germany. In addition, a counseling center has been established and fundraising activities carried out to support, for example, the research at the Berlin Charité ME / CFS financially.​

I think Berlin Charite is where Prof Carmen Scheibenbogen (sp?) works - she has an interest in Rituximab. The focus seems to be appropriately on ME as a neuroimmune disease that needs medical care - we're used to seeing 'rehabilitation' used in a rather sinister way but I don't get that impression from this.

Voted!
