Miracle Cure - #HAWMC Day 20



Miracle Cure. Write a news-style article on a miracle cure. What’s the cure? How do
you get the cure? Be sure to include a disclaimer  ;)

This is a fantasy article for a health challenge.  None of this is true! Unfortunately...

Cure Found for Dry Mouth and Dry Eyes
After years of research, scientists have found a cure for Sjogren's Syndrome.  Sjogren's Syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person’s white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands. The most common complaint is dry mouth and dry eyes.  The syndrome came into the news this past year when Venus Williams was diagnosed with Sjogren's. The cure for Sjogren's Syndrome requires patients to visit their doctor's office for three injections one time a week for three consecutive weeks.  After the three injections, the symptoms of the disease begin to recede. Researchers hope that the cure for Sjogren's will lead to a cure for other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn's disease.
Until tomorrow...
