Ronald A. Sherman, MD; Board Chair
Irvine, CA
"I started treating patients with maggot therapy in 1990. Seeing
the miraculous results in wounds that failed months or years of
conventional medical and surgical care, I dedicated the next 13
years to making the treatments available to physicians and
patients who wanted to try it, regardless of ability to pay. The
BTER Foundation is similarly committed to improving the access to
-- and the quality of -- maggot therapy, leech therapy, and the
many other biotherapeutic modalities. "

Pamela Mitchell; Board Member, Patient Advocate
Akron, OH
"I know that maggot therapy works because maggots not only saved
my feet from amputation, they saved my life. I remember how hard
it was for me to find information and treatment with maggots. I
am excited about being on the Board of Directors of the BTER
Foundation --- helping others to learn about, and have access to
ALL their options."

Sharon Mendez, RN, CWS;
Board Member
Washington State
"I am an RN and Certified Wound Specialist in the
Enterostomal Therapy Department in an Acute Care Hospital in the
Pacific Northwest. I treat both an inpatient and outpatient
population. Sometimes the right treatment is Maggot Debridement
Therapy, the right wound, in the right location and the right
patient. The world's tiniest surgeons can save lives and limbs."
