The Dercum Society is not incorporated, nor is it a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We do not solicit or accept donations of any kind. The Dercum Society is not a business; we are merely a small informal group of people comprised of Dercum’s Disease sufferers and medical professionals who are dedicated to promoting awareness and education of this disease via the Internet. We do our best to provide information on a basis of good faith.
As Dercum’s Disease is still relatively unknown and has yet to be thoroughly studied, we suspect that as the medical community continues to learn more about this disease, some of the information provided on this website may become out of date. We will do our best to keep up with new information as it becomes available, but as we do not conduct studies of our own, we cannot be relied upon as a professional medical journal. We do not make ourselves out to be anything of that nature and cannot be held accountable for any misunderstanding on the part of the User.
