April 2009 Newsletter
We would like to welcome the newest
member of the MRF Board of Directors, Louise Mandrell. We are
excited about her interest in the goals of the Morgellons Research
Foundation and her understanding of the suffering of those affected
by this life changing disease.
Thanks to a hard working volunteer, the
look of the MRF website is in the process of being updated. Please
check back next week for the new look.
We would like to ask you to please take
the time to contact President Obama about Morgellons disease, so
that we can be assured that the progress of Morgellons disease
research by the federal government will move forward as rapidly as
possible, with oversight from the president. It is through past
political efforts like these that Morgellons disease has received
attention from the federal government. Information about contacting
president Obama can be seen below.
Thank you for your continued help
in getting Morgellons disease recognized and investigated.
Thank you also for your continued strength.
We wish you a joyous holiday and a
wonderful spring.
Best wishes,
William T. Harvey, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., Chairman

Dear President Obama:
I would like to ask for your immediate
attention to the investigation by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) of Morgellons disease, a poorly understood
disease which has caused profound suffering for thousands of U.S.
families.
The Morgellons Research Foundation
(MRF) which represents 13,500 ill families, has asked for government
help in researching this disease, which is likely infectious, since
2003. Please note that the MRF has learned that you sent at least 2
letters to the CDC asking CDC to expedite the Morgellons disease
investigation on behalf of your constituents, when you were a U.S.
Senator for Illinois
The history of CDC efforts, including
list of 40 members of congress who contacted CDC re Morgellons, can
be seen here:

I would like to ask you to please do
the following:
1. Please allocate additional funds for
the rapid investigation of Morgellons disease.
2. Please immediately contact CDC to
ask details of the current status of the CDC Morgellons
investigation, also known by CDC as "Unexplained Dermopathy", and
update me as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
