The Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to raising awareness and research funding for a newly emerging infectious disease, which we refer to as "Morgellons disease." The disease can be disfiguring and disabling, and it affects people of all age groups, including children. Multiple family members are often affected at the same time, and the disease appears to be spreading at an alarming rate. The number of families currently registered with the MRF is believed to represent a fraction of the true number of affected families. Because the disease is not yet recognized by the medical community, as in the case of many newly emerging diseases, patients' symptoms are often dismissed as psychological by health care practitioners

I believe it is important to approach this issue with an open mind and to carefully examine the available evidence. While there is still much that is unknown about Morgellons disease, there are several factors that suggest it is a real and serious medical condition. First, there are a large number of individuals who have reported symptoms consistent with Morgellons disease, and these individuals come from diverse backgrounds and geographic locations. This suggests that the condition is not isolated to a specific group or region, but rather it is a widespread issue.

Additionally, there have been several studies that have identified physical abnormalities in individuals with Morgellons disease, such as skin lesions, fibers embedded in the skin, and neurological symptoms. These findings cannot be dismissed as purely psychological, as they have been documented by healthcare professionals.

Furthermore, the MRF is a reputable organization that is dedicated to raising awareness and research funding for this disease. Their website provides a wealth of information and resources for individuals affected by Morgellons and their families, and they have a network of medical professionals and researchers who are actively studying the condition.

In conclusion, while there is still much to be learned about Morgellons disease, the available evidence suggests that it is a real and serious medical condition that warrants further research and understanding. As scientists, it is important for us to remain open-minded and continue to investigate this disease in order to better understand its causes and potential treatments.
