On this Thanksgiving Day, I would ask everyone to remember and pray for the man who started all of this, Mel Friedman. I have known Mel since before his journey with Morgellons began. I have seen him suffer and triumph over this disease with my mantra to him being "do no harm".
When he came to me about starting this website, I was against it. I feared he would be swallowed up by the needs of others. Mel, with his tenacious personality, ignored my warnings and I am glad he did, as it has helped many re-gain their lives back. However, my fears are being realized. Mel came to my office this week and I can see the changes in his health and his outlook. I am not the only physician who has told Mel that he needs to protect himself "from" himself. Mel knows no boundaries when it comes to helping others. He gives too much and takes nothing in return. Of the money donated to this cause, Mel has taken none. He doesn't believe in personal gain, only in fighting this terrible disease. I do believe it is starting to take a toll on Mel. He needs a rest and our help now. So on this Thanksgiving Day please pray for Mel, respect his boundary and offer your help to the man who has helped so many.
