I've seen people post that they would like Morgellons covered on the Oprah show. I emailed Ken Cowles of the MRF about this idea and this was his response:
I appreciate your note. Doing Oprah? If folks contact the show, do they realize what is needed to be done, and prepared for before the program? We need to have our research, facilities, referrals, support and all the mechanicals together and up and running in order to do a show of this magnitude. We are not ready, yet. And if people want, I will accept their requests for submission to the show and present to the program on their behalf...in a professional manner.
I know Oprah and Gayle through my television work and my involvement with the Emmy Awards for daytime, primetime
and this year, the Tony Awards (The Color Purple).
They can send their thoughts and requests to: kencowles@morgellons.org and I will package with our materials and present to Gail in person in Chicago. But we need to be ready for this HUGE step or it won't "work" for us.
We are going to do media again, believe me...but we need to do our next phase. First phase was to get the word out on what Morgellons is....now we need to do phase 2 which is what is being researched and by whom and update. This is what the media is looking for now...they now believe Morgellons exists, but we need to take the next step to what is being done about it. Imagine, in just three years we took a situation, Morgellons, and through the media made the people aware, and in record time have the CDC looking into it, and with hard work, persistance and leadership, we are where we are today. It was unfortunate in what happened this summer, but it actually has worked to our benefit in many ways..
Thank you.
