Review for Open Medicine Foundation, Agoura Hills, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My experience of this non profit is quite simply one of hope. Their end me/cfs project, their collaborative approach toward research, the quality of research they fund and scientists involved, their support of having the pace trial questioned, their advocacy, its incredible and with all the focus on the science there is still clearly a genuine respect and appreciation for the real people who are living with the illness. But more than that as a person with m.e/cfs they give me hope, with a condition where you can feel neglected and let down, it is the difference between feeling utter despair and giving us something to hang in for. The omf and the work their involved with has single handedly restored my faith in the scientific community, in research, as a patient with cfs/me the omf has my utter trust, trust that they will fund quality research, trust that the research will be conducted properly by excellent researchers, trust that patients involved in research will be treated ethically, trust they're only agenda is one that will be in a patients and science best interests. I cannot speak highly enough of the OMF or truly express what their work means to those of us living with the condition, and I frequently see many people specifically cite OMF and their work as literally giving them a reason to keep going, there is no higher complement a person can pay. They are simply and without overstating it in any way, heroes.
