DMRF Board of Directors


The board of directors of any organization is its backbone. A board is responsible for providing the leadership and guidance needed for an organization to achieve its mission. For the DMRF, our board of directors also serves as an inspiration for so many who are affected by dystonia. We are fortunate to have volunteer leaders on our board who have passion, intelligence and an unwavering dedication to our goal of ridding the world of dystonia. This is particularly important as it relates to the type of science programs the DMRF will support – the risks we are willing to take to advance our understanding of the causes of dystonia and what can be done to expand the menu of dystonia treatment options.


The DMRF Board of Directors held its mid-year meeting this month. This meeting is traditionally a time for the Foundation to review the progress we have made in the first six months of the year and to begin to plan for the coming year. This year was no different. During the meeting, the board reviewed the Foundation’s plans for an updated homepage so that visitors to the website could more easily find the information they need. The new page went live shortly after the meeting and the response by many has been very positive! There was good discussion regarding the newly revised educational brochures and what educational materials are still needed – and planning for what we can do to fill those needs. Discussions and plans also focused on advocacy and our network of support groups.


We also reviewed the progress of our scientific investigators – both grant holders and those researchers with whom we have contracted to do dystonia work. We are planning a host a grant holders workshop next year. This is important as it provides an opportunity for the dystonia research community to have a robust discussion about current research and what direction it should take going forward. In the next few months you will hear more about the 2011 research grant program, our role in the 5th International Dystonia Symposium, the John H. Menkes Children & Family Symposium, and much, much more.

On behalf of a grateful DMRF community, I want to thank the members of the our Board of Directors for their tireless work.

  1. ALL THANKS TO DR WILLIAMS FOR THE GREAT DEED HE HAVE DONE FOR MY DAUGHTER?
    My daughter suffered from dystonia for more than 7 years which we started experiencing in her when she turned 4 year and 5 months we all thought it will end but got even worse as days went by. We tried all several treatments and therapy prescribed by various doctors we met but to no avail, she lost total concentration and always complain of neck discomfort . She usually tells me she haves jerky head movements . This were steady disorder that disrupted her entire life, even at night she slept less because of this.It was during a casual conversation with a friend that i learned about Dr Williams herbal medicine I was able to contact him on his email address. and give him all the necessary information that he needed,few day later he sent me the herbal portion and his medicine was able to restore her back to normal and she is very okay now without any side effects whatsoever. If you have dystonia , do not hesitate to contact him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product. I hope this also helps someone out there.

  2. As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from dystonia , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My son suffered dystonia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from dystonia and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of the doctor who had the herbal cure to dystonia . I never imagined dystonia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. dystonia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
