About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.

The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Hi Susan,

You can now get infrared saunas. A sworn by treatment method touted by ANTHILL, one of the Lymebusters/Morgellons board administrators and a fellow sufferer.

Best regards,

Bryan.

To my experience of using Light Relief, an far infared machine for relieving pains in joints and muscles, I concluded that it does kill superbugs.

However, because the parasites are spreading all over the body systems and the skin, it requires the body cleanse treatment, as described in Paul's protocol to cleanse those parasites and boost immunity to fight against those unwanted invaders.

I have this things with me for two years now.
No Docktor or even family believes me. I was told by a Lady from Afrika that I should spit out the sticky substance when I have it and since this time I did start to do it, it is not in my body. First I had insects in my saliva, but now I am clear of it. The things are still there, but can not do any damage in my body...
Try this for a while, it cost you nothing...
Good Luck Charlotte
This staff what people say we find in the house, this is not an imagination....
But who is free of them things can not understand it and I do not blame them.....

I started feeling bits all over me about 4 months ago I have them in my ears and its bad and hurts help! been to Dr but they look at my scars and do nothing. I'm bumps all over

TO ALL SUFFERERS
DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS STOP!!
WRITE TO THE:
CDC
FDA
CONGRESS
OPRAH
MIKE MOORE
JUST DO IT!!
LET OTHERS KNOW OF YOUR AFFLICTIONS
START A PETITION TO GET CONGRESS INVOLVED
THIS IS SOOO MUCH BIGGER THAT YOU KNOW !!!
IT IS A RESULT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY!!!
IF EVERYONE AFFLICTED WOULD WRITE TO CONGRESS
MAYBE THEY WOULD START PAYING ATTENTION
OR YOU COULD TRY TO GET THIS PROPLEM TELEVISED!
BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT NOW!! ACT FAST,DON'T BE IDLE!
JUST DO IT!!!!!!

To Skin doc:

In regards to your statement:

"There seems to be an epidemic of delusions of parasitosis with crystal meth. As someone who is currently treating several of these patients, one only needs to do a tox screen to figure this out. The Morgellons patients are nothing more than delusions patients, and I wonder how many of them have positive toxicology tests for crystal meth."

It is alarming but not at all surprising that a member of a group with a high incidence of "God complex" (MD's,et.al) is so quick to assign whole populations to an inferior caste. By doing so, this Doctor has been blinded by judgment and as a result has mangled the correct causal order by which the scientific method can be relied upon to cut through human assumption.

Please consider the dynamic I propose with some forgiveness for my tone.

THE NEW FIBER DISEASE"MORGELLONS" IS NOT DELUSIONAL-IT IS VERY REAL
THE PARASITES/FIBERS/MUTATION IS CAUSED BY THE BIOTECHNOLOGY INTRODUCED IN YOUR FOOD CHAIN,LEGAL ONLY IN THE USA.
IT'S A BIG MONEY MAKER
IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM

NEW YORK – A soil bacterium that causes lumpy tumors on plants may be able to 'jump kingdoms' and insert its tumor-causing DNA into human cells, new research findings suggest. The bacterium, called Agrobacterium tumefaciens, contains a small piece of DNA that can insert itself into the DNA of a host cell and initiate a tumor. Agrobacterium is already known to cause plant tumors, but researchers wanted to test whether the bacterium could similarly insert its DNA into human cells.
"YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT"

Look I don't do "DRUGS" so the crystal meth thing is way out there for most that have this and I would like a Dr to tell me why I have wounds big ones all over I'm not nuts or out of my mind I'm just wantinmg this BUG or what ever it is to get of me I never had nothing like this in my life. I had back sourgery came home next thing I'm being bit all over started at my legs then all over in my hair I'm sick of it.

When I hear anyony say,
It is a delusion, I feel sad...
I had my comment written down, but I can not see it published.
I did tackle it in a diffrent
way and it might seem unbelievable...
I have it over to years now and have never taken medication and to go to a Docktor is a waste of time.. I am still fighting, but I wonder who will winn on the end...

(PCI) in Tempe, Arizona is a research and testing facility with many years experience and knowledge of the diagnosis, pathology, ecology, and transmission of human parasitic infections from wildlife and environmental sources to humans. Dr. Amin there sees NCS (also known as Morgellon's Disease) patients for evaluation. During an evaluation session, the patient's medical history and environmental exposure are discussed, a diagnosis of NCS may be established, and recommendations to manage/resolve the conditions are made. Their phone number is 480-767-2522. Web site: http://www.parasitetesting.com/door/

My brother has been talking about this disease, researching it on line, doing his own analysis etc for a couple years now. I was skeptical at first but not any longer.
If you don't believe this is real or want some proof get a black light and look at your skin or the persons skin who is infected. You can also pick up a cheap microscope at radio shack or someplace like that and see them. Look under your fingernails, around any open wounds or scrapes/scabs. One night we sat in the dark, black light in hand for about 40 minutes. At first I said, ok so you have little dudahs that glow under black light on you, big deal. Then I started looking closer, some of it was resting on his skin, some looked like it was coming out of his skin like little hairs, some weaved in and out of his skin. They didn't move they just sat there doing nothing, NOT! I began to notice they were moving very slowly, you couldn't see them move with the naked eye. I noticed two long fibers, maybe 3/4 inch long that were running parallel to an old scar on his head. They were just under the skin, I left the room for about fifteen minutes came back and they were both gone. Seems crazy I know but...
They look like little fibers; typically not straight like a piece of thread they usually have a kink in them (hard to describe).
Many people believe they are actually some form of, "Nano Technology". For the paranoid, man made to cause... death and blablabla anyway.
I don't want to go into any of that, but I do have two self-help methods some sufferers might find useful. [It's funny, when my brother called one of the prominent researchers (so called caring expert trying to help find a cure etc) wanting to talk and share what he has learned, she basically scoffed at his ideas and told him if he wanted to continue the phone conversation it would cost $250 for 1/2hr conversation.] There is alot of that going on right now.

Anyway the first thing that helped him is a simple one, DUCKTAPE! He had a spot on his back that has been numb for years. After seeing the fibers in and out of his skin he tried brushing them out, picking them out and so on. If you take a piece of Ducktape wrap around your hand sticky side out and use it like you would to remove lint from your cloths it pulls them out. After he did that the numbness went away. It helps get rid of the itching sensation and some other symptems for a while anyway. He swears by it!

The second thing that helps him is a hot, (as hot as you can handle) sauna/steam bath. He uses a shower closed in etc... After about 30 minutes he brushes his skin to get them out and on the surface then a hot-hot rinse followed by cold to close the pours.

Neither of these are cures but they help him feel better for long enough to be worth it.

Good luck.

By the way, I believe every person you know has some in them. Everybody my brother has checked he has found fibers on, myself included. I hate that!

He Bob,
you are right...
Everybody only is asking for money and mostly without result...
I know this things do not like heat and I have a cream FINALGONE... it is something made from the bees and I always get releave...
But nobody does listen to you and they think it is in our mind...
So we have to try to help ourself...
Good Luck Charlotte

you are all crazy. get some seroquel.

if we are all crazy, than I wonder
what the world is coming too...

Dr. Staninger's findings are pending to published in the Journal of Pathology.

"Morgellons"

- - - A disease in which individuals have the growth of fibers from their skin that burn at 1,700 degrees F and do not melt. (20)(* see below) A private study to determine the chemical and biological composition of these fibers has shown that the fibers' outer casing is made up of high density polyethylene fiber (HDPE). The fiber material is used commonly in the manufacture of fiber optics. There is no history of the individual in that industry or coming into contact with this material. It was further determined that this material is used throughout the bio nanotechnology world as a compound to encapsulate a viral protein envelope, which is composed of a viron (1/150th times smaller than a virus) with DNA, RNA, RNAi (mutated RNA) or RNAsi linear or ring plasmids for specific functions. (21, 22) Toxicological pathology identification of tissue biopsies from an individual diagnosed with Morgellons revealed the presence of continual silica or glass tubules with the presence of silicone. (23) Dr. Staninger's full paper presented at conference

It must be noted that the core toxicological effects of silicone alone have been demonstrated throughout the breast implant industry and litigation cases. (24, 25)

Furthermore, silicone cannot make silica, but silica or silica bicarbonate can make silicone through natural cellular interaction in a biological system. The subject did not have breast implants or any other implant or silicon glue injections. "

Other findings Dr. Staninger presented at the conference:




FDA Approved New Virus Sprays For Foods - August, 2006.

The FDA approved nano-virile protein bacteria eaters that work on deli meats and other ready-to-eat foods in August, 2006. Food manufacturers started spraying this new nantechnology viruses on meats and vegetables in August 2006.

Intralytix Corporation, based in Baltimore, first petitioned the FDA in 2002 to allow the viruses to be used as an additive. It has since licensed the product to a multinational company, which is marketing the virus spray worldwide.

The viruses are known as bacteriophages, viruses that kill bacteria, or phages for short. Phages have been around a long time, living as parasites inside many bacteria.

Intralytix uses biotechnology to grow viral phages in a culture with Listeria, in theory teaching the viruses to recognize the bacteria. The FDA-approved cocktail contains six different viruses intended to attack one strain of bacteria.

This mixture is then sprayed on food. If Listeria is present in the food, the bacteria will ingest the viruses. This results in massive viral replication inside the bacteria, until such point as the bacteria simply bursts. This battle results in significant production of bacterial poisons called “endotoxins”, as the bacteria tries to defend itself. When the bacteria burst, these endotoxins are released. These, along with the victorious live viruses, will now be on the food that will be eaten, ingested into the human body.

The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a rare bacterium known as Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is killed by cooking; however, it poses a problem in meats that are cooked during processing and not cooked again prior to consumption, so it can readily infect foods such as deli meats.

The FDA and Intralytix would like us to believe that these viruses will only attack the specified bacteria they are intended to kill and will be harmless to humans. Wrong ! There is no way they can possibly guarantee such safety. Viruses such as HIV recognize human cells such a T-Cells and Natural Killer cells. Therfore, this new spray-on virus can potentially recognize normal bacterial cells in the human digestive tract and may be able to adapt to infect one or more of these friendly bacteria in the human colon.

The human immune system reacts directly to viral phages. processed deli meat is certain to envoke an immune reaction to the viruses. What will this reaction be? Allergy? Asthma? Autoimmunity? Morgellons? Cancer? How can the FDA approve a food additive that it knows can induce a variety of human immune responses? Phages, such as this viral spray are equipped to disrupt normal immunity that are being considered for use as part of organ transplant medicine. What are these people thinking inventing these things?

Now Your Wondering? What Does This Have To Do With Morgellons Sufferers?

FDA, EPA and Nanotechnology

Nanotechnlogy is the ability to control things at an atomic and molecular scale of between one and 100 nanometers and has been met with enthusiasm across a variety of industries. Critics highlight the murky area of how nanoparticles affect toxicity and they say nanoparticles should be treated as new, potentially harmful materials and tested for safety accordingly. (5)

Unlike pharmaceuticals, which must go through a series of pre-market approvals, finished dietary supplements need no pre-market approval. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which is part of the Food and Cosmetic Act, only ingredients not marketed in the US before October 1994 must be approved by FDA before use in consumer products. Thus, as it stands, pre-market regulation of nanotechnology in dietary supplements, biological pesticides, and other man made nanotechnology does not fall under FDA, EPA, OSHA, FIFRA and other regulatory agencies in the USA, just for the simple reason that the nanotechnology is so small that the conventional regulatory laboratory methods do not have equipment to measure at 9 decimals below the zero and are only addressing 3 and 4 decimals (ppm, ppb, and ppt). " (Staninger, Dr. Hildegarde, ibid.)

The above is the "tip" of the iceberg. There are now many, many thousands of Moregellons victims across the globe. And the numbers are growing daily. The disease is "unknown" by the CDC, and the CDC was instructed by certain members of Congress last July to form a health team to immediately study the findings and report back to them. As yet, the CDC has not come to any conclusion as to what is causing Morgellons. However, some of the proof is in. More is on its way as this private research continues. Isn't it amazing how private individuals in the medical fields have to find the causes of such things as this, yet, the CDC is given billions of dollars by the government each year to operate? These tests, which cost in excess of $30,000, were paid for by private citizens to "find" the cause of Morgellons.

Please call, write, email your Congressman TODAY to issue an order to the FDA to halt the use of these genetically modified viral protein envelope "concoctions" on foods. This is a very serious matter. Please email your friends about this information and get your friends and family involved in writing your Congressman to halt this insidiuous assault on our food supply and our environment. Your call will help in preventing untold millions to suffer, you and your family included!

Hello - I have the same symptoms as all of you. I live in Las Vegas. Just curious if any of you have experimented with any illegal drugs. I think it may have something to do with it. I have been to numerous doctors and they all brush me off. Please help!
