Morgellons Disease: Is It Real?

image Sufferers of Morgellons disease complain of invisible parasites biting their skin. And they get skin lesions from which sprout strange fibers. And mysterious black spore-like specks appear on their skin. Cases of this strange disease seem to be spreading, especially in the Bay area. One theory is that it has something to do with Lyme disease. Or it may be a case of mass delusion. The medical community seems to think it's mass delusion. Most people who show up complaining of these symptoms get diagnosed with 'delusional parasitosis', which is a psychological problem in which people imagine that they're infested by parasites. Not having any medical qualifications at all, I won't weigh in on whether this is a real disease or mass delusion, but some of the behavior of the patients does sound suspiciously bizarre. Take the case of Theresa Blodgett:

She gathers up the black specks, the mysterious fibers and the small, fuzzy 'cocoons' she finds on her skin and around her home. She tapes the macabre samples to typing paper, but she said no doctor will analyze the collection. Physicians who glance at the specimens dismiss the lot as stray hairs, clothing fibers, scabs and other common household debris, she said.

So either she really is suffering from something and is desperately but unsuccessfully trying to get doctors to pay attention to her, or she's obsessively collecting house dust and stray flecks of dirt and convincing herself that these things are parasites attacking her.

The worst thing is, you can not talk to anyone about it,not even the Family..
So we are all alone to fight that critters, what I call them..
Sometimes I think wether it is worth to stay alive...
But we are all still soldjering along..
If they can not help us or understand us..
they should not say...
It is all in our mind!...
Happy New Year... Charlotte

I have things happening to me and they are not coming from my mind...
It is going on for 35 years and that was the time when I did start to take notice..
I have it all written down. It does happen in front of my Family and even by my Family Docktor...
But I think they are frightend to confront it...
I made photo's of it, but no one will look at it..
Beside: it is not only hair and house dust..
I still collect the things, but give it to someone to inspect, it is useless...
I did spit out insects with my saliva and had to press the Docktor to send it away to be inspected.
But all what I was told when it came back...
Bacteria...
I tryed the medication for it, but nothing has worked...
I am on no medication.. I had the head cold just a few days ago and did not even take coldtablets and it went away on its own...
I think I was lucky to spit out the insects otherwise they would have developed in my body and come out thrue the skin...
All I will say...
It is not in our mind, otherwise if we can produce this things in our mind, we don't have to go shopping anymore, as the mind will put everything on the table..
The one who knows it all and tells us it is in our mind should try this!
Good luck Charlotte

It comes from a plant that was genetically altered to contain human genes. The plants are spreading, people eat them and become infected. It is probably from a tuberous plant like a carrot or potato.

to anyone suffering from any of the various, insidious, horrendous aspects of Morgellons--don't waste energy trying to convince doubters. Save your strength for finding treatment and getting better. I suffered horribly for some 5 months, as did my roommate. There ARE bugs involved. Many different kinds I have come to believe. I think the skin becomes a fertile environment for bug infestation and bacteria and fungi also play a part. I had worms, cocoons, spores, all kinds of objects come out of my body in every imaginable way. If nothing seems to work, move to a different place-house apartment,whatever. That is what finally healed me. I'll help anyone with my experience if I can.

PONY GIRL IS RIGHT ON THE NOSE!!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
THE ARE TUMEROUS PLANTS INJECTED WITH AGROBACTERIUM TI (TUMER INDUCING)
IT'S A VERY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS....THAT THE USDA HAS APPROVED THIS NASTY BIOTECH FOOD IN THE USA
IT IS THE CAUSE OF MANY NEW HEALTH CONCERNS
ALSO WATCH OUT FOR THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR...BIOTECH PRODUCED COTTON GROWN WITH BT'S THAT'S BACTERIA TREATED. I AM SEVERLY ALERGIC TO BACTERIA AND HAVE FOUND OUT FIRST HAND HOW HORRIBLE MY SKIN HAS REACTED TO THE NEW BT COTTON -I HAD A RASH FROM MY NECK TO MY ABDOMEN BOTH FRONT AND BACK FROM A SHIRT GOWN WITH ALGADON(((CHECK YOUR LABELS ))
WRITE TO CONGRESS AND HAVE THEM STOP THIS AWFUL BIOTECH NEW WAVE.......OUR HEALTH IS AT GREAT RISK.
WHAT IS NOW CALLED ORGANIC AT ONE TIME WAS CALLED FOOD. IT'S A SHAME THAT WE NEED TO LABEL NORMAL FOOD ORGANIC AND PAY THE PRICE. BITECH FOOD IS IN MORE THAN 86% OFF ALL PRODUCTS. YOU CAN THANK COMPANIES LIKE MONSANTO FOR THAT.!!!

Sarcastikas...Oh, how right you are. The studies are mostly in San Francisco now but more and more people are complaining about this problem. Sure there are some that may imagine seeing parasites for one but it would be a terrible human injustice if there really is a problem as these people have been saying. Stronger lenses in microscopes would really help.
Also there are not any health checks done on the millions of people that have come to our country. Many reports of skin problems and internal problems have begun to pop up here from what I have heard.
To those of you that think this is a bunch of hog wash, so to speak..maybe you should do some research and educate yourselves on some of the excellent websites out there concerning the problem. It is much easier to deny anything not understood. But what if you are wrong? This saddens me. The CDC is now doing research on this problem as there are enough claims that warrent the funding of testing done. Check out their website. So........until you have the facts to back up your opinions then I suggest you use an open mind until all the testing has been completed and all the results are in. 😊 D

Robert,
I and my family are suffering with this parasite. WE are trying to move. Please tell me what you did specifically to heal yourself. Ihave a four month old, 2 month old 6yr and 16 yr old that have this. It is so difficult to watch them go through it. Any help would be appreciated
Posted by Tamara Miles  on  Wed Apr 02, 2008  at  09:13 AM
My boyfriend has Morgellons and I have to say, it's insane. He's constantly pulling fibers and little grains and fuzz out from under his skin. Whenever a fiber is about to come out, he gets a painful little shock and a biting feeling...He's starting to give up hope.
He's found some temporary relief from Morgellons by taking salt baths and using anti fungal cremes all over his body; he's even gone as far as spraying himself all over with perfume because he says it makes more fibers come out.
So we're looking for relief...if anyone has any doctors who believe this actually exists, please please PLEASE let us know.
And even if there's a doctor who doesn't quite know about it but would be willing to learn, my boyfriend's done more than enough research (almost 13 hours a day), that information would be useful as well.

This is becoming more prevalent. These parasites attack people with weakened immune systems most time, which is a product of our society, fast food toxins, pollutants. they think we are dying or near death so they do their job.

Many people have this illness disquised as excema etc... It is different for diffent people. They are cutaneous larva migrans and other worms and insects attracted to them. Use borax to wash clothes. move out of your home if you can afford. depending on how long he's had them he can get rid of it. he needs a whole lifestyle change. tell him to stop eating sugar, eat whole foods, organic, vegatable that are bitter, lots of pineapple, papaya, do liver flushes, kidney flushes, metal flushes ie. detoxify and visit humaworm, you can google that for deworming.

also a guy named paul schmidt has a website out there at psfresearch. he beat this thing, but his protocol cost 120 dollars. I and my family have so called "morgellons". I don't have half as much trouble as some because of diet. They are parasites that have been around forever. People and pets carry them with no rx if healthy. He may have CFS, lyme or just be stressed or eating badly.

Diet change is 80% of cure. google barefoot herbalist, cure manual, psf research, dr hulda clark,be healthy forever. He MUST detox properly. This thing is contagious. Be careful. The lint is caccoon and threads are worms in fillarial stage is actually threadstage for the worm.

Dont go to the doctor with this stuff, just tell him you think you have worms. He may have you do a test for parasites which may come back negative, usually does. But definitely ask for western blot test. Good luck, E-mail back if you have questions.

My wife and I have most all the symptons describe by others. Havings the same responces from most Doctors as the rest of the infected. We found a Doctor who knows the truth. He has dianosed us eas having Morgellons. He has gone to great leangths, trying to get help for us. I have extream swelling in both feet and ankles Makes walking almost impossible. Can't wear shoes. I beleave my legs are loaded with small white worms and toxins given off by the worms. We've tried all the run of the mill herps, zappers, etc. I beleave the worms are manny, and they are slow at dying.

Has anyone checked out dR HILLDEGARDE STANINGERS' REPORTS YET
please go to this site, I belive she is the only one who knows the truth behind MORGELLONS

http://www.rense.com/general78/nano911.htm

I am amazed that not more people realize how real this is
I am even more amazed how naive most people are
My sister has this awful disease/affliction.
It happenned to her over 5 years ago
Strange and ironic is this -over 6 years ago she decided to start eating healthy and was consuming oatmeal,rice, fresh veggies (ex. potatoes, tomatoes) and fruits on a daily basis.
Now listen to this...........
I know another woman-a friend of mine _ who has the same thing
I brought the two of them together to find out what they have in common (( besides going to over 12 doctors, that be 24 between the 2 of them ,not a one knowing what it was))I can give you a list of what all these uneducated doctors revealed.
WHAT THEY HAD IN COMMON WAS THE CHANGE IN DIET
THEY BOTH STARTING CONSUMING LOTS OF OATMEAL,FRESH VEGGIES AND FRUITS
Ring a bell to any of you "MORGIES"..........
IT'S IN THE FOOD
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT !!!!!!!!

If the answer is yes... please let me know.....
Warm greetings Charlotte
Posted by Charlotte  on  Wed May 07, 2008  at  02:54 AM
Yes. its the main worm-Cutaneous Larva Migran reproducing. It causes you to swallow so it can start its life cycle all over again in the intestinal tract, its auto-infectious. So many people will be affected by this because of the food we eat and the clothing we wear (cotton. Its everywhere, but the shape of your immune system decides whether you get it or not.

Relax, sleep try not to stress and change your diet to whole foods. No sugar, fast food or carbs for at least three months use food grade oil of oregano, excercise, get and use a good wormer, detoxify, cleanse, braggs apple cider vinegar daily in water, for bath or ingestion. For bathing combine with epsom salts. Move if possible your entire environment is crawling with them. use tea tree oil, oregano oil (careful you must only use a drop or two), lemon oil in a carrier oil for skin. burn insense daily in every room. gargle with salt water, sometimes swallow it. see an infectious disease specialist for specific test such as ELISA and others. some of these things have to be done in a specific order so you dont cancel each other out.

please contact me for further info. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) I have this parasite and am beating it. its a process, not a quick fix. The trick is to make your body unwelcoming to these things.
Posted by tamara  on  Wed May 07, 2008  at  07:00 AM
I do spit the sticky substance out and had in the beginning insects in the saliva... I was told by some body to spit it in a container and put bleach in it...
The Docktor did not even wanted to have a look at it... I do that now for 3 years. I also get a thick jellow something out of my throat and I call it blob...
I have nothing in my body... I did study it and I have it all written down...
I found in the beginning when I did not spit it out all the black and fussy things I saw in the pictures here,coming out of the body from the people! It was outside my body..I can feel when I have the sticky substance coming up in my throat and I never swallow it...
Try this one out, it doeas not cost anything...
I have no medication and take one tablet be 12 a day and Spirulina...

Morgellon comes from the silicone self replicating nanotech microscopic size machines. The strands can be either red or black and hair size width. Definitely escaped from a lab! Or worse sprayed on victims deliberately for sick government experiments. The cure would be dig them out and look at them under your own microscope. Do your own research! Don't bother going to doctors unless they are alternative for sure. Since they are going to call everyone crazy or say that they have Schizophrenia! All since there be no PROOF of the silicon machine sort since nanotech WILL NOT ALLOW OR PROMOTE the truth for there to be proof yet for doctors training. But as you all dig these out with tweezers please do not dig that far unless your sure these will be removable and are not attached to a blood sac. I think a doctor will attempt removal if these can be shown to be attache to blood sac sucking your life out as many have proven to be found doing. Whereas they might not get involved over the grain of rice size ones; even if they itch like crazy. But then again if able to be without repercussions and are with great pain take a scalpel [if shallow] and fetch the item out like any sane parasite removal process. Stock up on giant tweezers for removal of these sob's as I think were going to have a epidemic of these sooner than later.

I think these tiny silicon machine need a warm host to host distribution rather than dryer or fresher food. I would avoid all popular fast food businesses like burgers and also the soy industry as the soy and burgers equally all be genetically modified. And baked bread gets dry quick, everyone could fry own bread of quinoa flour and avoid the extra dose of GM or GE from all the grains angle of promoting. I think these tiny silicon machines come more from deliberate administered spray then genetically modified foods however I'm sure a sane being would seek to avoid all genetically modified foods to be on the safe side so they eat primitive and ancient crops thereby reducing all disease potential from Monsanto etc. messed with one.

This tiny silicon nanotech machine under the skin irritation does not seem to be a communicable disease [cough droplet distributed] currently, but later who the h*ll knows. But if doctors do not take this seriously then forget them all who don't. We must learn to become our own doctor. There are some books mentioning Morgellons and the source basis presented was nanobots. I urge listening to a "world band" radio as that's the ONLY truth news now. I Listen to Genesis Communication radio and they have DR. Deagle, MD. who understands the nature of some of this subject. Dr. Deagle be available at the nutrimedical report. There's also Alex Jones and the Power Hour with David and Joyce and many more. I like the other world band stations for trucker news and also the interviews on WRVA and sometimes china or India. brightest blessings.

I had insects in my saliva.....
I still have this things with me, I was lucky that I have seen it when it showed itself to me...
Accidantly or not, it is all unreal...
I have it now for over 3 years...
The Doctor I wnet to was our family Doctor for 30 years...
He told me to come back when I need medication and did not want anything to do with it...
Luckily till today I am free of it...
But it takes a lot of strengs to go on alone this lonely road...
But with the time I did learn a lot about it..
Have been reading books went on the Internet...
But no one will have anything to do with it...
So I learned to live with it...
I am glad it does behave and I feel it behaves like a child.. So when I get mad at it I feel sorry... Strange but true... I would not believe it myself if it did not happen to me...
So I do not blame anyone who thinks I am mad..
They have to have the experience themself...

3. The Doctors show

To MRF Registrants:

Microbiologist's Report:

A microbiologist whose work was funded through a grant from the Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF) has issued a phase one report. The microbiologist was clear that the information provided to the MRF in this report was absolutely preliminary and not conclusive in any way. The microbiologist has submitted a request to the MRF for an additional two phases of this study which we hope to be able to fund in the future. The microbiologist's name has been omitted at their request since they do not wish to be contacted by patients and the media and wish only to do their work. You can read this phase one report here: Phase One Report http://www.morgellons.org/Phase%20One.htm

NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program:

Unfortunately, according to an official at the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program, a decision has been made at the NIH that patients with Morgellons disease will not be accepted into this program. We sincerely apologize for this situation, especially for those of you whose physicians already submitted your information to this program. The CDC is continuing to investigate Morgellons disease and will release their findings when they are ready.

The Doctors:

We would like to thank a patient with Morgellons disease for her participation in a segment of THE DOCTORS, a new, one-hour syndicated daytime talk show which will premiere in September on CBS. . We will give you additional information about the date this segment will air when the information becomes available to us. As always, we will update you as quickly as possible when any new information becomes available to us.

To Victoria Moore in Charlotte, NC RE: Morgellons
My name is Lara and I live in Huntersville,NC. I have been exhibiting symptoms similar to Morgellons for the last 4 months and would love to know the physician that you are seeing. I am soon to separate from my husband(not because of the Morgellons, but it's not helping). He thinks I'm crazy of course and that it's all in my head. I have two small children, have several other chronic illnesses and am very scared, not to mention in misery due to all of the symptoms of everything associated with Morgellons.
I am so glad you found someone one to help you through this. I'm sure it helps!
PLEASE E-mail me back with your DR's name and # if you can, ASAP. I am having a major flare and am feeling very hopeless.
Thank you so much! Best wishes!

I'm seventeen. I've recently been experiencing many of these symptoms reported by "Morgellons" sufferers. Black specks, black, red, blue and white fibers- and let me tell you, these are NOT normal fabric fibers or whatever- if you find a thread from your shirt on your finger, it is easily rubbed or blown off. These aren't. They stick to me, they burrow into my skin. When I try to pull the loose end of one of these off me, it's like pulling a hair. I've been sweating a lot more recently. I've been to three doctors so far and have had all treatments for any "normal" type of skin parasite- some of it worked, if only for a few hours or days. It keeps coming back. Lesions are now starting to crop up.

I have no idea what kind of disease, or skin disorder, or even psychological issue this could be. All I know is, it's driving me nuts.
Posted by Allegra  on  Mon Sep 22, 2008  at  07:17 AM
I too think I have Morgellons, I am in Charlotte,NC and sorry I know this is my second post in hopes to find someone who knows of a physician that treats it in the area. Please let me know ASAP if yo do!!!!!!!
One more thing, I know this sounds insane, but does anyone else with symptoms notice weird things happen when they touch food or clothing? If you do you will know what I mean by this. I will sound too crazy if I go into detail.
Actually I have heard of "Springtails" and Morgellons being combined in the body at the same time. It's like something jumps from my skin to whatever food item I pick up and then there is a white thing in it's place. I know, I promise I am lucide, though I wish I wasn't most of the time due to this horror.

Try to get an Aloe vera plant,cut the yelly out and rub it in to the sore...
I have my cut out jelly in the freezer and
whenever I am getting the itchyness I just rub
it over with the frozen jelly..
It is good for your face too...

Hi "Those who believe"
This is my second post, but it's been quite some time.
Let me start by saying that I was sobbing when I sat down to write this. I just had to cancel a flight to Pittsburgh (my home town). Headed to see friends and family and attend a few Super Bowl parties to supprt my Steelers of course!!
I've been battling itching, crawling sensations, lesions all over my body for over six months. I've seen numerous dermotologists, even drove to Wake Forest. No answers not a damn (excuse my French) that seemed to want to find an answer. And to those that call us "obsessed:, your damn skippy I'm obsessed! If you could live in my shoes a day, as another sufferer mentioned, you would see why we are: OBSESSED! Am I angry? Yes, because my kids don't deserve this life I am having to live! The scariest thing is they too are comlaining of similair symptoms. Confirmining the suspision The suspicion that it is infecioious. It is full blown now and I don't know I need a Dr. that even if they don't have the answers, is willing to keep searching. Anyway, those of you with hope, reading your posts stopped my tears and gave me just that "hope" I needed to not feel so isolated! I have tried some online prducts, but even they though they gave some relief, are very expensive! I would jump on a plane tomorrow if I could get someone in the medical community to really listen.
Anyway, thank you to the believers. I am open to anything! Dr's specializing in this, diets, products, ANYTHING TO GET SOME RELIEF!!!! RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE SEND ME ANY IDEAS!
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU THAT SUFFER WITH THIS!!!

try provodone iodine and Gene's all natural skin cream (available online at same webiste). Do whatever you can to boost your immunity-exercise, lots of vegetables and fruit, B-12 shots. Try some sunshine on your skin, even a short tanning bed session. Don't forget to meditate and relax no matter what.

A friend of mine from the UK sent a tube of Germolene to me, which is the best I have used for the itching and breakouts on humans. If you do a search and happen to order some please do not use or get it on or around cats. Just cover the area with clothing and wash your hands really good after using this cream. I hope this helps.

Germolene is only for external use. Please know that I am not a doctor or with any firm selling this product. I just am an elderly woman that found something that helps. Please consult your doctor before you use it, however. Thanks.

Antibiotics help tremendously. I am taking Bactrim 1x day (although I am thinking about 2xs) and Doxycicline 200 mg x2 day (soon going to 600mg day). I think that stuff works the best. The Bactrim seems to really help with the symptoms. I took two weeks of Augmentin before starting the others and that helped tremendously as well. I also take Diflucan 200mg day (soon to switch to Sporanox), and Albendazole 400 x2 a day. All of this combination is hard on the liver, so you need to be careful and have your doc check liver enzymes regularly. It has taken me about three months to get back to where I could go back to work. I am hopeful that the right combination of diet, exercise and anti-biotics might be eventually a cure. No sugar, no alcohol and try and limit your food to all natural. Lots of fruits (juice if nothing else). Borax lightly sprinkled over all your carpets, mist with Home Depot Antifungal/bacterial silver active ingredient, pour 1-2 cups antifungal/bacterial silver solution in your wash with 1-2 cups borax + arma nd hammer baking soda detergent. Look into hydrogen peroxide oral therapy (yes you take it internally- but very very dangerous if not done properly and with food grade). Look into MMS. Take lots of the antioxident supps c d e a b complex minerals etc. Grapefruit seed extract topically and orally. Antifungal shampoo and head and shoulders (wash your whole body and hair everyday). Wash your clothes in hot water in the above solution I mentioned. Dont wear anything twice. Consider buying all new clothes. Use only "natural" cleaners in your house. No chemicals. Swiffer (electrostatic properties?) is good for the floors. Put hydrogen peroxide in your humidifier at night through sleep. Take benadryl at bed time to help sleep. Unisom also works when benadryl doesn't. I had never had a time when I laid down and did not get any sleep the whole night. Those have happened several times since this started. Be careful who you tell some of the more unbelievable bizarre things that happen to you - you will risk wearing a straitjacket. Whatever this is, it is unbelievable until you have it. We can only hope enough people that are scientists get this so the whole world doesn't go insane. If it isn't treated, it does drive you crazy. You are not crazy. ABOVE ALL - try and figure out how to remove negative influences/emotions from your life. This thing feeds off of that. It is a vicious cycle once it starts. You have to learn to be a fighter. You will have to fight to get your health back.

There is a highly effective treatment for Morgellons and you can see proof of it here:

Just want to say- if I had heard about this disease even days ago I would have laughed it off as mass hysteria or just people picking at themselves and embedding fibers into wounds or something, but last night probably changed my life...

Last night I was helping my husband by checking him for ingrown hairs on his legs, back and stomach. I use tweezers to gently pull them out of the skin so they don't itch any more- some of them really bother him. I came across one that was very deep and running straight instead of curled up like a normal ingrown hair. So I asked him if it was bothering him and if he wanted me to dig it out even if it hurt a little- he saild to do it cause it was itching and hurting him. So I did. I dug down until I found the hair- a normal hair as far as I can tell, but I noticed something else- stuck to the hair and pulling out of his skin were what looked like little synthetic fibers- like what you'd find on a fuzzy blanket. I thought "what on earth? Did he get some fibers from a bandage or something imbedded in his skin at some point? I didn't like the thought of leaving something under the skin so I kept digging and pulling getting fibers the whole time. Twice I pulled out a strange bit of tissue with fibers all through it and I could see them as they were coming out of his skin as I was using a light and a magnifying glass to see. It was truly bizzarre and made me worry so I looked up fibers under skin on google and found Morgellons. The more I read the more it makes me think of my husband and I am really concerned. We saved some fibers, and looked under a microscope and they are WEIRD! SO, are my husband and I both delusional?

Going to talk to the doc about it on Thursday, I just hope she listens and doesn't think we're crazy or something.

C.G. What did the doctor say? Ewww, I totally can't imagine going over someone and doing what you said. Whose idea is it, yours or your husbands? Exfoliating when he bathes or showers could reduce ingrown hairs, or would that take away the fun?
Posted by swampwater sue  on  Thu Jul 02, 2009  at  07:36 PM
I don't do it for fun, ew! I help him with the ingrown hairs because they hurt and irritate him, and exfoliating just never has gotten them all. It's not like I dig at them most of the time, they're just in the top layer of his skin.

ANYWAYS, lol. He decided not to tell the doc at this time. His reasoning is even if she doesn't dismiss him out of hand there really isn't anything she can do to help him as it's unknown what causes it or what helps. If a breakthrough is made in treatment or what not then perhaps he'll think of talking to the doc.

People who think it is delusion should experience it semself...for 5 years I have something with me similare to the Morgellons desease..
I am without medication as nothing will help...
I have seen what it with me and it was my mistake to tell to the Doctor as now I am mental...
He will not listen and have nothing to do with me as I refuse medication.. I am sure it is something supernatural and after all this years I can hold it in line and it seems to weaken..
But it is still there and I have to keep myself out of not getting depressed.
It is unreal and I would not believe it myself if someone told me, but it is the truth...
God bless Charlotte

I will be putting a pic of my hair on youtube soon, TheRealPhatgrower
My question is: How in the hell do these fibers get into my hair roots? It did not get underneath my hair root by my clothing. I will post the pic/video by Nov 11, check it out, cuz it is real no matter how much people deny it or ignore it. I wish I was wrong, but I'm not. WE NEED HELP PEOPLE, at least look and see!!!!

Can anyone find me 20 or 30 Morgellons patients for study?

Hi,

I work at a non-profit group that helps develop diagnostics and treatments for an infectious disease that has similarities to Morgellons.

I'd like to find 20 or 30 patients diagnosed with Morgellons disease who would be willing to participate in a study. Participants would need to fill out a questionnaire, and provide a stool (fecal) sample.

We would need the patients to be in Oregon to fall under our IRB protocol. It would be preferable if they were in driving distance to Tigard or Corvallis to drop off the specimen.

If the patients were in another state, that would be OK, but we would need a physician in that state who would be willing to get IRB approval for the study. It can usually be done through a local hospital at no cost, but it requires some time. The physician would also have to receive the stool samples and ship them to a lab. BRF will pay for the collection vials and shipping and lab analysis.

The interface to this message board will not allow me to post my e mail address in a standard format, but that is director at bhomcenter dot org. If you google Blastocystis Research, our web site is the first listed, and you can click on Contact.

I'll also check back on this message board in a few days.

Best Wishes,

Ken

You know, I've posted once before a while back about my then-boyfriend who claimed to have had this "Morgellon's" disease.

I can say that I was honestly a little confused as to what to believe.

That was before I started studying psychology.

That was also before he started kicking my ass.

Morgellon's...real or myth?

Elementary, my dear Watson. Your brain does some powerful things.

And please stop using Morgellon's as a scapegoat for all of the bad things that happen to you.

I know what is real, yet I am forced to live in denial. I literally feel hundreds of tiny things 'jumping' and 'popping' off my skin and in my hair. You took psychology, big woop. Maybe you should apply some of that vast knowledge of yours and study this disease. Start at youtube. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL HAVE THE SAME THING WRONG WITH THEM, EXACTLY THE SAME UNDERLYING SYMPTOMS, AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS WEIRD CRYSTALS, FIBERS N SPECKS INSIDE THEIR SKIN AND SORES. JUST STUDY IT, AND GET A GOOD MICROSCOPE, and get a clue.
Posted by William Pope  on  Mon Jan 04, 2010  at  08:18 AM
Get a clue?

If SO many people have it, if it's SUCH a PSA-worthy problem, then why hasn't anything been done about it? Why do doctors and psychologists sit down and throw out parasitic psychosis? Wouldn't the government be concerned? Wouldn't this be globally recognized health concern?

Or would you suggest that it's all some "conspiracy"? Let me guess, microchips and contaminates that are purposely being put into planes that spray for mosquitoes? Is it aliens? Is it bugs?

Or is it your head? Is it possible that you could simply be taking all of the anomalies of the human bodies that happen so often and expanding upon them in order to satisfy your curiosity?

Tell you what...if you haven't already, go see a shrink. I think you have a little more to learn about yourself than you think you do.
