January 17th, 2008Morgellons Disease Pictures and Story
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that it is launching a study to learn about an unexplained condition that causes people to feel as if they have foreign substances growing from their bodies.
People with the condition, referred to as Morgellons disease, say they have fibers and other inorganic material growing out of their skin.
“We earnestly want to learn more about this unexplained illness, which affects the lives of those who suffer from it,” said Dr. Michele Pearson, principal investigator leading the study for the CDC, in a press release. “Those who suffer have questions, and we want to help them.”
“We have a team of epidemiologists, laboratorians and pathologists to carry out the study,” Pearson said.
The study will be conducted in conjunction with Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California Division of Research. For more information, CLICK HERE to visit the CDC’s Unexplained Dermopathy Web site.
In 2006, a number of Morgellons sufferers told ABC News in interviews that when they consulted doctors, they received diagnoses they called wrong or dismissive. Brandi Koch, the wife of former Major League Baseball player Billy Koch, said that she felt as if she were living in a horror movie, claiming she had colored fibers coming out of her skin.
Koch, of Clearwater Beach, Fla., said that her life was good until one day in the shower when she noticed something strange — tiny fibers running through her skin.
“The fibers look like hair, and they’re different colors,” Koch said.
Koch said she knows that what she experienced “sounds crazy,” but it’s true. “If I had a family member call me up and say, ‘I have this stuff,’ I’d say, ‘I’m sending a straitjacket over. You need some help,’” she said.
Anne Dill described a similar condition. Looking at Dill’s life in Florida, she seemed to be living the American dream — her three daughters excelled in sports and were straight-A students.
But life in the Dill household was far from idyllic. Anne’s 40-year-old husband, Tom, died in January 2006, and she believes his death was due to a contagious illness that has infected her entire family.
Dill described her family’s skin: “There’s this fibrous material. It’s in layers.” Dill said the skin on their hands was particularly bad, very swollen and itchy, and said it felt as if bugs were crawling underneath the skin.
Consulting Doctors
Dr. Greg Smith of Gainesville, Ga., has been a pediatrician for the past 30 years. He claimed that a fiber was coming out of his big toe, and he had video footage to prove it.
“It felt like somebody stuck a pin in my toe and wiggled it, and it just continued to hurt,” Smith told ABC News in 2006.
He said he never thought he had bugs. “I’ve certainly had those crawling sensations, and the fibers which come out of the skin are really bizarre, and really odd.”
Smith was handed over to a hospital psychiatrist when he went to the emergency room complaining of a fiber in his eye. He admits that he, too, would be skeptical if a patient came to him with the same story.
“I would wonder if they’d taken their medicine that day. It makes no sense. It’s totally bizarre. It’s something that — just telling the story is so outlandish on the face of it — that no one would believe it,” Smith said. Dill’s doctor told her to stop scratching, even though many of her sores were in places she could not reach.
Koch went to the Mayo Clinic, where doctors didn’t believe that the fibers she’d brought them had grown from her body.
“I saw the infectious disease doctor, and I showed him some samples that I had and he snickered,” she said. “I can’t go through another doctor blowing me off or looking at me like I’m crazy. I know I’m not.”
Dr. Vincent DeLeo, chief of dermatology at New York’s St. Lukes-Roosevelt Medical Center, weighed in on what he’d say to someone who came to him with this condition. “I don’t think this is any different than many patients I’ve seen who have excoriations and believe that there is something in their skin causing this,” he told ABC News in 2006.
DeLeo said the open lesions were most likely a result of scratching the skin.
Relying on Your Own Research
But biologist Mary Leitao refused to accept the medical skepticism surrounding Morgellons.
Leitao’s son, Drew, was just 2 years old when Leitao noticed an odd sore on his lip that would not heal.
“He very simply said ‘bugs,’ and he pointed to his lips,” said Leitao.
Leitao never expected to find herself at the center of a medical storm. But when her son complained about the strange sore, the biologist, who once ran the electron microscope at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, did what any scientist would do. She took a closer look.
“What I saw were bundles of fibers, balls of fibers,” Leitao says. “There was red and blue.” Even stranger, they glowed under ultraviolet light.
Armed with research, Leitao took her son to a doctor at one of the country’s leading hospitals. He dismissed her tale of fibers and wrote to her pediatrician, saying that her son needed Vaseline for his lips and that his mother needed a thorough psychiatric evaluation.
Undaunted, Leitao began poring through medical literature looking for clues. What she discovered was a 17th-century reference to a strange disease with “harsh hairs” called “Morgellons.”
She named the strange fibers Morgellons disease and put the information on a Web site, Morgellons.org. At the time of her interview in 2006, more than 4,500 people had contacted Leitao, claiming they had Morgellons-type symptoms. The name stuck, and the disease was featured on the television show “ER.”
But do these fibers grow from inside the body, as Morgellons patients believe, or do they come from the external environment — a kind of lint — as the medical skeptics say?
Searching for an Answer
Forensic scientist Ron Pogue at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma checked a Morgellons sample against known fibers in the FBI’s national database. “No, no match at all. So this is some strange stuff,” Pogue said in 2006. He thought the skeptics were wrong. “This isn’t lint. This is not a commercial fiber. It’s not.”
The lab’s director, Mark Boese, said the fibers are “consistent with something that the body may be producing.” He added that, “These fibers cannot be manmade and do not come from a plant. This could be a byproduct of a biological organism.”
Dill said she looks at pictures of her family and finds them unrecognizable. “My kids have to see not only their dad but their mom disintegrating, and that’s gotta be really scary.”
While they wait for evidence that they hope will convince the medical community to take them seriously, some Morgellon’s sufferers wear pink bracelets that say, simply, “Fortitude.”

As I told you already, I have nothing coming out of my body, but always find that things in the house…
I have all over my bgody what looks like mosquito bites, but nothing is groing out of it…
I told you that I have studied that energie and I got my relieve by spitting it out. I struggle with it and tell it that I respect it and I expect the same from them…
You can hold me for crazy but it works…..
I put my mind to them and ask where they come from and I useally get an answer. But tell that to someone….
I gave my Doctor the CD where I had written down experiences, but it looks like he is frightend only to put his thought to it…
So I am all on my own and never tell anyone about it…
I still live, I am 78 years old and on no medication at all.
I get told they keep me healthy, but I do not believe it as I am still puzzled myself….
I always pray that this things will be taken away from me and send home where to they belong…
But… I think… everything has a reasen why it is happen in our life and so I try to make the best of it and hope one day it will be gone…
Greetings Charlotte

I just have to add something,…..
I saw that thing which is invading me (There are two)and for that I do not take medication as I know it does not help…
I was told they live in my aura..
I hear them breathing on the left side of my head and like insects making noise on the right side and that for the last 3 years..
I just had my blood test and all was well..
2 Years ago I had a head scan and all was well. So I know I am not out of my mind…
At night time when I go to bed I hear a kind of a humming noise…
It stayes with me the whole night. When I turn around at night than it does start to humm again for a short time.. It is not in my head, I hear it outside of my head…
I get something injected in my eyes and it is feels like sand…
My Body is also vibrating very often.
I also get things injected in my mouth and I even have been shown how it was done… because I was asking….
You can think now that I am not normal. but I am very energetic..
I just moved from Queensland to Sydney and had the biggest furniture van. I was up very early in the morning and helped, cleaned the house and at 17/30 they were finish loading and I started to drive to Sydney..
I went 450Km. stayed in a Motel and early in the morning I went off again and was at 12/30 in Sydney. Long before the furniture Truck arived… I did it all on my own…
I just tell you that and you can come to the conclusion wether I am mad or not…
It is just something that Doctors have to start to think different and learn from the patient..
Charlotte
When something exiting is going on, I hear tiny voices, I can not explain what it is, but it sounds like an insect.
I am feeling sorry for them, it is unreal…..

This is the freakiest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve done a bit of research, and it’s apparent that the CDC believes it’s real, however fantastic it may sound. Worth noting is that from reading the 2 stories that are currently posted here, there is a definite mental problem that goes along with it. Whether that’s a symptom or a cause will be very interesting to learn.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Further to above, parasites are with us always, if our immune becomes suppressed in some way from illness we are at greater risk. Also, people with mental illness are not immune to parasites, these diseases can co-exist. I would be curious to know if someone has a pre-existing disease and then develops the symptoms as described above. Then the suppressed immune system theory would be a reality. Unfortunately we are at the mercy of the health care system to develop treatments and cures, it must be financially feasible for any drug manufacturer to come up with a product, which would take years to even get it to the end user stage, a product which we can safely use for treatment. The bottom line is we as individuals have to be careful what we ingest and how we treat our bodies, as we have to live in them for 90 years or so. We are at the mercy of the parasites as they we here for millions of years and have already figured out how to survive. It is up to us to do the same.

As a licensed psychologist, with over 30 years of experience I defy a panel of impartial professionals to declare that I suffer from any form of “delusional parisitosis”. My situation is this: last summer while riding my lawn tractor I scratched my right thigh (wearing shorts at the time) on a thorned vine locally called a pig vine. This plant usually leaves more than just a scratch, and also causes a short-lived irritation that itches quite severely. In a few days the itching subsided, but still a few days later I noticed five small pimple-like lesions, characterized by edema and extreme irritation. These were also located on my right thigh but not at the same location as the prior injuries. Shortly, I would wake up in the morning realizing that I had scratched at them to the point of bleeding, and resolved avoid this by wearing full length pajamas. All of this was in July of 2007. Now as the summer of 2008 approaches, I have continued to experience severe itching of two of the remaining lesions. The other three were treated with all manner of the typical otc remedies to no avail. My local physician looked at the lesions, and said simply he did not know what they were, and offered no treatment. I then reasoned that since all else had failed, I would use cryogenic methods experimentally to relieve the symptoms, if not cure the problem. Four months ago, I used Wartner’s wart removal system to treat three of the lesions, and they gradually ceased to cause any itching at all. The skin is somewhat discolored and thickened with scar tissue, but otherwise benign. Very recently I used the same procedure on the two remaining sites and await the result. I do have photographs that clearly show some sort of ‘threads’ or ‘fibers’ issuing from tissue removed from the two remaining lesions, and will email them to any one requesting them.

Especially interested in any other reports of successful treatment.

I found that these two creams: Gene’s All Natural and DSP-(divine skin protection) cleared up my skin. Provodone iodine healed the lesions. Lemon halves rubbed on skin cause everything to exit.

Ok. While Im relieved that I may have found out whats wrong with me and i might not be insane like my family thinks, now Im all freaked out and I have a question…Do ALL ppl with Morgellos always have Sores? I have the black spec thingys (also little white/yellowish seed like things), the creepy crawly feeling and hair like fibers (mostly blue and sometimes red) They come right out of my skin, theyre not comming out of and kind of sore or anything. and its like when i see a black spec and or fiber like hair and I tweeze it off my skin another will pop up and then another.. so on and so forth. sometimes popping out clusters of these things! I havent seen a Doctor for this because I dont have insurance. and i prob. would have continued to live with it and my family thinking Im going crazy because i am like obsesses with getting these things off my skin. but now Ive noticed it on my daughter who is 6, and my son and nephew(I babysit my nephew so hes with me all the time) They’re both under the age of 2 and they dont have any kind of sores either. But Im freaking out!!!! should we all see a DR.??
September 24th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Mine come up as teeny tiny bumps with no mark at all. I just wind up rubbing it for some reason and then scratch it. Then it opens up and festers, but they pop up in patches. They don’t itch, they’re just there and I pick at them. I’ve been putting Nivea cream on them to try & stop picking because they’re dry. I just don’t know where they come from or what causes them.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:45 am
I just read a story about Morgellons on MSMBC. It sounded like a a bad b-movie. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live with this. From now on I will be more empathetic when someone tells me something that I don’t believe, that I think is just in their head. The pictures I have seen , seem very real. How can this be discounted by some in the medical profession? There’s physical evidence!!!
For those that think this is just a psychiatric disorder, I challenge them to submit themselves to something traumatic and see how that impacts you down the road. I was almost struck by a tree and now every time I hear loud noises above me, I get nervous and recall the falling tree. If I had things sprouting out of my skin and can feel fibers growing inside me, I think that would probably cause some strong Traumatic Stress Disorder, even after being healed.
I hope they find a cause/cure for you all!
September 28th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Go to google and look up ‘collembola’. The bad news is that there is no cure, as of yet, for an infestation in the human body. However, it does fit with these symptoms, although I don’t know if they produce the fibers or not. Hope this helps. I just ran across it and had to come back here and post. I don’t have any of these symptoms and I hope I never do, but I DO hope they find help for the people suffering from this, whatever ‘this’ is.

dee–those were very kind words..i/we thank you.
claudio—definately some sort of mental disorder?…is that what you said?…well…
YOUR OPINION plus ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY NINE CENTS will get you a cup of coffee at mcdonalds…
the price of coffee at mcdonalds is $1.59…..
need i say more??
amber–no sores here,either,anymore..for about 5–maybe 6 years…prior to that a tiny pimple would appear and without even touching it, it would just kind of explode and i’d end up with a huge raw area…sad thing about it, those usually happened on my face–impossible to cover or disguse.
dear,dear charlotte
i have a huge amount of respect for your coming forward with the words that you did…i hope you’ve paid no mind to claudio
i wish there was a way to let you know that i do not dis-believe anything you’ve said–as anyone who knows morgellons(personally)realizes that ANYTHING is possible..
crickets–i heard a constant cricket chirping for years and didnt realize that it was not crickets until it stopped!!
respect is something that entity is surely lacking….respect and manners…and a willing to co-operate…
a peaceful co-existance is possible if one is able to get their cooperation.
may god bless you,charlotte

There is a very logical reason that people think these subjects are out of their mind – it is called “SLOW TORTURE”. There used to be a method of torture that the Chinese used – I know it by the name of the Water Torture. They took a person, tied them down, so they couldn’t move, laid them on their back and let water drop on the bridge of their nose (right between their eyes), and these people went crazy, and they didn’t even have a unexplainable/uncureable disease.
I was put through a form of torture when I was bitten by the Brown Reculse/Fiddle Back Spider which is VERY PoSOINOUS. And, I was bitten MANY times over a period of approximately 6 months. It got to the point that I could be driving the automobile, and feel something in my hair, and I would turn the steering wheel loose and beat myself in the head – trying to kill the spider that I thought was there. For years afterward, I could not sleep in my bed because I found that the spiders were nesting under my bed and biting me while I was sleeping; and, I would beat and stomp my clothes, gloves, etc., in order to kill any spider that might be in them before putting them on my person. If you are interested in this testimony, you can find it on the web-site: http://godsworldwideministry.com.
Since I went through a slow form of torture, I understand what it is like (to some degree), and I truly hope that these infected people find help. May God have mercy upon anyone who takes their stories lightly – especially those who can help if only they would take the time and mke an effort.
I plead with all Christians to pray diligently for God to spare these people.
NOTE: I am not at all sure that the parasite didn’t come from some sort of biogenetically modified foods that we have been fed since the early 1970’s without our knowledge… However, that is just my thoughts, I have no proof…
May God give you peace of mind, and may He send someone with the knowledge to help in lieu of calling you crazy because of their own lack of knowledge.
Prayers for you all,
Minister Mary

I am a big fan of a website called Brian’s Dreams. He says he is not a psychic, but just has ‘dreams’. I was reading on his website for his dreams in the month of June for 2008 and he had a ‘dream’ about this disease- I think. He says it is a parasite, a worm, as he describes it. Here are Brian Ladd’s exact words: “pulling worms from my arm — cold water is no more — new parasite worm will kill humans, will eat thru skin, stop the heart, here, worms live and breed in human blood vessels – can grow in human blood”…I have been having dreams about me pulling worms from my arm for sometime now, and now I think I’m pretty sure that this is how it’s going to happen. I realize that most will say it’s impossible for this to happen, but I think it will.”

I wholeheartedly feel for those who have to go through this horrible disease and I ask: Has anyone tried using Swedish Bitters? If you google “Swedish Bitters” you will read the different stories where Swedish Bitters has been successful! My prayers are with all of you.

This is all too much…A few years ago, I woke uo with a sore big toe on my right foot. It hurt quite badly and when I got tweezers to examine it(thinking it was a splinter), I pulled a thick black hair from it…the extraction was also painful as the hair was quite deep with just the tip outside my skin. I sat there afterwards, completely confused wondering how a hair got stuck in my toe- never imagining that the hair had come from inside…It hasn’t happened since, but I keep thinking that it will. I have no noticeable sores or lesions, but I get very itchy on my feet, and sometimes scratch until I break the skin. I first heard about this disorder three nights ago when I rented the movie “The Invasion” with Nichole Kidman. In the bonus features, there is a segment on this disorder.
I feel so horrible for everyone who is suffering on a daily basis. It only happened to me once and I have been dwelling upon it since.

THIS DISEASE IS VERY REAL….IT STARTED WITH ME ON A FAMILY VACATION TO THE BEACH IN 2006. FOR MY WHOLE LIFE I HAVE BEEN WHAT I CONSIDER HEALTHY. I NOTICED ONE MORNING THAT I HAD (2) PIMPLE LIKE BUMPS AT MY JAW-LINE TOWARDS MY CHIN ON THE LEFT SIDE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A DERMATOLOGIST MY WHOLE LIFE AND I WAS 34 AT THE TIME. MY HUSBAND SAID IT LOOKED TO HIM LIKE UNDER THE SKIN BUMPS THAT WOULD GO AWAY IN A FEW DAYS CONSIDERING WE WERE AT THE BEACH AND SALT WATER FROM THE OCEAN SEEMS TO HELP WITH HEAL CUTS, RASHES, EXC…. WELL HERE I AM ALMOST THREE YEARS LATER AND THE SAME BUMPS COME AND GO AND ARE NOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY JAW-LINE AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN 7 DIFFERENT DERMATOLOGIST AND AFTER NO RESOLUTION….A PSYCHIATRIST WHO TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT IMAGINING THIS AND THAT IT WAS INDEED REAL. HE COULD TELL FROM THE LESIONS THAT THE INFLAMMATION WAS FROM UNDER THE SKIN AND THAT THE LESIONS ON MY FACE WERE NOT SELF INFLICTED AS THE DERMATOLOGIST STATED. SO AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS AND ABOUT $5,000.00 SPENT ON MEDICATIONS, DR. BILL’S, AND EVEN SOME HOME REMEDIES THERE IS NO RELEIF. I JUST PRAY THAT THE CDC CAN FIND A CURE:)
November 12th, 2008 at 3:34 am
It is real, real and I pray CDC and the Gov. find what it is and the cure, I called it “the nothing red” it is like millions of little red dots moving under your skin, it is passing to every one in contact with an infected person just by been around, it goes thru the air and gets to peolpe and animals. comments @ jorge_coronado0064@yahoo.com

my husband and I have suffered this disease/syndrome/infestation??? for just over 3 years. I researched and researched; we bought a quality microscope; went through the same bs that all morgellons sufferers endure at the hands of the medical profession. we recently had an article in our local free newspaper and in the first week we have been contacted by three people who suffer this and were overwhelmed to find that they are not alone. we live in a rural area. I hope to set up an Australian Morgellons forum. please comment here if you would be interested in such a place where Australian sufferers can pool information, treatments, etc.
We need to find doctors and researchers in Australia who are interested in finding the answers. We have written to the Dept of Health with no interest but will write again as recognition has happened since we first wrote to them.
zinc with magnesium, zinc & castor oil creme, coal tar shampoo, condies crystals bath, and a multitude of other things. I am as many chemically intolerant and tried to find a natural cure/control – Wormwood Complex I felt worked well but it cannot be taken continuously for months on end. Currently we take mebenzadole (OTC worming tablets) – we take these for three days each month as well as twice daily doses of itraconazole. The last of these medications was recommended by an associate in the USA who has had direct involvement with treatment/research of this disease. He will help by passing on recent progress and any advice he can. we tried albenzadole and weirdly this didn’t seem to be as effective as the OTC mebenzadole… but this is a weird disease!

I struggled with this disease for nearly three years from 2000 to 2003, I have a college eductaion and was baffled at how I was treated by doctors, and the health care industry as a whole. I remember when a dermatologist asked if he could cut a sample of one of my legions on my right hand for a biopsy, I said “you can take the arm at the elbow if you think that will stop it.” and I meant it. I was stressed out and depressed. My disease wasn’t “itchy”, but it was VERY painful.
. It really is that weird.
I contemplated suicide, then legions began froming on my 1year old son, and I had to do something “other than kill myslef”. I looked up my old college biology professor and borrowed a good microscope and had to do my own discovery. The time I spent, nearly cost me my marriage, it did cost me my job and many friends. I can’t go into specifics about what I found (most wouldn’t believe me anyway
The first thing that “worked” was I quit taking hot showers. IT likes to be covered and IT likes heat. I started to live a lifestyle that boosts the immune system; eating right, exercise, sleeping 8 hours a night etc…
The second thing I had to do was quit “believing” in it. The sores, fibers, pain were all very real, but once I stopped “believing” in them, they began to clear up.
My prayers go out to anyone suffering from this.
Watch “A beautiful mind” and “the matrix” and stop believing in IT.
That is what worked for me. ItsTrue
November 21st, 2008 at 5:56 pm
The pictures on this page show “exactly” what I was infected with.
Especially “Fibers removed from same lip lesions shown at 60x.” I know that little guy well.
It turned out the “hot showers” and other “treatments” I tried were damaging my skin just enough to give the infection “opportunity”. I took cold showers only for a couple of weeks (NO OTHER TREATMENTS) and my condition improved and after about a month to point that the pain began to subside and I could stop obsessing about IT. Then I saw the movie “a beautiful mind”, and since most of my “evidence” proved that IT couldn’t possibly be “real”, I stoped giving it my “energy” and I have been FREE 5 years now…PRAISE GOD

The phenomenon of “Morgellons” (I’ll refer to it as “M” from this point on)is obviously bizarre and terrifying. The M crisis is a weight on my heart and mind, truly.
The main struggle (for me) at this juncture is the utter lack of knowledge regarding the origin, biology, and a definitive compilation of symtoms. This set of problems carries with it the question of WHY there has been such a lag in research development by the Center of Disease Control (CDC). The widespread accounts provided by M suffers concerning their Doctor’s disbelief and/or diagnosis of some psychosis is suspicious. I do not wish to address any kind of Conspiracy Theory yet.I want to offer some advice/guidelilnes to those whose post or will post comments to this or any Morgellons related site:
1. Pay attention to the integrity (by this I mean, spelling, grammar,etc.) of your posts! I know this may seem petty and unimportant, but please realize that your credibility is important!
Example: If I write, “Believe me, I’m a docotor and I know what I am talking about, I’m not stoopid!” How would you perceive me? More importantly, how would your perception have changed if I had spelt those words correctly? I hope my point is clear here.
2. If you make a claim, you have GOT to back it somehow if you expect anyone to take you remotely seriously.
Example:J. Coronado states above that,”it is passing to every one in contact with an infected person just by been around, it goes thru the air and gets to peolpe and animals.” That is a strong statement, regardless of the gram. errors. Welcome new (even valid) information? Of course, but why should I believe you? If Coronado had sited his source, his comment would have held some validity. Without it, it has none.
3.As the M issue becomes more and more publicized, it will probably become increasingly difficult to sift through all of the M accounts on the internet and decipher whether or not they’re genuine or fabrications. Example: So, Minister Mary, how many times WERE you bitten by brown recluses over the course of six months as you claim to have been? You must have a lot of scarring from the flesh-eating quality the brown recluse’s venom has on the body! {I do apologize if i am just misunderstanding this post but i must admit that if I am, I do not see how!}

I tried b3 (niacin) 100mg per day and a good multivitimn and an antifungal terbinafine 250mg per day. My skin is 75% better healing over. Can’t hurt to try

I wholeheartedly agree with Jaclyn above regarding credibility/intelligibility of postings. If we even hope to be taken seriously, we must endeavor to show researchers our soundness of mind. That said, I am a 36-year-old female suffering since 2006 with what I’m convinced is Morgellons. (Self-diagnosed, of course.) My symptoms began with a strange sensation in my fingertips and on my upper abdomen. I looked closely at these areas of my body in a well-lit area of my home. What I found was my worst nightmare manifested. As my daughter, who was sitting next to me at the time, and I looked, we saw small black worm-like “things”, for lack of more intelligent words, weaving in and out of our fingertips. My daughter did not experience this anywhere except her fingertips, but I had these worm-like “things” going in and out of my upper abdomen and the pads of my toes as well. Of course we panicked, as I suspect anyone would have done, and immediately showed my husband. He saw them also. I say with absolute certitude that we are NOT delusional. My daughter (who was 11 at the time) and I showered with the hottest water we could tolerate. The nightmare continued and escalated. As we stood in the near-scalding water, LONG dark, soft hair-like “things” began exiting through our skin. The bottoms of our feet, our fingertips, and my abdomen excreted these strange horrifying “things” (I hate to keep using this non-descriptive word over and over, but I can think of no other!) They were no longer moving, they appeared “dead”. Then the REALLY strange symptoms began. Shortly after this, we started noticing what at first appeared to be long, thick pieces of lint on our clothing, coming off unbroken skin, and oddly enough, out of our noses when we breathed. It appears to be airborne- with our case anyway. I used a lint roller to collect samples of these fibers to show my doctor(s). I also noticed that I was producing and shedding black- and some light brown- specks. Both the specks and the fibers seem to appear spontaneously! As I said, I have completely unbroken skin. (I am so very sorry for all of you afflicted with lesions!) I first went to an infectious disease specialist who, even though he plainly saw the fibers and specks, admitted that he could offer me no clear diagnosis. At least he showed me sympathy and acknowledgment of my symptoms, and made a real effort to help me. He prescribed me antibiotics, antihistamines, anti-fungals, antipsychotics,(every “anti” he could think of), oral steroids, topical steroid creams, so on and so forth. None of these helped. He referred me on to a dermatologist, who practically laughed me out of her office, and who referred me to a psychiatrist. I’d taken my samples of specks and fibers to the dermatologist who (supposedly) sent them to a lab. She said the results came back as “normal skin”. It was clearly anything but normal skin. Something I’ve noticed in my case that I haven’t heard so far in other postings/publications: in addition to these strange lint-like fibers, I am producing what looks like straight, thick, short hairs. These seem to just spontaneously appear, and they look almost like a short piece of hair that could have been cut from a person’s head. ALMOST. These “hairs” are NOT human hairs. They are not pliable as human hair is. And they grow on their own. I am terrified. It’s as if some alien bacteria has invaded my home and infected my family. I’ve noticed that when I clean my floors and other hard surfaces in my home with ammonia-based products, such as Fantastik, or bleach, that these short “hairs” AND the lint-like fibers seem to multiply rapidly. AND the short “hairs” grow longer. I’ve also found that nearly any type of alcohol (stearyl, cetearyl, isopropyl, etc.) causes these fibers to appear and multiply rapidly. I’ve found that by avoiding – and this is difficult to do – products (such as hair and body products) containing these types of alcohol, it’s helping to keep down the amount of fibers my body is producing. This is so strange, I know, but everything about this phenomenon is strange, isn’t it? I feel like I’m an actress in a bad B-movie. A few other things I’d like to add regarding my symptoms: my teeth are disintegrating. I’ve had 8 pulled in the past year & 1/2. On top of what I believe to be Morgellons, I have Systemic Lupus. This causes many of the same symptoms that I’ve heard described by others, such as the fatigue and connective tissue pain (fibromyalgia also). But I’ve suffered these symptoms to a MUCH greater degree since contracting Morgellons. Admittedly, it’s sometimes difficult for me to differentiate symptoms caused by my lupus from morgellons symptoms (fatigue and body pain). However, I maintain my opinion that morgellons is the cause of these mysterious fibers and “hairs”, and the sometimes “crawly” feeling on my skin. And that I certainly do NOT suffer delusional parasitosis. I’m continuing to research any information available, as well as experimenting on my own with products and environmental factors. My e-mail is honeybeesrule@live.com if anyone would like to contact me and share any pertinent information regarding your own case. I’d certainly welcome ANY helpful advice/information, and will be glad to share my findings. There’s much more to my case than what I’ve included here. There’s just too much to go over in this posting.
I pray for healing, strength and courage for all of us fighting this much-debated and too-long-ignored illness, and I pray that research will find us some answers and treatment soon. God bless all!

Seasons Greetings!
I want to keep this posting short, as I have…
Dammit.
It took me 8 minutes (which is a long time to stare at a screen) to try to finish that sentence.
NOT because I have limited mental capabilities, or because I am so busy inspecting my body for proof of my symptoms. Nor is my hesitation the result of sheer exhaustion (and pollution) of body and mind. (A common side effect to the act of staying up all hours with a bucket of bleach and a scrub brush.)
It is BECAUSE of the fact that all of those reasons would have been applicable a few years ago.
And HOW does one say – in a few short words – I UNDERSTAND. I BELIEVE YOU. THIS IS REAL.
How can I share my experience with you all, and at the same time try not to re-live it by going over all the specifics necessary to validate my posting here at all?
The experience of this kind of illness varies so greatly from person to person. I searched for months before finding anything at all. And not all of my symptoms have been described by any one person, and vice versa, but I have had extensive communication with many others and all that matters is this:
WHATEVER IT IS, IT MANIFESTS ITSELF DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT HOSTS, AND IS UNDETECTABLE BY CURRENT MEANS OF SCREENING BY DOCTORS.
Whether anyone chooses to believe their own eyes? Their own family/friends/spouse? That is a completely separate travesty; the pain of which is almost unendurable to even the strongest of us.
Were it not for my SOUNDNESS of mind, my STRENGTH of will, and my INTELLIGENCE, I would never have gotten through this ordeal. And I was the first (but far from the last) to question these things.
I AM ALMOST ENTIRELY SYMPTOM FREE NOW.
Here’s what worked for me:
I moved. And when I say I moved, I, MYSELF, WITH NO POSSESSIONS, moved across the country.
I left the few things that i couldn’t possibly throw away (photos, a few family heirlooms) in the care of a dear friend, who sent them to me 2 years later. The contents of these two boxes are in my new home and have not affected me.
I stopped scrubbing and slathering and ingesting. I stopped looking. I made myself stop. To save myself from total insanity I simply hid my psyche from harm. It was nowhere near easy, but none of what I have said so far was. It is SIMPLE. DRASTIC. But most people will choose not to do what I did. I know, because I fought this illness 24-7 for too long before I did what I did.
Here is the 3rd thing which may sound crazy or drastic, but is EASY and PAINLESS.
I made it my full time job to boil water and drink it, either with green tea or with lemon.
And I urinated in a glass jug.
Then, I dumped the urine in my bathwater and soaked in it for an hour.
If I sound crazy, well, Google URINE THERAPY and learn about it.
I’m not proposing any conspiracy theory on the part of the medical profession, but simple economics would easily explain why the FREE, NATURAL, NON-PATENTED alternative might not be suggested by physicians.
That, and the fact that Western Medicine is almost as young as Psychology. And our depenency on these practices, as a whole, for diagnosis, treatment, or (even moral support) has gotten those of us suffering nowhere. And that’s if you’re lucky enough not to grab the title of DOP along the way.
I’m not trying to criticize any profession or any group. God knows I can empathize with ANYONE choosing to remain ignorant of this NIGHTMARE, either consciously OR unconsciously. But the fact remains, we are suffering, and WE MUST HELP OURSELVES, AND EACH OTHER.
Ah, well. So much for my plan of keeping this short..
I hope this reaches someone, and helps them help themselves. That’s all.
Remember: If you feel alone in this nightmare, you are not. You possess a strength that others could never imagine. To even comprehend this affliction requires an evolved mind and spirit. To survive it-
that is heroic.
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Naomi,
Season’s greetings to you! It was so wonderful to read your posting. I didn’t include this in my post above, but I did almost the very thing you did. I moved, taking with me only my most precious belongings (wedding album, pics of my children,etc.). My husband and I threw out every article of clothing, bedding, furniture, – everything we owned. Even our car. Which leads me to tell what I found out from a doctor friend of the family. I’m a little hesitant to even mention it, as it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but when you really think about it, you realize that if there really is some kind of conspiracy cover-up happening, your very life could be endangered if you’ve stumbled onto the truth and expose it. That said, I mentioned above that my teeth are disintegrating. Rapidly. I have been seeing the same dentist since I was six. He’s a friend of my family, and he happens to know someone at the CDC. A “higher-up”. I won’t mention a name, as I’ve been asked to maintain his anonymity (I realize this affects credibility, but this cannot be helped). My story begins this way: My husband and I bought a used car, which we learned via Carfax had come from an auction in Florida. About the third day we had the car, I noticed that when I got into it, I got the sensation in my feet that there were swarms of ants on my feet, crawling and stinging. I’d take my shoes and socks off, and there’d be little black specks in between my toes. Lots of them. Over the next few days, that sensation spread up my legs, and my hands and face began stinging as well. Inside our apartment, I began to notice changes too. My husband, daughter and I felt run-down, and our eyes and sinuses were irritated. As the days and weeks passed, summer arrived, and we noticed that we had the beginnings of a flea problem, even though our two jack russell terriers are indoor dogs. I bought two flea-bombs, covered our furniture, and we took the dogs out riding in the car while the pesticide fumigated the apartment. Our dogs whined the entire ride, not typical for them. When we arrived back home, we immediately realized that something wasn’t right. We started itching, with all of us feeling like there were little bugs hopping up our calves from the floor. I set about scrubbing our entire place down at once. It was from this point that my above-mentioned story began. My daughter and I felt and saw the tiny, black worm-like threads quickly popping in and out of our fingertips and toes. After a couple of days of cleaning, constantly scrubbing ourselves until our skin practically CAME OFF, we called a carpet-cleaning company who also did air-duct sterilization. The process was called a ‘Biowash’. The company owner told me that what I was describing sounded like a biohazardous situation, that our family needed to vacate the home immediately, and that IF they could get any of their employees to handle the situation, they’d have to come out with biohazard suits on, the works. Needless to say, we were scared out of our minds. We took our dogs, packed a few clothes, and left. We spent weeks moving from one extended-stay hotel to the next. The reason for that being that wherever we went, our symptoms followed. I was affected moreso than any of our family because of my existing autoimmune disease, Systemic Lupus. I could walk up to a countertop or sink and just watch as black fibers appeared out of thin air and covered the surfaces. I spent hours and hours slathering hand sanitizer all over myself, and rolling my clothes off with a lint roller, obsessing over what I saw. And I was vomiting continuously. My mother wondered if what was happening might have been something from our dogs. As much as I wanted to adamantly deny that, I went to our veterinarian and talked with her, asking tons of questions and describing in detail our symptoms. She said that she’d never in all her years of practice seen or heard of anything like this in an animal or its owner. BUT SHE HAD SEEN A SEGMENT ON A NEWS SHOW (I think it was 20/20? I can’t remember off the top of my head) WHERE A WOMAN DESCRIBED FIBERS COMING OUT OF HER SKIN!! This is where my Morgellons quest began. When I noticed that my teeth had begun to erode, I wondered, “Could this possibly be related to Morgellons?”. Cue the dentist. I told him what horrors we were experiencing, with the confidence that he wouldn’t think I was losing my mind, as he’d known me since childhood. He took notes, and called his friend at the CDC. This is what was relayed to me:
At that time, there were only a precious few scientists/doctors at the CDC investigating Morgellons. What he had heard was that it appeared to have originated in the ‘glades in Fla. and in the marshy areas of California. At that time there were suspicions that bacteria or fungi had spawned from these areas, and when these areas were treated with pesticides to keep down insects, these bacteria and/or fungi reacted with the chemicals and possibly mutated, causing a strange, unknown organism to develop. People who came and went through these areas had picked up the bacteria/fungus and taken it with them, thus spreading it wherever they went.
This info. validated my theories that A: Our infection had come from our car (from FLORIDA as I mentioned earlier) and B: Our flea-bomb pesticide caused the radical spread inside our home. My question is, who was responsible for the pesticide treatments in these areas? I’m not too familiar with how each state handles getting things like that done. Is it government? I would think so, wouldn’t you? Could this be why research seems to be going just a LEEETLE bit TOO
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Sorry about the cut-off!
TOO slow?? As I said, I don’t want to hastily come off sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but this is beginning to make some sense to me. (Now if anything happens to me in the near future, heh-heh…..) All kidding aside, does this explanation in any way relate to ANYTHING any of you have heard so far?
Naomi, as I said, when I read your posting I felt such a positive wash of emotion that I couldn’t help responding with my post here. I too have spent so many hours obsessing and scrubbing and crying and worrying that it’s almost done me in. Despite my family’s support and reassurances that I am a sane, intelligent person, I can’t help but question my abilities to rationalize this situation and get through it day by day. I was so, so fortunate to be able to do what I did, just leaving everything behind and starting anew. Well, I say “anew”. We still haven’t been able to replace all the things we got rid of. I felt so horrible about the car. This is what happened: We called the dealership, which happened to be a buy-here pay-here dealership, and spoke with the owner. We explained what had happened, and asked what could be done about A: Destroying the car, and B: Putting us in another car. (The place was Car Corner in Acworth, Ga. by the way.) We were so disappointed and angry to learn that the owner would not in any way do anything to accomplish either of those things. We had to let the car be repossessed, as our finances wouldn’t allow us to keep that car and get another. We thought about just destroying it ourselves, but the legal ramifications stopped us. It tore at our consciences knowing that some other unknowing family would eventually end up with that car. It still does. I don’t imagine most families could do what we did, uprooting ourselves and losing our possessions. We were so blessed. The very month that we decided to do that, God blessed my husband with a high-paying second job, which in one month covered the cost of breaking our lease, a down-payment on another car, buying the essentials such as beds, some clothes, etc. Had it not been for the blessing of that second job, I shudder to think what shape we’d be in now, health-wise. It was being able to do that that saved us. I remained deathly ill for almost a year after we left that apartment behind. I’ve recovered most of the way, but due to my Lupus, the Morgellons illness still affects me more than it does the rest of my family.
As Naomi said, this horrific illness affects each host differently, making it that much more difficult for researchers and doctors to get a good bead on how to treat it. What helps one may not help another. It is the support of our loved ones that helps the most at this point, if you are blessed enough to have loved ones with an “evolved mind”, who are willing to validate your condition. God, it’s my prayer that every sufferer will have that. This is such a cruel situation, causing such self-doubt, causing rifts between families and friends, preying on our minds every second of every day. As much as I try not to focus on it, trying to keep the ‘ignorance is bliss’ frame of mind, it just gets to me sometimes, as I’m sure it does all of you. The more information we can share with one another, no matter how trivial we think it is, the more helpful it is. Even if your story only reaches one other person and touches their heart, it’s worth a little embarrassment. That’s my opinion, anyway. Again, my prayers are with all of you fellow survivors. Happy holidays to everyone and your families!

I wanted to make a few statements. I do not have Morgellons, just so you know, but I’ve taken an interest in it. I read the wikipedia listing for Morgellons, and I’ve read similar unsympathetic sources elsewhere.
I’ve lived most of my life in the Ozarks of North Arkansas. I’ve been exposed to just about every possible natural itching agent known to man. Poison Ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, etc. all grows rampant here. I’ve had it all. I’ve had chiggers every year of my life for near 40 years. I’ve had every form of tick known to man, and had them in every imaginable place. In college I had a diagnosed case of scabbies (horrible, horrible condition). I’ve had body lice, head lice, etc.
All these things and more. I’ve worked with insulation, worked in saw mills, worked around high powered electrical lines. I worked in the deep woods for more than a decade. With all the wounds, all the infections, all the itches and scratches I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SORT OF FIBERS UNDER MY SKIN, NOR PROTRUDING FROM MY SKIN!
Listen, my number one cure for chiggers? Carpet burns. I lay on the floor, get my ankle situated in the perfect angle, then let it rip across the carpet so that the friction burns off the portion of infected skin. Me and my two brother have been doing this for decades. It sounds idiotic, but only to those who have never had chiggers. Listen, I tell you, I HAVE NEVER HAD CARPET FIBERS GET MIXED IN WITH MY SKIN! NEVER!
So, you see? If these people have fibers under their skin it is from some sort of infection I cannot conceive of. It is not possible that these people are simple getting fibers from their clothing. Okay, I concede, maybe 1% or 2% of the cases, but no way this many people. There is something new going on. Something bizarre and deeply concerning. All who suffer from this affliction take hope, be strong, keeping talking and sharing and taking photographs. Keep hounding the press and the medical “doctors” (should I say undoctors?).
Morgellons is simply one of the initial new infestations to come. Let us keep our eyes open for more to come. A storm is coming.
December 5th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Like Naomi and SPerry above, I also lost everything to this illness. I still don’t think anyone has gotten my diagnosis right, and I don’t acknowledge to anyone anymore that there is a problem. Following the advice of a doctor, we had our home inspected and found 19 different types of toxic mold in Dayton, Texas. I lost husband, home, and almost my mind. This started for me in Dec 2006 as what we thought was scabies. I worked as an accountant in nursing homes, so it wasn’t hard to believe that I could get exposed. 2 treatments within 2 months, and the itching, crawling feeling still would not go away. Thats when I remembered how good Tea Tree shampoo felt in my tub years before when I was pregnant. This time it resulted in what the doctors called 2nd and 3rd degree burns down the backs of my legs and across my abdomen. What it felt like was a million ants moving just under the skin. I still have the scars and they are web shaped. The hair that I lost on my head (had silver-dollar size places completely smooth) has grown back, but I still have a mixture of textures, prickly acne where my hair touches my face, and get nodules that last for days on my neck and head that eventually ooze and burst.
For all you doctors who say that these wounds are self-inflicted – up until this started in Dec 2006, I had 20-20 vision. I had to start wearing reading glasses almost immediately. Two days ago, I went to have my eyes checked. I’m 44 years old and have cataracts now! This is a slow painful death. I’ve been told it’s all in my head, that I am just looking for attention, that I just want to be sick. I have gone to dermatologists that will not even examine me a second time.
Due to losing everything, I moved to Iowa and I have to say, I’ve done much better in the cold.
I sure wish that I could have found this site when this all started for me. Maybe I would still have my husband, whom I loved dearly, but he just couldn’t deal with this condition.
December 5th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
One more thing. The year before all this happened, I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. I had to have part of my muscle surgically removed and the incision packed each day for a week. Just trying to find a common thread.

http://911liarsexposed.blogspot.com/2008/08/agrobacterium-morgellons-disease-gm.html This will tell you what it is you do have and how you became infected. What tx works: 2 tabs oregano oil, 2 tabs pomegrante twice a day, (silver biotics 2 teasp twice a day, para rid 1 tablespoon daily, para sweep 1 tablespoon daily these were purchaced at GNC)I am a nurse and so is my sister who is infected. We reasearched everything…so far morgellons has not reappeared. I have nothing to gain by this, but we will all need to be as heavily armed as possible to treat ourselves. Read the blog I included, check out web pages for Professor Vitaly Citovsky/biochemest &cell biology @ Stony Brook University in N.Y.
December 6th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
In response to SPerry’s post: Yup. Makes sense. I’ve done a lot of research into the pesticide issue, and it is a FACT that genetically modified nematodes and other bio-technically engineered pesticides have been in use in this country for quite some time.
Here’s a freaky concept: BT COTTON. In order to keep the pests off of the cotton, the nematode that is poisonous to insects which destroy the cotton were genetically modified and actually assimilated into the BT cotton plant itself! So here we have a cotton “plant” that is actually part poisonous nematode. No kidding. This stuff is not science fiction anymore, folks. It’s happening.
I, too, had all kinds of moral dilemmas with the idea of anyone getting infected from my stuff. Or from the place I used to live. I destroyed everything I could, and it took effort. Unfortunately, I couldn’t burn down the building I rented a place in, but I made such a fuss with the department of health that they finally had inspectors in who found black mold, which is enough to justify a lot of my symptoms.
The toxic mold was the only justification I ever got for what I was experiencing. People can look it up online, it’s visible, the CDC admits it can cause severe damage, Doctors know about it, so therefore, I FINALLY had something to validate me. I have given up trying to explain the rest of it to anyone. I never mention morgellons, or any of this stuff to anyone I know. It just isn’t worth it.
But I know what I went through was something more than organic. I just KNOW. I wasn’t hallucinating, or having phantom feelings or whatever the hell people want to say. I don’t assume to know WHAT it is, but I think who’s REALLY crazy are the people who assume to know what it ISNT. People can bury their heads in the sand all they want, but even that sand has radioactive residue and Lord knows what else in it.
I don’t think we all have the same thing. I think there have been so many batches of scary stuff thrown out of labs for so long in so many places, not even the scientists creating this stuff knew what the long term consequences would be.
I don’t think we can expect the government or the armed forces or any biotech company to release a statement about any of this any time soon. Certainly not while we can be called crazy so easily
That’s why we have to help each other.
Oh, and yeah, I was bit by a black widow spider less than a year before this started. From what I understand, brown recluse are much worse.
I think there are a number of things responsible for a number of symptoms, and as I have said, the

I have Morgellons. I also was bit by a brown recluse spider. I know this because when I unpacked from a trip to the Bahamas, the dead spider was among my laundry. I looked up the spider on the internet, by the legs being white in the front and dark in the back, otherwise I wouldnt know one spider from the next.
Since this nightmare began, I stuck to the fact that the bite I got on the back, that never went away, and the tons of sores to start appearing elsewhere on my skin, all began with that bite.
Long story short, I heard about this Morgellons, and it is more and more being explained by all you other people. Fibers and all…..
I am from Timmins, Ontario Canada……and cannot find anyone from Canada on the internet with Morgellons.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN, A FEW OF US HAVE BEEN BIT BY A BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER.
That is a big big big certainty to me that the Spider and our Morgellons must have something to it.
My email address is benegreeneyes@hotmail.com
Looking at skin sores on this computer lead me to the brown recluse, then other more similar sores lead me to Morgellons…the FIBERS
Cold, Sick, and scared, up here in Timmins

Does anyone know what the outcome of this illness is? I mean, do you eventually die, and if so, how? The reason why I am asking is because if it IS an environmental or bioligal outbreak, then its going to run rampant until ALL of us are infected. Some of you mentioned that it can be contracted and that it has spread to your families. Wouldn’t you think there would be nationwide alert of this if it spreads so quickly? I mean, it seems almost too calculated.. supposedly orignated in California and Florida.. well, where does that leave everyone else in the united states? Ok, so I am paranoid. I’ve heard that there will possibly be an act of bioloical terroism in the states, and I’m trying to figure out if this is something that will affect us all. I have young children and am trying to learn as much as I can about this disease. I don’t believe I have this disease, but I do suffer from a severe case of eczema, which causes rashes and intense itching. I sometimes get bumps on my face, which I’ve dismissed as adult acne, although, after reading this, I’m starting to get really worried. Can someone tell me how this disease first starts?

I am thankful for every ones contribution to this site the only way to begin to beat it is to recognize that you have it and then talk about it.
My experimental treatment so far:
Vitamin tablets Inner Health,
Omega 3 Natural Fish Oil,
vitamin C tablet with added calcium, magnesium & Zinc,&
Multi-vitamin mineral & anti-oxidant with herbs I take one a day
I also rub lemon juice on the problem spots.
It is early days but it seems to be drawing them out.

Hi sisters and brothers in despair,
Strange that so far that no European people seemed to take part in this discussion.
I am german and got my Morgellons manifestations in June 2006 on a greek island. Five bulbs on my neck like a necklace, all big and red and hot with white fibres waving hallo. So told me my neighbour’s daughter – how could I see them in my neck? (This seemed to be known in the area but not be talked about.) Weakness, not being able to walk straight ahead, only in curves like a snail, but not so rapid! Doctors..and in Greece and in Germany: simple agricultural ones (2) and dermatologists (3) and in university clinics (4) and tropical clinics (1) – no need to tell you what happens. “Would you now leave, we’ve got other people waiting outside.” (seriously ill!)
I shurely infected my mother (94) who rubbed my back itches with lotion. I think that my father (96) might be infected too, maybe for a longer time than I am. He has worked as an veterinary microbiologist and was producing vaccinations in the early 50ies and later on researching for unknown deseases like “VIBRIONES” and I remember him since at least 30 years coughing badly * and scratching his had while reading. (The same do I when I have the sensation that Ms are crawling in my hair…)
In July2006 I came back to town to live with my parents in their house to help them. So I do not know where the infection really started. Might be that you’re infected and some day when you are in ‘bad/right condition’ – stress, fear, anger, lack of vitamines, too much ouzo – the symptoms will appear.
My school english is 40 years ago, I’ve no dictionary, so I hope you will understand what I’m trying to tell.
I’m a teacher for pupils from 16 years on and I the more I read and know about Ms and so on, the more I am scared about if Ms really spreads that easily. I feel like having to go away from here and school to where the desease probably came from so not to infect nobody over here. Ok, if Ms spreads that easily and no one of the officials takes care of them, we will soon have an epidemic manifestation. Earth is greeting Mars.
Ok, I just reviewed the blog to look for the joke and did not find it. So:
Earth and Mars are meeting.
Mars: “How are you?”
Earth:”No good at all.”
Mars: “What’s going on?”
Earth:”An infection called ‘mankind’.”
Mars: “Don’t bother, it will soon be over.”
Sorry. But I really think that we did so much harm to mother nature that we should not be too astonished of what we are getting back.
Let me explain: I own a house on that greek island on a delta beach. There’s a river coming down in winter and in summer there is water standing in a ’swamp’ breeding mosquitos. People fight them with ‘chemical wapons’ . They carry them on their back and pump. (Also they are protecting their olive trees with chemical means spread also by aeroplanes.) But there are still mosquitoes! Did these animals not probably perhaps change DNS and so on in the meanwhile to protect themselves, hiding away?
I also suppose that dogs (and other animals like chickens too) might be involved. Several little dogs died from one day to another without looking sick, the only one which survived was the one I went to friends to a village on the mountainside above.
* I also brought back from this island two times a bad cough. The sputum which struggles hard not to be spied out shows structures which are rapidly growing and spreading and if I imagine what is going on in my body I think —–
Ok, you know what I am thinking about. The ‘Ms beings’ I saw in the – now german translation – ‘dark-field-microscope’ in my blood will travel with this blood wherever they want to. And what will they do there?I imagine the worst. So:
Dear Ms, do what you want and need to do. I would prefer to live some other years to enjoy my greek island, so let us cooperate. Maybe you understand that if you destroy my body you will have to look for another one. So if you were less ‘beings’ and would not do so much harm to me, you could longer exist in me like your host. For this sake I will try to make my blood a little bit less att5ractive for you – vitamines, more ozon, less ouzo, better digestigation and so on.
This is a public promise – no war, just coexistence, if possible.
Wait and see.
And re-reading I understand that I am starting a war ’survival of the fittest’, Ms vs Ms and Ms vs me. So I abgree that we should pray. So with the help of the archangels Michael and Raffael.
I’ll light some candles for us all.
This blog was very helpful for me, thank you all.

Hello Slim,
I tried the 2 part red wine & 1 part hydrogen peroxide with great success the fibres popped out.
Along with the daily vitamin supplements
Omega 3 natural fish oil
Berocca every day B group with vitamin C added calcium, magnesium & zinc (does not contain sugar, caffeine or artificial stimulants) not the one you add to water as it contains aspartame which makes the bubbles.
Woman’s Multi Mega Potency multivitamin
Inner Health plus
My life has improved now I know what the problem is after 5 years of not realizing what I was dealing with. Lets hope it will eventually go away for good.
Thank you for your time and help.
Love & Light Loraine

Judey Bush posted this website: http://911liarsexposed.blogspot.com/2008/08/agrobacterium-morgellons-disease-gm.html Excellent source!!! There is a lot of complicated genetic information here, but also info for the rest of us. Every person suspected of Morgellon’s tested positive for presence of agrobacterium, which causes crown gall in plants and is widely used in the creation of genetically modified food crops. No one in the control group did. The subjects almost uniformly tested positive for lyme disease as well, leading to a suspicion that the disease may be tick transmitted. Perhaps spiders can transmit it as well?

Hi there, I would just like to explain my symptoms firstly,
It started off as smaal litlle dots, looking like flea bites. It itched alot! And the weirdest is that its just on my left arm.
Ok so firstly there were 2 dots starting to grow, what happens is it makes a little sac with clear fluid, it then bursts and afterwards creates a pink, wet, fibery scab, another sac containg fluid emerges around this scab and bursts and the process has been going on for 2 weeks.
There are now 3 large (about a square inch (3×3cm) of these scabs on my arm and no matter what i try to use be it ointment or antibacterial medication it does not seem to go away. When I said it itched I really mean that I want to go crazy!
Could this be Morgellons disease? o and one vry importent thing I have to mention is that a week before these scabs started to grow, I was in the Kruger National Wildlife Park, could it be a bite or bacterial or is it the Morgellons disease?
Please help me because Im starting to reach desperation and anxious as Im afraid these scabs are going to continue growing!
Please be so kind to mail me at:
dw@topmail.co.za
or contact me

Hi All:
I have never had colored fibers growing out of the lesions I have experienced, but the following may help a bit.
When my lesions errupt it feels like a hive about to appear. There is usually an itching at the site. It comes up looking like a typical whitehead. If I sqeeze it, the white part comes out, but underneath is a small white hard dot. If I put hydrogen peroxide on it, the tiny spot becomes more visible, but the hydrogen peroxide will not cure it. This remedy I discovered: buy in the first aid section of any store the “blister” non latex , multiday bandages. Scrape the lesion a bit with a sterile tool; clean it with hydrogen peroxide. Wait until the HP has long dried. Apply the multiday “blister” bandage. It is extremely important to keep this blister bandage on for as many days as possible. This may be hard, as they are ugly. The bandage allows the body’s own healing fluids to form a bubble (”blister”) around the lesion. After several days, when you remove the blister, if you gently rub the lesion, causing a bit of friction, you will actually SEE these things squiggle out of the lesion. It may take several applications of this method before these things are “killed.” I don’t know what these things are, but it does appear, that if they are deprived of air and light as much as possible, you can kill them.
Call me crazy. I do not care. TRY THIS!!!
January 19th, 2009 at 3:33 am
I’ve every reason to believe I have Morgellon’s disease..
Based upon what I’ve read, the pix I’ve seen & the testimonials..
Submitted by people who describe the same symptoms I’m experiencing..
Contracted what I thought was a case of scabies 6 years ago..
While visiting an island in the Pacific for a month..
Treated the affected area with Lindane when I returned stateside..
But to no avail for I’ve the same sores in the same places since 2002..
Tried sulphur cream, iodine, the peroxide wash, alcohol you name it..
Last month I ingested 2 rounds of oral Ivermectin..
Lucky I’ve a doctor who pretty much prescibes with what I ask for..
Even though I’ve not done an antibiotic in over 20 years I could’ve..
Something like an anti-staph or anti-strep injectable..
I’ve had a syringe filled with penicillin in my fridge for a year..
When I realized I no longer had scabies it didn’t matter..
I just kept treating my skin as if I did convinced it was a parasite..
Brought something back with me off that island but I don’t know what..
No doctor beside my GP will address it..
I’ve been to several dermatologists but they hem & haw..
None of ‘em want to even do their job & take a skin sample..
I have only Medicade so I’ve very little say in the matter..
Saw my GP last week & brought a tiny 60X microscope in with me..
For years I’ve only had a small magnifying glass to examine with..
Radio Shack has a mini-scope selling for $12.50 so I bought it..
What I had found when I peered through this thing blew my mind..
In the past I’ve seen black specks & yes even the wavy white bands..
But never the black rod-like fibers that don’t look like hair..
No one I know has anything even remotely similiar to what I have..
As far as I know I’ve not passed it on to anybody..
I think it is a vector-born disease & I was infected by a mite..
Where I was on the island chickens ran rampant & rats were evident..
Sugar cane was burned driving ‘em out into the neighborhoods..
What may or may not have started out as scabies became this..
Sores that’ll begin feeling like I’ve a splinter in my skin..
I try to remove it the spot gets red I scatch it & it gets bigger..
And redder & it may itch & I treat it with all kinds of topicals..
Sores last upwards of 2 months & when they heal it leaves no scar..
I’ve been covered from head to toe 80 penny-size legions at a time..
Right now I’m on the mend with only my left arm & face affected..
Last Spring my back, legs & ears showed visible signs of it..
Even then the dermatologist wasn’t interested in taking a skin sample..
It looked as if I had the plague with seething wounds all over me..
This is getting long but I was glad to stumble upon this website..
The pix associated with this site show what I’m battling..
Only not as bad but close there’s somthing quite similiar I see..
Morgellon’s has certain characteristics unlike anything else..
Now that I’ve actually seen the black rod-like feature I’m sure..
I want someone who suffers likewise to contact me..
I want to talk seriously about this condition with somebody..
Anyone reading this who can relate & who’d wanna reply it’s..

Hello fellow suffers,
I have had Morgellons for two years. There is now so much information both good and bad, true and false, logical and illogical. The fact is there is no known cure at this time. The symptoms very with different descriptions of what is occurring on the skin, beneath the skin and what emerges from the skin. Dr. Hidegrade Staniger PH.D Industrial Toxicologist and Doctor of integrative medicine gave a very interesting TV interview in 3 parts saying that this problem lives and assembles in the stomach and kidneys:
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/2060/Morgellons_Nanomachines_Invasion_From_Chemtrails_1/
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/2061/Morgellons_Nanomachines_Invasion_From_Chemtrails_2/
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/2062/Morgellons_Nanomachines_Invasion_From_Chemtrails_3/
Others suggest it is a resurgence of a pathogen first seen in the 18th century. I’m sorry I’ve lost the web site address.
Whether Morgellons is a fungus similar to one witch attacks the roots of some shrubs and trees, passed on by insect bites or man made nano technology being sprayed from airplanes, known as Chemtrails, the reality is, Morgellons is here. Thousands are being infected everyday around the world. Until some one of prominence, fame or political influence becomes infected, or when the CDC concludes their testing, we will remain a group of people suffering from an affliction with no cure, and diagnosed as being delusional.
How do I deal with Morgellons?
Hydrogen Peroxide seems to elevate an impending outbreak. Peroxide will also induce an exodus.
Tea Tree Oil stops the itch.
Epson salt baths will cause an exodus, leaving the skin feeling soft for a night.
Taking antioxidants, eating large amounts of garlic, ginkgo for brain fog, drinking apple cider vinegar with antioxidant juices and preyer seen to keep the rashes down – and of course…don’t scratch!
I cut about a 3 or 4 inch strip of clear packaging tape and apply the adhesive side of the tape to my face in order to remove what bites, crawls and emerges from skin of the face or where ever the gooey worms, globs or fiber moving worms emerge. This is a good way to keep specimens and keep track of what is coming out of you.
I pluck and pull out alien hairs.
Wash clothes and sheets daily.
Since I have practiced this regiment, I have had few pimple bumps with black specs out brakes – I rinse my hands with Peroxide at least once a day, applying the Peroxide when and where ever I have an itch. If the itch is intense or the out brake large, I will also apply Tea Tree Oil. The combination of the two works well.
Taking Epson Salt or Peroxide baths or a combination of the two results in an exodus, you’ll be amazed at what you’ll see in the bath water!
What the majority of suffers seem to agree upon is the necessary to build up the immune system. Taking Antioxidants; Vitamin Supplements, specially Vitamin C; eating antioxidant foods and juices, Helps! But in no way a cure.
I have suffered from this horrid affliction! I have been unemployed for three years. I wish this on no one and do everything possible in order to not infect others. From my initial infection to the present day, I have come a long way. My whole body was infected. I had blotches, rashes and dermatitis all over my body. The Doctor I saw had no clue and sent me to a Dermatologist who diagnosed me with Contact Dermatitis, telling me that I needed to change my soap and detergent. After spending hundreds of dollars on toxic medications that had no effect, I cleared up the dermatitis by applying Apple Cider Vinegar to the effected areas and by drinking Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother two or more times a day. After a year of searching the Internet I came upon a number of Morgellons sites. The specimens I had collected matched what was being shown under microscopes on youtube. After changing my diet and taking the Antioxidants, Vitamins, Ginkgo, garlic, etc. I am functioning close to normal and feel that I can go back out into the work force in some area where I will have little or no contact with others. These things still emerge and fall off my face and body on an hourly bases.
I hope what I’ve written helps those who have just been diagnosed or those of you who have been suffering wanting help.
I have not tried Utra-silver nor MMS. Ultra-silver scares me! MMS I my try soon.
Good luck and may God help us all.

Help! does anyone know of a doc in the chicago land area that can help a friend of mine suffering from Morgellons?
January 28th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Mary Kay,
I was wondering if you could tell me about your friends symptoms so that i can compare with mine? I am from the south suburbs and I live in a wooded area and I haven’t heard of anyone out this way with this diseases. I don’t know if i have Morgellons but my symptoms are as fallowed.
I started with clear fiber like hair that sticks out of my pores, just like a hair but hard as a splinter. I plucked them out but they kept coming back in different places of my body.
About 3 winters ago I caught a bad stomach flu for about 10 days. I had fever but the strange thing was the severe coldness that I felt on my bones, i could not stop shaking I had clothes on layers and layers of covers on me and I could not get myself to warm up. I also felt itching allover my body and to be honest I was feeling so sick I thought about suicide and I am not the person to ever think of something like this. Every winter after that I get sick but it’s not stomach flu anymore it is just the chills and not being able to warm myself up no matter what I do and the fever gets very high. I get’s shots from someone that I can’t disclose because she get these shot’s from Mexico and I’m not sure what they are or the name of them but they help me. I just want to say that this person I trust with my life and I am taking a risk by taking them but she is a relative and she is very smart and I trust her with my life. I don’t know if this haves anything to do with Morgellons but i think somehow they are liked.
About 6 months ago I started getting very depressed/panic attacks and not to mention the fatigue and I understand some people might say that I’m just lazy and overweight but the fatigue is just so bad not normal.
my doctor put me on Lexapro 10mg for my panic attack and Clorazepate 7.5 mg to help me sleep. They didn’t help me sleep!! I had bad dreams but they were so real and in all my dreams there were florescent light similar to the fibers. I also started getting dry itchy patches on my stomach I assumed that they were side effects from the medication and never asked my dr..
Around Nov of 2008 I started itching on my back and I asked my husband to look at my back to see if I had a hair on my back that was causing me to itch. He looked at it and said it looked like a pimple and he started to pick at it because I was itching so bad and it started to hurt. He said there was a black spot in the middle and for weeks he tried getting it out but it seemed to go in and out of the pore, as soon as he tried to pluck it it would sink into the skin. Finally after weeks of scratching it and picking at it he was able to pull it out and it was long and black looked like a spiders led or a blister but it came apart like it was made of fibers.
About a week ago I got another one on my back and the black spot it there but he can’t get to it and besides it is very itchy and painful, if I just run my hand over it, it is extremely painful that it goes all the way to my spine and chest.
Mary Kay or anyone with similar symptoms please get in touch with me and let me know if I have this or if it’s something else!!!!!!

I also forgot to mention that when I purchased my house in 2006 it was infested with flees. I had it bombed and it took us a month to get rid of them. The people who lived there before had two dogs and they would let them run in the woods behind my house and then let them in the house.

Conspiracy theories aside lol
Has anyone here attempted to use oral ivermectin (Stromectol, I think is the brand available in the states) as a cure?
I did read through and I didn’t see it mentioned
Ivermectin works both internally and externally and is a substance derived from a specific bacterium, it seeps through the skin from the inside out and is effective at killing off a broad spectrum of parasites, while being very safe to use on people over 30kg (severe overdosing can cause problems as large concentrations of ivermectin can cross the human blood-brain barrier and can then inhibit neurological function/apparently can cause blindness, but ivermectin typically does not cross mammalian blood-brain barriers and it’s very hard to overdose.)
It works by crossing the blood-brain barrier, paralysing and killing parasites at a certain stage in their life cycles (except tapeworms, as their neuro functions work in a different way) so most people would recommend at least 3 doses, once a week to clear infestation by breaking the cycle, the half-life of ivermectin is 16 hours, another reason why repeat treatment is recommended.
If you can convince your doctor to give it a go I think it’s worth a try, seeing as there are very limited options, with a lot of you being immediatelly dismissed by medical “professionals”(which is pretty disgusting if you ask me. With more and more people speaking up they can’t ignore it for much longer at least).
I don’t suffer from the disease, I’m just a very interested and concerned individual. I’ve been researching M at various sites but I’ve never seen ivermectin brought up, I figured it might be worth the mention as it is proven to be extremely effective with other parasites.

Dear Haley..
Ivermectin was indeed brought up here because I brought it up..
Six replies back by Cloverdale nine rows down from the top..
Jan 19th I left a comment saying I had used this drug twice..
And that I was awaing the result.. I’ve since done another round..
For years I believed I was suffering with a difficult case of scabies..
Ivermectin is considered an unorthodox treatment for that condition..
But I thought I’d try it anyway..
When I finally bought a mini-microscope early in January..
I then saw for the first time in seven years..
What I was actually dealing with..
Or more to the point.. What I wasn’t..
Oh & I’ve never seen any actual movement in the lesions..
Took some Ivermectin again last night..
The doctor rewrote the script today..
So I’ll be going back to the drug store tomorrow for more..
Love that Ivermectin! I’m putting all my hopes on it..
But nothing’s happened yet to stop the current outbreak..
cloverdale1065@yahoo.com
February 12th, 2009 at 5:11 am
I must of missed that Clover, my apologies
Good luck with the ivermectin, keep us updated with the results
February 13th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I do not have this. However I recomend all people start eating seeds that have vitamin b-17 in them, Amygdalin, Apricot seeds and apple seeds are very high in this. This helps your imune system. Also neem from the neem tree, it is an anti fungal. By chance the powers that be have made illegal Amygdalin, and are now making laws to make neem illegal.
February 19th, 2009 at 12:15 am
I hope that all of you will consider being tested for lyme disease as this can be a co infection to Lyme. Go to a Lyme literate Dr. so that you are getting the proper test done. There is a place in Scottsdale Arizona that treats Lyme and coinfections and I know they are currently treating one patient with Morgellons.
She is getting better. I am being treated there for Lyme myself with much sucess. It is called “Envita”
Good luck.
February 24th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Hello,
Apparantly, the condition is caused by a simple plant fly sharing its life cycle with humans.The young flies themselves are of very small size of the order of one fifth of a millimeter and hides itself from visibility often flying into dark back ground.
The eggs are laid on human skin hair during sleep and they look like small little white balls. If you collect the body sheddings from your itching area of the skin into a clear plythene bag and close the bag as sheet and observe against a bright light using an ordinary magnifying lens, you can see the white balls of eggs,larvae attached to a string of Morgellon fibre,creepy crawly adult larve,flies entrapped inside morgellon fibre cocoon and some young flies. You may not get all these stages at one go. If you get only white eggs, keep the bag safe for a day. Next day if you observe, the white egg against light, you will see them as black eggs, indicating mature larvae insde. However, if you see them agaist reflected light, the eggs will still look as white, indicating the shell of the egg is white. Now you wait for one more day, and if you observe the plastic bag against light, you will find a long thin fibre lying next to the egg, with a small larva attached to it at one end or somewhere along the length. Now the egg shell will look white through reflected or refracted light.
While further studies are being done,all that I want to confirm is that Morgellons is real and nothing delusional about it, and most likely, it is caused by a simple plant fly which responds to insecticides, insect repellents and IR radiations. The problem gets complicated for the simple reason that they are sitting in our body and makes it difficult to spray insecticides. For a detailed article on the subject refer http://bharathyeju.blogspot.com
For the time being, to reduce the irritations from this creature, the following may be done:
1. Be happy and maintain a positive attitude to life.
2. Use some natural insect repellent in the bathing water after consulting a herbalist.
3. Daily take sun bath during morning and evening for about fifteen minutes if you are not allergic to sun’s rays.
4. Use some mosquito repellents at night as these flies are also repelled with them.
5. Use some antifungal cream as recmmended by your doctor on the lesions.
6. Try not to get stuck to a single place for long hours.
These steps will considerably reduce the skin irritation due to these bugs.

I have the pimply lesions, no fibers as under the microscope they appear to be collembola (springtails) although I had suspected culicoides – biting midges. I have changed my spa into a salt water bath – $5.00 for a bag of watersoftener salt -no additives -also in the tub and a sprayer in bed with me at night. Stops the itch and heals! I had lovely little holes in my feet – they are in my vehicles as well as the house – Each night I apply a mixture of sulphur and petroleum jelly (1/4 teaspoon sulpur to 4 ounces of vaseline) It is gross but they really emerge! I have been using sulphur (a natural antifungal) powder in the house and cars and soaked the carpets in the cars and washed the floors in the house with Home Defense by Ortho – it contains Bifenthrin – recommended in the literature – and am seeing a marked improvement. no more leisons, just some tiny blood blister-like bites. Salt baths (1/2 to 3/4 cup) with hydrogen peroxide (1/2 – 3/4 cup) really helps – makes the suckers really drop off! I also vaccum every night and sprinkle the rooms with sulphur –
Sure wish this was a mental problem – then I could just take a pill! My cats and dogs are bothered – one female cat and my old female dog really seem to have problems. I have doctored them off the dog and keep her outside. They prefer me to the cat so she loses hers each night! On me! I feel sooo bad for bringing these things to them – I befriended a lady whose apartment was infested – we were EXTREMELY careful – but they came anyway – and I was bitten at her place – stung is more like it! and the itching is when they are emerging! The stinging feels like an acid burn! It sounds like Bharathyeju is the only real scientist out there! The search for truth and new knowledge seems extremely challenged with this disorder!

Hello SLOLadyBugged!,
Thank you for your encouraging comments.
Seeing the details of the sufferers, I am keen to contribute whatever little I can, to reduce the sufferings.I am still toying with the idea whether the organism behind is biting midges or a new form of body lice and the flies are just incidental.
All that I can confidently say at this point is that the little flies are there, the white eggs are there and the larvae stuck on to a morgellons fibers are there. Now that you say, you do not see any fiber in your case,I may think that in your case it may be another form of organism causing itching and lesion. After all, there no shortage of life forms on this planet.However, you might not have seen the fibre as the larve might have lost the fibre in its growing stage. As far as I know the fibres will be present only during the initial stage of the larvae and you could check for fiber as follows:
Collect the shedding from combing your hair into a clear polythene bag and observe the bag after folding into a sheet, against light using a magnifying glass.Check if you are able to locate small white/black eggs. If found, keep the bag as such for a day and observe it again after each day. Depending upon the ambient temperature, the eggs will take time to hatch. A hatched egg will show a long fiber near the empty shell ,with a larva stuck to the fiber.The larva will not be able to crawl farther on the plastic surface.
Assuming the organism involved in your case also is biting midges, you need not worry too much about removing them from the environment, as it is going to be an impossible task.You need only to take care of the body, as continued resistance will automatically deter the flies to look for other hosts/environment. I feel that by constant spraying of insecticides in our homes and surroundings, we managed to kill spiders, lizards and cockroahes,who were keeping guard of our homes against these intruding midges, and now if we try to kill enmass these little flies, we may probably be facing attacks from the bacterium level. So, only use tried and tested methods of natural insect repellents, which may take a little time to be effective, but surely will not interfere with the nature’s balancing mechanism.
Whatever chemicals you try on your body, do it in consultation with a Doctor.Even using salt water for long periods over the skin may have secondary effect on your body, so always do consult. Also to keep the flying midges at bay, you may use plastic window screens and approved mosquitoe repellents.
Awaiting your valuable feed back,
With regards,

I too had the lessions and the fibers and the itching and the pimple like outbreaks. In an attemt to get rid of something else I found it also got rid of the lessions. I started to use epsom salts half a cup bentonite clay half a cup and baking soda three teaspoons in a bath and would soak for thirty min. It took a few weeks to get rid of the lessions but it did go away. I took three baths a week in the mixture.I had built a zapper from the book the cure for all diseases for my flus and colds I always got. I used the zapper for twenty min and I avoided all meds and smoking. that was hard. But nessassary. I found that when I used the zapper and the baths I found relief from the itching and the lessions went away. I break out about once a month depending on how much I am outside after the chem trails.
I was not bit by a brown recluse and I do live in florida. However there is alot of people who dont live in those areas who have morgellons also.
Now the book the cure for all diseases by Dr. hulda clark were I got the info on building the zapper I believe she got all her ideas from Royal Rife who cured cancers and bacteria and viruses with frequency from electricity. Which the zapper is based on also.
I dont know how it works all I know is it works for me. I believe in it only from the results I get. Three weeks ago I had a flu. Stopped up nose and cough with yellow thick phlem. I used the zapper for twenty min and so as I finished I was able to breathe through my nose and the cough became clear and more easy to bring up.
I forgot to mention that I also use baking soda and bentonite clay internally one teaspoon each in water on empty stomach once a day. I no longer have the rough scaly Skin. I had for years had callouses on my feet. No more. I also wanted to mention that I developed high blood sugar. 190. after years of 70 it was way high for me. I used black walnut hull tincture thirty drops in water on empty stomach once a day for seven days and once a week thereafter. now my blood sugar is only 111 daily two hours after meals and no medications for high blood sugar. Smiles.

I understand that this is real. Most medicine you can buy is meant to mask or stop symptoms, not to cure a cause – that coincidentally makes it more profitable, too. If I experienced anything like this, my first response would be to apply a poultice of plantain and cayenne. Plaintain grows everywhere, but be sure you know how to identify it. Broad leaf or narrow leaf both work. Take a few leaves and chew them slightly to “bruise” them. The saliva also helps to start breaking down the plant (as it does our food), which helps release the plant’s active properties. Then sprinkle some cayenne (on the leaf, on the part that will be next to the skin) and bandaid the cayenned-plantain over the sore. Try this process on one sore only, changing 2-3 times a day, for 4-5 days to see if it works. These two herbs have been known for centuries for drawing foreign objects and poisons out of the skin, and both are healing to the skin. The cayenne will sting an open wound, but it dissipates fairly soon. The bandaid shouldn’t allow much air in, as the poultice should remain damp. Remember, change it regularly, or it could mold in a few days. — About the BT Cotton, you know there are also GMO crops that create their own plastics? Check out Seeds of Destruction.

Hello,
Looking at the various posts, it appears that the symptoms are not the same for all individuals and probably, we are also looking at different diseases.The one I am presently talking about is the one reported by many persons, which gives rise to an all body insect crawling sensation, body itching and associated lesions. The affected individuals also feel small insects flying into their nostrils and eyes and they could collect sand like hard particles from their eyes. The physical symptoms like lesions and itching in this case vary considerably with individuals and some people get only few lesions and in some cases, no lesions at all. Unfortunately, with all such complaints from patients, the majority of doctors all over the world exhibit an ostrich syndrome by calling the condition as ‘Delusional Parasitosis’.
As far as I could conclude, one of the causes for the itchinmg and lesions is the allergic reaction caused by the chemical released by the newly laid eggs of the insect and or the hatching larvae, when they come in contact with the skin.Some individuals’s skin probably is not allergic to this chemical. Itching is also caused when the insect bytes or when the larva or the the nymph burrows into the skin or moves under the skin. More details of my study is available at my blog site http://bharathyeju.blogspot.com.
Now, coming back to the life cycle of the insect, I would like to adopt the concept of springtails as mentioned in the above post by SLOLadyBugged!. Both the insect and the nymph are characterised by their ability to hop around on the host’s skin. I would presume that the nymph is using its springtail for jumping around. May be the larval stage I am seeing is nothig but the growing nymph with the Morgellons fiber attached to it, which it sheds during its development. The affected body shedding shows a lot of white egg shells, dropped off during hatching, as well as loose Morgellons fibers. I would also think that there is no pupa stage at all, and a few pupa like objects seen on the body are nothing but young flies trapped in a mesh of statically charged Morgellons fibers as the flies keep crawling on the skin. To those readers who wonder why I am so much bothered about the life cycle and characteristics of the flies, I would like to clarify that once the pathogens and their behaviour is well understood, it becomes easy for the medical world to find a proper solution for the problem.
Another point I would like to raise is, probably, the main method of multiplication of these insects are not through animal hosts. Noseeums are best known to live in moist places including open drains and they need not look for animal hosts for their life cycle support. They are known to byte animals for blood and that clould be the only reason why they visit humans too. I now feel more strongly to suggest that the statically charged, low weight eggs deposited on plants and tree leaves are dispersed by the wind and may be attracted and collected by our body hair under attraction of static charges. Once fallen on to our hair, they get glued to the hair due to the chemical on their surface. More eggs therefore can get collected if you spend more time near these plants or trees, or if your work place has a window opening to these trees and plants . If your body is exposed to sun, the eggs will dry up and die, or else may be in a day, the fresh eggs will hatch and the larvae will burrow into your skin, assisted by the bytes of the flies or mosquitoes. So, it is quite possible that the infestation that we are talking about is just accidental and not intentional, but once a hosting cycle is started, probably it continues. So, one method to cut into the life cycle of the insect may be to reduce the exposed hairy portion of the skin and to wear perforated plastic caps on head. May be wearing synthetic clothes may also trap the flying insects on to their outer surface and both the clothes and the caps may be dipped and washed in ditergent water on every evenings to clear off the accumulated insects/larvae/eggs.
Will return with more ideas,
With regards,

I can’t believe that so many doctors don’t think this is REAL!!! There’s a special place in hell for them.
I use a salve called “Epsal” (purchased online only) for rashes. It has epsom salts and ointment and acts as a drawing salve. I wonder if it would be helpful for Morgellons. It’s expensive but you can use peanut butter or plain mud or clay as a drawing salve too. I also wonder if “suffocating” the skin would help. In South America, for instance, they use bacon fat to smother the skin when they have botfly eggs under their skin. The larvae can’t breathe and crawl to the surface. Maybe slathering butter all over yourself would help. I have no idea. It’s just a thought.

I’ve had this thing for 3 years now. Have the leasions, fibers, crystals, specs etc. Worse for me is what would make me seem crazy. They come out of my skin and feel like creatures crawling on me. Even recognize them. They have diferent ways of moving. Thesre is one that feels clearly like a cat. I actually feel connected to her and call her harriot. I feel like she protects me from the other creatures which are more creepy and bite and leave claw marks. I wonder if its demonic or alien. I hoped I was delusional cause that is treatable. But the anti phycotic meds I was put on did nothing to diminish the symptoms.
They do provide some entertainment. My hair has basically been taken over by fibrous hair. If I pull some out, its quite something watching them attack each other or try to connect and entertwine.
Vitamin E has helped with deadening some lesions. I also do best when I stick to vegetables, fish and chicken.

Hello,
As I read more about this health problem I am getting more confused. It appears that the common symptom of ‘ all body insect crawling sensation at night with or without lesions ‘, categorised by the medical world under Delusional Parasitosis ( DP ) is casused by many reasons and therefore the secondary symptoms can vary widely. Apart from from that, the old and sick persons may feel additional problems due to other diseases which may have noting to do with the condition of DP. Therefore, it is apparent that detailed symptoms are to be analysed by a medical expert and appropriate treatment is to be applied to known diseases to find a complete cure. All that I am interested is to support the theory that the DP by itself is not 100% delusional, and in most cases, is real, caused by an almost invisible family of insects known commonly as Noseeums or biting midges. Looking at the detailed study of the fibers by Morgellons Research Foundation, it also appears that the case I am talking about is only a subset of the detailed study conducted by that great reaserch institute.
Now coming back to the specific issue of biting midges, in the absence of proper medical treatment, the major way to control them is to keep oneself away from being bitten by the flies. These flies respond to normal insect repellents and appears to be easy to control. But the real challange lies in eliminating them completely from one’s body as a part of its life cycle is spent within the host’s body and there is abundant supply of these insects in the environment, so that, even if the life forms within the body is removed once, it gets replenished in no time from outside. Spraying insecticides to kill the flies is of limited use, since most of the flies will will fly away and return back with more vengeance to fill up the vacuum created by the dead flies. Futher, a part of the insecticide sprayed in the envornment gets back into our own body and also the insecticide kills helpful predators of these flies, like spiders, lizards etc. So, one should concentrate on the body side only and not very much on the environment.
The process of treatment should start ideally from inside of the body to drive out the living forrms from inside. Special attention should be given to the health condition of the patient in administering the internal medicine, as any medicine to kill the parasites inside the body can cause a major load on the clensing organs of the body like liver, kidney etc, and especially so, if the patient already has problems with those body parts. Apart from this, the medicine itself may have its own side effects. An ideal solution will be to use some herbal remedy to drive the parasites out of the body to the skin surface. In this case, the clay treatment described above could be a good solution, but, should be used in consultation with an expert physician in the field, as persons suffering from poor bowel movement may find it difficult to discharge the clay material from the body and thus complicating the case further. Also the salt treatment even applied externally, may not be suitable for some persons.
Escaping from the bytes of the insects is very essential to control the infestation. This could be done by using insect repelling non-poisonous herbal shampoo in the bathing water for the final wash and should be done on a daily basis. Combing the hair using combs with closely spaced teeth a few times daily will help to remove the eggs and larval stages/flies trapped in the hair. If the comb is dipped in insect/lice repelling non-poisonous lotions, it will also help to keep the flies away for some time. During the day, try to move around and do not get stuck to one place for long hours. Expose the body to morning/evening sun for some time daily. Night time during sleep, use any mosquito repellent to repel both mosquitoes and the midges. Keeping the flies away at night is very important as our body is least reactive and these flies are most active at night. Use insect trapping plastic window screens for the house.
The patients should also understand that the above procedures are slow acting, but least harmful techniques and should be continued for some time to get control of the situation. At the same time, if they are suffering from other health issues like sugar complaints, intestinal or liver disorders, appropriate medication should be taken, as all symptoms are not contributed by the insect infestation..
Another issue that came up during the study of the biting midges is their association with the filarial worms. It is said that these insects help to inject microfilariae before sucking the host’s blood. While I am a little sceptical about how these micro flies, light enough to float in the wind current, can carry another parasite, their association with filarial worms is an important point to note, and at least some patients would show additional symptoms of filarial worms along with DP. And, going by the complementary rule, for whatever reasons, the flies themselves may get latched on to the hosts carrying these worms, again I would suspect, the worms may be producing ultrasonic sound to attract these flies as well as mosquitoes to help dispersal to other hosts. In such cases, may be, removal of these worms may remove DP for ever ? Again clay treatment?
And finally, sorry for the long post, I sometimes wonder, how inefficient we are in expressing an idea by stringing words into sentences, and sentences to present an idea and finally to learn that the listener has only misunderstood. Some of the ideas for treatment in this post are repetitions of the earlier posts, but are given here for consolidation and to stress the importance of those simple, but effective methods of treatment.

My heart goes out to all those effected in one way or another by this devious affliction. I wonder just how many people have this and have no one to tell or don’t have any idea what is happening to them. Reading this article/comments has been an exercise in keeping love and forgiveness in my heart. Those who have orchestrated and created this disease must surely scheme with cold hearts.
Folks, this is just another blatant example of the people being intentionally poisoned for the purpose of depopulation and to dumb as down and create dumb sheeple. Not to sound caustic, but as far as I can tell the plan is working beautifully. We are in a prison of consciousness, and no this is not just the “human condition”, rather this “prison” is an artificial creation by malovent forces seeking to control us. The good news: WE hold the key to the prison. The most stirring comment for me was from charlotte (the first comment), for she brought to light a great truth. We really do have no limits, all that truly limits us is our beliefs. To change your limits, change your beliefs.
I hope and pray that out of this tragedy comes a greater understanding regarding the plight we all face. We are all in a WAR, and like it or not you are involved. You didn’t choose to participate, you were just covertly attacked on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Morgellons is just another strand in the web, all with the same purpose: to keep you from realizing your true potential. Or in other words, “To keep you from REMEMBERING”. Our attackers wield hate, fear, anger and logic. But sadly for them, LOVE and LIGHT are of a higher dimension and the darkness cannot pierce the light. And the light is growing………

I am no scientist, but I have watched under the microscope these fibers form. I use the blood and yellow goo that flows from the lesions on a slide, QUICKLY put it under the microscope and you can watch as the black muck forms in the blood. Once forming it will shoot out pointed tubes that search for more food. The tubes are hollow and will go exactly strait if there is little blood available. I think over ions they have learned, the quickest way from point A to B is direct. When they are not forming in a blood rich enviroment they form tripods which shoot out in three seperate directions. If these tubes intersect with another tube they will connect, this I think they do in hopes that the other tube has alredy found food (red blood cells). The red blood cells do not start the reaction of turning black it seems unless they come in contack with a clear looking cell (possible white blood cell, T cell this I can not say as I am not a blood specilist) anyway the clear cell will have a fine black layer around it. This reation begins as soon as the fluid is removed from the body and put onto the slide. If you do not hurry and look the reaction will have gone from perfect blood and fluid mixture to the black ugly mess. If you hurry you will watch as the most aggressive reation you have ever seen takes place. it is more like an explosion, that is if there is alot of blood available. If the fluid you reap from the lesion is clear with a very tiny amount of blood and yellow goo it will form the tripods that have the never ending extending tubes. Can you make me believe that the researchers have not already seen this happen, NO, that is unless they are all STUPID. I have pictuers of this, soon I should have a movie of the reaction, so nobody will be able to tell me I do NOT know what I have seen.

Thought i would put a few things on to hopefully help a few of you.Don’t clean with bleach etc.Use baking soda alternate with salt and vinegar (seperately).Also use essential oils diluted in water.Cinnamon,oregano, thyme,patchouli,peppermint,lemongrass.You can bath in all these things too.You may get a stinging using oils in bath this means the morgs are affected and don’t like it.After bathing slather Grapefruit Seed Extract on body diluted with a little water.
I think i must have tried everything at one time or another,some work better than others.Grapefruit works very well as does hydrogen peroxide.Under my skin is loaded with the black specks which is fungus.Definitely.Recently I started taking anti fungal naturals.Ascorbic acid.Olive leaf extract (liquid) and oregano oil diluted in water.I also rubbed GSE (Grapefruit) into my legs every night.Hundreds of the specks have come out of my skin and under scope they are bunches of tangled fibres.
Bug Arrest is another good one to use in house,garden,bath and on pets.This isn’t caused by pets-they just get it the same as we do.
There is also a worm element to this and I take ivermectin pill every month.On first taking small worms exited my face which i thought were blackheads.Also take a probiotic everyday-87% of immune system is in your gut.My ‘IBS’ has completely gone and so has the gastric reflux.
Also yes small flies play a part in this they seem attracted to us and i have a garden full of fungus gnats that target me.As already said on here they do lay whatever on you at night,usually accompanied in a yellow goo.Can be found around eyes and mouth in morning,
Brush teeth with baking soda and mouthwash with it.Also mouthwash with hyd peroxide.Use selsun shampoo on hair and alternate with shampoo made up yourself using anti-fungal essential oils.Make up a water spritzer adding the oils and lemongrass which repels flies and keep it handy to spray yourself and on clothes.they don’t like menthol or camphor either.
Vac your bed everyday and spray oils in water on it.For any who use ozone machines use them regularly.But stop using chemical cleaners-it makes it worse.
There’s a ton of stuff besides but this will do for starters,cos I have memory block.LOL/Hope this helps.

Hello,
Already many techniques are discussed in the foregoing posts as to how to control the infestation, like uage of epsom salt, ivermectin,clay treatment and so on. I would caution any body using ivermectin and albendazole to strictly adhere to the dosages and quantity prescribed , as these are notorious for their side effects and should never be taken beyond precribed limits or without prescription. Now, the question remains if there is any reader here who is not able to control the infestation even after using all these methods of control, anf if not, one can safely conclude that the condition we are discussing is probably not all that serious and may be it has been existing for ages without being noticed or discussed over a forum like this, especially because the global communication among strangers has been made possible only recently thanks to the internet technology. And in the past, when it was not possible for such discussions, the doctors could easily cover up their ignorance by hiding behind the fog of Delisional Parasitosis, whereas, undoubtedly it was nothing but a case of ‘Dlusional Judgementosis’ from the doctors concerned. Also, from various posts, it is very clear that people have been carrying on with their routine work for years without any major deterioration in their health due to this condition, and if at all the health got deteriorated, it was only due the stamp of ‘Delusional’ being put on them by the so called professional experts.
As far as I could conclude, it is not a major disease, and it is a disease of inactivity in a biological system. Infact, many of the modern day maladies like Blood Sugar, Pressure and Cholesterol are all gifts of the modern life style characterised by intake of high calorie, high pesticide filled food stuffs combined with reduced body activity and exercise, and high level of mental tension. If the symptoms are under control, the next step is to find out how to eliminate it totally. In this context, it is important to know why the parasite keeps returning to the same host. If the reason for this question can be found out, the solution becomes easy. Some of the points already discussed above for this behaviour of the parasite are:
- The pheromones left behind by the insects
- a queen or a few of the lower life cycle forms still remaining in the body.
- Just a Force of Habit that makes the outside insects to return to the already familiar host’s body.
- the measures taken have only removed the secondary cause, whereas the primary cause still remains in the host’s body which weakens the body’s natural immune system and throw open the body to invading opportunistic parasites. The primary causes may include high blood sugar, intestinal/liver problems, skin disorders, presence of worms or Tinitus with sound produced by the body.
Of the above points, the first three causes will vanish if the simple changes in life style discussed to contain the symptoms is continued for some more time. But if the last point is the reason, then the symptoms will return, probably with vengeance, so long as the primary casuse is not controlled or removed. In the biology studies, we often come across this sort of Egg and Chicken situation. A complete solution will therefore emerge only if we can identify the primary cause and remove it, and in the case, the secondary cause will automatically vanish. In this context, it is worthwhile to note one of the comments above regarding how the clay treatment meant for intestinal cleansing has removed the skin parasite in toto. Since there may be other primary causes also which can trigger skin infestation by parasites, the first step to be taken is to ensure that at leat your body does not have any of the above known diseases, and take appropriate medicine to contain them. An active, healthy body should always be able to defend itself.
So, my open question to the readers here of this Forum is ‘ if there is any body here who enjoys perfect health with regard to the above disease conditions, and still suffering from the symptoms of Morgellns’. A positive answer to this question will be a great impetus for continuing this study further.
I have also happened to go through the partial concluding report from Morgellons.Org. It appears to me that the guys over there have virtually got caught in the web of Morgellons fibres. I really do not know why the biologist sitting at the helm of affairs there does not look at the real creature raising its ugly head and gleefully challanging the human kind seemingly uttering the words ‘ Hey man, I am here in your sacred body and catch me if you can ‘. The creature there matches exactly with the springtail nymph I am talking about and the fibers are possibly their adapted mechanisms to live in a highly hostile human body and I strongly feel that these little insects have developed this technology over millions of years and might have been trying it over many of its higher level species during these years. If one of their representatives were allowed to talk to humans, they would have definitely protested against giving all the evolutionay credits to a few scientists from Defence or Corporate Sector.
The above comments are not meant to demean the great work done at Morgellons on fiber side, but my chicken brain is unable to stop the embarassment resulting out of the question why at all they left out the main creature behind and went on chasing the fibers only. On the positive side of the fiber study, if all that told is correct I bet the baldies in the world will pump in any amount of mony in the biofilm based fiber reasearch if such strong and coloured naturally growing fibers can be cultivated on their scalp. Further, if the biofilm it self is capable of developing into any kind of tissues, that will solve the major problem that faces today’s bioresearch, viz., the need to locate a source for continued supply of stem cells. With these findings, I can see a great future for the the morgellons creature, which will be the most sought after creature in the world in the days to come. On the negative side,even if for a moment, I presume that the fiber is the main issue and that they have been created by scientists for various territorial and defence purposes, a big question from me is SO What ?, so long as the creative human brain is active, it is only a matter of time for such things to happen, so why not now? If our collective intelligence and smartness is only leading us to a Dooms Day, well, that is what we truly deserve. So do not worry , be happy, do not get into the blame game, it does not help any body. Also, rest assurred that we are a subset of Mother Nature and if our tendency is to drag ourselves to a point of self distruction, it is built into her design, just enjoy it.
And finally, I do not want to play the role of a ‘ Street evangelist giving his sermons to a way side lamp post ‘, I want healthy discussions in the FORUM like this, both For and Against what is being written, so that the truth and only truth will emerge.

Just a note, I did a blog article on this disease on March 3. Two days ago I contracted an extremely serious case of hives. I was wondering if anyone can say this thing starts out like hives and turns into scabs as such? I took benedryl, an allergy medication, that really helped ease the itching and burning sensation on my skin. Any comments?

Hello,
Hi Jhona, since you have a microscope, I urge you to have a look at how the eggs hatch.It should be easy to collect a few white eggs into a clear polythene bag and observe its development for few days till they hatch.Check if you are able to confirm the emergence of an early stage nymph with characteristic springtail attached to a fiber and all covered in slime. May be if you can feed a few drops of blood to it, the the nymph may start even growing. You may need to spray a few drops of water into the bag to maintain the moisture level.In the absence of moisture, the whole thing will dry up and look like a comet with a long tail (fiber) ending up in a white spot, which makes the hard part of the nymph. At this stage as confirmed by Morgellons Reaserch, the nymph does not have a sack over its body.
Another important fact about the eggs I forgot to mention, is that even the eggs doe not look like having a sack.It appears like a small dense speck of starch, but comes with a V-shaped fiber wing which makes it buoyant and allows it to soft land on the host’s body with out getting damaged by the shock of the elctrostatic force of attraction.
And to Cheryl m., I do not think you have a cause for worry, such allergies are quite common from food items like Shell fish, visit to a Park having some allergy vausing trees or plants and in some rare cases due to spider bytes. Keep consulting your doctor and you should be free of it soon.

All you people sounding crazy with the bug voices in your ears and “not believing in the bug” and urine therapy need to stop.
You’re making us sound crazy… because you probably are in fact crazy and trying to jump on the bandwagon of a real problem. Go back to your UFOS please.
Itchy dots similar to flea bites but bigger, occasionally open but most the time closed. Location is on the tops of my left forearm and the middle of my right shin. Feeling of bugs under the skin and slightly painful. Scarring and skin damage definitely. Colored wires much thicker than my body or head (or pubic for that matter) hair. Mostly redish and purplish and some kind of yellowish. They look completely fake but they pop up under the skin and can be pulled out, often looking like they are going to end right under the surface but continuing to unravel to quite some length (its really weird looking to pull them out). They do appear much more vibrant under ultraviolet light (i tried it out). They look kinda cool to be honest. Haha. Morgellon artwork maybe? Id have to save up the wires for a long time lol.
Does it suck? Yes. Is it ruining my life… not really. It’s itchy… it hurts…its unsightly. But I have more things to worry about. I hope that its identified or cured soon. I really do. Until then I have more to worry about as my life is quite busy. Ive moved twice during this time and I have moderate sanitation habits (I mean I bleach my shower 2 times a month and wash my sheets every 2 weeks… vacuum every 4-5 days… that’s moderate right?) No pets. Pretty normal diet… I’ll buy rice and chicken from the market…get fast food once or twice a week… nothing weird. No prescriptions except an occasional vicodin for my neck. Theres my story. Good luck everyone who really has this problem.
March 31st, 2009 at 4:37 pm
To add to that above, symptoms lasting about 6 years now. Past three years the severity of the hives has grown much MUCH less but the weird wirey things have gotten slightly worse (Just a little bit).
March 31st, 2009 at 4:50 pm
After more review it seems like the fibers I have are much thicker and possibly longer than others I’ve seen. (Never knew there was so many videos on youtube haha). Has me a little confounded. Oh well.

Hello,
How many of you have tried using vinegar as a possible cure. If you have not tried already, and if your stomach permits,try vinegar pickles with your food for a week and see if your condition improves.Do not use alcohol with vinegar.Any feedback in this connection will be helpful.

I KNOW THE ORIGIN OF MORGELLONS DISEASE!
This was a type of bio-warfare weapon from the early 1970’s and has been used directly to terrorize me as subject for a film shoot. They were sold on the internet as “dancing hairs”. These fibers can be remote-controlled in the body. See my microscope photos. Painful skin lesions can be eradicated with a vacuum cleaner.

I began having sores erupting on my skin with small black fibrous masses inside for about 6 years ago. About 2 yrs ago I started drinking kefir (probiotic drink, similar to yogurt, but with many more species of probiotics in it). The kefir apparently helps the immune system. The sores got smaller and many of them disappeared altogether. Then I reached a plateau with no more progress. A few months ago I began taking a product that helps my cells make glutathione. Under this regimen, I rejoice daily as I feel younger and all my physical problems are reducing dramatically. Understanding the importance of glutathione in the cells, which has been decrasing since you were 20 years old, you will understand how increasing the cellular production of glutathione will boost your health.

Below (open) question posed March 20, 2009 by BHARATHYEJU..
He asks: “So, my open question to the readers here of this Forum is if there is any body here who enjoys perfect health with regard to the above disease conditions, and still suffering from the symptoms of Morgellns’. A positive answer to this question will be a great impetus for continuing this study further”..
*************************************************************
cloverdale1065@yahoo.com says in reply…
My answer to you is YES! I DO ENJOY OTHERWISE PERFECT HEALTH!
Even in the face of this scourge that has afflicted me for 6 years..
Until I got my hand-held microscope in January I thought it was bugs..
Like on the order of scabies.. My symptoms seemed to suggest that..
However after seeing the threads which to me appear to be fungi..
I can now discontinue harried applications of Lindane & Permethrin..
I’ve even stopped ingesting Ivermectin.. I’ll try the vinegar wash..
Thank you for reminding me.. Sounds reasonable & it may neutralize it..
But there is no cure for Morgellons just a management protocol..
You gotta learn to live with it..
But first you must get it outta your head that it’s bugs..
Flying, biting, crawling, egg laying insects or what have you..
Morgellons is in a class by itself & more flora than fauna..
The pH of ones blood can be a factor so I suggest baking soda 2X aday..
Test your saliva over a weeks time at the same hour every day..
There are paper strips made for this purpose & get an average reading..
Which’ll be a good indication of you blood’s pH..
Too acid & you got problems anyhow so what’s the harm..
Perhaps one or two of the maladies people seem to be suffering..
May subside or correct itself but the Morgellons isn’t going away..
I’ve no credentials in this area of study.. I’m a layman..
And I’ve dealt with this daily to the point of distraction..
6+ years I have observed & spot-treated each lesion & I’ve had many..
They do heal but not until the contents inside the wound is removed..
That’d be the filaments & also the black specks..
Need I say more.. Keep the area clean & covered..
Use Mupirocin 2% ointment it helps remove the biofilm..
I’ve alot of advice but I still deal with my lesions everyday..
I’d like to hear from someone who thinks they’ve beaten it..
Oh & thanks to the person who suggested I buy a hand-held microscope..
(60x-100x)sold at Radio Shack for under $12..
It saved my sanity.. CLOVERDALE

Hello Cloverdale,
Thanks a lot for your reply. This was important for me to know, since if these insects ( you know I believe in the theory of insect’s nymph living under the skin ) were infact doing a scavenging work for the body, total removal of them may prove harmful.
Regarding vinegar, I meant consuming it internally. In this part of the world, we use edible quality white vinegar for making pickles. You can use any other edible quality vinegar which you are familiar with. If you have no acidity problem, try to take one table spoon of vinegar mixed with a glass of water, one in the morning and one in the evening after food. May be you use a straw to drink it so that your teeth does not come in contact with it. To start with, you can even try with only one teaspoon of it per day. Also since I am not a medical professional, I would advise you to get the opinion from your health consultant before trying it. It is my view that the insect need the fungi for its life cycle and vinegar should esily break it.
Here is an article which gives general advantages of intake of vinegar:
http://www.naturodoc.com/library/lifestyle/umeboshi_vinegar.htm
Try for two days and let me know if it helps you. Also it appears that Alfalfa has got antifungal properties, and I read from Net that it is also used by some people as cure, do you have any experience?

BHARATHYEJU thanks for your reply..
Come the good weather here in the Northeast..
I’ll be making home-made pickles too..
Actually I do use apple cider vinegar in my food but not daily..
I will, from now on, make it a point to take 2 tbs a day straight..
Today I swallowed a ladle full of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar..
With no ill effects but had I consumed straight white vinegar I dunno..
Dabbed apple cider vinegar on the sore spots & it burns like crazy!
My diet consists of varied high acid liquids like squeezed citrus etc..
In 6 yrs I’ve never seen an insect just visible tracks on the skin..
I’ve thought it over for some time& believe it’s blood-born parasites..
I don’t discount any theory of insect involvement..
I was bitten by something in the tropics & this condition followed..
Whatever tiny faction was delivered into my bloodstream at that time..
Incubated for awhile & began it’s life process over in my system..
Other than having to deal with these persistent lesions..
I enjoy near perfect health..
My skin is scar-free once a lesion heals after 3-7 months..
I’ve checked the Internet quite extensively & came up with this..
Filariasis perhaps is to blame but what type of Microfilariae I dunno..
I was infected 6 months before I began a round of Ivermectin..
I suspect it may’ve slowed it down some..
My symptoms subsided for 18 months then returned with a vengeance..
I’ve had yearly outbreaks ever since..
Recently I did 3 rounds of Stromectol (Ivermectin)..
My condition is mild this month in comparison to last year this time..
But it will no doubt get worse again..
To reiterate, at first I thought it was a case of scabies..
Hence the continuous Lindane treatments..
Now having seen the fibers or filaments under the microscope..
I know it’s not that at all..
My 60x -100x scope is just not powerful enough but it serves..
Why won’t scientists here in American studying this give us a clue..
Surely they know something definitive by now..
Nothing I’ve applied topically will cure it..
Sulphur ointment discourages it & keeps it from spreading too rapidly..
Once it gets going though it’s hard to stop..
Back to the drawing board..

Hello Cloverdale,
Please note that in my last post I have clearly advised you to take only a small qantity of vinegar, like one table spoon, mixed with a glass of water, after food only. Use a straw to drink the vinegar water mixture to avoid direct contact with your teeth.You can also mix a spoon of honey with water to make it tasty. Also do not drink it more than a week. In any case, do not drink or apply to your skin vinegar directly, without diluting with water. Better also to discuss with your health consultant as I have already told you.

Colloidal silver is easy to make for pennies. What you need are two
pieces of silver wire (contact a refiner) and a wall transformer; 30V
AC works well (paper shredders use these), although I’ve a friend who
used a car battery. One uses higher V, the other has more amps.
Anyway, punch two holes about an inch or two apart, through a piece
of rubber or plastic hose, and stick your silver wires through the
holes to serve as a jig. Set that across the lip of a mason jar
filled with distilled water and the wires immersed, (although I’ve
used polluted lake water.) Connect the wires from your transformer
output to the silver wire nibs. (I found soldering a couple alligator
clips to the wires makes it easier.) Plug it in and let it cook for
about a half hour. The water will be cloudy. Decant/strain through a
coffee filter and store away from light. Keeps indefinitely without
refrigeration but darkens with age and exposure to light. Colloidal silver kills everything but saves the person. See:

I researched Hulda Clark’s zapper to determine why it works, it’s broad spectrum and not frequency-specific, which means it’s better than Rife technology. What the zapper does is make hydrogen peroxide in the blood! It makes you tired because H202 is an oxidant, which means it causes aging, so you should take anti-oxidants while using it. Your own body makes H202 to fight off infections, but long-term, is not good. When lightening hits rivers, lakes & oceans it creates ozone that breaks down to H202, which is how God keeps them relatively clean of parasites. Once I understood this, I began adding H202 to water I used for DIY colonics (6 month colon cleanse.) The H202 is absorbed through the colon wall into the blood, faster than a zapper. I also added clay & lime to my enema water with the H202 to alleviate tiredness caused from mineral leaching. This method is painless. You just need to retain the water as long as you can, then evacuate. H202 from Walgreens is fine. This works for cancer, AIDS. I never had morgellon’s but it’s worth a try. Add some lavender, pine essential oil to the water too. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Most diseases are a mineral deficiency of some kind.

Approximately in the years 2000 to 2002 my sister, Judy Stiles had under the skin filament like things with black parts on it. Her doctor didn’ t believe her. She is from eastern Ontario, Canada in the small city of Pembroke. Skin eruptions were possible by squeezing them out. The doctor did not want to see them. She started using over-the-counter products to try and rid herself of the problem. One frequent attempt was with lice shampoos but she never had lice. In 2003 she died from breast cancer. She has 6 children who are being well cared for by her husband. I think no one else in the family so far have been troubled by this problem. I wonder if it was like a lyme disease also. She didn’t like to complain about her symptoms. She was pregnant during the episode. I am very interested in morgellon’s disease and lyme disease. Angela Greenland (sister of Judy Stiles)

Hello,
I don’t have this problem but I have been reading everyone’s posts and I’m so sad for all of you. I hope and pray for a cure (tired of just “treatments”to make the pharmaceutical co.’s rich).
Note to thrival.. Hydrogen peroxide therapy has been around a long time and I’ve been using it. HOWEVER…using over the counter H202 is not good. It has harsh chemicals in it. You need to use FOOD GRADE H202 which can be purchased at a compound pharmacy or over the internet.
Take caution with Food Grade, because it is 35% pure. Don’t let it touch your skin, it’s too strong full stregnth.
To use: Fill a glass 12oz of filtered water. Using a dropper, add 5 drops the first time. Then 7 drops then 10 up to 14 drops per 12oz.
What a difference it makes!
Do research on Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy and learn other ways this can be beneficial.

PS: Don’t drink colloidal silver. You WILL turn blue eventually as the metal salts and ions are deposited in your skin. Silver is a “heavy metal”, and won’t leave the body once ingested. It is NOT good for you, regardless of what all of the quack practitioners and snake-oil salesmen say. Use your heads, people. If there was a cure, drug companies would have found it already to make an easy buck.
Turn blue if you like, it will PROVE to people that not only are you crazy, but also desperate and gullible.

Something I find very interesting is the story near the beginning of these blogs by the licensed psychologist named C. Breuer. I have suffered from Morgellons since 1995 and when I say suffered I mean it. I was living in Somas California in Ventura County at the time on a 13 acre orange grove. One day while living there I had a physical confrontation with a gentleman that led to us wrestling in the middle of a large berry vine with thorns. I had these thorns imbedded in the back of my neck just below my head and inside of my right forearm. The thorn tips were very thin flexible and green (living) causing small portions of the thorn to remain impaled in the skin. For the first few days these imbedded thorn tips were about the size of an insect bite, somewhat painful (stinging) inflamed (reddish pink in color) and itchy. After about two weeks the injuries healed and there were no signs of scaring or infection. Suddenly in the same locations these pimple like bumps appeared “showing signs edema and extreme irritation” it was like the thorn tips were being rejected by the skin and pushed out… at least that’s what I thought at the time. Weeks went by and no matter what I did these locations would not heal and over time became extremely sensitive to say the least. The locations on my forearm ultimately healed after a few months but left deep scaring. The lesions on my neck remained and started appearing on my cheek then across the bearded section of my face. The pain from these lesions was excruciating as they oozed a clear puss that would harden to the resemblance of glass. There were also small pods coming from the locations like small seeds clear and some black in color. I suffered from these lesions for about 7 months and one day poof they healed and were gone just like that. Unfortunately that was only the beginning as soon after I developed a “chronic” cough followed by severe heartburn, muscle fatigue, blurred vision, brain fog and short term memory loss. This lasted years and resulted in the loss of my job and medical insurance… not that that helped as there were not any doctors that could find the cause of any of these illnesses. Years of agony passed and the cough and heartburn suddenly disappeared and shortly after the lesions reappeared on my face and neck with the same symptoms as before but now included these fibers that were blue, red and clear. One day I looked at them under a microscope and noticed that they were actually living! Moving around like a worm. They have since migrated to the top of my head where now reside… they seem to feel comfortable there. Another odd thing is that my daughter who was born in 2000 was diagnosed with a hereditary type of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy to spite the fact no one on either side of our families has ever been diagnosed with any type of Epilepsy or seizure disorder. I truly thank God for her because you see if not for her I would surly taken my own life long ago.

This sounds to me like some Frankenstein experiment gone awry. I watched the video and the doctor describing it sounds like she’s saying it’s polyester that can grow in a human body and control behavior?
Truly frightening.
May 9th, 2009 at 7:56 am
What is really scary for me was about Charlotte. Where the hell were her family and friends? Sounds like she’s dealing with this thing all by herself. I took care of my mom until she passed away in ‘04.’
Charlotte is explaining to the best of her ability what these insects are doing to her. She is documenting it. Why is it no one tried to contact her or find out where she lived? You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
Couldn’t you tell that she was crying out for help?
You people are messed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baratheyaju,
It is clear that you are not suffering from this horrible affliction.
Your advice about vinegar is obviously well-meant but please listen to this: The State University of New York has done a controlled study of Morgellon’s sufferers, analysing skin fibres and samples and comparing them to samples from healthy individuals. They found a vector called Agrobacterium only in the Morgellon samples and none in the healthy individuals. Agrobacterium is the vector used for introducing modified genes into plant foods such as corn and maize, which is known as GM foods. (Genetically Modified). As you can see, this is a disease which is systemic, and will require perhaps the cracking of the DNA Receptor Code of the Agrobacterium, as I understand it. By comparison, your vinegar – and all other ‘cures’ – is similar to telling someone with HIV to eat garlic.
THERE ARE NO CURES FOR MORGELLON’S AT THIS POINT IN TIME…! So all of us should save our money and not buy into the bullshit of quacks and crazies, and snake-oil peddlars . We are awaiting further info from the Center for Disease Control who are now researching the Agrobacterium angle. Let’s hope they will be able to crack this thing soon, because it can definitely drive healthy people into a state of lunacy.
I have always been an extremely healthy person until I got Morgellon’s To non-Morgies, I just wish to say that it isn’t just one or two fibres that come out of one’s skin, but literally hundreds and hundreds. I have found a way to bring them out but they replicate almost immediately. I am also getting the ‘Delusional’ angle from Dermatologists here in South Africa, who refuse to just let me show them how these things are exiting, and as a result the overall awareness that should be there by now has not come around.
Also, as long as people disgorge their far-fetched ideas about this condition, the Medical Professions will not take us serious, and label us ‘crazy’. So please let’s stop al this sci-fi and other bullshit.
If you can admit that you are Neurotic, then I suggest you start reading the works of Dr. Arthur Janov (arthurjanov.com), and go for some real therapy in Los Angeles. It is, in my opinion, the only CURE for Neurosis. Good Luck Patrick
May 16th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Hello,
Thak you Patrick for your valuable inputs. I have also read recently about the involvement of Agrobacterium in this disease and makes it a more complex issue to solve. But from my little idea of involvement of the fungi and some small insects causing external lesions, I was thinking that controlling the fungi may atleast control the external apsect of the problem, since at present the medical professionals are not even ready to acknowledge the existance of the disease.But your point is well appreciated and for a proper cure one has to go down to the bacterium level.
With regards,
Bharathyeju.

I am a genuine MD and am trying to learn something about this disease from those who have it.
I am chiming in because I want to warn everyone NOT to consume large amounts of apricot or apple seeds, as Chakra advised on 2/13/09. If you eat enough apple seeds, it will literally kill you. You will be dead, and your friends will think you committed suicide because you had Morgellons.
This poison in apple and apricot seeds is a poison made naturally by these fruits. It is not a result of the known over use of pesticides. If you eat enough seeds from completely organic apples from farms that have always been organic, you will die. The same goes for apricots.
We all know about the Angel of Death Amanita mushroom, but not everyone realizes there are equally deadly poisons in our friendly local fruit.
I agree with everyone on this blog who is calling for more research and proven cures. And I would not dismiss “the urine cure” so lightly. There really may be something in it.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
This is purely hogwash. I have looked at my skin through my son’s toy “Eyeclopse” which is essentially a microscope. I have seen the same “fibers” that appear in the pictures on this website. These are nothing more than veins, arteries, and capillaries that are too small for the human eye to see without magnification.
June 11th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
I have been a Morgellon’s sufferer for just short of 2 years. My di-
sease is replete with well-documented symptoms. My house and cat are
also infected. I had to give up teaching and all “normal life.”
Rather than bore you all with the details (real sufferers know them all
too well), I offer this: Morgellons disease is a multiple and systemic infectious infestation (MSII, for short). It “transitions” frequently
and has the ability to organize/activate pathogens that, prior to in-
festation, were probably benign. That is why, demographically speak- ing, there are some differences in the types/kinds of invaders.
I feel the components of the disease are: bacterial, viral, fungal, &
parasitic. The definitive source is unknown, as is the cure. The in-
festation displays a “collective intelligence” that add to the complex-
ity of the affliction.
My formal, carefully-crafted, “delusional parasitosis” diagnosis came
from an infectious disease doctor at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). I
had 3 appointments with her. I could tell 5 minutes into my first ap-
pointment that she was “compromised” and had heard of these same sym-
toms previously. I asked her to do a skin scraping or punch biopsy of
my infected scalp or spine–she refused. The tests she did order were
routine and “skated around” the issue. The samples I brought to her
were declared “household fauna/flora” (the same diagnosis rendered by
the MN Dept. of Health) and the head of the ‘U’ of MN Entomology Dept.
I have been treated by Mayo Clinic previously–starting at age 5. Their
intervention in the health and well being of my entire family has been
so professional and compassionate. NOT THIS TIME! I was treated with
disdain, arrogance, and derision. In other words, I was accorded no
credibility or respect.
The larger question here is: WHERE IS THE NORMAL “MAYO” RESPONSE WHICH
WOULD, AT THE VERY LEASE, HAVE TRIGGERED CONCERN, COMPASSION, AND
INTELLECTUAL CURIOUSITY? Because of the universality of the DP diagno-
sis throughout our country, I can only surmise that doctors have been
“put on notice” about this affliction and have been told to render a
DP diagnosis. They are attempting to destroy our credibility. Thus, we
are doubly victimized–first with the disease itself and secondly with
destruction of our credibility.
One of the leading Morgellons researchers told me on the phone a few
weeks ago that there are 93 documented symptoms related to this di-
sease. She also said that many involved in this disease are partici-
pating in a game of “intentional confusion.” My own experience with
doctors, dematologists, infectious disease doctors leads me to believe
they are, collectively, “creating a false reality” regarding Morgellons(and that includes the CDC with its “unexplained dermopathy” tag).
I agree with Pat Van Niekerk from South Africa. We need to organize
our ranks to bring about his desired “urgent and intense focus world-
wide.”
To all M. Sufferers: Stay positive and persevere!

June 12th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Would like to know how many of you, if any, have ever been infected with lyme disease? Mine skin lesions, started while being treated by IV Rocephin for lyme disease. I no longer am infected with lyme disease but have been fighting this skin disorder/disease/infection for more than 6 yrs, which have left horrible deep scars on my face, arms, legs, scalp etc. My arms look so bad that I fear that people when first looking at them think that I am a drug user. I have some soars that just will not heal…seeds, threads, come out of the soars, and from the pores of my skin. Soars will not heal unless the seeds, threads are removed…if left alone, they spread outwardly with thick raised skin…some reoccur in the same places..others develop from mosquito bites or scratches or scrapes…others just appear out of no where. Some old scars blister up for no reason..Have been labeled as a nervous condition, staph, MRSA, and unknown…The only treatment/meds that have worked has been IV vancomycin, and now w/o insurance, HCHD (Harris Co Hospital District) dermatologists & infectious disease docs can’t see how I would benefit from taking such potent antibiotics, even though I have explained that I suffer from Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Disorder, & most antibiotics take longer to work for me or just don’t work at all. So tired of all of the b.s. & wish someone out there would take an interest in this disease in Texas! I believe that it may have something to do with the water, being that we bathe in treated sewer water…who knows really what all bacteria is present, and I also think about the pesticides that our food is treated with could have something to do with it as well. God Bless everyone who battles these unknown, uncurable, skin lesions/disease.
NOTE: I do not have any crawling feeling or any insect buzzing. Lesions develop and once open, they sting & itch, and are vey painful. You can see the white seeds and threads, black/ red.

Found out about Morgellans while researching my daughter’s mysterious illness, said to be fibromyalgia. She is 40 something, professional, highly intelligent – developed severe neuropathy in hands and feet, brain fog, extreme sleeping disorder, while living in Texas and working in a very high stress job. She researched and self diagnosed as metal poisoning, thinking old dental fillings were the cause.
MD’s solution – anti depressants, sleeping pills and pain pills, until a rhemuatologist began more definitive testing and prescriptions of natural and compound pharmacy medicines which have produced improvement.
Could this be morgellans without fibers and lesions? She moved home, to Northern California as she is unable to work. Living with me and her Dad.
My symptoms – since reading about oil pulling while researching to help her, I started this practice. My face broke out bad, around my mouth first, spreading across cheeks to ears then moving up into my scalp. There are black seed-like things that come out eventually, but I thought it was black heads, maybe from detoxing caused by oil pulling. A few Black hairs, stiff which I thought were caused by hormone changes are appearing on my jaw line along with the skin eruptions. They continue to reappear after pulling them out with tweesers.
I read that baking soda works – so I tried it on my face as a cleanser and it seems to help. I use it as a tooth paste and I drink apple cider vinegar in large glass of water daily.
I do not have brain fog but experience neuropathy like pain in feet once in awhile. I feel crawling things in my nose and sometimes there are white things which I used to think were nasal run-off. Now I see they look the same every time, kind of like a tape worm and when I used baking soda as face cleanser, there was some nasal discharge that I pulled on (Sorry this is gross) and it seemed to stretch and a white head kind of thing was on the end. There were small and larger ones.
Again, I used to assume this was normal nasal discharge due to oil pulling but could it possibly be bugs being disturbed by the oil pulling and baking soda routine? They look the same every time.
Now itching on scalp and inside nose.

This is by far the best blog I’ve come across dealing with Morgellons. People are serious here. Not cruel. Helpful, caring. I’ve had symptoms of Morgellons since May 2006. Began with “white things” coming out of the skin, inflaming areas on my arms and legs. Moved to face, nostrils, ears, eyes, scalp, spine, feet. Just when I got quit freaking out about the weird white things and sores appearing here and there, blue “puff balls” started emerging, then red ones! (this usually after a shower when I’m applying lotion… and no, my towel was not blue or red!) Got “used to that” and then came the black specks to join in the feast of my body. (They sting/itch just prior to emerging… they come from unbroken skin usually.) Then came the sand-like particles, zig-zag black hairs, fine, nearly transluscent “moving” hairs (seem to be electrified!) Oh, and this… just prior to a storm, severe brainfog, extreme lethargy, itching, etc. The moment the rain bursts… it’s like a veil is lifted from my brain, my energy rebounds, and the itching is replaced with an exodus of strange things.
Tried so many things, many of the things already mentioned. One thing I’ll add… LISTERINE!!! Comb it thru your hair, spray it on your furniture, in the air, etc. (It obviously won’t poison you… you gargle with it anyway!) Key ingredient: Thymol Looked it up. It is an insecticide. Apparently a safe (and effective one.)
One more thought: On teeth eroding, on Listerine… I have wondered for a long time if this has something to do with plaque… if normal mouth plaque has gone awry, invading other areas of the body and creating an environment inviting to a whole host of fungal, viral and insects species. Does anyone else feel like flying insects gravitates toward them in lieu of “un-afflicted” people in the same vacinity?

I have been a Morgellon’s sufferer for over ten years. Recently, I discovered, quite by accident, something that is literally making it disappear from my body. I have experimented with various super baths, filling the tub with hot water and putting in things like lemons, baking soda, dish detergent, laundry detergent, alcohol, etc.
Well, one day about four months ago, I was filling the bath, and I was pretty dirty from housecleaning, so I put some Sun powdered laundry detergent with colorsafe bleach into
the water, just a tad, because it really cleans the skin. Anyway, I left the bathroom for a minute or two and heard a crash that sounded like one of my cats getting into something.
When I returned nothing seemed amiss, so I slid into the water for a soak. Everything seemed normal until the bubbles parted, and I got the sight of a Morgellon’s sufferer’s lifetime dream: those black and grey specks migrating out of my skin as fast as they could in droves from every square inch of my body!
And even as I saw that, I also noticed several large oblong things “dissolving” in the bottom of the tub. I picked one up, and it was an alfalfa tablet. Then I noticed the bottle
on the counter next to the tub was overturned, and about 25 of them had fallen into the water! They were the cause of the migration of all things Morgellon out of my skin in a fantastic migration for about an hour! Brown flecks, black specks, fibers, white patches of fibers drifted off the surface of my
skin like No Problema, see ya later, something I had never been able to accomplish with any other topical agent. The mighty alfalfa has since conquered Morgellon’s in my body. The scabs are gone, the fibers are history, the patches of fibers are all taped to a piece of wax paper and about to be sent off to a research lab that has requested them.
I am sending you my testimonial in hopes that other sufferers will at least know some relief from the scourge of the skin. Dandelion, the Flame Point Siamese cat, must be credited with this miraculous discovery. He is only three years old, but he’s a hero to his long-suffering Mommy!
I’ve done a little research on the mighty alfalfa, and apparently it creates an alkaline environment in the body in which things like cancer and other diseases cannot survive.
So, taking it internally can only be a good thing, also; but it’s the baths that made all the difference in the world for me. I also tried putting St. Johns Wort in the bath along with it, with even better results. And for some reason, using the Sun powdered laundry detergent with colorsafe bleach also
helps facilitate the migration of the specks.
God, I really hope this helps even one person as it has helped me. It has cleared up my symptoms so completely that I kept forgetting to post this information on the Morgellon’s websites! Thank you to God for this wonderful, freak discovery! Please spread this information far
and wide.

Note: The primary ingredient in this discovery was the laundry detergent with color-safe bleach. The bleach is an oxidizer similar to MMS. The boost from the alfalfa is not easily understood but clearly was helpful. Nano-bodies carried in the blood stream would be perfect targets for chlorine dioxide gas to destroy, so a four-drop dose of MMS taken internally would be a perfect compliment for this bathing process. Note also that MMS can be used in swimming pools and also safely in a bath tub. MMS is a water purifier first and foremost. For a tub one might mix a 40 drop dose of MMS for bathing (not drinking).

Hi pixma della… what is MMS? I don’t recognize the abbreviation.

Someone menthioned making collidal silver using AC adaptor. CS should be made with DC adapter or battery only. Using AC power will ionize the water witch will affect blood red cells and bone marrow causing cancer. He also mentioned using lake water, that’s why it gets cloudy. mineral in the water react chemicaly with silver (DC current helps) resulting in silver compounds (some of them harmful). Only use distilled water or rain water. Mixing with plastic spone or knife through the reaction will keep it clear. Holding the temp at 180 – 200 F will accelrate the colliding. You can use a glass jar in a hot water bath (a pot on the stove). When it’s done the color will be like beer. If you let the reaction continue it will turn dark red (so concentrated). Good luck to everybody.
