Morgellon's Disease

Danser · Dec 29, 2008

I have never been pregnant, but I think I do understand birth. I don't have to be a Morgellons victim in order to feel sympathy and compassion for those who suffer so terribly. At the end of the day, it does not matter what either of us say; what matters is what the Morgellons victims say. Let's not confuse the method with the results; Morgellons victims who take Nutrasilver heal. Period.

Antibiotics can work for some Morgellons patients, but only over a short period of time. If that sounds like a sales pitch, I am sorry. It is not. Someone paid for the antibiotics, right? Was that a sales pitch?

Did you go to the web sites and see for yourself? If you had, I would imagine that you would be responding a bit differently. There are dozens of MD's ND's and Nurse-practitioners who buy NS, use it themselves and sell it to their patients. Have a look; you will be pleasantly surprised.

Again, I wish you all the best and pray that a real cure for Morgellons will come soon.

Kindly,

Danser

Has the subject of Morgellons died down now or is it somewhere else. I am new and this is my first post. I have an interest in this illness because I see it also and wondered if there is any awareness happening that is actually helping those suffering.

I can sometimes tell when a person has it and they are not even aware of it yet, and those who are aware of it I have empathy for due to the way they are so mistreated in mainstream medicine. It is so sad. This is most definitely a new and emerging disease. In fact. I believe it has been here for some time and is more prevalent now. How, when there are so many people claiming to have this can it be so overlooked and toossed aside as a mental health issue. There may be some who go on the internet, see the disease and its symptoms and then claim to have it. But THOUSANDS? No way. Joni Mitchell the singer has it, and what about that Oklahoma baseball player. These people all need help but from who? Who is going to help them?

Thanks for listening.

Morgellons disease is a skin disorder that has not yet gained widespread acceptance that it actually exists. It is similar to scabies, which is a contagious skin disease in which parasites burrow under the skin and lay eggs. These parasites belong to the arachnid family. Some symptoms vary from one patient to another. Others, such as skin lesions and a "crawling sensation" in the skin are consistent. Areas of the body where the disease seems to be most severe are on the hands, behind the knees and arms, on the chest and back. Other common physical symptoms are rashes and pain that is similar to fibromyalgia.

Many patients have reported trouble concentrating and constantly experience fatigue. When affected areas are viewed under a microscope, many Morgellons patients have clusters of dark fibers beneath the unbroken skin. These fibers are not visible with the naked eye. These fibers frequently work their way out of the skin via the sores and lesions that accompany the disease. Unlike scabies, there are no parasites present when patients are tested. However, a recent study has found a microscopic parasite in some patients. This parasite is known to feed on algae, bacteria and decaying organic materials. They thrive in wet or damp surroundings.

The results are inconclusive as a cause for Morgellons disease. The Centers for Disease Control refers to it as an unexplained dermopathy. Many dermatologists and psychiatrists consider this a psychological disorder, rather than a physical disease. Medical doctors generally treat the condition by prescribing antibiotics, antifungals or herbal supplements. These methods are considered treatments rather than cures, as the symptoms return when discontinued. Colloidal silver has been marketed as an alternative medicine for this condition as well as many others, from fibromyalgia to E. coli. From a medical standpoint, there is no proven effectiveness for this treatment.

I'm so glad I found this! A classmate did a research paper on this disease last semester. Unfortunately, instead of actually explaining much about it in his presentation, he focused more on "these people are crazy and are making this happen to themselves"

In my mind, with the high numbers of people worldwide who claim they have this, it is absolutely ludicrous to say that so may thousands of people have DOP. As well, the high numbers speak for themselves when we hear that people have read about Morgellons on the Internet and then claim they have it. Many people see the signs and have the symptoms and then go on line to do a search which then leads them to Morgellons sites.

What happened? Was there a rally and thousands of people got together and said let us drive the dermatologists crazy? Plus, how can all these people be diagnosed with DOP when they have not had a single test done. As well, can a dermatologist diagnose DOP? Wouldn't it stand to reason that a Psychiatrist would indeed be the clinician to qualify for such a severe diagnosis as DOP? I mean this diagnosis is nothing to play around with and can have many serious implications on one's life in so many ways now days.

These people need help and the Medical Society whom they had once trusted has turned them away and I'm sure some are literally laughing at them, when even if this was DOP it is certainly not a laughing matter. These people cry for help and no one answers, or if they do hear an answer it is pure ridicule.

This article from Mayo Clinic certainly got it wrong.

In nearly 5 years of speaking with thousands of Morgellons sufferers, I find it impossible that these people, who have never met, could share the same delusional symptoms. These Morgellons sufferers are from every continent on earth and all seem to share the same 'delusions?' I don't think so. And explain how a newborn can have lesions having just arrived from a water environment?

Is this Morgellons baby also delusional?

I agree with you Danseer and I listened to a Dr. form Mayo doing a report on this so called research. He claims all they did was go to the file room and take charts off the shelf of people who have been diagnosed with DOP and this was how they chose their participants.

I'm not sure how many participants there were but I find it difficult to understand why some of them haven't spoken out in anger and mistrust; if indeed these were people who claim to have Morgellons. Something is wrong. Something stinks. This is a real valid disease. I have seen it also.

Your picture of the baby is disheartening. I think if the true nature of this illness does come out of the closet, the people who have it are not going to be surprised just where it came from.

I have my own thoughts but that's exactly what they are; just thoughts. But nothing about this illness makes any sense what-so-ever. I have never seen it on the cable world news channels. Sure I've seen the old videos at Youtube but that's it. When SARS, Chronic WAsting Disease, H!N!, or other diseases appeared, you'd hear about them almost everyday. It's almost like this is some kept secret, hoping all the sufferers will just go away.

Mayo clinic certainly did get this Morgellons-DOP diagnosis wrong. I took these pictures both before and after treatment (approx. 3 weeks time frame). How can I take pictures of delusions? And these?

Warning; these pictures are VERY GRAPHIC!

I have been dealing with Morgellons sufferers for nearly 5 years now. I average about 2 suicide preventions PER WEEK. These unfortunate people have severe cognitive issues, none the least of which is depression and suicide. These people do not want to die: they just want the pain to stop! You can read about my experiences here.

My heart goes out to these people who suffer so horribly:redbeathe and shame on the Medical Community, as a whole, for turning their backs on this deadly disease. :mad:

Yes, your pictures are graphic. I do not undertand how this can be ignored? I'll never understand it. I
