What???? why and who would replace our sky and c;ouds with "FAKE ones, normally I would assume this is absurd, but... with what I have been goint thru the last 3 years I might believe anything that could explain this mess!!!!!
daisybaleen <daisybaleen@...

Because of finding these fibers with my blacklight, i am focused on
these fibers coming out of the skin due to enviormental causes, and

I bet your daughter feels like her skin is suffocating when she put on the lotions - that is what mine did. And yes the low sugar/carb thing definately helps since you would be attacking it from the inside - I found relief from the itch with topical things but until you attack the root cause the cycle continues - None of these doctors understand it is coming from the inside.

Good luck

Hi everyone - Well, my daughter saw a prominent dermatologist
yesterday. When she told the doctor her sore/hair problem was
clearing up, the doctor said, "Good, because we don't believe in
Morgellons." The doctor also said that my daughter (who's been
taking antibiotics for several weeks now for a MRSA infection) had
been taking the antibiotics far too long -- and then proceeded to
prescribe an antibiotic ointment. When my daughter put it on, she
immediately got more of the little whitehead-type things she had
just gotten rid of! Black hairs included! If this thing is fungal,
antibiotics are NOT a good idea. I've been researching systemic/skin
fungal infections, and noticed Nizoral as treatment (which some of
you have recommended). I'm also wondering about the no carbs/sugar
suggestions -- this would be a yeast thing too, right? Since some
yeast/fungal infections go away by themselves, I'm hoping my
daughter's skin will improve now that she's stopped all antibiotics,
creams and otherwise. In the meantime, I bought her some Lotrimin;
Nizoral and Lamisil require a prescription, which would mean seeing
yet another doctor. Also, for fungal infections, many people have
success with Lactobacillus, or yogurt with live cultures. Fungus
thrives in hot, moist areas, and it's funny that my daughter got
sick during the awful, humid heat wave we had here. I'll keep you
posted; in the meantime, I continue to pray for all of you!

If I read that correctly, and they're outside, that could be one of a million other bugs.

sorry to hear anybody join these groups, but welcome, its good to
know you're not alone. My opinion is, cut out carbs and sugar and
see if you get relief. You may find that helps a great deal though
it may take a few weeks to notice. It will be worth your trouble!!
Good luck... k

Because of finding these fibers with my blacklight, i am focused on
these fibers coming out of the skin due to enviormental causes, and

-I am working with a proscope-tv 200x microscope my daughter got me
on ebay $99. When i itch, i tape the area one or more times til it
quits itching. I use clear packaging tape, and put the used tape on
a white piece of paper, and run the wand microscope over the tape
and view what i "caught " on the tv.
The itch turns out to always be fibers, usually black, somtimes-red
or blue, or what i call globs, blobs, logs or pods-(different shaped
gooy stuff with specks in them.) I am having success in using the
made for tv miracle aloe foot cream sold at walgreens $10. Im using
it anywhere on my body, and especially on my facial lesion that is
almost gone. The cream erodes the scar tissue! I put the cream on
and wait a few minutes, then remove the loosened layer with a
sideways movement of angled tweezers. I put the cream on my chin and
a pimple errupted after removing some dry skin. I put some baking
soda on it, and after a bit my lips got really itchy. It was so
strange and i found myself itching my lips with my teeth. Next, i
looked in the mirror and a fiber had emerged from the pimple. I got
it out, and looked at it with the proscope...it looked like a hair
with the naked eye, but under the microscope(appearing on the tv),
it was an irreguarly shaped length of what looked like plastic. With
it out...my lips quite itching.Because of research work done by a
group of folks in 2001, using a tube blacklight, i can see these
fibers in the house and vacuum them up(How to find mystery chemtrail
fibers by sue miller). I am making silver with a generator called
silvergen, and using that for skin and in the rinse cycle of the
wash. Best Buy store now sells a silver washing machine(silver ions
in the rinse cycle)to kill bacteria...but it costs almost $1000! In

I believe there are many sources of things that cause
many things that are similar to morgellons and have
many of the same symptoms. what i have been battling
is a form of skin mite. they are white, and make
lesions. i would often dig them out of my skins and
squeeze them between my fingernails. these things
would make legions, cause crawling and itching, make
fibers, and black pepper specks, salt like specks, and
lint balls. treating this infestation the same way as
ever other "form" of morgellons worked well for me. I
have lost 30 lbs, my skin is *almost* clear, i might
have 1 crawley a week now.... the only prob is my poor
poor hair. I stay away from furniture because
EVERYTHING lives in it. My battle started out as
scabies that I contracted when I moved into my fathers
house. My poor immune system caused a secondary
infestation with collembola springtail-- far worse
than scabies. these things reproduce in furniture, in
carpeting, even ceilings and walls. most of the time
the only true way to get rid of them is to gut the
house, rip out the carpetings, replace the
furniture.... the apt i am moving out of is a dump
that was recently bought by a new landlord, who will
probably rip everything out anyway. i steamed the
rugs with bleach once a week, and had everything in
plastic. these bugs of mine, fibers, ALL OF IT, live
and reproduce in furniture and carpet. blankets and
towels can be thrown in a washer-- i wash everything
in ammonia. now from what i have read here, some
variations of what some ppl have here will not respond
to ammonia or bleach. What i have, does. What I have
I think has been a bit easier to battle than what I
have read about here-- with me, the fibers I have
found seem to be secondary to the little white bugs,
and is not the fibers themselves that are the problem.
All i know is i am thankful to this list, and hope to
god each and everyone of you is able to beat this
thing. it truly is living hell. i have had this
almost a year, and constantly have to watch my son to
keep him in check. they are contagious, and a little
permethrin cream works well on him.

hi,Debbbie here, sorry you are going thru this,Im 45 andhave ben fighting this about 3 years, first stating wild itching on my abdomen, inside of my arms then legs, my legs would bleed when I scratched because there just was no relief!!! Of course if you have read any of these blogs you know we all suffer very similar symptoms!! I even spent time in the psych ward, my Doctor reluctantly... gave me a script for adivan in the ER one night...my daughter drove mw there, I was feeling "on fire" under my skin, and so exhausted, they had treated me with permetiem for that, that really started a reaction!!! I have been to dermatologists, allergist, psychiatrists....noone knows quite what to say. They know I am a college educated professional, they all say it is stress induced, my family has been thru hell with me!!!! I also beg people to itch my back...HARD lol!!! I even have used a small little garden rake (tiny) with the claws!!! My husband says a grown man could not stand the
scratching!!! I was recently re-married after 11 years on my own w/2 daughters come to think of it this started when I moved from my home into his!!!, something in the enviroment I bet some say its the well water....We also lived in a rural farming community, dairy...lots of agricultural spraying!!!! There are many theories, no one in my family has gotten this, not even my husband who slept in the same bed!!! we are currently separated living about 200 miles from eachother, at my insistence, I just coulnt handle all of this, I coulnt even undress in front of him, SEX...no way!!! I felt disgusting with all the sores and bleeding!!! I tell my daughters this is the new "lepersy"... so you are not Alone,,and I do tell the Docs ther is somrthing biting me,stinging too sometimes hive like bumps would appear... starting with intense itching!!! I also have depression...take Prozac,,,I found one good lotion called SARNA it has a cooling effect, the dermatolgist recommended this,
of course they also had me use a tar ointment!!!! I have gotten more relief taking the mega doses of Vit C garlic l-Lysine Vit b-12 and drinking the applecider vinegarw/water I am faithful to this every day, I also have a sray bottle with part peroxide/water and one with white vinegar/water I now dust with the vinegar also. aftewr a shower I sray myself with the peroxide spray. I had a bad lesion on my hip it appeared one day my daughter noticed it, and the black strand lke fibers in it, ugh!!! Ii had never seen that before, I used a Bleach/water combo on a wash cloth...It was gonein 3 days. I never thought my skin especially on my legs would look normal.. but today it does!!! for now, no itching and no sores!!! my skin is a bit rough and stays very dry so you have to hydrate!drink lots of water!!! I only drink distilled water(can buy at walmart). I am sorry to go onnnnnnn, but some of these remedies have made a big difference in my quality of life!!! and my mood, I was so
depressed, I bought a burial plot...made my daughter drive around the cemetary with me to see which was the nicest!!! I also had my will done and wroe letters to everyone I love, this "disease" had overtaken my life and was affecting everyone around me, I felt the best choice was to END it... I an so GLAD I did not go that way!!!! there is hope, My husband says he has been praying for me , and the church I attended for 15 years, so people knew me before all this stuff, and I was not the same person.I believe this has ben the largest part of healing, I do believe God hears our prayers and still heals today, I also belive he led me to this website through a segment on Good Morning America!!! I couldnt believe I wasnt the only one suffering with this. Something must kill these critters, I call them my dots...like the Nextel commercial I tell people...Dont aggitate my dots!!! Well, I hope you fing some relief like i did I keep a journal of everthing I have tried and how it
has worked,, God bless you and your kids,,,single motherhood is not easy, OH i also cuy out carbs and sugar.....and when I fall off the Carb wagon the horrible itching comes back!!!! Good Luck Debbie

well ive been reading everyones posts for about a week or so now...i
guess its time to introduce myself.im julie,a 35 yr old single mom
from indiana.im not sure if i have morgellons or not but i think this
is the closest i will ever get to anyone who may be able to
understand and completley sympathyze with what im going threw.
i guess about 4 1/2 yrs ago i developed itchy rough hands.
and extremely itchy skin.my hands would bleed when i scratched.
around the same time i developed a sore on my right ankle
in a spot that is scared over.it also bleeds and itches so bad i want
to cry.i have been to many doctors and like everyone else i cant even
get a biopsy.On another scar about an inch and a half above my ankle
a sore just recentley yet another itchy sore has appeared.
i have never untill now admitted to anyone breathing i feel like bugs
are biting me.
i have my kids itch my leggs,back and the tops of my feet...carefull
to not let em touch a sore.i tell them to scratch like they hate me...
lol...poor babies....when they make my back bleed is the only time i
get relief.
i have almost every symptom...depression...sores...i even saw a white
lint in my sore.the black specks i suspect are just dried blood.
the only symptom i dont have are the fibers.
at least ive never seen one that is.
the doctors have givin me cream after cream nothing helps.
i started using elidil on my hands about 4 months ago.
that seems to be helping them a little but the sores on my ankle...
just dont take to anything.
the doctors already think im crazy...lol...so to tell them im invaded
with buggs would do me in!!!
i itch all the time...so much ive nicknamed myself itchy.
i probably will never have normal skin.
but my kids dont have it thank God so i dont believe its
contagious...whatever it is.
ive read where some of you are clean freaks...i have never been.
im border line filthy but just when things get to the yuck stage i
manage to muster up enuf energy to clean...lol.
i keep myself and my children clean and do daily dishes the normal
but i could dust more thats for sure!!!
well i dont mean to carry on...just wanted to say hi and introduce
myself and hope i can fit in to this group.
thank you for reading this far any any suggestions would be
appreciated!!!

Sivani,
My heart goes out to you!! When I started seeing these things, being in the
medical profession, I immediately bought a cheap microscope and examined
EVERYTHING I could find with it. After a few days of this, however, I realized
that I was reaching the point of obsession....spending literally hours at a time
looking at fibers, black specks, and these SPARKLY geometrically shaped specks
from all over my body. I think we must ALL be VERY CAREFUL NOT TO LET THIS
FUCKING DISEASE CONSUME OUR DAILY LIVES. I was awakened with the thought that I
was spending more time worried about this bug, than I was about spending QUALITY
time with my daughter and son!! I was ashamed of myself.
I say I feel for you, because you can't be comfortable living the way that you
are, surrounding yourself with plastic, and it sounds like the precautions you
take consume every waking moment!! I figure you will NEVER get every, single
fiber out of your surroundings, and do you really think you have improved from
all the time you spend cleaning? Harvard did a study a couple of years ago
showing that children who are raised in dirty homes have MUCH stronger immune
systems than those who are raised in the home of an obsessively clean person
like me. It makes sense! So, I'm curious as to whether or not you feel that
your quality of life is worth giving up, and is your health any better because
of your constant worry, detection and hermetically sealed environment? Mine
seems to be better, not worse, now that I have relaxed. Any body else who has
thoughts on this becoming an obsession?

Dearest Debbie,

yes, we all know that this is real! hang in there...many have different ways of cleaning to get rid of these guys, but I dust with vinegar. and it seems to keep them pretty much dead. you find little dried out (so far for me just white) stuff; its getting less and less for me.

take care, k

hey, everyone I just read that book that came along with the ACV I got from braggs.com. wow! everyone should read this!!!!!!!!! its wonderful~!

hI, i HAVE SUFFERED WITH THESE BIZZARE ITCHING/SCRATCHING BLEEDING CREEPY CRAWLY SYMPTOMS FOR 3 YEARS NOW, I had been diagnosed with scabies, which it wasnt, after the pesticde treatment with permetiem cream my body went crazy!!!! i would itch my legs and huge sored would appear, my clothes bedsheets towels ect... were always covered in blood, I attempted suicide by an overdose of adivan because I just wanted some sleep!!! I spent 5 days in a psych ward talking to the wall!!! I was told it was delusional parasitosis even though my entire body was covered is itchy red sores and hive like bumps that the doctors could see I ended up with a $9000 hospital inpatient bill because my husband insurance refused to pay it, I have also spent thousands on allergists, dermatoligist, ceams, lotions, and UVB photolight therapy for 4 months 3x's per week nothing helped me, BUT
tried some of the home remedies such as MEGA doses of Vit C, garlic tablets and drinking distilled water with applecider vinegar, which many people do for weight loss!!! most of these suggestions are intended to give some sabbatical from the persistent horror we are experiencing!!!! MANY of these REMEDIES" have all but eliminated my symptoms of itching bleeding, hive like symptoms everywhere i can scratch, I no longer sleep all day because i cant sleep at night....There appear to be no medial"Professional" willing to do anything but label us as hysterical , delusional lunatics!!! I have had enough of doctors for awhile, I'll take my chances on a few home remedies that have given me the first relief in 3 years!!!! If you have better suggestions please post them. NOT DELUSIONAL DEBBIE [INLINE] krazycyberfool <Hartkingsley@...

My Dear Friends,
I want you all to know that I believe in each of you and suffer by your
side.
I have been "infected(?)" or "infested(?)" for just over 3 years and
like most of you I went through all the same steps and symptoms listed
including a few wierd ones that defy explaination. I fear some may be
going through these yet they refuse to report bizarre oddities past a
certain point since Doctors have already labled them just one step
short of the "rubber room").
I am VERY concerned about all the "home remedies" being advised here
(and elsewhere) because I know its tempting to try anything (even
gasoline and a match crossed my mind at one time).
My own ultimate solution was to simply realize that at this point
(until more is understood)that applying creams and drinking bitter
concoctions was not really helping anything..AND MAY EVEN BE HARMING
PEOPLE OR WORSE, ESCALATING THE SITUATION!
I speculated that since I did not know what I was dealing with perhaps
I could be helping create a worse ultimate problem unaware and that
although something might bring temporary relief it could have horrible
long-term effects that could even harm others by accidentally creating
a more viralent strain.
I decided that other than using aspirin, soothing cremes and antiseptic
on open sores that my best way of coping at this point (until a cure is
found.. hey even a defined and acceptable cause would be nice)would be
to use the power of the mind and the fellowship of other victims as my
primary medicine. In essence, I gave up my former "Dr. Frankenstein"
methods of self abusive research to adopt more of a "Dr. Einstien"
approach.
I have not given up...I simply tire of trying to solve a problem that
everyone admits is "un"solvable at this point... So, I continue to
educate myself and hear out everyone but I'm afraid I, Nor you my dear
friends, have enough real knowledge about this to trust making
ourselves sick in other ways while fighting this illusive "whatever it
is".
Have you not considered that this "unknown" is EVERYWHERE and even if
we somehow find a personal momentary topical relief that until it is
battled at a higher level and eliminated from the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT
that reinfection is not only possible ...it's PROBABLE!!!
I know some of you fear infecting others (thats just one of the
paranoid mental paradyms I keep hearing)but really folks... If this
thing is as wide-spread as it appears then turning yourself into a
reclusive leper and leaving spouses, children or whatever is only going
to add to the depression and solves NOTHING.
Lets look at this logically... I have seen evidence of this problem in
public rest rooms, laundrymats, buses, parks, supermarkets and even in
my own Doctors office... Now, since everyone you know has some form of
contact on a daily and consistant basis it comes down to this. YOU ARE
NOT THE PROBLEM. ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE DAILY EXPOSED TO "IT".
So, Those who get the symptoms WILL and perhaps those who do not are
somehow immune. I believe every human being right now is
infected ..just not all show the symptoms.. but this is just a theory
and so is anything you think up at this point (Do we not ALL have a few
theories regarding where this came from and what it is?)
The only two things to remember here are 1) at this point we have not
enough knowledge to combat this problem effectively at any level other
than temporarily and topically. Hopefully this will change after proper
research is done...but until you have a better understanding of science
and medicine you really have no way of knowing if your home remedy is
helping.. or worse, helping develop a "hybred" in the same way that
many bug sprays have become ineffective because the bugs become immune
to them. and, 2) You alone cannot solve this problem nor feel
personally responsible for it.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM... WHATEVER THIS IS IT IS IN OUR TOTAL
ENVIRONMENT.
Our only real hope is not in self medication and crazy home remedies (I
do not believe you are insane BECAUSE of this problem but it IS insane
to try and treat something you don't understand with whatever you find
around the house and become obsessive in your fear of it).
ANY HOPE is ONLY in EDUCATION of those in medicine and science and
creating PUBLIC AWARENESS of what we do know and can prove. If you
want to be a test subject then find someplace where REAL RESEARCH is
being done and results can be properly viewed, validated and confirmed
to benefit society rather than just to personally feel better.
If we want this taken seriously we must spend less time secluding
ourselves with our radio shack microscope and rubbing peanut butter
(and God knows what else) all over our skin and become active in simply
relating the evidences and making ourselves publically active. We must
see this not as just a personal problem but as something effecting the
whole of society.. (even if "they" don't yet realize it)
THIS PROBLEM EXISTS.. WE WHO ARE HERE KNOW THIS because we are aware
that we share the same EXACTING (YET ODD) symptoms and(if you are like
me) did not realize others were effected until we happened across some
media report or web-site by accident.
We must help others to take us seriously by coming together and
demanding that WE WANT ANSWERS NOW!!!..WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS AND
WHO (if anyone) IS RESPONSIBLE!
As an aside: If this is found to be industrial or caused by the
Government we MAY be able..as a group...to recover medical and other
damages if such can be proved and pinpointed to a definative
source...So, research is essential even if no "cure" is found because I
don't know about you but my medical bills are astronomical and my pain
and suffering beyond description.
If we are all insane than it's "epidemic insanity" and that's a problem
that should be of some concern. So either way.. Real or Imagined it
should be studied seriously for certainly whatever the problem is..ITS
TOO REAL (AND SIMILAR) TO BE WRITTEN OFF AS JUST CHANCE.
MY NEW MOTTO IDEA:
"MORGELLONS: THE ANSWER IS IN PROPER 'EDUCATION'...NOT ABUSIVE SELF-
MEDICATION!"

I totally agree with you. I have theories that it is contagious so I have
considered going to work somewhere that I am in constant contact with the
public, possibly a food service type business, maybe it will spread and
people will start to take notice. I have also considered writing
www.morgellons.or on the windows of my vehicle and advertise, If I had the
funds I would take out a bill board about this nasty crap. I use my
insurance to the fullest extent and go to every doctor within a 50 mile
radius of me, so what if they think I am crazy at least they are now aware
it may possibly be true and it has a name (at least that we call it).
Debs

hi, yes, I am avoiding upholstered furniture, but as i sit at my computer, on my hardwood floors, on my leather chair.... I just noticed a single cobweb that formed from the speaker to the steel pole of the computer desk, the sun is shining just right, and i see a very small hairlike fiber just twisting up and down the cobweb it is turning and spinning like a tiny snake, there is no breeze and it is not my imagination!!!! Am I crazy or is this really possible that this tiny fibers, barely visible have a whole life/universe of their own and we just get in the way????!!!! I cant believe what i am watching!!!! Is there a away to clean this I think I will wear a mask and gloves!!! Any suggestions??? dont be cruel this is real!!!! Debbie

Are you all avoiding all upholstered furniture and carpeting because the fibers on them get into your skin? What about towels? Thanks.

Sivani Asbury-Bhardwaj <sarsha@...

Good luck to you sweetie, on your cleaning. Since my
battle, I have such an aversion to upholstered
furniture and carpeting, I won't own furniture. Too
much stuff lives in it. I hate carpeting too, but
every place has it, so not much can be done about
that. I am getting ready to move into a new
apartment. It is unfurnished. Me, I am a person who
moves around a lot anyway, and being someone with
little money and no way to move furniture myself, this
latest thing with "the bugs" just makes it to where I
will no longer own furniture of any kind. I am the
queen of plastic. The place I am moving from has
furniture, and it has been covered with plastic. The
new place with no furniture, basically will be plastic
on the floor, and a blanket or bedroll covered in
plastic. It's a pathetic way to live, but by
eliminating as many possible sources of infestation,
it might make getting rid of this a little easier and
faster... me, Im 99.9% healed, so we shall see...

Hi, although my doctor has not diagnosed me as bi-polar, because i do suffer from a long history of clinical depression, and i have a degree in Psychology also he has been reluctant to say i am bi-polar I have been told I was delusional and all my itching sores, and bleeding skin is self-inflicted!!! I would dare say that any doctor suffering this themselves would also suffer from some degree of depression, also one does not want to to leave the house very often, so now they are worried I am becomming agoraphobic!! I just dont wish to be seen in public looking like this, but things are getting so much better, I faithfully take my vit c I have cutout 90% of sugar and carbs, and i drink my vinegar/water every day....no itching and legs have cleared up completely...some hives if i go out in the sun or get sweaty!! but all together I feel so......much better, I am craving icecream with chocolate sauce tonight!!!!! a NONO take care, Debbie

I have a question for you all. Has any of you been diagnoses with being Bi-polar?

Hey,
Does anybody else feel like "things"? are "spraying" or flying off of themselves constantly?
I had a really difficult time accepting I was not contracting Morgellons from my environment, but I was contaminating my environment. I am the source, not the peanut butter, not my bedsheets, not my loved ones. Although, I suspect, cotton and everything else was a possible source for my initial infection. Some how something from my infection got in the peanut butter, the loaf of bread, the dishwasher, and the laundry I worked so hard and tried so many different steps and products to get clean. I started wearing a shower cap and rubber gloves all the time I was in my apartment. I even wore gloves and shower cap to bed.
I haven't done that since December. It used to be the floor around me was littered with tiny threads or worms and strange specks that glittered. My many symptoms and pains and depression are not completely gone but are tolerable today. I still drink Apple Cider Vinegar every day. Lately, whenever I feel an itch or a crawly "thing" I spray the area with saline wound wash.
Anybody using saline spray?
Apple cider Vinegar?
Gloves and hats?
Ciao John

Where can I get this? Is it healing lesions on the skin? I am not going
bald, and I don't have lesions on my scalp. Thanks Barbara

I smeared peanut butter on my arm to see just what it would remove. It
was filled with black specks right away.Under the microscope many
specks of something were present. BUT...on second thought i checked
peanut butter right from the jar(skippy creamy), and it is full of
black specks already....so either that is a nutrient present, or the
peanut butter has morgellons. Thankfully, it wasnt coming out of my
skin.

I often do this with the shampoos I use too; its wonderful...I even grew back some of the hair that I lost.

kk

u can also put the Nizoral on your skin and leave on for 10 min , then rinse off. If you r using it for the 1st time you can leave it on overnite, (scalp and skin ) then use daily .

Hi, im glad you are going to check, because if you do find them in
your home, as i have...they can be dealt with. If they are in the home
and not reduced, my observation is that they break into many small
pieces, become airborn and land on our bodies and enter the skin
pores, or are inhaled..resulting in our bodies doing all the work to
get them out. I hope you dont find them, but, if you do let us know
and you have all our support and encouragement in helping your
daughter. My daughters room was full of these fibers, and her clothes
covered with them. She doesnt want to deal with it, so i would clean
it up when she was out of the house. Now, she has moved on to become a
physicians assistant, and i am persistant in telling her what i am
learning, but it is difficult to present a nightmare to our loved
ones, especially the upcoming generation with all of lifes hopes and
dreams brewing. Its a very sad situation and i wish it would "just go
away", and perhaps it will because of folks on this board who are
finding answers and bringing it all to light. Keep the faith and God

Hi Amy, thats great news, thanks for finding out!!! I was
experiementing last night with the made for tv miracle aloe foot
cream(walgreens$10). I put it on my face and it brought stuff to the
surface, then i added baking soda and let it lift what seams like a
layer of "super glue", then "raked "it off my face with a cool
tool...a plastic tongue cleaner, rinsed with a spray bottle of
distilled water, then sprayed on sovereign silver. My skin feels
really soft, and the leathery look and large pores are smoothing
out....but also more bumps are visable as though these things hide
under layers of this glue. Aside from the nightmare of this, i feel
like im in jr high again, hanging out in front of the mirror doing
facials. Busy raising 4 kids i had given up on finding who borrowed
my makeup, and gaveup on ever wearing it again. Now, removing layers
of years of itchy stuff that would "go away",i see that it just went
below the surface. Once these facials do the job of removing and
healing....what do you think will be the best way to protect the
skin from more of this (i believe it is an enviormental
contaminant)? Ill try some peanut butter tonight...but how do you
apply the gum idea? I had even wondered about trying "silly putty". -

Guess what Easily gets "them" out of the surface area of your skin?????

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!

- Just like it does chewing gum....

It sort of loosens em up & "they" roll right out!!!!!

(Pretty messy though!)..

(Must be the OIL in it :)

Give it a try .................

Take Care my Friends,

Hi, I live in the central Ny area(Syracuse) previously Rochester area, i have found no medical Professional??? who wants to address this, its as if THEY are all in denial, I have been hopitalized in a psych ward, as I accidentlly took a whole bottle of ativan..needed some sleep deparetly!!! The doctor there said I needed to see Dermatology, from there i was told it was SELF INFLICTED!!!! OK??? then I started on a schedule of uvb photlight therapies 3 times per week at Strong memorial hospital, at about 100.00 per week I did this for about 3 months until I just did not have the enegy anymore to get there!!! also, it did not seem to help alot. They said this would kill bacteria under the dermis??? anyway I found a good lotion called Sarna, available in almost any drug store, it has a calming cooling effect on the itching for awhile, Ive had mor luck with the vitamin C and the applecider vinegar w/water therapy than anything else. I use a spray mist of hydrogen peroxide and
water after I shower, on the few lesions i do get i have resorted to a spay mixture of distilled water small spray bottle and about 1 cup of regular bleach..right on the lesion I had a nasty one on my thigh that cleared up almost as fast as it appeared!! I dont know if this is safe but, it worked for me .My legs have all but cleared up and the intense itching and burning and hive like symtoms have greatly dissapated!! I can even sleep through the night with no drugs!!! I feel very blessed tohave found this website with so many wonderful people and wonderful tips!!! it has made a great difference in my life!!! Doctors are not always the answer and they sure dont have the answers to this bizzare disease!! I am no longer looking for a doctor to help me Im HELPING MYSELF and perhaps some others along the way!!! Good Luck, try some of the remedies on this website, I am feeling almost "NORMAL" again, DEbbie [INLINE] [INLINE]

Hi Daisy - I don't have a blacklight, but can probably
borrow one - the fibers are fluorescent, right? I've
never seen an actual fiber in a sore on her, only the
black hairs that come out of the bumps. The hairs
aren't anchored in there, they almost push their way
out (she helps). Once the bumps form, if she just
leaves them they really start to bother her. Thanks
for the tip. - Karen

Hello folks. I have really benefited from the fellowship and advice
of group members. Myself, I would hope I do not have this affliction,
however ALL the symptoms match. Myself I am otherwise miserable:
Been to four dermatologists who have diagnosed me with everything from
alopecia areata, tricholtomania(sic), dellusions. Have an interesting
story but i am sure it is quite like everyone else's experinces.
Never been to the psych ward, never had dellusions... Yes the symptom
set is hard to believe. However, when caught in the middle of this
nightmare, there is no wishing away open lesions that won't heal,
strange granulomas and threadlike material exuding from cysts, itching
completely unresponsive to Benadryl and strong cortisone, havign a
full head of hair that vnnished over of the course of several
months....It may be "In our heads"... Just had a Lyme test on
Sat...Waiting for the results...However moreso LITERALLY than
figuratively....SOMETHING IS HAPPENING....
Let I digress...If anyone knows of ANYONE (Dr., Nurse, etc.) who may
be rsponsive to considering our situation im my area, please advise.
I live in New Jersey but would easily travel to New York City or
Philly? Most have heard nothing of this situation and when I bring
anyone more credible artics they roll their eyes and say my condition
is outside of their scope.
Thanks much for any suggestions.

I agree with your warning regarding salt Rita, people with high blood pressure have to be extremely careful with salt. And I have noticed there is alot of people with HBP and probably several that have no idea that they may be borderline high or high - there is no symptom - it is a silent killer.

Take care,

Kimi

I believe Vitamin C works for me but I don't know if salt works for
anyone and I fear salt can be dangerous for some. Has anyone tried
salt, alone, and has it worked? Please be careful with salt.

hi, yes sweat definitely seems to make me worse, or being in the sun, I have told my husband that i feel like i am allergic to myself!!!! So, its funny you mention that!!! I have had the whole battery of food and pet allergy tests, I do have a smll doggie a 2yr old poo-pom, Several people mentioned that this sees to have started when I got my doggie??/, But I went to Florida to stay with my sister for 2 weeks and I actually got worse there, I didnt take my dog, I think I have had this for a lomgtime, but something enviromental set this off, some chemical or some irritant, or perhaps a weakened immune systm can no longer hold the synptoms at bay, I get the suddend Hive like itcy raised bumps, mostly on my arms now, but they can appear anywhere, I have what appears to be really dry skin, it leaves white marks if you scratch it I also have small white raised nodules on my arms and hands almost like pimples, but they arent pimples, those dont itch, they just look strange.
Someone said that Scope mouthwash (blue) helps her itching.. worth a try????I just think this is a bizzare illness, but there has to be some common reason, we all suffer such similar symptoms...Perhaps the recent media attention will help that!!! In the mean time, I believe that God is healing this...He said he would and he does not lie, I have had much prayer and I believe it has made a difference, I am no longer hopeless I pray your daughter will not have to suffer with this for much longer, I could not bear to see either of my daughters go through this I would rather it be me.Try not to loo

Hi - Debbie, you mentioned that air conditioning helped. My daughter
will be doing OK, then she'll try to exercise -- and when she sweats
her skin starts to act up again (hives and worse). She seems to be
violently allergic to her own sweat, and I'm wondering if this is a
symptom also? I would love to have a/c here, but we're near the beach -
- and in an apartment. Sometimes I want to just pack her up and get
her into a nice, cool hotel room, with clean, white sheets, HBO, and
room service! Does anyone know if environmental contamination has been
looked into? Like mold or mildew? Family pets? Please bear with me,
this is new for us -- I'll run out of questions eventually!

-Finding these fibers is scary, but can be vacuumed up and cleaned
up with tape....I have found these fibers anchored into my sores,
but just checking once a day and removing them helps tremendously.
Be brave and check...You asked...
How To See Mystery
Chemtrail Aerosol Filaments
By Sue Miller
aka 'Looookinup'
smillernc@...
8-2-3
The unusual phenomena being described here -- and at various
Chemtrail/Aerosol Activity Boards -- is being called by different
names. 'Aerosol polymer filaments and webs' (Mike Castle @Rense).
Chemtrail fibers; microfilaments; 'sky-webs''; chemtrail fall-out;
electrostatic filaments; CT particulates; perhaps
even 'Morgellon's'. "I like the term 'fibrils' as it implies a
synthesized microfiber with conductive properties." (Moondog @
Carnicom).
But whatever they end up being called (personally, I lean
towards 'CT-UV fibrils' -- has a nice ring), they are REAL and
OBSERVABLE.
See for yourself -- it's simple...
These CHEMTRAIL/AEROSOL/ UV/ FIBRIL/ FILAMENTS are very easy to
observe under the right conditions.
To actually WITNESS these filaments covering you, and your children,
your pets, your home, your plates, your pillow and your possessions
can be very shocking.
They are all over us.
They are floating in the air.
They are entwined in all that extra 'dust' you have been wiping up
lately throughout your home...and the 'dust' on your car.
They are clogging your A/C and furnace filters.
They are landing on your food between the plate and your mouth.
We are all wearing them, eating them, drinking them, breathing
them...
And they are virtually INVISIBLE -- EXCEPT under ultraviolet light.

Hi, So far no one in my family seems to suffer any of the symptoms that I do, thank God, I had terrible lesions on my legs that itched terriblely and would bleed everywhere, I wore long sleeves and long pants even in the summer!!!, Since I found this website, I have tried the applecider vinegar w/water 2times a day, the mega doses of vitamin c garlic pills, vitamin e, a spay bottle of white vinegar and distilled water, i spray this on when I itch, after a shower I also spray (mist) myself with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water, I also do not drink tap water anymore, I buy distlled water at walmart... not expensive, all these things have helped alot!!!! my legs are cleared up, maybe a few spots that resemble mosquito bites, I als cut out sugars and carbs, as advised here, it also has made a big difference, when I dont do these things I go right back to being very uncomfortable!!! I am 45, and cant imagine being 19 witth this horrible stuff. I have been
diagnosed as delusional, and self-inflicting this on myself!!!!! Why would anyone want this???? anyway, surf these sites, I try most of the suggestions and I keep a daily log of what I have tried, and what seems to help, if smething doesnt help i cross it out, keep trying at it, we have to help eachother,and ourselves, as the mainstream medical community cant or wont help us, God bless, and good luck with this.

Hi - I've joined for my daughter, who has recently shown symptoms. She
was told she has staph, but it's hanging in there, and she has
symptoms that sound like Morgellons. No lesions with fibers, but
blemishes that expel what looks like pus, then black hairs (has to rub
to accomplish this). No itching, but pain at site of blemish --
usually around joints. Breakouts on arms, legs, forehead/scalp. I'd
appreciate any feedback. Complications are low-end health insurance,
doctors who've never heard of it, and diet problems. Any helpful hints
in addition to vit. C, lice shampoo and salt? Any evidence of being
contagious? Any words of hope? She's afraid to even leave her room;
she's only 19 and deserves better (like all of you). Thanks for
anything you can tell me.

Rita, I am trying it now. I can not take C as I am very sensitive to
it. I have been taking a PH balancer from "Innerlight" that is Sodium
chlorite ion 5% and I think it has helped, but I also think that salt
will be beneficial.
Will let you know. Blessings, Pat

thinking along the Magnets Hematite stones treatment
for this Morgellon bug. I know these stones do great things,
such as not letting kidney stones form. I see where someone
useing some sort shock device.These stones send tiny
shocks into body.One can not feel the tiny shocks. I should
know, I been wearing them for yr. now. They sure have
improved my health. The site where I get mine and hubby
and my friends I want help. htt://www.geocities.com/cornellecreations
and no is the answer, I do not own this, its just the best I found.
Pretty also.

Lets start with what DE actually is. DE is not earth at all but
silica
mined from deposits left behind from long dead lakes, we're talking
millions of years, and crushed into a whitish powder. The silica was
actually an outer shell formed on diatoms as a natural protection. As
these diatoms (a form of algae) died, their silica shells sank to the
bottom of the lake and eventually formed rock formations.
DE is very light weight because it contains many voids in its
structure. It
is the edges of these voids which act on insects and most worms
lacerating
their outer outer covering or skin. As a result the parasite
dehydrates
and dies. These same voids make DE very absorbant so they can carry
away
much residue and it is claimed many toxins as they are passed from
the
body.
Diatoms are still around today in virtually all surface water and
they are
also found in constantly damp soil or soil which is frequently wet
or damp
for extended periods of time. There is a theory that this is the
reason
that dogs and many other animals including humans will intentionally
eat
dirt.
From a commercial standpoint there are two basic forms of DE, That
which is
labeled and sold as a pool filter additive. You definitely do not
want to
use this product to treat any animal. Pool filter grade DE has been
heated
to the point of melting causing it to become very crystalline and
therefore dangerous to inhale or consume. The other type of DE (the
kind
you want) fresh water, amorphous DE. There are basically two grades
of
this form of DE. One si referred to as agricultural, garden or
insecticide
DE. The other is called "food grade" DE. I personally see no reason
for
paying extra for the food grade stuff because I've seen no evidence
that
it is in any different from the agricultural grade other than the
producers pay the Codex to certify their product as food grade. Many
will
disagree on this point. But, as I said, I have yet to see any proof
that
it is superior in any way.
Many will argue with me on this next point as well but we all have
our
opinions. In all my research I have been unable to find any danger
from
inhaling DE dust. Of course inhaling any dust in sufficient
quantities is
harmful, but common road dust is considered to be far more harmful
than DE
dust. I mention this because DE is also very helpful in keeping
one's pets
free of fleas, lice, ticks, etc. by applying it to their coats be
they
feathers or hair. DE can also be used to treat bedding and carpets
and
then vacuumed up after it has done its work.
Now about dosage: Small dogs, puppies, and cats should be given
about a
teaspoonful a day when treating for internal parasites. Large dogs
and
humans should use about 1 tablespoonful a day. We all get a
tablespoonful
a day here. For birds, DE can be mixed with their feed and/or placed
on
the ground or cage bottoms to keep external parasites at bay. If
mixing
with food for birds all that is needed is that which clings to the
food.
DE is widely used in the storage of grains and corn to prevent insect
invasion. This DE does not have to be removed prior to processing
even for
human consumption, so we all get small amounts in our corn flakes.
DE is
also used in things like multivitamins and cosmetics,
DE has other benefits as well, such containing numerous trace
minerals. DE
acts as an effective colon cleanser as well.
I hope this has answered some of your questions and perhaps provided
some
additional information. If you have more questions pleas feel free
to ask.

I have recently tried the high dose vit c and salt. it went well until I got to a point where I was taking 4 1000 mg of vit c tablets 3 times a day, and my blood sugar went way up and stayed there until I decreased my vit c dosage. I did experience a big kill doing this. btw, I have had this for many many years.

I intend to try again with a different brand of vit c. it does state that there is no sugar in the tablets but if not why would I suddenly have a huge increase in my blood sugar if there wasn't sugar there? btw I hadn't eaten anything else so it was not my diet that day or the previous day either.

please keep us informed, I am very interested in whether this protocol will help. kk

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck with the new Vitamin
C, I hope it helps. Honestly, the fact that it has worked for you at all is
encouraging -- my mom has tried so many things that gave her hope,
and then it just stops working after a while.
My mom said she thinks she feels "them" behind her eyes now, and
has been pulling worms/threads/fibers out of her nose recently. I have
yet to see the fibers on myself, but I am certain they are there. I really
don't know if my psyche can tolerate seeing them with a magnifying
glass or microscope just yet. My mom and I both get those terrible
sores in our noses as well. I haven't had too many lesions, but am
afraid to even speak that out loud, as we all know it seems this
disease can almost read your mind. As soon as you have the
thought, "Hey, it seems to be improving ..." it suddenly gets worse.
anyway, thanks again. I'll let you all know how the vitamin C and salt
works for my mom and I.

Hi group ... I have posted a couple of times in the past, mostly in
response to the toads who post messages here about all of us
being "crazy". Thought I'd post a question, and a little info about my
own trials and tribulations so far as well:
Has anyone tried the suggestions from this site, with the massive
doses of vitamin C and the salt tablet regimen? My mom has had this
for 13 years, and she ordered some salt tablets, and plans to give it a
try when they arrive. I'm planning to order some salt tablets on
Tuesday when I get paid and try it myself!
Until this past June, I had been able to stave off periodic episodes of
itching and bites and crawling sensations with various insect
infestations products. I still use safesolutions "Lice R Gone" shampoo
and "Tangles R Gone" conditioner. They're pepperminty and
refreshing, and as luck would have it, they make my hair look great. :)
But more importantly, I use the shampoo to wash every inch of me, not
just my hair, and it does help quite a bit with the itching/biting/crawling
sensations. And the peppermint gives you a feeling of cleanliness,
even if just for a little while. I also use their peppermint cleaner in the
wash -- I wash my son's clothes, my fiance's clothes, and my clothes
with it, even though they have never exhibited any symptoms. I am
extremely fortunate that my fiance is not one of those people who
thinks I am a total nut. I can't imagine going through all this and having
to fight with him about it as well.
Also, as to the lowering the carbs and sugar idea -- I have been dieting,
and then had a giant, delicious piece of cake at work last week, and I
noticed that within 30 minutes my skin began to crawl and itch. It was
horrible, particularly because I was still at work during the worst of it. I
also began drinking a "Beck's Light" beer every day after work a while
back (for those of you who have tried Weight Watchers, you know this
is because Beck's Light is only one point ...) to wind down and relax at
night. Typically, I only drink an occasional beer with sushi or pizza.
But I began to break out in horrible bumps all over my forearms and
legs (shins, calves, knees, and it began crawling up my thighs as well),
and noticed the itching/biting/crawling became much worse. At first I
thought I was having an allergic reaction, but I now think it was likely
beer (or rather the carbs/sugar from the beer) aggravating the
Morgellons symptoms. After a few weeks I quit drinking it entirely, and
about 7 days later, the bumps were almost gone. Of course, the
itching, crawling, biting, and stinging remain, just not quite as bad.

LOL the Lord bless you all. Pat

May the Lord bless you Franky.

According to Dr. William Harvey (chairman of the NASA Education Advisory Committee) 94% of people suffering from Morgellons have tested positive for the bacteria associated with Lyme disease, or Borreliosis.

You might want to visit here morgellons message board There are people talking about their morgellons storys

My name is Rob McConnell, the host of The 'X' Zone Radio Show and
last week we did a 4 hour special on Megellons Disease and we had
Cliff Mickelson, Charles Holman, Cindy Case, Dr Gregory Smith, Judy
Smith, Greg Vigil and from Australia, Gillian Penkethman - if you
would like to hear the archive of the show, you can visit www.xzone-
radio.com/august2006.htm - the date of the show was Thursday, August
10, 2006.
The show was heard on our broadcast affiliates in the US, Canada and
the Caribbean, Central America, South America and the Pacific Rim as
well as our internet streaming audio feed.
First of all, I would like to say that as a member of the media, I
believe it is my responsibility to get the information about
Morgellons out to the public.
Second, I have been asked by a Canadian magazine to write an article
about Morgellons Disease. This magazine is sold across Canada.
If you are a Mogellons Disease victim and would like to have your
story told, please send me an e-mail to xzone@....
We have also put up a Morgellons news and information site at
www.xzone-radio.com/morgellons.htm and would appreciate any links
that you feel people with Morgellons or people looking for
information on Morgellons would be able to go to, please send me the
links and we will put them on the site.
I look forward to your replies.
All the best,

What a great job getting all this info linked together in one place.
That UK article was very interesting. Also, I was really pleased to
see your suggestion that there is a place focus on the things that
really help so that when people are searching, they find more than the
horror but also some hope, what a good positive approach.
Thanks again. I don't know how I could contribute, still work out of
the house 5 days a week, but if I can, I'd be happy to.

What if......the illnesses below all have the same root cause?
What if......that root cause is untreated Lyme?
Do you realize what this would mean?
Is the world experiencing a silent pan-demic?
Could untreated Lyme also be the root cause of Morgellons?
Lyme is not contracted by tick bite alone, there are other insects that carry it. Also, it can be passed from mother to child in-utero.
Check out this site:
http://www.canlyme.com/

This is a quote from the Canadian Lyme site:

"Many Lyme patients were firstly diagnosed with other illnesses such as Juvenile Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Infectious Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Raynaud's Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Interstitial Cystis, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Fifth's Fisease, Multiple Sclerosis, scleroderma, lupus, early ALS, early Alzheimers Disease, crohn's disease, ménières syndrome, reynaud's syndrome, sjogren's syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, prostatitis, psychiatric disorders (bipolar, depression, etc.), encephalitis, sleep disorders, thyroid disease and various other illnesses.
Early onset symptoms are fever, malaise (a vague feeling of bodily discomfort or unwellness, possibly nausea), fatigue, headache, muscle aches (myalgia), and joint aches (arthralgia). Many do not get these early symptoms and their first signs may be tingling/numbness, weakness in muscle control, tremors/tics, optic disturbances, memory deficiency (usually short term memory) psychiatric presentations, periods of unexplained anger/rage, headache, neck pain, spinal tenderness, lower back pain, neurologic defined pain/sensations such as hot/cold, either surface or deep, or other such neurologic disorders which then progress to or are
combined with disturbances of other other systems in the body such as cardiac, musco-skeletal, sinus, jaw/teeth (TMJ) see symptoms. Coinfections may bring a mix of their own symptoms and testing issues.^2 "

I am happy to see that happen Rita - everyone has enough to deal with without having someone like him blasting off about something he knows nothing about - Bravo

...if I am a sufferer or not. I have, for several years now, had
trouble concentrating, joint pain, and small, very stiff, white
hairlike projections which appear in my skin. I can pull these things
out, but they come right back in less than a month. I also have sores
in those places periodically.
I'm a nursing student, and suffer from type 1 diabetes, and am a
paraplegic as the result of a spinal cord injury five years ago. I've
been looking into Morgellons since seeing the piece on the telly last
night. It seems to me that the "threads" could be produced by excessive
uric acid in the blood (akin to gout). This would also explain the
pain and poor memory or mental fuzziness. The various blue and red
hues could arise from billirubin or billiverden build up.
At any rate, I plan to see my physician about this, and demand
that he take this seriously. Thank you for any help you can offer.

This is a place to put any leads or thoughts out to those posting
there. Nan

There is no "snake oil" salesperson here. I just found something that helped me and there are many out there suffering. It is your choice if you want to try this as well. I simply gave you the information. What you do with it is up to you. I didn't add what I was doing on the site because there are many sites that restrict anyone recommending a product. I used the USANA Reset program which cleanes the body of Toxins and Free Radicals that we have that "clog" ups the system Then I continued with their maintenance program which took away any craving for sugars and carbs etc. The vitamins because they are so potent, give me a lot of engery and balance the diet three weeks later I was free of the symptoms that had haunted me for 38 or more years. . Like I said I found something that worked for me 100%. It may help some others. I was not claiming this is a cure but since it has completely erradicated the sores I had and stopped the itching. I wanted to share the
information becasue it made a difference in my life

Debbie, happy birthday to you, God bless you for your fight, and for
all you have shared, your new found hope sparks with power for all
in solving this mystery! Thanks to wesley wagner post, to fight this
and deal with hurricane katrina is beyond imagining.And to the lady
who has found relief after 38 years! It is truely amazing how
intimidated this mystery can make us, yet how powerfully each
persons story of their battle blesses us. Thanks again to Rita for
hosting this, and to all who offer their suggestions, it has been a
great strength to me to continue on the path i find myself on. For
me i came thru the back door, so to speak, finding this article on
mystery chemtrail fibrils and seeking to disprove it, and finding my
home full of it. After using sovereign silver to heal my dogs skin
afflictions, i sought to find what in the world was on them...and
discovered the mystery skin disease fit what i was seeing. When my
kids gave me the pro-scope microscope for mothers day, little did i
know that would lead to bringing to the surface the 9 year old sore
on my face...which without the microscope, i would never have known
was layer upon layer of fibers. In trying to define what i was
seeing and sharing it here...i found the strength to continue. When
i saw similar fibers watching the silentsuperbug video i was really
scared. It is now 7 weeks of using baking soda on my skin, and in
particular...to continue to get to the bottom of the old face sore.
It no longer has fibers coming out of it, but a small crater with a
coil of white, that when ,lifted by the baking soda application,
replaces itself. Each night i reapply the soda, then wash it with a
spray of distilled water, and put silver on a bandage and cover it
for the night. Each day it looks smaller, and the rossette shaped
scar around it looks thinner by layer. In the mean time, using the
soda in rinse in the shower, has gradually made my skin go from
looking alligator like, to soft, but has now revealed other areas of
rash or bumps, so, this make take some time to reverse...but, at
least uncovered i know what im dealing with. Because of finding the
fibers in my enviorment with the blacklight, i check my face once
each night , using the blacklight, and usually there are some of the
glowing blue fibers on the surface, or some orange glowing specks. I
take those off with tape. Last night i found one single 1/4th inch
fluorecent fibril anchored into my healing face sore crater,
standing straight out. Beyond the range of emotions of dealing with
this nightmare, is the question of exactly where i ran into this
fiber, on the hike, at the store, or lingering in my constantly
being cleaned up violated by these man made fibers home. And exactly
what was this fibers plan concerning the spot on my face? Would it
go into the sore, was that its goal?And if so, exactly why? Needless
to say, my focus is to remove all this shit from my life, so i put
the small vacuum attachment on and the fiber actually resisted for a
moment...then was gone. When this article below was posted by other
folks research, suggestion was made that it may relate to
morgellons. It is hard for me to dissagree after what i have
witnessed.
How To See Mystery
Chemtrail Aerosol Filaments
By Sue Miller
aka 'Looookinup'
smillernc@...
8-2-3
The unusual phenomena being described here -- and at various
Chemtrail/Aerosol Activity Boards -- is being called by different
names. 'Aerosol polymer filaments and webs' (Mike Castle @Rense).
Chemtrail fibers; microfilaments; 'sky-webs''; chemtrail fall-out;
electrostatic filaments; CT particulates; perhaps even 'Morgellon's'.
"I like the term 'fibrils' as it implies a synthesized microfiber
with
conductive properties." (Moondog @ Carnicom).
But whatever they end up being called (personally, I lean towards
'CT-UV fibrils' -- has a nice ring), they are REAL and OBSERVABLE.
See for yourself -- it's simple...
These CHEMTRAIL/AEROSOL/ UV/ FIBRIL/ FILAMENTS are very easy to
observe under the right conditions.
To actually WITNESS these filaments covering you, and your children,
your pets, your home, your plates, your pillow and your possessions
can be very shocking.
They are all over us.
They are floating in the air.
They are entwined in all that extra 'dust' you have been wiping up
lately throughout your home...and the 'dust' on your car.
They are clogging your A/C and furnace filters.
They are landing on your food between the plate and your mouth.
We are all wearing them, eating them, drinking them, breathing
them...
And they are virtually INVISIBLE -- EXCEPT under ultraviolet light.

It's been my experience with this group that most who, at first, won't tell us about the product and want us to email them are snake oil salesmen. Be aware that many come to this group trying to make money.

Happy Birthday!

Well Folks, today is my 45th birthday, I really did not think I
would be here, I had my death planned for a couple of weeks ago, I
am convinced that through a series of miracles that God led me to
this website, to know there are others, and I am not a
lone "lunatic" ugh! as many percieve us has saved my life, My
husband and whole church has been praying for me,and i know in my
heart that is why i am still here, i know i am precious to him and
my family!! I would have scarred many lives especially my two
beautiful daughters and my husband! So that said, there have been
many great suggestions many of which i am doing especilly the
Vitamin C, garlic, apple-cider vinegar water. I will say, I fell of
the carb wagon yeserday, I actually had lunch guests!!! and I
cooked!!!! which I used to love to do, have been too tired lately,
but I have much more enegy now!!! I notice today I have much of the
itching back on my arms mostly. No sores or lesions, just the
itching!!!! so, perhaps we have some of the answers already, carbs,
sugar???? I have decided that it doesnt matter what the doctors
believe, this IS REAL, and we need a cure, and many need our
compassion, and those of you who have been willing to share your
stories have saved many lives!!! mine included, this is the best
birthday gift I could get,,, IM HERE. THANK YOU ALL

Hi,
My son was ill two years ago with a different "unheard of" illness.
He had contracted Mycoplasma pneumonia which is not unheard of, but
the unusual thing was that the Mycoplasma then got deeply imbedded in
his sinus tissues causing extremely severe headache/sinus pain that
would never go away. After weeks of inconclusive tests,
hospitalization and zero results with medical specialists, we relied
on further personal research into Mycoplasma. My son (then age 12)
was finally cured with the antibiotic Doxycycline, 100MG, taken once
a day for about 2 months, along with diet restrictions (we did
delayed food allergy blood testing with Immunolabs to help the immune
system focus on fighting the illness, rather than fighting any
reactive foods - ex. avoiding gluten grains, cow milk, soy) and we
increased vitamin supplementation, especially Co-enzyme B vitamin and
Zinc, and took 500mg Acidophilus each morning 1/2 hr before meals (to
maintain healthy intestinal balance while on antibiotic) The reason
for the Doxycycline, taken long term, is that this antibiotic when
taken longer term can get down deep into the tissues and joints where
the Mycoplasma can get a hold. Shorter antibiotic therapy was
ineffective at getting deep into the tissues. Also, Doxycycline is
used sometimes by dermatologists, such as for acne. Perhaps this
type of treatment might also work for Morgellons?
My thoughts and prayers are with you...

Praise the Lord! ABC did a great job on their Primtime report on
morgellons! I hope lots of Doctors were watching! Blessings,Pat

Mr. Sullivan, you are not the first to post this type of message to this
message board. I rarely post to it myself, but I watch it every day. My
mother has been tortured with this "disease" for years. As her family,
we have alternately been concerned, confused, and suspicious, and
finally doubted her sanity. Some of the things she has ingested, and
the chemicals she has put on her skin, have horrified me. However,
over the past few years I have experienced several bouts with this
myself, and I can tell you I would have happily poured bleach into an
open wound if I thought it would stop the crawling, biting, and itching
sensations that I experienced 24 hours a day. I have never felt so
depressed, frustrated, alone, and dirty in my life. I have watched my
mother sit in the doctor's office crying while he actually laughed at her
insistence that there was something physically wrong with her. The
only thing she left the office with as a psychiatric referral and a lot less
pride. I have also watched several of her friends disappear when at
last some attention was brought to this affliction through the media, for
fear they might catch it themselves. The people on this site have
suffered, and continue to suffer, on a daily basis, and I guarantee you
they have all been called lunatics more than once. If you can't see the
absolute desperation in the seemingly crazy things people suggest in
an effort to find an answer, you must not possess an ounce of
sympathy. I, too, wish people would tone it down sometimes, in the
hope that the CDC might take these claims more seriously. However, I
fail to see how berating a group of people who are seeking help from
one another when they have been unable to find it anywhere else will
help anything. When your symptoms drive you to madness and you
have nowhere else to turn, I hope you remember this group. Good
riddance.

Hi, I have ben suffering the itching, scratching bleeding lesions for about 3 years it came out of nowhere??? I have been told I was self-inflicting this, It got so bad,I tookan overdose of adavan, I was in the psych ward, slightly embarrasing for a psychologist!!!! I would like any suggestions you may have for some relief, so long as they are not way out there or dangerous!! I have gleaned a few good things from this web, and caring people, and things are getting better.. lesions are cleared up, but the itching hies on my arms continually has not gone away!! so go ahead and post your suggestions, I have already spent thousands!! Thanks
skyhilife <SkyHiLife@...

I have had this disease all most my whole life. I have seen hundreds
of doctors, spent thousands of dollars on various "cure's" all of which
were not able to help me.
I recently found something that has made the itch disappear, the skin
become soft and supple, the sores heal, the dementia clear up and I
sleep better and am alert and clear minded for the first time in my
life. If anyone is interested I am willing to share this information.
Just E mail me and I will contact you immediately with more
information. It worked for me, maybe it will work for others as well.

Dear Mr Sullivan, did ya happen to catch the Prime time special tonight???? There are major sports figured, doctors and scientist who suffer from this, whater it is???I my self am a trained Psychologis, I livre in Ny, but odly enough I grew up on the gulf coast of Florida, where alot of these cases are beigg reported?//The other othera also seem to be clustered around coastal communities????I have suffered wiyththe itching and lesions and bleeding for over 3 years, hopefully you nor anyone in your family will ever be afflicted by this, because I would not wish this on even a norrowminded ass such as yourself!!!! When AIDS was first being reported by the afflicted they were als called delusional!!! How many of those people are now deceased!!!! I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS< AND I WOLD PREFER TO HAVE MY NORMAL LOVELY LIFE BACK!!! what a joy you must be to have around!!!! The CDC knows there is something going on, possibly related to Lyme disease. oops. maybe thats a delusional
also!!! Do you think thousans od people all over the country are suffering almost identical symptoms with no explaination????? Yes Some Global mass HYSTERIA???? please, get a grip, its easier to dismiss the unknown than to acknowlege and deal with it. I take it back... I HOPE you do get this, have some compassion, you jerk!!!!hn Sullivan <kc9cbs@...

After following this list for a while I can only conclude that you are
all a bunch of lunatics. I'm sure the CDC investigation will come to
the same conclusion.
Good Luck

Please, just post it here. Pat

Oh MY that is SO FABULOUS! Congratulations on finding a doc that will
help. Dr Schwartz said to take Biltricide 600 mg 6 x a day once every
4-5 days. He didn't say how long to follow the protocol. I haven't
found a doc to prescribe for me so I may go online and get it myself!
hope you get some relief

Hi. Amy thanks for the reminder, I have called several of the doctors who have diagnosed me as self-inflicted parasitosis yo please watch the special tonight!!!! Maybe they will maybe they wont.... I have gotten to the point that I no longer care about convincing the medicl community that something is terribly wrong with those of us who are suffering this nightmare!!! A cure would be good!!!! I am having some success with suggestions from K ie...vitC , garlic, applecider vinegarw/water, i use a hydogen proxise/water spray when I itch or 91% rubbing alcohol, witch hazel has also helped I have been doing these things for only 4 days... I have NO LESIONS anywhere, my legs look almost normal,, no lesions on my arms, but little white bumps, and many times a day i feel like something is stinging or biting me, when i look I have hive-like bumps in that area???? wish someone could figure this out. I have also cut out 90% of the carbs i ate I think they feed on carbs or
sugar!!!!. Well perhaps HELP will be on the way every" new" disease is met with speculation. when someone really important suffers from this we will get some credibility!! Hope everyone is feeling better today!!!! God Bless us all. Debbie Backus <aeb927@...

I went to my fourth dermatologist, and my ninth doctor several weeks
ago. I demanded a biopsy. The results from the lab indicated damage to
my skin from bug bites! I then asked the doctor to look closely at my
skin with light and magnification. He actually did it, but refused to
believe what he was seeing were "parasites". The good news - I
introduced him to Morgellan
