If you have an emailed threat, maybe you should take it to the police?

Rita

You know how the US govt is seizing Canadian meds coming into the US? I wonder if they're seizing meds coming in from other countries, such as Germany, as well. They probably don't find all of them but they may seize enough to cause a heap-a-trouble.

My opinion is that the US govt is owned by US big business/US big pharma and they want US citizens buying only from US companies.

Way to go, Sister! We live and learn, right?
Have a wonderful RELAXING weekend!

Great minds think alike. I agree with your comments and was praying for you to
give them the boot! The entire exchange, their comments about Kay.....WAY
overboard and out of line. This feels like a family and I'm not going to let
anyone treat one of my sisters with disrespect! Then you, Rita, came behind
with a little Corporal Punishment, which is just what people like that deserve!
Again, thank you so much for everything you do to watch out for us. You
maintain a safe and dignified place where we can SAFELY share our thoughts,
knowing that if some IDIOT name calls or tries to, "rape us", financially in our
time of desperation, you will send them to a place where they shall never
return!
Have a Great night everyone!

I can totally understand your reaction. They were over the top, probably a plant. They didn't have Morgellons. Why were they here? Something wasn't right there and they were just too offensive.

In reading all the posts, I have yet to find a statement that this cream was paid for.

Yet I believe it was sent. Otherwise, why would the man call from overseas to inquire whether or not the post office remembered it.

The shipping of the package overseas cost money. The phone call cost money. The product cost the seller money.

Yet, I have never seen a statement by the recipient that she wanted her money back.

I think no payment was ever made for the product.

The only person who is "out" anything, if all above is true, would be the person who sent the package.

=========================================================

Go away! Nobody is EVER going to order from them after the UNPROFESSIONAL way
both you and Marc spoke in your emails!! Why do you resort to a PERSONAL ATTACK
by calling someone you don't even KNOW a NUT?? Kay is PERFECTLY REASONABLE in
asking for a damn TRACKING NUMBER!!!
Go away, go away, go away. This is my last comment, I had to say something,
Rita! I'm not going to sit by silently while someone rips into Kay!

Kay,
PLEASE!! Stop talking to these people!! I am so MAD reading Marcs posting, I
can't imagine this is HEALTHY for you!! Stop thinking you can reason with
them.....they don't have the same morals as you, and you are WASTING YOUR TIME
AND ENERGY OVER NOTHING!! Don't give this asshole any more POWER over you!!
Look how much time you have spent arguing about the same points!
Move on and ignore him, dear! We all care about you!

It's unlikely that any lawyer will take a case for $100. Do yourself a favor... Stop talking to them, Ignore them, understand there's a possibility the item was never shipped and they're trying to intimidate you into sending them money. I think there are more crooks than honest people these days. Think of it as a lesson learned, change your email, if necessary... something like kaymkelly@

Dump your aggravation.

Cliff mickelson talks about morgellons
http://www.cherokeechas.com/audio0.htm

Hi. My husband and I have been dealing with Morgellon's for about 2 years but we
didn't
figure it out until a few months ago. What have you found to be helpful in terms
of
treatments??? What are your main symptoms??? Hope you're not feeling too bad.
Katherine

Marc,
I repeat these thoughts/ideas once more:
1) I have not received anything from you.
2) again I can do nothing without the tracking numbers, the insurance
numbers that you sent the package under.
3) again I spoke to Ricoh today and he told me that you are lying about what
he said to you.
why can't you understand this? why don't you give me the tracking numbers so
that I can trace the package from this side?
why do you say that you don't need tracking numbers. in all my 53 years, I
have NEVER been able to trace a package in the United States without using
its tracking numbers. the dispute would be settled instantly if you would
give me the tracking numbers, perhaps then I can figure out who signed for
it and perhaps that would lead us to where it is now. however at this point
if I do find the box it will come straight back to you, I don't want to have
anything to do with folks like you thats for sure. AND I would email you its
tracking numbers right away.
go ahead and call the police. I welcome their help in this matter. btw in
this country if I haven't received the package, and you are trying to force
me to give you money that you wouldn't have normally gotten otherwise, its
called fraud. you or whomever else you get to fill out a police report here
could get into allot of trouble by filling out a false police report. you
might want to try and figure out who I was before this disease made me
retire before proceeding very much farther down the path that you are now
on. I guarantee you I do not have your cream or hand lotion or however you
are labeling the stuff you are trying to sell in this country.
when I tried to use your website the payment page was not yet there. I
reported that to you as well - I even offered to help you get your website
together if you remember. supposedly you mailed this package to me before
the payment page was even up on your website. or don't you remember that?
btw I have saved all our emails. so go ahead and make some more mistakes of
facts.
go ahead and do all the negative stuff you can do. you will find that I am
not lying to you. I have never received your package, nor do I know where it
is now.
OR
you can give me the tracking numbers, and perhaps we can get your package
back to you in a more timely manner.
whatever you decide, kk

After more than 2 years taking expensive
antibotics and then seeing 2 dermatologists, my
brother was finally diagnosed with celiac
disease/gluten intolerance confirmed with a
biopsy of the lesions which have covered most of
his body at one time or another. He has all the
manifestations of Morgellon's and he does find
that diet/heat/stress...actually, just living and
breathing, can cause an outbreak. His skin is
never clear. He has been practically disabled by
this disease. Doctors have called it "contact
dermatitis", telling him it's just from
scratching, etc. He has been through too many
doctors and no one really has a clue what to do.
He is currently trying a med used to treat skin
disease in horses! He's desperate to find
something to eliminate these lesions and it is
apparent that this is a disease that will have to
be "self-medicated". He does have a gluten
intolerance, but there is a lot more to this
disease that seems to require everyone to become
a scientist and a guinea pig for possible
treatments.

kk
I hope you aren't really thinking of resigning from the group because
of a mistake .... I hope everybody agrees that you're a valued member
with kind and caring input. I'm sorry to hear that you may have been
"taken". I hope it wasn't too steep a price... I know when I ordered
my prazi and gave my cc I knew it was a risk, but I felt I had to take
it. The support here keeps me going. Thanks to you and all the
caring and sharing members..

Hi, I am in Ohio, up by Cleveland. I know someone by Youngstown that
has this, and two in the Akron area.

Kay

I believe in you and I can see by the messages these people send you that they and their purposes have a good chance of being nefarious. Can you put a stop on your VISA? This is the exact reason I kick snake oil salesmen (SOS) off this group as soon as I figure it out. Some can be really slick.

Note to All - Do NOT buy from people who have solicited you/us online. I've kicked about 10 SOSs off this group, lately.

Rita

Everyone, please let me apologize for forwarding this thread to you. but I
think you need to be warned about Randy and Marc.
if you all want me to resign from these groups then I will, kk

This new Scunci mirror at 10x magnification caused a problem. My
husband felt it was frivilous spending on my part. Having a heart to
help launch our kids...we count pennies. Ok, i said...ill take the
$6 mirror back(walmart,k-mart)....but, does our insurance cover a
visit to the dermatologist? And i asked him...would you support me
while im put on psychiatric drugs if the doctor thinks im crazy?
Keep the mirror-he decided, after thinking about the choice. If he
was brave he would look in it. I found the fibers with the blacklight
(how to find mystery aresol chemtrail fibrils by sue miller), all
over my home, in my skin pores...and once i shined it on my
husband....and yes(but dont tell him)...he's glowing too. In my neck
of the woods...only i have "this problem". My skin was just fine
(other than glowing pores revealed by the blacklight)until two
months ago. Thats when i decided to bring to the surface my 9 year
old embedded skin sore. When i saw all the fibers coming out of it
using the proscope 200x microscope on my tv...thats when i knew I
too had the mystery skin disease. Now, because of this mirror i see
even more interesting things! Before i go on, a moment of humor.
Remember the song, sing a phrase before looking in the mirror...*oh,
Lord its hard to be humble, when your're perfect in every way-ay...i
cant wait to look in the mirr-or, oh, i get better looking each
day* :) Now, on to being brave, and the old tired
but true saying..."its gonna get worse before it gets better". In
this 10x mirror, putting on a baking soda facial, as the soda drys
out, my chin skin puckered up and white fibers began to protrude
from the pores. On removing them with angled tweezers, another would
emerge. Sometimes several fibers would come out together. My theory
at this point:the pores are plugged with fibers, covered by
something that can be diluted by baking soda. Removing the covering
with soda, allows the skin to pucker them out. Im wondering if this
is why places on the skin get swollen, all the pores are plugged?
Several days and applications of the soda, and many fibers
later, "problem areas" emerged on my chin, places where i remember
in the past having had an itchy spot, or a hard bump that wouldnt
come out. I thought these things went away, but, oh no...they were
hiding! I decided to give them the soda treatment, and last night
two dime size legions opened up.They were midway on my chin, one on
the right, one on the left. I was prepared, i had made my mistakes
on the one above my lip, and im pleased to report i got two of them
drained in an hour...just using the soda and water. The big trick is
to stick with it, while the soda works on the top like a syphon
(sp?). Once the small sore starts to bleed into the soda on the
surface, it has to be removed before it spreads, and repetedly, like
20 or more times, whiped off, or sprayed off , and the soda re-
applied. I had two going at once and it kept me very busy!There is a
slight delay...apply soda, let it "melt" inside the lesion, and let
it pull the infected area up and out. I dont know if that would be
the same effort achived with a suction device, as the device would
not "melt" it first. Sometimes the soda would get saturated and
begin to harden in a ridge, but by spraying the area with water, and
gently dabbing dry soda and moving it in circles around and over the
sore....everything was kept at a flat surface. When the bleeding out
finally stopped, what remained was a dent, and i packed it with soda
and the soda remained white. Whew! Thats an intense job, but left
the lesion looking cleaned out, the skin around it looking normal
(unaffected skin doesnt react to the soda). I rinsed it all off with
distilled spray, and then filled the hole with silver. Whats
surprising is that these hidden sores, once uncovered, seem to have
been very busy balloning out under the skin, so when they bleed out
and open, what was tiny and hidden looks like a big bloody mess with
an agenda...and has somehow made the area numb, yet found a way to
bring in blood and possibly hook into nerves and muscle tissue.
Reminds me of uninvited guests who dont want to leave...and having
packed them up and gotten them on the front porch, they persist to
rock a bit, have some tea, invite some more coversation....just dont
want to leave(im refering to the anchor pores around the outside of
the legion that seem to be ready to make the sore grow and stay, at
least on the surface a little longer). Well, im gettin a little
confidence with dealing with these lesions..and i see some more
spots im going after around the side of my face next. I hope this
helps folks who dont have the $ for perhaps...better ways of doing
this. I know from the bible, i gotta take the "logs" outa my own eye
before i can take the "splinters" out of anyone elses. My hope is
that i can get my husband to pucker up and pack up some of his
facial bumps and lumps. Hes been to the doctor years ago asking
about floaters, rosasha(sp), and has lots of white bumps on the
sides of his beard.None of the medicines they gave him helped a
bit. How many forms do these things take on the surface? We all
grew up knowing about pimples, but these are a different beast
because of the hidden lesion....yet on the surface i think they have
different forms..maybe different stages of fiber bites? Bright red
dots, tiny hard bumps, fleshy raised dots, small flat brownish red
circles on the surface, or a brown patch. Are all these faces of
morgellons on the skin?

You have a good train of thought here.

Deep in the bowels is one source of this. It may not be Step One, but it is a crucial stage of the development of this throughout the body.

Changing the diet, I believe, is key to getting better - or at least reducing the symptoms.

Yes. Good observations.

Diana

I have morgellons. At the least I have had it for 6 yrs at the most 14.
I have noticed some common complaints in the stories of many
sufferrers that are yet to be mentioned on the research sites.
the first of these is that diet seems to help or worsen symptoms. I am
considering that a gluten intolerance similar to celiac disease may be
the root of this correalation. I have a worsening of symptoms after
eating foods containing gluten including feeling very sleepy, as if I
were drugged,increased peripheral swelling, swelling around eyes and
in sinuses, runny nose, sinus pain and or infection, itching or
crawling sensation, and increase in skin lesions.
I have read about a theoretical link between gluten and symptoms in
autistic children, that theory being that the intestinal walls of
these children allow gluten and casein to pass into the bloodstream
where they have an opiate like effect on the brain. This sounds like
what is happening to me. I have also read that the incidence of
autism in the U.S. has increased 1000 percent since 1990, and that
many children with morgellons also have autism. I beleive there is
cause to look into this possible link between the two. I suspect that
morgellons is caused by an infectious organism that colonizes rather
than infects the host, until the immune system is compromised in some
way: stress, surgery, etc. I support the postulation that S.
Maltophilia or some mutation thereof may be behind morgellons. To me
it just sounds right, for many reasons, not the least of them being
that my symptoms respond to treatment with the antibiotic Bactrim,
which is one of the few that adresses the organism S. Maltophilia
though symptoms are quick to reappear once the course of treatment has
ended.
I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of others on these
possibilities and I'd like to ask that anyone with visual disturbances
share the details of these with me, as this is the most recent symptom
to develop for me. I can "see" a bundle of fibers growing in my eye,
in my feild of vision. most of the time it looks like a faintly
blurry, faintly dark spot that tracks with my eye movements. Because I
am very nearsighted, I am able to clearly see the object when I remove
my contact lenses. It looks like a bundle of fibers under
magnification. I would like to know if anyone else has a similar
symptom
thanks to all, and hang in there, this thing is going to get figured
out even if I have to do it myself!

I am looking for a ride to the morgellons festival in oklahoma on oct. 7-8. I live in western N.C. IF ANYONE IS COMING THIS WAY BY I-85 I WILL BE WILLING TO HELP SHARE GAS EXPENSES. THANKS,SANDY.

Hi: llama052 - What is your name? Well, anyway's I've been by my Friend Char's side since day one. I believed everything she said, I also witness the fibers. Just last week the biggest fiber came out. The fibers hate to be covered. she had a patch on one of her sores, when the son of a gun pushed the pad opened. She put it in a closed mason jar. She showed me, and I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. ( Unreal ) it looked like a white pipe cleaner, with a piece of white hair at one end and a red speck at the other end, it was about an inch long. I said that came out of you? - It's so bizarre... She say's rubbing alcohol stirs them up. She's always in the bathroom picking the little heads. She is a tuff cookie, I probably would have had a heart attack if that fiber came out of me. I also saw the little hairs go through a plastic baggie. Well, talk soon. Gail

It started prolly around 2003 for me It was a outbreak of it. After
about 2 weeks I guess it lay dormit. The doctors called it Dermititis.
1 year later it began coming back now it just wont go away. Only thing
I use to treat it is bath alot and,Use goldmen antibackteria foot
powder. I think the more dangerous and more powerfull stuff you use
the worse it becomes and strong also For lesions use Acohal and such,
Also avoid cotton.I have no lesions and just more like bumps now but
still lots of fibers. You will feel very fatigued and Tired. Also
Headaches will hold you ransom!, You will also loose your
Intelligence, so if your in school , You better try hard!. Later.

I didn't know Lotrimin Ear Drops exist. I know Lotrimin ointment helps reduce the swelling around my eyes. What do the Lotrimin Ear Drops help?

this article from DOEWATCH.com
Jim Phelps discovered the causation for aging, cancer, CFS, and HIV
at The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the mid 1980s. He found that
Oak Ridge fluoride releases were affecting the Pineal gland's
regulation of the night and day signaling that controlled the
Pituitary's Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Further, that the
fluorides combined in the body with aluminum to produce a TSH like G-
protein effect that also upset the day-night regulation of thyroid
related hormones T-3 and T-4. This chemical damage process kept the
cells of the body from powering down at night and caused depletion of
the glutathione enzyme (Se-GSH) in the body and brain.
The GSH damage process then allowed toxic metals to build up in the
body as the phase I and phase II glutathione clearance was impaired.
The loss of the liver bile pathway placed more clearance of metals
demand on the kidneys, which set the stage to metabolic acidosis and
shift of the blood pH toward acid, which further impaired toxic metal
clearance. The rise of the toxic metals caused the cell mitochondria
to produce increased rates of free radicals, which required the up
regulation of the superoxide dimutase enzymes (Mn-SOD). These enzymes
employed all the trace metal manganese, which upset the production of
the cytokine interferon (IFN) and the production of effective 2-5A
RNase L enzymes.
The high oxidative stress in the cells caused the mutation of the 2-
5A RNase L enzyme from its normal 83 kDa MW to an ineffectual 37 kDa
MW. This is the prime enzyme within cells that kills viral RNA by
cleaving it, sets up cell apoptosis, and calls in the NK and
macrophage cells. The mutation of this enzyme is the prime effect
that allows cancer viruses to grow, HIV to grow, and CFS problems
with EBV, CMV, and mycoplasma to affect long-term health.
When this principle cellular enzyme that controls cell viral and
mycoplasma mutates due to the manganese loss, the immune system goes
into a Th-2 mode due the interferon cytokine system failing. As the
varied viruses and mycoplasma effects proliferate within the cells of
organs, they generate their own cytokine factors that cause the
growth of blood supplies and uncontrolled cell growth for cancers. In
other cases, depending on the genetic pre-dispositions, these viruses
just cause increasing rates of cell damage leading to slow and
eventual death.
This process of slow damage to the Pineal gland from fluoride is the
prime cause for all animal and human aging on planet Earth. It causes
a slow shift of thyroid hormones into hyperthyroid and sets off a
destructive pattern of toxic metals retention that continues until a
large number of cells are no longer protected from internal pathogen
infections, this causing death.
Jim Phelps' discovery of this etiology for cancers, aging, and
chronic illness caused great problems for the Oak Ridge nuclear
weapons plants that used fluoride to produce bomb uranium and slowly
poisoned its workers health. The discovery also unlocked that the
Ancient Egyptians knew this same process and that is was connected
with their reverence toward the Pineal Gland and was represented by
the Eye Of Horus icon. The discoveries gave greater insights into not
only that the Egyptians found this dominant effect on human health
and intelligence, but also showed how religion's Moses was connected
with finding a Sulfur Cycle medicinal effect that also determines the
weather and cooling of planet Earth.
These web pages are about the key insights into the discoveries that
affect everyone on planet Earth, but which have been covered up by
Oak Ridge and its corrupted Govt. associations that have taken
freedom from the citizens of the US.

Sorry, I meant to include this in my post. I found these about 3
months ago and they have positivly made a difference for me so I
thought it was worth mentioning. Lotrimin Ear Drops, I use two drops
in each ear daily. I found the drops really hard to find, but my
pharmacist orders them for me now.
Menoi

Hi: I hope this finds you doing okay. It's just that you feel alone at times. Well, Dayton member...How long have you been dealing with this weird disease? Char was first told it was scabies, but when these weird fibers were appearing, I went online and did some exploring, and my goodness she has almost all symptoms of this Morgellons disease. Char was dealing with this since the beginning of July. Write more to you later if you would like to share stories? Gail

Hello All! I just found this group and joined last week. I am going to
try to start typing up my story to share although it may take awhile.
I have been living with Morgellons since 1994. My heart and prayers go
out to each and every one of you. I live in Louisiana, Are any of you
from my area?
Look forward to getting to know all of you!

Succi brand has a new 10x magnifying makeup mirror(k-mart $6).Its
swell(pun intended). Armed with that, and my arm and hammer baking
soda, i melted down the ridge of my facial lesion, exposed 3
seperate bleeding sores inside it, and now have a hole in my face
above my lip filled with sovereign silver, and covered with a silver
bandage from the dollar store(dollar tree $1). I am thankful to have
this9 year embedded beast, at the surface where i have learned to
deal with it, even though it meant dealing with mystery fibers. I
have made mistakes treating it, yet im hopeing for it to all be
removed, and its tenecles which seemed to be connected to my gums,
to all be in the trash by next weeks garbage day....which is where
this shit belongs. What i have learned using baking soda is that it
melts the superglue like stuff that holds the fibers in a ridge
around the crater. It melts the crater rim, and melts the crater
covering. It melts the stuff in the crater. When the lesion is dry,
i start by spraying it with distilled water, and packing baking soda
on it(i have also used aloe miracle foot cream for the initial
meltdown). Putting baking soda on a wet face, or a wet sore...will
get some interesting things happening. This process has to be tended
to as it happens quickly, yet in tending to it can take some time,
especially if other areas open up, while you think...im just dealing
with one sore this time. Several applications of baking soda on a
lesion will turn it to mush quickly... just like putting salt on
ice. The trick is to remove as much as you can, as gently as
possible, allowing God on the inside of the skin...to hand over that
which is ready to be removed. If you stay within that rule of
thumb...the process is painless. But, it also means patience, as
when the ooze factor is diminished, and the bloodletting is
over....stop. Leave it alone til the next day. Layer by layer, day
by day...just removing what is offered...allowing the underside to
work this beast up and out. When the sore bleeds, the mistake i made
was to let it spill over. If it spills over, and drys...it seems to
grow. Therefore, one must check the mirrror, and tend to removing
the blood away and out til it is done bleeding. I use the baking
soda piled on the sore, and it lifts the blood up and out into a
pink snowball, which i immediately take off when saturated, and
replace with new soda, over and over until the blood stops. Any
softened parts then also get removed, and i can tell...ah, sessions
over for today. Then i rinse it with distilled water to remove any
residual soda...and douse with silver. In this manner, while i have
mainly been tending to this long embedded lesion....i have so far
discovered and successfully removed a quarter size patch of
embedded "gravel" from my temple, a pea size surprise embedded
lesion from my chin, a pencil tip size lesion from above my chin,
several sideways skin covered fibers at the corner of my right lip,
and a larger assortment of skin covered embedded horizontal fibers
from the corner of my left lip. Until i did a baking soda
facial....i did not realize they were there, but the interesting
thing is that baking soda on un-irritated skin will do nothing. If
an irritation lays beneath...it will turn the covering of it to mush
and reveal the problem. In removing the mush...thus getting to the
bottom of the problem, one must be prepared to not be discouraged,
discusted, or totally grossed out. This is not surgery, but can get
a bit unsetteling. As long as patience prevails, and only that which
is "ready" is removed, the only pain is the mental emotional factor,
which is helped by seeing one of these sores that are done from the
inside out...healed and smooth. The "no longer turning to mush"
baking soda will confirm it...no mush develops on healed skin. Good
job, well done, no scar. With the 10x magnifying mirror, it is
interesting to watch white fibers pop out of uncovered pores. They
do not look like hairs, and stretch by pulling with tweezers like
soft plastic. If this info helps...please let me know. I
drove thru the downtown tonight, slowly along the street filled with
dance clubs, the entertainment at full swing, the crowds traveling
back and forth across the street, their minds concerned with less
troublesome mysteries than mine. I longed for a dancing mind set, ah
joy, relief from dealing with skin. I prayed to God for wisdom
concerning success with getting beyond this morgellons work,
remembering a scripture..."wisdom shouts from the street corner".
Not an exact quote, but the idea that answers will come. Lost in
that thought...an anxious car passed me on the left, and a shout
erupted from its window filled with "cool guys". "She's old and
crazy! one yelled at the top of his voice to me as they passed. Yup,
thats me, i thought...but its surely not wisdom shouting...that
wasnt from the street corner, it was yelled from the middle of the
street. May God's voice be magnified as we drive this path looking
for the voice of wisdom, and may we dance in our hearts as the
answers surely come down our street.

just so you have another theory to spin on the great morgellons
mystery wheel.......http://morgellonsgroup.proboards23.com/index.cgi?

Just like there are many brands of bread, there are many brands of
colloidal silver. If it is made with a battery opperated generator,
the ionic silver may be less, with larger particles of silver that can
not pass thru cell walls and eventually cause bluing of the skin. Some
colloidal silver is mixed with a pinch of salt, or proteins, and that
presents a different colored colloidal silver, from yellow thru brown
in color. From my understanding, a clear solution is best, and when
ingesting it, the goal is to use the smallest size in a high tech
form. The silver list@..., debates the similarities of the
silver they make with generators to the high tech sovereign silver.
Some say it is the same, but one woman who healed of ms using
sovereign silver claims it is more effective. But, the cost of
sovereign silver is about $30 per 8 oz. The silvergen generator is
$200 but makes 150 gallons from two $10 replacable silver rods. I use
sovereign silver for internal, and the generator for external,
encluding in the washingmachine rinse cycle, mixed into paint, for my
animals, for cleaning the bathroom and spraying areas.Ive been using
silver bandages found at the dollar tree dollar store....made in
eqypt$1. There is a book at the library called Body Electric about the
reasearch of a doctor using silver ions to kill bacteria and promote
healing. The sovereign silver web site is dedicated to him.

I'm currently writing an UNBIASED cover story for the Oklahoma Gazette about
Morgellons.
But what I lack is the most important part: the perspective and story from
someone who
has the disease. Without that, there's little point.
Is anyone here from Oklahoma? If so, would you be willing to be interviewed? If
anonymity

Glad things went well. What did Dr Matthews prescribe for you?

This is the first I've heard about a Morgellons conference. Do you know whose conference it is, where it is, who the speakers are, etc?

Rita

Can you tell us what meds he prescribed??? I'd love to know, pleaseeee

I have just returned from my visit with dr. matthews in maryland. he was very knowledgable about morgellons,and spent 2 hours with me. It was good to finally talk to a dr. that had some SENSE!!! he has me on a 3 month regimen treatment. I am already feeling better from the meds. that he prescribed. he is pretty much devoting his practice to m.g. patients. if anyone needs his info.,let me know. BTW,is anyone attending the morgellons festival in oklahoma this weekend? Sandy.

Tell your friend to slather some Aquaphor ointment or vaseline
petroleum jelly on the sores...wrap with saran wrap and water proof
tape. It kills the SOB's and helps the itch too. It is some kind of a
worm or a thing that has worm like parts. I know, I had this thing
for the last 3+ years after I got a bad cut on my arm.
Been to almost 20 doctors. About 13 out of them was dermatologists.
They all look at you like you have 2 heads; blow you off and say
you're doing it to yourself.....some say it's eczema......most say
it's delusions....Man...seems like a LOT of people are getting the
same delusions these days.
It's been hell but it's getting better.....I tried dog de
wormers...one that really got rid of a lot of my lesions was a
product that Walmart pet dept. has...called Safeguard, it has a drug
called fenbendazole in it.... I'd mix it up with yogurt and eat it.
Between July and now (Sept.) I took about 10 doses of the
stuff...some spaced days apart...some spaced weeks apart...I only
have a few sores left on both my arms. No other place now......(It
used to be all over both legs and ankles BAD!!)
Hang in there, Michelle

Is less expensive Ionic Silver as effective as commonly used Colloidal Silver?

Rita

Perhaps those of us who are still articulate can write and submit articles to magazines. Of course, it will take many submissions to get one published.

Rita

Wish i had a hundred bucks to find out what this would do to the
morgellons lesion! I am making silver with a silvergen generator and
it alows me to coat my lesion in silver, which, as i learned from my
dogs skin problems healing...gradually brings these "fiber bites" to
the surface. On a european site, a man has used a silver coin to bring
the bottom of the lesion to the surface, then photographed it (looks
like a clear piece of plastic with pinkish red globs in it. He then
subjected it to 30 seconds of a butane lighter...and it was unphased!
Said it was hard like candy(i think because the silver suffacates
bacteria by taking away its oxygen). Then he broke it with a hammer.
Yes!!! Now.....heres a device that can be seen at dermaseptic.com It
uses a battery to deliver silver under the skin, and the antibacterial
silver ions keep the virus from replicating and stop the infection
before it breaks into an open sore. I dont know if this would be
faster and more effective than what i am doing by applying silver with
a dropper or spray. I havent tried a silver coin, but if i did...i
would get a canadian silver dollar from a coin store because they are
the most pure silver coin.

SILVER KILLS VIRUSES, STUDY FINDS
Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com
In a groundbreaking study, the Journal of
Nanotechnology has published a study that found silver
nanoparticles kills HIV-1 and is likely to kill
virtually any other virus. The study, which was
conducted by the University of Texas and Mexico
University, is the first medical study to ever explore
the benefits of silver nanoparticles, according to
Physorg.
During the study, researchers used three different
methods of limiting the size of the silver
nanoparticles by using capping agents. The capping
agents were foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum
albumin (BSA). The particles ranged in size from 1 to
10 nanometers depending on the method of capping.
After incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver
particles killed 100% of the virus within 3 hours for
all three methods. The scientists believe that the
silver particles bonded through glycoprotein knobs on
the virus with spacing of about 22 nanometers in
length.
While further research is needed, researchers are
optimistic that nanological silver may be the silver
bullet to kill viruses. The researchers in the study
said that they had already begin experiments using
silver nanoparticles to kill what is known as the
super bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus
aureus). Already used as a topical antibiotic in the
medical industry, silver may now come under
consideration as an alternative to drugs when it comes
to fighting previously untreatable viruses such as the
Tamiflu resistant avian flu.

Dear Rita, i have found my way to your site, coming from a prayer to
help my dogs with their skin problems using silver. It was in
searching vet sites to find what i was dealing with on their skin,
that i found out about the mystery skin disease, and about finding
fibers with the blacklight. This happened about a year ago, and
since, i have been removing fluoresent fibers from my home and now
from my skin. The best medicine for me, to deal with this "demented"
reality...has been posting my experiences and experiements on your
site. If it were not for Gods help, i would never have been able to
deal with this bizarre reality, and if it were not for your kindness
to alow me to vent here, my rage about this "violation" of fibers in
my home and in my skin would have been hard to bear. My prayers are
with you and the fight of faith you have stood for, and continue
in,and heartfelt thanks for making a place were folks can come and
know they are not alone in seeking the truth about this mystery, and
in finding the truth...be free. I realize i have been somewhat alone
in using the blacklight to search for answers, so when i saw this
post on biology -online i was interested to find out someone took a
blacklight with them to the doctors office!.....heres their
report................."One strange aspect to the Morgellons is that
this stuff acts,
and can feel like an actual bug! It can jump from one person to the
next.
Strange, I know but it's true. I have seen this under a blacklight.
It can be
felt also but is not visible until the Ultraviolet light is on it.
This creates
many problems for people suffering from this as doctors, family
members, and
friends can't see anything on us and most people don't know about
the blacklight
technique. When I have showed this to doctors, the only reply I get
is the same
exact one. All they can say is, "I'm not sure what I just saw" and
then they
send us away. Yes, I have to pay good money just to hear that. I am
one of the
5% of people with this that has managed NOT to get the DOP diagnoses
and I
believe this is why. I've been able to show them how to detect it
and what it
looks like, not to mention what drugs are being used to treat it.
Don't know why
I am the chosen one but I really don't want to have to inform
doctors, I need
them to know more about this than I do."

Is anyone else having trouble posting? I've made comments that seem to
be stuck in cyberspace.
Rita

I've been taking exelon for dementia, for years, and recently stopped
taking it. I'm, seriously, out in lala land.
On another subject. Has anyone received a meaningful positive response
from a politician when they've written/called/talked?
Rita

-I have found that when i feel a sting or itch...if i tape the area
with packaging tape...over and over until there is no more dry skin
on it....under the microscope i will always find some fibers.
Usually i then treat the area by putting the miracle aloe foot cream
(walgreens $10) in a pile on the area and let it dry...then scrape
it off. Then i rub baking soda into the area like powder. If a fiber
is embedded ...this has to be repeted everyday. Sometimes when the
irritant is removed(and it may have been in a nest of fibers under
dry skin)....when it is removed it will leave a pucker or dent, and
sometimes a bruise or tender area. Because of using a blacklight, i
can see these fibers in the enviorment. Because im working on
getting them out of my skin, i check exposed skin every night(like
face , arms). I have found specks of these fluoresent fibers melting
into skin pores, i have found larger fibers standing anchored in
skin pores. These can be taped off, and the new cleaning tool...the
paint roller size, tape roller(walmart$10)...in the laundry section,
works great for cleaning up all the "lint"fibers in our homes. Get
in the habit of checking your hands in a bright light or sunlight
for tiny clear fibers that are crimped and attach to the ends of
fingernails or cracks in the fingertips. You begin to get sensitive
to when they have attached and the next time you itch...its probaly
one of them floating in the air and landing on your skin. -- In

I had that for 20 years with Lyme, from the 70s to the 90s when I went on aggressive antibiotics. At some point during the Lyme treatment, it stopped. Good thing because, with time, those shocks were getting much stronger.

Rita

I have dozens spells a day, with this: I have tiny shocks
feels as if someone pitching needles at me.Sometimes theyre great
stinging itch. Can never tell where these things hit from time to time.
At at the time hiting me in my shoulder blades, & my big toe.
They jump from here to there.. I had this for about 8 yrs.
I never gotten answer from a Dr. Bettyjo.clawson@...
You may email me at home also.

FDA approves 5 VIRUSES sprayed on meat you eat!
This is from News With Views. I have held back from sending a lot of
what I normally get because sometimes it can be too overwhelming and
there is always a chance things will get fixed without alerting
everyone to the dangers out here.
However, this one requires all of you who care about your family to
PAY ATTENTION to this since the impact will be immediate and long
term. A virus in your food or viruses will trigger the immune system
to overwork itself and finally give out. Without that immune system
you can easily die without protection. Please read this article very
carefully. Especially for the elderly and the very, very young.
Thanks.
By Byron J. Richards, CCN
August 24, 2006
NewsWithViews.com
On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved a viral cocktail to be
sprayed on foods we eat. This is the first time viruses have been
approved for use as food additives. The FDA wants you to believe it
will be safe to consume these viruses every day for the rest of your
life with no adverse health effects. Not surprisingly, the FDA
doesn't want you to know which foods are adulterated in this manner,
for fear you may not buy them; thus, no labeling will be required.
This is a monumental announcement by the FDA, indicating they are
throwing all caution to the wind regarding the safety of our food
supply.
Are you willing to stand in line for a virus-laden sandwich? How do
you like the idea of buying virus-infested food for your family? The
first virally contaminated foods entering our food supply with the
blessings of the FDA will be luncheon meat and poultry. Live viruses
will be sprayed on foods such as cold cuts, sausages, hot dogs,
sliced turkey, and chicken.
At issue is the very real problem of a poor quality FDA-approved food
supply that is already full of diseased and sickly animals, many of
them imported from other countries. The use of antibiotics during
growth and radiation during food processing is required by the fast-
food animal farms owned by multi-national companies to cover up the
horrendous health of the animals they wish to feed to Americans.
Animals in poor health are a friendly place for bacteria to grow and
prosper, especially after such meat goes to market. Rather than
address the source of the problem, the FDA wants to add another
adulteration into our food supply.
The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a rare
bacterium known as Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is killed
by cooking; however, it poses a problem in meats that are cooked
during processing and not cooked again prior to consumption, so it
can readily infect foods such as deli meats.
Yes, the FDA plans to use one infectious organism to fight another.
The carnage of battle will end up in your digestive tract along with
the victorious live viruses, which the FDA assures us will not attack
human cells. However, they cannot possibly be certain the viruses
will not attack the friendly bacteria that make up the lining of your
digestive tract. And they want you to believe this is completely safe
while refusing to require the additive viruses to be listed on the
food label so that you would have a choice.
Turning Loose the Bacteria-Killing Viruses
The company that produces these biotech viruses is Baltimore-based
Intralytix, Inc. The viruses are known as bacteriophages, viruses
that kill bacteria, or phages for short. Phages have been around a
long time, living as parasites inside many bacteria.
Intralytix uses biotechnology to grow viral phages in a culture with
Listeria, in theory teaching the viruses to recognize the bacteria.
The FDA-approved cocktail contains six different viruses intended to
attack one strain of bacteria.
This concoction is then sprayed on food. If Listeria is present in
the food, the bacteria will ingest the viruses. This results in
massive viral replication inside the bacteria, until such point as
the bacteria simply bursts. This battle results in significant
production of bacterial poisons called "endotoxins", as the bacteria
tries to defend itself. When the bacteria burst, these endotoxins are
released. These, along with the victorious live viruses, will now be
on the food that will be eaten.
The FDA and Intralytix would like us to believe that these viruses
will only attack the specified bacteria they are intended to kill and
will be harmless to humans. I'm sorry to burst their bubble, but they
can't possibly guarantee such safety. It is true that the viruses, at
least at this time, cannot recognize human cells. However, the virus
can potentially recognize normal bacterial cells in the human
digestive tract and may be able to adapt to infect one or more of
these friendly bacteria.
The FDA Certainly Knows There Are Risks
The FDA had some concerns about the amount of bacterial endotoxin in
the Intralytix product before it is sprayed; however, FDA tests
apparently showed that the product was adequately purified and so
they declared it safe if used as approved. Will the FDA diligently
monitor the quality of this product once it is on the market, or will
it go the path of many FDA-approved drugs that the agency can't keep
track of?
There is certainly a risk that humans will be exposed to excessive
amounts of endotoxin. This could come from the manufacturing of the
viral cocktail, the interaction of the viruses with bacteria after
being sprayed on food, and/or the interaction of the viruses with
bacteria in the digestive tract.
The human immune system is highly reactive and sensitive to bacterial
endotoxins. They provoke allergy, asthma, autoimmune problems, and
elevate cholesterol. They also interfere with the healthy function of
cells lining the digestive tract. Researchers have demonstrated that
the presence of bacterial endotoxins can start cancer in the colon .
Additionally, the human immune system reacts directly to viral
phages. Thus, a person who eats a lot of processed deli meat is
certain to evoke an immune reaction to the viruses. What will this
reaction be? Allergy? Asthma? Autoimmunity? Cancer? How can the FDA
approve a food additive that it knows can induce a variety of human
immune responses? Phages are so good at disrupting normal immunity
that they are being considered for use as part of organ transplant
medicine.
The ingestion of significant amounts of viral phages into the human
digestive tract is a wild card full of unknown outcomes. For example,
it is certainly possible that these phages, which constantly mutate
in order to survive, are likely to find a way to infect bacteria they
were not intended to infect. Since phages are parasites, they could
hijack the friendly bacteria of the digestive tract and turn them
into viral machines, constantly generating viral particles that are
likely to confuse the human immune system, if not directly infect the
body. We know from history that these viral phages can turn innocuous
bacteria into a killer, which is how cholera occurs.
Furthermore, the Listeria bacteria are not going to take the issue
lying down. They will develop resistance to the viruses over time, as
we have seen with the overuse of antibiotics. Going down this path we
are likely to have hundreds of viral food additives in the food we
eat, all designed to combat some possible infection coming from poor
quality food. Sooner or later we will inadvertently create deadly new
super-strains of bacteria and/or parasitically infect the human
digestive tract with an untreatable infection.
There is also the very real possibility of unintended viral
recombination. What happens when a person with viral stomach flu eats
food containing a dose of this viral food additive? It is certainly
possible for the genetic material of the flu virus to interact with
the genetic material of the viral phages, provoking an undesirable
new viral infection.
Let's not forget that the FDA won't tell us which foods in the food
supply contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). Seventy percent
of the packaged food on grocery shelves already contains GMO
adulterated food. These foods have viral promoter genes woven into
the DNA of every cell, a technique used to implant a pesticide toxin
into every cell of this fake food (see Fight for Your Health, chapter
15). What happens when the viral phages interact with the viral
promoter genes in GMO food? What new virus will be encouraged to
form?
Keep in mind that the FDA wants to conduct this experiment on our
food supply to protect a small minority, only about 2500 people, who
are made seriously ill by this infection each year. The ill are
mostly pregnant women, elderly with compromised immunity, and small
children. It would be a lot more to the point if the FDA would simply
warn such people that eating these foods, due to their poor quality
of production, may be dangerous. What the FDA should really do is
improve the quality of our food supply, the true source of the
problem. Why expose millions of Americans to an unproven ingestion of
live viruses for the benefit of so few?
The FDA has failed miserably for the past century to protect the
public from the adulteration of our food supply by vested interests.
This is just one more insult added to a long list of injuries.
The Tip of an Iceberg
Intralytix has an agenda for the American food supply, as well as for
healthcare in general. This recent FDA ruling allows Intralytix and
other similar biotech companies to get their foot in a door that
should be slammed shut and bolted closed.
The company is also seeking FDA approval for viral sprays to treat
foods that could be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella, which
means that similar "trained" viruses could end up in a majority of
the protein foods in our food supply.
Intralytix sees financial opportunity. They have already licensed
their now FDA-approved viral spray to an undisclosed multi-national
company for use around the world. When the CEO of Intralytix, John
Vazzara, was recently asked about this partner company, he refused to
disclose their name. The grand profit-driven biotech experiment on
the health and well being of all Americans is now in full swing.
Of course, we will need new wonder drugs to combat the new bio-tech
produced infections. Americans will stay sick and the sickness-driven
bio-tech industry will flourish. The bio-tech industry will make
people sick on the front end and treat them on the back end. It's a
win-win situation for profit on illness.
The FDA is Rapidly Becoming a Public Enemy
Experimenting with viruses being added to the food supply is
incredibly dangerous and reckless. It is completely impossible for
the FDA to guarantee safety in the near term or the long term. Thus,
the FDA has made the bureaucratic decision that relative safety is
acceptable to them. What right does the FDA have to tamper with the
food supply in this manner?
It is quite clear that the Bush agenda has been to promote American
biotech companies as the new future for American prosperity.
Administrative opinions have trumped science in virtually every
situation wherein safety conflicts with profit.
The FDA will refuse to require labeling on food sprayed with viruses,
just as they refuse to require notification that food has been
genetically modified and contains toxins in every cell. The reason is
obvious; no person understanding these issues would buy or eat such
food. Thus, the FDA acts to hide the information from the public to
foster profits for biotech companies and the growth of the biotech
industry. This is a betrayal of the public trust.
The leaders of the FDA are personally responsible and need to be held
accountable. This means Andrew von Eschenbach, M.D., temporary head
of the FDA and his chief science officer, Scott Gottlieb, M.D. These
men are not only obsessed with approving risky drugs for the benefits
of Big Pharma, it is now clear that they are willing to allow obvious
adulteration of the food supply. They seek to control what we eat,
and they are tampering with survival of the human race.
The FDA does not truly know how safe viral phages are to consume on a
regular basis. They have no idea of the cumulative effect over the
course of a lifetime, especially as more of these viral cocktails are
added to the food supply. They have no way to measure how this new
type of adulteration in the food supply will interact with the poor
digestive/immune health of half the American population, in
combination with all the other serious adulterations already approved
by the FDA. The FDA lacks due diligence in honoring its mandate to
protect the American public.
Boycott Viral Tainted Foods, Support Your Sustainable Farmers
The only hope Americans have is to resurrect the quality of our food
supply. Doing so is against the odds, as there are billions of
dollars of profit-mongering taking our food supply in the wrong
direction. One day Americans will realize that food security is as
important to national security as any other topic. It is now crystal
clear that we cannot count on the FDA to do the job that Harvey
Wiley, M.D., envisioned one-hundred years ago.
How can any responsible parent feed virus-tainted food to their
children? The FDA should be forced to revoke this approval. Since the
FDA is refusing to make food companies list the viruses as
ingredients in food, consumers have no choice but to avoid buying all
foods that could be sprayed. I see no other way that safety can be
assured, since the FDA refuses to do its job and is putting
American's health at risk.
Every American has an obligation to support food security for our
nation. Congress must correct the leadership at the FDA and the FDA
itself. Americans must quit buying poor quality toxic food. Your
greatest ability to change this problem is based entirely on what you
purchase.
Get connected to the sustainable family farms in your community. Buy
meat that is range raised without antibiotics and synthetic growth
hormones. Demand that the food you are eating is labeled with a
country of origin. Buy American; buy locally-produced food whenever
possible. Support those who truly believe in being the stewards of
our land and food for our people and for future generations. These
good people are being squashed out of existence by multi-national
agribusiness, companies that could truly care less about the quality
of our food supply or the security and health of Americans. How you
spend your money is your most powerful vote. Vote for those who care.

USDA Hides Another Biotech Disaster
By Megan Tady, The NewStandard
Posted on August 30, 2006, Printed on August 30, 2006
http://WWW.alternet.org/story/41012/
Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that U.S.
Commercial long-grain rice supplies are contaminated with "trace
amounts"
Of genetically engineered rice unapproved for human consumption.
The genetically engineered (G.E.) rice is known as Liberty Link (LL)
601.
Its genetic code has been modified to provide resistance to
herbicides and
Is illegal for marketing to humans because it has not undergone
Environmental and health impact reviews by the USDA and the Food and
Drug
Administration (FDA). LL601 was field-tested from 1998 to 2001 under
Permits granted by the USDA, but Bayer Corp Science, the developer of
the
Experimental rice, did not seek commercial approval for it.
The contamination was only disclosed after Bayer notified the USDA
itself.
Currently, the government relies on self-reporting from food
companies to
Determine genetically engineered (G.E.) contamination, rather than a
Federal testing system. The USDA dismissed concerns that companies
may not
Always "self-report" or even be aware of their mistakes, which would
lead
To further undetected contamination of unapproved G.E. Food.
It appears a separate company first detected the contamination in
January
Of this year and that Bayer may have known about the contamination
since
May. But the government was not notified until July 31. It took
another 18
Days for the USDA to tell the public.
At a press conference, Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns would not
Divulge how the contamination had happened, or how far it had spread.
It
Was unclear whether he even knew. Jim Rogers, a USDA spokesperson,
told
The NewStandard the contaminated rice was detected in barrels sent to
Missouri and Arizona.
"But the rice could have come from anywhere [in the U.S.]," Rogers
said.
Riceland, a farmer-owned cooperative that markets rice produced by
Southern farmers, issued a press release on August 18, saying it first
Discovered the contamination in January. Riceland conducted its own
tests
From several grain-storage locations and found: "A significant number
Tested positive for the Bayer trait. The positive results were
Geographically dispersed and random throughout the rice-growing area."
Riceland notified Bayer of the contamination in May, but did not
notify
The public or the government.
Johanns indicated that an economic motive was behind the government's
Delay of nearly three weeks before informing the public about the
Contamination, as the government anticipated foreign rice importers
might
Reject the product. The Secretary said the USDA spent the time
preparing
Tests for rice importers to check the product for contamination. The
U.S.
Constitutes about 12 percent of the world's rice trade.
There are currently no plans to destroy or recall the rice, and
Rogers is
Unsure if Bayer will be fined. While the government "validates" its
tests
For the rice, Johanns directed people to Bayer's website, saying the
Company "has made arrangements with private laboratories to run
tests" on
The rice.
Although the field tests for LL601 ended in 2001, the contamination
Appeared in a 2005 harvest, leaving some food-safety advocates to
worry
That the contamination has been present for several years and
suggesting
That genetically modified strains can persist in the environment well
After they have been discontinued in experiments.
Two other varieties of rice with the same gene and from the same
company
Have already been approved for human consumption, though never
marketed.
There is currently no known, intentional commercial U.S. Production of
Genetically engineered rice.
Johanns said that based on "available scientific data" provided by
Bayer,
The USDA and the FDA have concluded "that there are no human-health,
Food-safety or environmental concerns associated with this G.E. Rice."
When pressed about the health implications of the contaminated rice,
Rogers noted that foods from pesticide- and herbicide-resistant crops
are
Already on the market. In fact, according to the USDA, 70 percent of
Processed foods on grocery store shelves contain genetically
engineered
Ingredients.
Rogers dismissed concern that, because the government relies on
companies'
Self-reporting, there could be widespread contamination of unapproved
G.E.
Ingredients in the U.S. Food supply. He said the government did not
have
Plans to begin testing food itself.
But this is not the first time unapproved genetic material has escaped
Detection in the food supply. In 2004, the company Syngenta admitted
that
For four years, it had sold unapproved G.E. Maize in the U.S..
In response to the Bayer revelation, Greenpeace has called for a
worldwide
Ban on imports of U.S. Rice. Already, Japan has suspended U.S. rice
imports.
The Center for Food Safety, a public-interest organization, is also
calling for a moratorium on all new permits for open-air field
testing of
G.E. crops. The Center is concerned that open-air testing allows G.E.
crops to cross pollinate with neighboring non-GE crops.
"We see this as an opportunity to get out the message that this is a
radically new technology," said Bill Freese, science policy analyst
for
the Center. "These foods have not been tested, and we don't know if
they're safe."

Hi Group: I joined this group on behalf of my Dear friend Char. The Dr told her she had Scabies. We did everything in our power to get rid of. Then one day she called me in the bathroom,and white fibers were coming out of her lesions. I'll never be the same. One day we but the fiber in a plastic bag,and the fucker came out of the bag like casper. The sons of bitches are alive. She's brave,but I'm not. She's so tired and can't sleep. I'm so scared she'll get in a accident from lack of sleep. Char's a constuction worker,and she works 10hr days. Were really baffled about this. I'm the one who was searching on the computer,and ran across the Morgellon disease. She has all the symtoms of it. She needs some kinda of relief. I also have a question? does it effect cats and dogs? - She has both... Well that's my story. LoveYa,Gail [INLINE]

The fiber disease constitutes an infection with a genetically
modified
quorum sensing stem cell related micro organism.
Basically the organism represents a cyano bacterium that knows a
stage as a giant cell and as a mold.
Diversification resulting in morphologically different acting micro
organisms takes place by shaft, giant cell but also by fission.
Hence a coccidiod cyano bacterium like (single, diploid and chain
forming) micro organism that lives on the skin and in wounds is the
mayor responsible agent.
No association is made by micro biologist or histopathologist in
connection to this pathogen.
Nota bene,
Intermediate stages resemble a (quorum sensing) transparent gel
that constitutes a protoplasm. This makes detection of the agent in
biopsy impossible during standard clinical research.
Single cell micro organisms function on a multi cellular level,
communication between species of the same kind as well as different
kind is possible.
The micro organism has been fused with a mayor parasitic protozoa, a
butterfly (lepidoptera) and a mammal specie.
Multi lineage differentiation is fact.
The fibers constitute protein.
Specks are chitin like polymers.
Fibers represent cell that are most connected to sensing parts like
antennae, tongue, feet and wing.
The colors of the fibers are connected to the colored wing pattern
of Lepidoptera. Actually they constitute variants with a semi
parasitic nature.
Keratin erosion is evident.
The breeding ground for the organism in skin is almost exclusively
the follicle (stem cell per definition)
The phenomenon is directly linked to proteome and genome research
and it concerns commensal bacteria without the status of known
pathogen, but some members of the tree are known as nosocomial (like
the pseudomonas)
Infection resembles most protothecosis.
Amphoteracine B and amikacine will be the most logic choice for
therapy but no protocol exist for this type condition.
Sulfa Methoxazole/ Trimethoprim and Tetracycline and derivatives are
suppressive but not curative.
Also azoles like itraconazole, econazole, micanozole are effective.
Infection may directly or indirectly relate to IBS, fibromyalgia,
chronic fatigue syndrome, therapy resistant skin lesions,
onycholisis, neurogenic bladder and chorioretinitis.

The butterfly has been used because its adaptive wing pattern
represents key information that is used to steer manipulation.
One property of the wing of Lepidoptera is that it is a 2D
representation of genetic steps that also happen 3D.
A form of control and matter to deduct from.
But more insect technology is present in this fused organism.
Its proteomics relate to cellulose and its cellulose like properties
relate to chitin; a polymer like substance with important
properties.
(Brown specks is called "tanned chitin" like)
This adaptation including inherent neuro toxic properties of cyano
and variant glyco protein properties that stem from its mayor
parasitic protozoa input, made it a perfect base for tissue
adaptation;
to know inherent suppression of the immune system by its neuro toxic
properties and evasion of the immune system by variant glyco
proteins.
Hence, artificial tissue research is part of its initial design.
(check chitin and derivatives by Google and cellulose/ bio synthesis
by cyanobacteria)
Perfect but pathogenic adaptation to mammal tissue can also be found
in other type quorum sensing (film forming) micro organisms that are
known for its microbial resistance.
The fibers represent (variant, quorum sensing micro organisms that
unite and go into a dormant stage) a pseudo apoptotic stage!
That fibers constitute protein tubes is thus evident.
Cyanobacteria are an in between organism representing "a half plant,
half animal like micro organism"

The fiber disease constitutes infection with a coccidiod
cyanobacterial like quorum sensing stem cell related micro organism.
Single cell micro organism will start to act as multi cellular
organisms. Communication between species of the same kind as well as
different kind is possible.
Multi lineage differentiation is fact.
Its preference for the skin follicle is fact.
The fibers constitute dormant (pseudo apoptotic) quorum sensing
micro organisms that gather in the form of a variant most resembling
a sensing polymer.
Actually they are cell that most relate to sensors
(this fact does not relate to its quorum sensing)
The colors relate to the wing (pattern) color of Lepidoptera.
Fibers consist out of protein tubes.
Algae and quorum sensors like pseudomonas are found on infected
persons.
Algae (blue-green) thus cyanobacteria is its base.
One of its mayor properties constitutes an intermediate stage (as
contained lysis and sporulation kept together in an agar )
This stage you also could regard as a protoplasm
Its cellulose type character is about one step away from chitin.
Specks are tanned chitin like.
All elements differentiate, including its gel.
Insect cell technology represents proteome and genome research.
The responsible micro organisms are right in front of You but are
not considered pathogenic (except that they may be regarded
nosocomial)
The fact that all this is the case is also the reason that the
spread is beyond control.
Its now an everybody disease with the character of protothecosis.
Will disseminate (as an amyloid type disease thus constitute protein
accumulation in tissue)
You also could state that foreign protein will gradually replace
healthy tissue.
The extensor, wrist and scalp are most affected.
Look up:
protothecosis.
cyano/cellulose/ chitin and biosynthesis
Lesions will finally heal but will stay active foci that
periodically will relapse.
Its a systemic disease caused by (opportunistic) acting quorum
sensing micro organisms.
Involvement of the CNS is not only related to the secretome of this
modified cyano.
It is also related to its mayor parasitic protozoa input that made
this organism cyclical
(earlier mentioned variant glyco protein like properties)
Rational spin off would be artificial tissue (research)
Its about evasion of the immune system and bio compatibility.
check:
BMAA/ cyanobacter
Micro cystis/ blooming algae
Cellulose/ cyanobacterium/ Texas scientists (BBC)
Yes, cocci RESEMBLING micro organism.
Known properties: will chain into diploid, triploid forms etc
For the PCR: try to get hold on the algae and its kissing vibrio
(...)
Fibers are variant and in a way unite plant systematic with insect
cell technology.
Its nerve cell, insect/ plant like behavior has a relation with
keratin an
extension of the follicle (stem cell) e.g in the form of a shaft!
Keratin erosion can be observed.
Preference for the follicle can be observed.
An opportunistic character can be observed
(areas of repair thus; stem cell related)
The nail plate and its cuticle... that is stem cell related.
And a circle on top of Your head... that is stem cell related.
All is about invasion of in particular folding matter.
How political simple things can be!

Now that we're not eating sweets, what are we eating? I need some ideas and maybe you do, as well.

I wait til boneless, skinless chicken breast is on sale. Then I stock up. I bake it, then shredd it, then add the mustard of my choice (cranberry mustard has carbs) and mix it up. Plain meat tends to be low carb.

Carrots and beets are high carb.

I'm trying to figure out how I can make a no carb chocolate cake.

The Fluoride Conspiracy
"Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it."
- Adolf Hitler
"Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this
century."
- Robert Carlton, Ph.D, former EPA scientist, 1992
The history of forcing fluoride on humans through the fluoridation
of drinking water is wrought with lies, greed and deception.
Governments that add fluoride to drinking water supplies insist that
it is safe, beneficial and necessary, however, scientific evidence
shows that fluoride is not safe to ingest and areas that fluoridate
their drinking water supplies have higher rates of cavities, cancer,
dental fluorosis, osteoporosis and other health problems. Because of
the push from the aluminum industry, pharmaceutical companies and
weapons manufacturers, fluoride continues to be added to water
supplies all over North America and due to recent legal actions
against water companies that fluoridate drinking water supplies,
precedent has been set that will make it impossible for suits to be
filed against water suppliers that fluoridate. There is a growing
resistance against adding toxic fluoride to our water supplies, but
unfortunately, because fluoride has become "the lifeblood of the
modern industrial economy"(Bryson 2004), there is too much money at
stake for those who endorse water fluoridation . The lies of the
benefits of water fluoridation will continue to be fed to the
public, not to encourage health benefits to a large number of
people, but to profit the military-industrial complex.
The story begins in 1924, when Interessen Gemeinschaft Farben (I.G.
Farben), a German chemical manufacturing company, began receiving
loans from American bankers, gradually leading to the creation of
the huge I.G. Farben cartel. In 1928 Henry Ford and American
Standard Oil Company (The Rockefellers) merged their assets with
I.G. Farben, and by the early thirties, there were more than a
hundred American corporations which had subsidiaries and co-
operative understandings in Germany. The I.G. Farben assets in
America were controlled by a holding Company, American I.G. Farben,
which listed on it's board of directors: Edsel Ford, President of
the Ford Motor Company, Chas. E. Mitchell, President of
Rockerfeller's National City Bank of New York, Walter Teagle,
President of Standard Oil New York, Paul Warburg, Chairman of the
federal reserve and brother of Max Warburg, financier of Germany's
War effort, Herman Metz, a director of the Bank of Manhattan,
controlled by the Warburgs, and a number of other members, three of
which were tried and convicted as German war criminals for their
crimes against humanity. In 1939 under the Alted agreement, the
American Aluminum Company (ALCOA), then the worlds largest producer
of sodium fluoride, and the Dow Chemical Company transferred its
technology to Germany. Colgate, Kellogg, Dupont and many other
companies eventually signed cartel agreements with I.G. Farben,
creating a powerful lobby group accurately dubbed "the fluoride
mafia"(Stephen 1995).
At the end of World War II, the US government sent Charles Eliot
Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology
and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in
Germany. The German chemists told Perkins of a scheme which they had
devised during the war and had been adapted by the German General
Staff. The German chemists explained of their attempt to control the
population in any given area through the mass medication of drinking
water with sodium fluoride, a tactic used in German and Russian
prisoner of war camps to make the prisoners "stupid and
docile"(Stephen 1995). Farben had developed plans during the war to
fluoridate the occupied countries because it was found that
fluoridation caused slight damage to a specific part of the brain,
making it more difficult for the person affected to defend his
freedom and causing the individual to become more docile towards
authority. Fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic
substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of the
major tranquilizers. It may not seem surprising that Hitler's regime
practiced the concept of mind control through chemical means, but
the American military continued Nazi research, exploring techniques
to incapacitate an enemy or medicate an entire nation. As stated in
the Rockerfeller Report, a Presidential briefing on CIA
activities, "the drug program was part of a much larger CIA program
to study possible means of controlling human behavior"(Stephen 1995).
The `dental caries prevention myth' associated with fluoride,
originated in the United States in 1939, when a scientist named
Gerald J. Cox, employed by ALCOA, the largest producer of toxic
fluoride waste and at the time being threatened by fluoride damage
claims, fluoridated some lab rats, concluded that fluoride reduced
cavities and claimed that it should be added to the nation's water
supplies. In 1947, Oscar R. Ewing, a long time ALCOA lawyer, was
appointed head of the Federal Security Agency , a position that
placed him in charge of the Public Health Service(PHS). Over the
next three years, eighty-seven new American cities began
fluoridating their water, including the control city in a water
fluoridation study in Michigan, thus eliminating the most
scientifically objective test of safety and benefit before it was
ever completed.
American `education and research' was funded by the Aluminum
Manufacturing, Fertilizer and Weapons Industry looking for an outlet
for the increasingly mounting fluoride industrial waste while
attaining positive profit increase. The `discovery' that fluoride
benefited teeth, was paid for by industry that needed to be able to
defend "lawsuits from workers and communities poisoned by industrial
fluoride emissions" (Bryson 1995) and turn a liability into an
asset. Fluoride, a waste constituent in the manufacturing processes
of explosives, fertilizers and other `necessities', was expensive to
dispose of properly and until a `use' was found for it in America's
water supplies, the substance was only considered a toxic, hazardous
waste. Through sly public re-education, fluoride, once a waste
product, became the active ingredient in fluorinated pesticides,
fungicides, rodenticides, anesthetics, tranquilizers, fluorinated
pharmaceuticals, and a number of industrial and domestic products,
fluorinated dental gels, rinses and toothpastes. Fluoride is so much
a part of a multibillion-dollar industrial and pharmaceutical
income, that any withdrawal of support from pro-fluoridationists is
financially impossible, legally unthinkable and potentially
devastating for their career and reputation.
Funded by US industrialists, in an attempt to encourage public
acceptance of fluoride, Edward Bernays, known also as the father of
PR, or the original spin doctor, began a campaign of deception to
persuade public opinion. Barnays explained "you can get practically
any idea accepted if doctors are in favour. The public is willing to
accept it because a doctor is an authority to most people,
regardless of how much he knows or doesn't know"(Bryson 2004).
Doctors who endorsed fluoridation didn't know that research
discrediting fluoride's safety was either suppressed or not
conducted in the first place. Fluoride became equated with
scientific progress and since it was introduced to the public as a
health-enhancing substance, added to the environment for the
children's sake, those opposing fluoride were dismissed as cranks,
quacks and lunatics. Fluoride became impervious to criticism because
of a relentless PR offensive, but also because of it's overall
toxicity. Unlike chemicals that have a signature effect, fluoride, a
systemic poison, produces a range of health problems, so it's
effects are more difficult to diagnose.
Recently declassified US Military documents such as Manhattan
Project, shows how Fluoride is the key chemical in atomic bomb
production and millions of tonnes of it were needed for the
manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium. Fluoride poisoning,
not radiation poisoning, emerged as the leading chemical health
hazard for both workers and nearby communities. A-bomb scientists
were ordered to provide evidence useful for defense in litigation,
so they began secretly testing fluoride on unsuspecting hospital
patients and indignant, mentally retarded children.. "The August
1948 Journal of the American Dental Association shows that evidence
of adverse effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic
Energy Commission for reasons of "national security" (Griffiths
1998). The only report released stated that fluoride was safe for
humans in small doses.
During the Cold War, Dr. Harold C. Hodge, who had been the
toxicologist for the US Army Manhattan Project, was the leading
scientific promoter of water fluoridation. While Dr. Hodge was
reassuring congress of the safety of water fluoridation, he was
covertly conducting one of the nation's first public water
fluoridation experiments in Newburgh, New York, secretly studying
biological samples from Newburgh citizens at his US laboratory at
the University of Rochester. Since there are no legal constraints
against the suppression of scientific data, the only published
conclusion resulting from these experiments was that fluoride was
safe in low doses, a profoundly helpful verdict for the US Military
who feared lawsuits for fluoride injury from workers in nuclear
power plants and munitions factories. Fluoride pollution was one of
the biggest legal worries facing key US industrial sectors during
the cold war. A secret group of corporate attorneys, known as the
Fluorine Lawyers Committee, whose members included US Steel, ALCOA,
Kaiser Aluminum, and Reynolds Metals, commissioned research at the
Kettering Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati to "provide
ammunition"(Bryson 2004) for those corporations who were fighting a
wave of citizen claims for fluoride injury. The Fluorine Lawyers
Committee and their medical ambassadors were in personal and
frequent contact with the senior officials of the federal National
Institute for Dental Research, and have been implied in
the `burying' of the forty year old Kettering study, which showed
that fluoride poisoned the lungs and lymph nodes in laboratory
animals. Private interests, sought to destroy careers and censor
information by ensuring that scientific studies raising doubts about
the safety of fluoride never got funded, and if they did, never got
published.
During the 1990's, research conducted by Harvard toxicologist
Phillis Mullenix showed that fluoride in water may lead to lower
IQ's, and produced symptoms in rats strongly resembling attention
deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Just days before her
research was accepted for publication, Mullenix was fired as the
head of toxicology at the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston. Then her
application for a grant to continue her fluoride and central nervous
system research was turned down by the US National Institute of
Health (NIH), when an NIH panel told her that "fluoride does not
have central nervous system effects"(Griffiths 1998).
Despite growing evidence that it is harmful to public health, US
federal and state pubic health agencies and large dental and medical
organizations such as the American Dental Association (ADA),
continue to promote fluoride. Water fluoridation continues, despite
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s own scientists, whose
union, Chapter 280 of the National Treasury Employees Union, has
taken a strong stand against it. Dr. William Hirzy, vice president
of Chapter 280, stated that "fluoride (that is added to municipal
water) is a hazardous waste product for which there is substantial
evidence of adverse health effects and, contrary to public
perception, virtually no evidence of significant benefits"( Mullenix
1998). Although fluoride is up to fifty times more toxic than sulfur
dioxide, it is still not regulated as an air pollutant by the
American Clean Air Act. Since thousands of tonnes of industrial
fluoride waste is poured into drinking water supplies all over North
America, supposedly to encourage gleaming smiles in our children,
big industry in the US has the benefit of emitting as much fluoride
waste into the environment as they like with absolutely no
requirement to measure emissions and no way of being held
accountable for poisoning people, animals and vegetation.
In August 2003, the EPA requested that the National Research
Council, the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS),
re-evaluate water fluoride safety standards by reviewing recent
scientific literature, because the last review in 1993 had major
gaps in research. "Neither the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), nor the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR), nor
the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has any proof on
fluoride's safety or effectiveness"(Sterling 1993). The
International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified
fluoride as an
