Comments on: What is the CDC doing about Morgellons?

Hello -
This is my first post anywhere on the topic of Morgellons. I’ve had these bumpy patches developing on my lower legs, then up the thighs, as well as the forearms, over the past 2-3 years.
Initially, I thought it was my aging skin – perhaps damaged by too much exposure to the sun in the mid-80s. (I’m the fair-skinned type.) Then about 6 months ago, my wife started complaining of being “bitten” on her usually-perfect skin. We figured it might be scabies, though my doctor had diagnosed me about a year earlier with “eczema”. So to respond to the scabies, I got a prescription for the least intrusive response – sulfur cream. We applied this sulfur cream for 4 nights in a row to all members of the family from the jaw-line down to our toes. Then another application about a week after the 4-night application. Symptoms seemed to ease – at least the biting disappeared… for a couple of weeks.

Now — flashback to summer of 2006. I was working in Eastern Europe as a consultant, and we got to spend a week in Crimea, Ukraine on the Black Sea. After about 5 days of swimming in the strong brine of the Black Sea, we decided to visit our host’s sanatorium-resort (”kurort” in Russian), and we saw the rich black sulphurous muds that people were applying to their bodies. My hosts, my family and I then all jumped into the black mud, covering everything save our eyeballs with the black mud. We stood there in the hot afternoon sunshine, absorbing the sun’s heat into the black muck on our skin – probably 20 minute we stood there. Then we washed it all off in the salty brine of the lagoon.
Result? Honest to God – my skin was like a baby’s bottom all over for at least 3 weeks after that. No pimples, eruptions, or even hint of Morgellons-type skin surface symptoms. The dangerous part about our escapade in the Black Sea muds was that we most likely overdid it, as my wife couldn’t sleep all night, and a day or two later I seemed to feel a stress in my heart area. (In fact, a 54-year-old German man died from an overstay in the black muds just a week before our arrival in Crimea.) Ukrainians who make use of the black sea muds generally do so under doctor supervision, who prescribes the specific body areas that are to be covered, and for how long. We walked in like a bunch of wild pigs, and simply revelled in covering ourselves in black mud.
I suspect that my re-infection with pimple-like cysts (aka Morgellons) started up again because my clothing was infested with the “textile-like” particles, which I didn’t properly segregate from my life.

My wife just discovered Morgellons on the internet yesterday, but the symptoms appear to correspond for me. I’ve been reading some of the herbal remedies that are out there to mitigate the effects. However, my goal is to get my sorry ass back to the mud flats of either the Black Sea or the Dead Sea this summer, and deliberately set about following a schedule of mud applications – maybe 10 minutes of mud on every other day for a total of about 5 applications over 10 days.

Reading the blogs, it seems that there have been some 12 cases of people who’ve overcome Morgellons symptoms by using alfalfa baths. It’s possible… but I know what worked for me, and I’m leaning towards the muds.

Misty, if you can find and remove the parasites, why can’t you show them to Doctor Wymore?

How can it be worse than HIV? In what way?

I’m sorry you are ill. But there might be other causes for your illness than some novel pathogen.

Tallcotton , you should have your facts before you make statements as such. There are now doctors and nurses with this illness. These people are not cult members. I have this illness. It is caused by a parasite under the skin. Found it, removed them, has been told to the CDC for over 5 years. They lied and hid it. What you should be afraid of is nothing kills it and it is contagious. It has hit every state in the US. It eats you slowly. No lie. That is what DR.Wymore is working on. This is a pathogen worse than HIV. So you should be aware and scared! As the CDC has let this spread all this time and told no one. They said it was lymes. Ha I have fought this for 4 years and am hardly ever on forums except to keep up on the progress. It’s not made up or in our heads. You had better hope you don’t get it. As no one knows how you get it or how it’s being spread. It’s everywhere. Since am 24 years USAF retired and know bio weapons, this isn’t in anyone’s head. It’s real and it’s a nightmare. The CDC just let it go on and on. How do you like that one? Plus half of illnesses now, might be this. It can eat you bones,muscles,and your brain. So get your facts. Hundreds of people have been contacted on this illness. Even Geogia has set up a task force trying to get the CDC to do something. Before everyone has it. Now how’s that?

hello,
the thrip photos are mine. i did not only get them OFF the skin,i actually saw them emerge FROM (OUT OF) the skin, and i continue to live with the truth of this bizarre situation, and you continue to call me a liar.
go figure, YOU ARE THE FOOL, for misleading people who are crying for help, but Misery Michael you ARE actually getting the word OUT….. your writing talents could have easily been used for good? (WHAT YOU SAY? NO PAY?)
so i say thank you for increasing Morgellons awareness, this IS a novel parasite, that with a little work could be found out and eradicated!! E-MAIL ME, WE’LL MEET, I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO INFECT SOMEONE! better yet, i’ll infect YOU… on purpose, then I’ll see you change your tune, then you’ll change sides. we could use you to advocate, but for now, you have a big uninformed judgemental voice that makes you look like the fool to the people who know the truth.

I think true morgellons is caused by the fibers released on our population by chemtrails. The fibers are magnetized from the ground by HAARP and others in an effort to control the weather. Some have reported that these fibers move on their own. Perhaps they move because of static electricity or an individual’s magnetic field. But how do chemtrail fibers penetrate the skin?

“What is the CDC doing about Morgellons?” They still recommend the ONLY logical thing to do.

Subject: Public Inquiry for Morgellons Syndrome

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the condition some refer to as “Morgellons.” CDC is presently bringing together medical experts from several scientific specialties in a working group to help us understand this pattern of illness or syndrome.

Our aim is to gather information on people reporting this condition to see if they share common traits, experiences, or anything that might have put them at risk for these symptoms.

We hope to learn enough about the condition so we can offer useful advice for control or treatment, something that is not possible now because too little is known.

Since CDC has no clinical center or hospital to evaluate or treat patients, we urge persons who believe they are suffering from this condition or who have distressing symptoms to seek evaluation and medical care from their local health care providers.

(A new public inquiry has been received from the CDC Internet for the above referenced subject.This is an automated system. Please do not reply to this message.)

I think the treatments they’ve been offered might help, if they tried, but none seem willing to go that route.
It actually seems they’d rather live torturous lives until the bitter end.–>
