		<description>I think that 70% had chronic fatigue is very signicant.That tells me something is off right there.

 Of course they are going to find some clothing fibers stuck on the open lesions,thats no surprize.

They still dont know why Morgellons people have abnormal amounts of fibers on their bodys .ABNORMAL being key word.

Ive experienced the fibers so I know there is something to it .

Now that my symptoms are down,so are the fibers.

All I know is taking large amounts of VitC(10-20 grams) daily keeps crawling symptoms at bay for me  .So does drinking apple cider vinegar.

For some people just eating healthy and eliminating junk
 foods and sugar really helps.

Its very important for people with morgellons symptoms to eat healthy and live healthy life styles .Ive seen many improve from just that.

Whatever  it is seems to thrive on sugar/carbs.

Im writing these things not to argue but to help anyone who has these morgellons symptoms.</description>

		<description>It indicates that there&#039;s no COMMON underlying cause to the symptoms. It also said the fibers seemed to just be natural, cotton and suchlike, from clothing.</description>

		<description>This study doesnt really prove anything.

All it proves is they still dont know what morgellons symptoms are caused from.

(They used to think stomach ulcers were caused from stress until they proved they are mostly caused from a bacteria ......)

Going  to a doctor to rule out other things, cant argue with that . But most of the time they can not help you ,or know what to do, or find anything and send you on your way .Thats the PROBLEM!

Some cases they find other serious diseases so its important to get checked out ,I aggree.</description>

		<description>I received the below article in a Google Alert.   If the photograph is to be believed,  it appears to be a larger fragment of the,  well publicized over the internet,  artificial knee that Jan Smith had replaced.



&lt;blockquote&gt;CDC calls Morgellons’ nanoworms a delusion, protects DARPA

January 30th, 2012

By Rady Ananda

Excerpt:

“People who suffer from Morgellons disease are NOT delusional no matter what the CDC or the mainstream press would have you believe,” says Jan Smith of MorgellonsExposed.com. She’s suffered with Morgellons for over 13 years.

The image above is on her home page. “Ponder why a person with Morgellons disease would have tissue coming out of their body with embossed letters on it. This photo is real and the sample has not been altered in any way. It is available for research and DNA testing.” [5]

The CDC study reported, “Most materials collected from participants’ skin were composed of cellulose, likely of cotton origin.”

One of the specimens extruded from Smith’s body was found to be composed of cellulose and GNA, the synthetic form of DNA. [6] Glycol nucleic acid does not occur naturally; it is used to create synthetic life forms. [7]&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Just found your site,wish the history channel would retract statements their past shows have made about Morgellons with this news revealed. I mean I guess it is history technically,but really? These shows have showed inaccurate information and I would think they care about their educational reputation...</description>

		<description>This report will at least give medical practitioners a firm basis for understanding the condition. It will also provide the media with perspective, so they stop doing such breathless stories. 

It is very sad that for many people though, this will make little difference. One hopes that it will at least help with the marginal cases.</description>

		<description>Hello, Michael.   Well,  it would certainly be nice if all of the morgies were in the position to be accepting of the conclusion of the CDC&#039;s study.   They could all decide to treat the various underlying causes which directly contributed to the development of their bizarre symptoms and be on the road to better health.   But, of course, that&#039;s not how something like this goes,  and their quacks are going to continue playing along with them.   What a bummer.</description>

		<description>This site is great.  Anything to fight erroneous claims on the internet is necessary.  Unfortunately sites like this are vastly outnumbered by enabling sites.  Morgellons sounded like a obsessive/hypochondriac personality created disease when I first heard about it and the more I read about it the more it confirms my belief.  I mean come on these &quot;bodily emissions&quot; are tested to be strands of cotton and nylon?  What organism on earth secretes threads of cotton or nylon?

This disease is likely psychological possibly coupled with a hypersensitive nervous system.  Unfortunately people will continue to &quot;have&quot; this disease since no one wants to be told they are crazy (I don&#039;t necessarily think that&#039;s what they are but that is what they will feel when they hear its psych related).  They will turn inward to their enabling community and in some ways it will make it stronger.  

Regardless keep up the good work here.  I just found this site because my interest was piqued due to this study.  I&#039;ll check back occasionally.</description>
