Morgellons Fits Profile Of An ET Organism
by Samuel Feldman
6-25-6

http://www.schmoo.co.uk/morgellons.htm

Dear Jeff...

I've assembled a lot of data on Morgellons and now believe the preponderance of evidence suggests we are, in fact, dealing with an off-planet issue. Please read the material below. Thanks for your heroic work and boundless courage.

Sam

Read this:  

"Most amazing, says Louis, the cells can reproduce under conditions that usually kill life.

"These cells can be cultured at high temperature (about 600° F) and pressure conditions and at high temperature their growth rate (i.e. multiplication) can be very fast.

"The details on replication are being submitted to another journal."

So, I then read these articles:

And then I read this one:

Temperature and Pressure Experimentation With Red Rain Cells

"Over several months, Dr. Louis began experimenting with different temperatures to see if the cells would respond. As the temperature rose, he saw more activity. Eventually he got up to 300 degrees Celsius, which is about 600 degrees Fahrenheit. He also increased the pressure to 300 pounds per square centimeter. It is assumed that normal Earth life would die at such a high temperature and pressure. But the red-walled cells in the Kerala rain water seemed to thrive."

So, what we have in Kerala is scientific data that compels us to do... and do so quickly... the same experiments on Morgellons fibers. If Morgellons is, in fact, an ET 'organism' of some kind, we are facing something that is perhaps threatening to all life on the planet Earth. ALL life.

Kind regards,
Sam Feldman

 Morgellons - Weird 'Alien' Bug Hits Thousands In US

by Samuel Feldman
6-25-6

"I think we are a looking at a major problem that has been
unrecognized in humanity right now."

-- Dr. William Harvey

NASA

Over 1000 people in Texas, Florida and California are saying that they are suffering from a nasty new skin complaint, but doctors are telling them they are 'delusional'.

It is a weird 'bug' which sounds like something from an 'X Files' script, but it seems to be real, despite official denials from the US medical establishment. No one knows what it is, and most people suffering from it are told they are suffering from 'Delusional Parasitosis' by their doctors.

However, now there is mounting evidence that it is the doctors and the US medical establishment who are 'delusional', not their unfortunate patients. There are currently over 1,100 hundred known cases in the U.S., mostly in Texas, Florida and California of what is being called 'Morgellons', and it is spreading.
 

 


Bugs crawling under your skin
Victims feel like bugs are crawling under their skin.

 

They have little blue fibers, and black specks and white threads coming out of their skins. Under the skin, those fibers are connected to what appears to be a cluster of fibers or in some instances, parasitic looking organisms.

One Morgellons patient Eric Roberson said, 'It's almost like they're intertwined with your muscle tissue,"

"The lesions start out as bumps that are itchy, little round raised bumps. The fibers are quite alarming." said another.

"When you lay down, as soon as your head hits the pillow, your hair starts crawling," says Becky Bailey.

"It gives you the sensation that you have worms under your skin or rats crawling on you," says Miles Lawrence.

Another victim, Becky Bailey moved out of her Austin, Texas home and into a trailer hoping to escape the bugs that torment her.

"We ripped out our carpet and burned our carpet and furniture and move out into our R-V and they were still on me."

A victim in California Dillon King committed suicide because he could not stand the feeling of bugs crawling under his skin any longer. His mother is quoted:

"The hardest thing was seeing him just get worse all the time".

King's fiancée, Elizabeth Strong, says she thinks he picked up some kind of 'weird infection', and that she's now beginning to show the same symptoms.

"It started as a small sore and kept spreading," she said.

The Morgellons Research Foundation, which is campaigning for more research to be done, reports that unexplained hair loss, as well as a hardening or thickening of skin is also a common symptom and that many people report lymphedema, profound fatigue, and joint pain.

Objects described as granules are often found associated with skin lesions as well and several victims have had lymph nodes surgically removed due to obstruction.

The fibers have been analyzed by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and have been identified as cellulose. Since true fungi are not able to synthesize cellulose, the Foundation is currently focused on the 'Oomycetes' class of fungus-like organisms.

 

Apparently 'Pythium insidiosum' is the only Oomycete which has been documented to cause human infections.
 

 


Skeptic doctors and the 'Matchbox Sign'
Morgellons victim Jane Waldoch, a nurse for 24 year says she finds fibers that look like crunched up bugs in her sheets every morning. They come from the dozens of sores that cover her arms, legs, back and neck.

She began collecting samples of what was coming out of her skin. She thought it would help her doctors diagnose this bizarre and painful skin condition. She was wrong.

 

Doctors took it as a sign that Jane was delusional.

"One of the hallmark clues to delusional parasitosis is what they call the matchbox sign. I guess in the older days people would take their samples in little match boxes to their physician," she says.

Mary Leitao, a biologist and the executive director of the Morgellons Research Foundation, said doctors have become,

"a brick wall. They have their answer, and they aren't open to discussing the possibility they could be wrong."
"They are so smug and sure they are right," she said.

Dr. Peter Lynch of the University of California, a dermatologist for 40 years, is one of the few skeptical experts who have been willing to even talk on the record. Other have ignored emails and telephone calls.

 

He said,

"If there were a peer-reviewed study, with 15 or 20 patients who have the same exact thing in their skins, then maybe I'd believe it,"

"When fiberglass curtains first came out, many people with skin conditions were diagnosed with delusions of parasitosis (DOP). But studies showed these patients had tiny (fiberglass particles) in their skin."

"Anecdotal evidence doesn't carry much weight," Lynch said. "There are many anecdotes of alien abductions, but that doesn't mean they are true. And as for the pictures, you can see pictures of the Loch Ness Monster on the Internet, too."

Leitao and other members of the Morgellons Research Foundation are not impressed with these arguments and point to the mounting evidence.

Californian microbiologist Jenny Haverty for example, has done research on the mystery malady. Her findings point to something very definitely physical going on.

"I accepted specimens from four different people in four different counties in the Bay Area, and I looked at them very carefully over and over again under the microscope," she said.

"The colors and shapes of the fibers of each individual were very, very similar."

She reports that tests on similar fibers taken those of several other patients in the Bay Area show them to be tiny tubes of protein. But how and why the filaments are formed remains a mystery for now.
 

 


Evidence of link to Lyme Disease
Evidence is beginning to mount linking Morgellons to Lyme Disease which can be caught from tick bites.

 

Ginger Savely, a medical practitioner in Austin Texas, says she's seeing more and more patients in her clinic with the symptoms. Quoted in a local newspaper she said "Talking about it just sounds crazy, but there are just a lot of things that come out of their skin."

Savely specializes in Lyme Disease and believes there may be a link. She says that about 10 percent of her patients with chronic Lyme disease have symptoms of Morgellons. He theory is that people with the tick-borne Lyme Disease have weaker immune systems, and may be more vulnerable to the Morgellons infection.

The Morgellons Research Foundation says that forty-four people with Morgellons have tested positive for Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the bacteria which causes Lyme Disease.

 

They believe that an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) may alter the individual's immune system and allow this unknown organism to become an opportunistic coinfection.
 

 


Ancient Engine of An Unrecognized 'Borreliosis' Pandemic?
A former NASA physician and epidemiologist based in Houston also believes there is an infectious bacteria at the heart of this problem.

Dr. William Harvey is the current chairman of the NASA Education Advisory Committee. He has documented more than 565 of these (Borreliosis) cases in Texas and says 94% of (those with Morgellons' skin lesions) have tested positive for the bacteria associated with Lyme disease, or Borreliosis.

"I think we are a looking at a major problem that has been unrecognized in humanity right now."

Harvey co-authored a published medical study concluding the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, associated with Lyme disease, could be at the heart of a widely unknown misdiagnosed infection.

In 2003 Harvey published his research in the medical journal Medical Hypotheses. His article 'Lyme Disease: Ancient Engine of an Unrecognized Borreliosis Pandemic', suggests that the bacteria associated with Lyme disease is much more widely distributed.

"The yet-unrecognized form appears to have a broader clinical presentation, wider geographic distribution, and vastly greater prevalence," Harvey wrote in his report.

He says research suggests it attacks the immune system in a specific way rendering it susceptible to these unusual organisms.

"The lab tests that we do are predictably showing certain immune damage and it is consistent from patient to patient to patient to patient."

Harvey believes the bacteria is the bigger problem. But the so-called parasites, which have yet to be clinically proven in a controlled laboratory setting, do have highly unusual characteristics as seen through a scanning electron microscope.

Harvey says some of the "filaments" have been confirmed as the infectious yeast Candida tropicalis and that doctors can easily see the physical symptoms in people who are branded "delusional." He says when patients complain that "fibers" are coming out of their skin sores, physicians should investigate.

"All the doctors have to do is buy a 30X hand-held microscope from Radio Shack and look," Harvey said. "The facts speak for themselves."

 

 

Microscopic bug called 'Collembolan' could also be involved
The 'National Pediculosis Association' in Boston, Massachusetts, originally created to increase awareness about head lice and protect children from pesticides has also done some research.

 

They teamed up with the Oklahoma State Department of Health to study Morg. They took skin samples from 20 patients who claim they have the bugs, but were diagnosed by their doctors as delusional. Researchers found collembolan, a microscopic bug, in 18 of the 20 patients.

Collembola feed on algae, bacteria and decaying matter. They thrive in wet or damp surroundings, and can be found under leaky kitchen or bathroom sinks, swimming pools, and the soil of potted plants. The report has been published in the journal of the New York Entomological Association.

Who is really delusional?

So, it seems there is in fact a real bug, or even a 'willing coalition' of bugs at large in the United States attacking innocent citizens, despite official denials. It also seems that it is the US medical establishment that is 'delusional', not their unfortunate patients. Either that, or they are lieing through their bleached white teeth.

 

Or possibly both.

 Morgellons - Mysterious Ecto-Parasites
 SafeSolutionsInc.com
6-24-6
A mysterious skin disease is currently spreading across America, and doctors are searching for answers on how to stop the epidemic.

The disease, called Morgellons Disease, is a parasite-like infection that literally makes the infected person's skin crawl. The disease has already been found in thousands of patients in Florida , Texas and California.

"I would lay in the bed and it felt like an army of ants just crawling over the bed, all over my body," says one Morgellons Disease sufferer.

"It never goes away," says another. "It doesn't die, it doesn't leave."

What sounds like a science fiction movie is actually real life for the unlucky people who have contracted the disease which leaves painful sores all over the body. The sores ooze blue fibers, white threads and little black specks of sand-like material.

The worst part, patients say, is the creepy and constant sensation of bugs crawling under their skin.

Also discouraging, is the patient's treatment by doctors, who have little knowledge about the disease, and in specific cases have lacked compassion for the sufferers.

"I was so humiliated from the three doctors that I went to, that I just refused to go back," said on patient.

Becky Bailey moved out of her Austin, Texas home and into a trailer hoping to escape the bugs that torment her.

"We ripped out our carpet and burned our carpet and furniture and move out into our R-V and they were still one me."

Without medical help, suffering families researched their symptoms on their own by way of the internet. Finally, they were able to put a name to their pain ­ Morgellons.

The sickly skin disease has actually been around for centuries. In 1935, an English physician wrote a paper about Morgellons including excerpts from medical journals from the 1600's, describing the disease. Unfortunately, not much was known then about Morgellons -- and not much has been learned in the more than 400 years since.

What is known, is that many of people who may have it, suffer from these symptoms: constant itching/crawling sensation, chronic fatigue, brain fog or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, joint swelling or hair loss. What you should do if you have these symptoms, is as puzzling as the disease itself.

One woman in Pittsburgh, PA made it her mission to find out what causes and what will cure this bizarre disease. Mary Leitao is a biologist and the creator the Morgellons Research Foundation in Pittsburgh.

 

Her goal is to get State Health Agencies and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to study this disease.

"It's inhumane that these people have been allowed to go home and have been forced to research this day in and day out for years on their own," says Leitao.

Leitao's motivations come from her 6 year old boy Drew. Four years ago, he began to feel the itch.

"He started describing bugs. He said, mommy, bugs, and he would scratch."

Then came the sores that shed the fibers. Mary took drew to the doctor and the doctor said it was nothing to worry about.

"I was going to find an answer, or I was going to have to take my life, that's all there was too it."

Doctors don't know what causes the disease, who is at risk and exactly how many people may be suffering. The Morgellon Foundation says they have about 12 hundred people registered on their site. Those are only people who have a computer and happened to find them online.

In Jacksonville, more than a dozen cases have been found. For Anne Dill, standing in her backyard, looking over the lake is physically and emotionally painful.

 

This silence and solitude serves as a constant reminder of what her family is facing.

"We're going to lose everything, our house, our dreams," says Dill.

Five years ago, the dills bought their dream home in Lake City.

 

They spent most of their free time at their lake with friends, and thought life was pretty close to perfect. Then, three years ago, Anne, her husband and their four children all got very sick at the very same time. They think they have Morgellons, even though they have no idea how they would have contracted it.

Morgellons is an unusual parasite-like skin disease, which produces irritating sores all over the body. These sores ooze blue fibers, white threads and little black specks of sand-like material. The Dills say they're also plagued with a constant, creepy crawling feeling of bugs under their skin.

However, the most agonizing symptom is the chronic fatigue. The Dills are so tired and so weak, they spend nearly all of their time, at home.

The father, Tom Dill is the sickest. Along with the Morgellons, he's developed signs of Lou Gehrig's disease. It's a neurological disorder that robbed him of his muscle control. He's now bound to a wheelchair and has trouble speaking. Tom doesn't know if his two conditions are related.

 

That has him worried about his children.

"I don't want to believe that what happened to me, happened to them."

But answers are hard to come by. In fact, doctors tell them the "bugs" they feel and sores they see, are only in their minds.

 

In medical terms, they are delusional parasitosis.

"I don't know how a doctor couldn't see that, it's ridiculous, I can see it, I know there's something there, I'm like a freshman in high school and I know that there's something wrong."

Doctor Hardesh Garg is an internal medicine specialist in Jacksonville.

 

He isn't surprised by the reaction the dills have been getting from doctors.

"A lot of times, not all of us, who feel like, if it doesn't exist in my medical book, it really doesn't exist and it must be a figment of your imagination," says Garg.

Doctor Garg has never seen a patient with Morgellons. However, he says this skin condition needs to be studied.

"Until we know what's causing it, can't say if it's infectious or not or how dangerous it is."

No doctors on the First Coast or Florida could be found who know anything about Morgellons. However, not all hope is lost. One medical professional in Austin, Texas may have found a clue to the Morgellon's mystery. Ginger Savely is a nurse practitioner who specializes in treating the tick borne Lyme disease.

 

She also has first hand experience with the mystery disease.

"Right now I think I have about twenty eight Morgellons patients," says Savely.

According to Savely, the anti-biotics she gives to patients with Lyme are also working on some Morgellon's patients.

 

But this treatment is also unproven, and since doctors don't know if it's contagious, the Dills say their home is now their prison. So, the Dills spend a lot of quality time together. Five year old Hanna has been one of the Dill's secrets to survival, as her love for singing songs keeps the family entertained.

Recently researchers have been uncovered who have just published a study on an unknown skin disease with the exact same symptoms. It is promising research that points to a critter that could be lurking in your home, and research the Dills may feel that every family should look into.

Since the CBS47 investigation began digging into the Morgellons mystery, dozens of people on the First Coast have been in contact, desperately looking for help. One of these people is a nurse who lives in Saint John's Country. Her story is a striking example of how most patients with this bizarre skin disease are shut out by their doctors.

At the end of another exhausting day for Jane Waldoch,

"I go to bed at 8:30 , 9 o'clock. I feel like a little old lady and I'm 51 years old."

Jane's fatigue is one of the many symptoms she has of the mystery skin disease, some call Morgellon's. As a nurse for 24 years, her first reaction was to see a doctor.

 

However, that is where her trouble began.

"I'm absolutely disappointed, disillusioned and very, very angry at the medical community," says Waldoch.

In the past year, she's been referred to all kinds of doctors.

"Internal medicine, multiple dermatologists, infectious disease, then it went to Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Neurology..." she says.

The doctors saw the sores, but couldn't figure out what was causing them.

"They'd look at me and say, 'Its dry skin, quit worrying about it.' I'm saying, 'This is the weirdest dry skin I've ever seen in my life!'"

Still, she followed doctors' orders, and took her medications; all two dozen bottles of them. But none of these drugs worked. So Jane began collecting samples of what was coming out of her skin. She thought it would help her doctors diagnose this bizarre and painful skin condition.

She was wrong.

Doctors took it as a sign that Jane was delusional.

"One of the hallmark clues to delusional parasitosis is what they call the matchbox sign. I guess in the older days people would take their samples in little match boxes to their physician," she says.

Mary Leitao from the Morgellons foundation says patients would do this to prove they were telling the truth. Jane says she finds fibers that look like crunched up bugs in her sheets every morning.

 

They come from the dozens of sores that cover her arms, legs, back and neck.

"I never thought I'd be in this position, of being embarrassed with who I am, and what I look like."

However, Jane is coming forward, hoping her story will help find a cure, especially for the youngest victims.

Jane is not the only case of the mystery disease found on the first coast. More than 100 people have confirmed they have been suffering from the exact same symptoms, some for as long two decades. Many of them have been diagnosed with delusions of parasitosis.

One research foundation estimates that there are more than 13-hundred people across the country with Morgellons symptoms. The true number may be a lot higher. Mary Leitao is a biologist and the executive director of the Morgellons Foundation. The foundation is studying this mysterious skin disease.

They call it Morgellons -- because it looks and sounds exactly like an infection doctors wrote about in the 1600's. However, 400 years later, these stories don't add up to a diagnosis. However, researchers may be getting the help they need to find a major breakthrough.

Deborah Altschuler is the president of the National Pediculosis Association in Boston, Massachusetts. The foundation was created to increase awareness about head lice and protect children from pesticides.

 

Altschuler has been studying a disease that sounds exactly like Morgellons disease.

"People were calling us with very similar symptoms from all over the country," says Altschuler.

The NPA teamed up with the Oklahoma State Department of Health to study the creepy crawlers.

 

They took skin samples from 20 patients who claim they have the bugs, but were diagnosed by their doctors as delusional. Researchers found collembolan, a microscopic critter, in 18 of the 20 patients.

Collembola feed on algae, bacteria and decaying matter.

 

They thrive in wet or damp surroundings, and can be found under leaky kitchen or bathroom sinks, swimming pools, and the soil of potted plants. The report was published in the journal of the New York Entomological Association. However, it wasn't enough evidence to get the centers for disease control to take action.

The CDC told Altschuler that the collembola was not a danger to humans, even though she says the CDC has shown her no specific study to prove it. The Morgellons Foundation says it was also shot down by the CDC.

If the research on the collembola is right, researchers still have to figure out how serious these critters are to your health, and they have to find out how to kill them.
