MY MORGELLONS DISEASE HISTORY

I am a highly functioning and healthy 70 year old female.

When afflicted I was living in Red Bank, NJ, a shore town.

In Sept. of 2011 I was besieged with unexpected crawling, burning and stinging sensations all over my body. I felt as though insect dive-bombers were attacking me.

These sensations were felt all over my body. They were more concentrated on my upper chest arms, back, neck, face, in my eyes, nostrils, in my hair and around my mouth. Also present was the sensation of spider web like filaments on my face, exiting my nose and around my eyes and mouth and face.

As these eruptions were forming inflamed sores, there was the sensation of fiber- glass splinters emerging from them.

It was maddening, painful and elusive.

It appeared to intensify about 3 or 4 in the afternoon every day.

The reflex to reach for what was causing me this distress produced the retrieval of foreign particles.

Upon close inspection, I discovered a variety of particles i.e.:

a.     Black and white sand like granules.

b.     White soft pulpy material. They had the appearance of larvae.

c.     White semi soft particles.

2. EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

Determined to find the source of my problem and discomfort which I initially thought to be an infestation of some type of air borne parasite i.e. lice or black mold borne organism, I attempted to eradicate them in my home over the next few months.

Nothing had been visible to me.

I utilized the following methods:

a.  Bug Fogger placed in each room on 4 different occasions two weeks apart.

b.  Spraying Insect repellant on and around all the upholstered furniture and beds.

c.  Steaming all the upholstered furniture and mattresses.

d.  Covered the mattresses with plastic sheets.

e.  Continued vacuuming.

f.  Camphor balls placed everywhere.

g.  Finally discarded my upholstered furniture.

h.  Menthol crystals in diffusers placed in several rooms. (dehydrates insects)

The Problem Persisted…

3. IDENTIFICATION PROCESS

I couldn’t believe this was happening to me.

I had developed sores all over my upper back & upper chest and neck and some on my face.  I am not prone to picking and tearing at myself so the sores did not manifest into wounds.  As some healed, others would appear. I treated them with triple antibiotic.

Over the course of months I visited my primary physician, an internist and a dermatologist.

 I started collecting samples of the particles I found on my skin & carefully placed them on square patches of clear packaging tape to preserve them. I rolled them inward to protect my samples and kept them in plastic containers.

I delivered many of these samples over a period of time in the early months of my suffering to the following:

a.   County Mosquito Control Lab (on four separate occasions): Each time they claimed that they didn’t find anything in spite of the fact that I supplied them with substantial pulpy and granulated matter with each visit and several samples each time.

b.   Rutgers University Agricultural Laboratory. They claimed they saw nothing.

c.     My primary physician who saw nothing.  She appeared very sympathetic and compassionate.  She did not dismiss my complaints with disbelief.

d.     My Dermatologist put me on a regimen of Doxycyline for one month. She took a punch biopsy of one of the recent lesions and had me tested for parasites.  All the tests proved negative.

Note: As a prior pre med major in possession of a hand microscope, it was fairly clear to me that what I was witnessing was something out of a Sci Fi movie and yet no one was able to identify this organism and/or it’s bi-products, end-products or residue. Perhaps the particles emerging from our skin tissue are waste products of

the parasites and not identifiable.

4. RESEARCH

The Internet provided me with endless information. It helped me to identify my problem.

There is no doubt that I have Collembola or as it is most commonly called Morgellons Disease.   

In desperation I turned to a family member for help.  He is a holistic and natural healing expert. 

I was also communicating on the Internet with an independent researcher who was also afflicted.

Both have given me advice to keep this disease in check. It doesn’t remove the daily discomfort and sores.  It just modifies it. 

 Until now I had been on a course of trial and error.  I had pursued many avenues

 of treatment on my own to eliminate what I had mistakenly thought to be an

 external parasite.

 Battling an internal, unrecognized & unidentified parasite by the medical

 community is proving to be the most challenging nightmare in my lifetime.

 5. PROBLEM SOLVING TO DATE

 INITIALLY:

a. Shower with RX anti parasite shampoo in my hair and all over my body

b. Grape seed and/or almond oil all over my body after a shower.

c. As a vegetarian, I continued on this course and am now on an Alkali Forming Diet.

d. Tea tree oil diluted in the various oils I used to cover my entire body.

e.  Ichthammol ointment coated inside my nose. (childhood family treatment)

SOME MINOR RELIEF EXPERIENCED…

PRESENTLY:

a.     Toxic cleanse in the AM. Half hour later b and c.

b.      Quantum parasite and worm formula in AM. (20 drops) 3x/day with meals.

c.      Nutra silver  (25 drops) 3x/day with meals (both b & c taken in distilled H2O) increase over time as directed.

d.      Tea tree oil diluted in Grape seed oil to cover my upper body and face.

e.      Alkali forming diet.

f.       Every day I bathe in an Epsom salt (4 cups) and Hydrogen Peroxide (1 quart) bath.  It has a ‘drawing effect’ on the skin and removes toxins.

g.     When I do not bathe, I shower with T Gel to wash my hair and body.

h.     I discovered an anti fungal solution that I used to use for athletes feet. I am using this to coat the interior of my nose and dab it on my sores.

       It appears to have some positive effects and quiets the organisms activity.

6. RESULTS

The stinging and crawling sensations are at a low but not gone.

Some days are worse than others.

The episodes of these sensations happen mostly in the afternoon and can continue through and into the evening.

I have discovered that whatever sensations I am feeling in a particular spot yields a residue of a granular, sand like particles, mostly white or translucent in color.  The larger the particle the more painful the exit and sores and inflammations erupt from the pre exits and post exits of these particles.

Most of the particles continue to appear on my upper chest, upper back, neck & face, particularly in my nose and in my eyes. I am troubled by a sand sensation in my eyes and experience stinging and burning in my nose.

I also feel the sensations of movement in my nose, eyes and around my mouth.

There isn’t much activity in my hair of late or as many white flakes observed.  I am

loosing hair but do not know whether to associate this with Morgellons or aging.  The problem had been worse during the onset of Morgellons however and is now more manageable.

 7.  SPECULATED SOURCE OF ORIGINAL CONTAMINATION

   a. I am a vegetarian.  (In my food?)

   b. Petting and scratching a Parrot (pet store) in Sept just prior to being afflicted(?)  I remember scratching an itch just inside my nose when I walked out of the pet shop and thinking, “what could be on my fingers.” I am very conscientious about cleanliness and sanitizing my hands.

    c. Black mold was prolific in my apartment and in my downstairs neighbors apartment several months prior to being afflicted with Morgellons. The landlord took months before any attempt to clean it up.

    d. Eating in restaurants.

    e. I found mouse droppings in one of my kitchen closets prior to being afflicted. 

I AM DETERMINED TO PERMANENTLY RID MYSELF OF THESE PARASITES IN MY

     BODY.

     I am now on a protocol of Doxycycline and continue with a fungicide wash inside my nose and on my face.

     I bathe in 4 cups of epsom salts with one quart of peroxide (drawing effect to remove toxins) every day.

     I take my toxic cleanse drink in the morning, take the nutra silver, the parasite formula three times a day in distilled water and I am feeling amazingly better than I have in a long time.

     THERE IS HOPE FOR A SOLUTION...

     IF ALL THE DOCTORS & THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY UNITE AND GIVE CREDANCE TO THE EXISTANCE OF MORGELLONS, CONSTRUCTIVE RESEARCH WILL BE  CONDUCTED & A TREATMENT FOUND TO RID US OF THIS MONSTER.

      I HAVE TO BELIEVE THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED.

Good Luck and God Bless...
