“The doctors are very dismissive. One doctor sent the fibres off to a lab, but all she said was that nothing abnormal had been detected.” Among Morgellons sufferers, this is a common experience.
Most experts believe the condition is a psychological disorder called delusional parasitosis.

Note: I am updating this post as I learn more about Morgellons. Like many people, I had heard about it, but it just seemed too bizarre and inconclusive such that I didn’t want to get sidetracked by it. Well, here I am getting into it now. I still haven’t drawn any conclusions about it, but I will continue to share what I can here. Those who already know, or think they know, everything about it, humor me while I get up to speed on it.
. . .
“Experts” write it off as a psychological disorder. Reminds me of the way vets with Agent Orange poisoning and Gulf War Syndrome have been treated as “delusional” too. That is the way the medical mafia treats anyone who exhibits symptoms that damn the Military/Industrial Complex’s radical disregard for human health and safety, human rights and the environment. Doctors also routinely pooh pooh deleterious drug side-effects that are literally killing hundreds of thousands of people in the US, conservatively speaking. So, as they say on the boob-tube, “Ask your doctor. He knows what’s best for you”.
Yes, in some cases, obsessive scratching can be caused by psychosis, be drug-induced with meth or crack, or by otherwise toxic abuse of one’s own body, but this is showing up in people without such behaviors or dispositions who are otherwise normal. And the wounds produce fibers or what appear to be mobile parasites in the shape of colored threads. These are not imaginary, but I believe if screaming alien babies came blasting out of a person’s skin and did a tap dance on the examining room floor, the typical doctor would still write it off as “paranoid delusion”. Such is their state of arrogant denial.
If the AMA says it doesn’t exist, then it doesn’t exist. That’s the rule.

I am not sure what this is, but I strongly suspect it has something to do with industrial pollutants (possibly nano-pollutants), runaway genetic experiments or with deliberate contamination of the human population at worst. Most of us know next to nothing about Morgellons, but it is gaining recognition as a real illness that needs treatment.
My first reflex is to recommend immune-boosting herbs and detoxification regimes for the body in the case of most disease conditions, because the body will usually respond favorably to anything that helps it dump overloads of toxins, parasites etc. But the problem is, if you inhale or ingest non-organic fibers or polymers, parasites, genetically engineered substances, etc, the body may not be able to break them down so the immune system will react trying to kick the invader out with very unpleasant symptoms including skin eruptions.
In that case, these types of things are going to have to migrate and work their way through the body until they emerge through the skin where they can be removed. And that’s the good news. The bad news is, well it’s something I don’t want to speculate on at the moment.
I doubt that there would be any effective treatment for Morgellons other than topical creams that would help sooth the itching and burning sensations. A commenter suggested sulphur, both internal and topical, and he claims it is a relatively harmless GM cotton “nematode”. For me, it remains to be seen. Some believe it is a nanotech bioweapon distributed by chemtrails. That is the farthest end of the conspiracy spectrum, but unfortunately, it could be true.
“‘Goldenhead’ A Nano Robotic Sensor” (Rense.com)
If someone (ie the Illuminati-controlled government) out there is deliberately releasing this malady on the human population, you can bet they have both vaccines and remedies for it that they won’t tell you about. Hell, they barely acknowledge that Morgellons even exists, so don’t expect any revelations from the media other than to misdirect us. Instead the establishment sends out their disinfo agents to “debunk” the illness and tell everybody that it’s a mental illness. So no surprise there folks.
Anyway, we all need to look into this further.

Is this a disease or an episode of the X Files?
Morgellons disease: Sufferers complain of cuts which produce tiny red and blue fibres
It feels like insects crawling under your skin, but is this X-Files illness a reality?
By DANIEL ELKAN
The symptoms sound like something from The X Files - sufferers complain of a crawling sensation all over the body, egg-like lumps under the skin and, even more bizarrely, cuts which produce tiny red and blue fibres.
Many doctors, however, are highly sceptical - dismissing the symptoms as imaginary and patients as delusional.
But a growing number of experts believe the symptoms are genuine, and the U.S. government’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating the condition - Morgellons disease - as reported in the New Scientist.
This belated recognition comes as a great relief to the many thousands of sufferers, such as Beverley Warren, who have struggled for years with this debilitating condition.
“It feels like tiny insects crawling or biting under my skin,” says Beverley, 63, from Manchester.
As a result she hardly sleeps at night, constantly woken by the intense itching on her arms.
“I scratch and scratch, but it doesn’t help. I’ve suffered hundreds of nights like this. Sometimes I just lie awake, crying.”
Beverley’s arms are covered with dozens of sores. Some have tiny, white, egg-like lumps on them, just under the skin surface.
More bizarrely, when Beverley scratches her arms, small black specks, which look like tiny grains of pepper, appear from under the surface of the skin.
The problem appeared 11 years ago.
Doctors and dermatologists have been unable to give her a diagnosis, and two skin biopsies have provided no answer.
At the suggestion of a dermatologist, Beverley applies creams to try to soothe the itching and then bandages her arms for two days to protect the area.
Unfortunately, this hasn’t helped.
“The only thing that provides relief is when I put ice on my arms,” she says.
Then in April, Beverley discovered that she was not the only person with the problem.
After typing ‘itching on the arms’ into an internet search engine, she came across a website for Morgellons disease.
“My husband looked at the screen and said: ‘My God, those are all the symptoms you’ve described.’”
Incredibly, more than 10,000 people worldwide had registered on the website claiming they suffered, too.
But in addition to Beverley’s symptoms, many complained of something even stranger: tiny fibres, of various colours, growing out of their skin.
One of them is Rita, who lives in Somerset.
She says: “The fibres are 1mm or 2mm long and are either pinky red, blue, brown, black or transparent. They look like little hairs and most grow out of the lesions on my arms, legs and torso.”
Four years ago, Rita, 47, started being affected by what many sufferers describe as brain fog.
“My thinking became cloudy and forgetful,” she explains. “I jumble up my words and sometimes, if someone is talking to me, I can’t understand what they are saying so I have to ask them to repeat themselves.”
The condition forced Rita to give up her career as a legal secretary.
“The doctors are very dismissive. One doctor sent the fibres off to a lab, but all she said was that nothing abnormal had been detected.” Among Morgellons sufferers, this is a common experience.
The disease was named in 2002 by an American mother, Mary Leitao, whose two-year- old son one day pointed to his lip and said ‘bugs’.
Mary was alarmed to find fibres growing there, but soon became frustrated that no doctor would investigate her son’s condition.
She began researching it for herself, and came across a 17th-century article which described a condition, ‘The Morgellons’, where unusual hairs would grow out of the skin.
In the U.S., where the majority of cases are found, the number of people claiming to have the same symptoms - and the absence of a medical explanation - led to last month’s launch of the government’s CDC investigation, involving a team of specialists in epidemiology, environmental health, dermatology, chronic diseases, infectious diseases, pathology and mental health.
However, most experts believe the condition is a psychological disorder called delusional parasitosis.
Morgellons Disease “Alive with Intelligence”
Sufferers convince themselves the crawling sensations and fibres are evidence of an infection by a parasite.
“The brain tells them something is crawling on or under their skin,” says
Professor Lynn Kimsey, an expert on insects and disease at the University of California.
“The human brain is wired to make connections between events, but we don’t always draw the right conclusions. Only in a small proportion of cases do real parasites - such as mites - cause this type of thing.”
Instead, Prof Kimsey says, the skin sensations are likely to be the result of changes in brain and nerve chemistry, commonly triggered by drug or alcohol abuse or hormonal changes such as the menopause.
The patients constantly scratch their skin - a process called neurotic excoriation - creating sores that never get the chance to heal.
As Professor Noah Scheinfeld, a dermatologist at Columbia University in the U.S., explains: “The skin becomes a sink for nervous energy and the slightest sensation can lead people to itch.”
Even the fibres have a simple explanation: “They inevitably turn out to be lint from clothes, household fibres or hair,” Kimsey says.
“Sores and scabs attract and trap these fibres.”
The sceptics say Morgellons is best treated with dermatological creams for the sores - and possibly anti-psychotic drugs in severe cases.
But a handful of experts have found evidence that seems to contradict conventional explanations.
Randy Wymore, assistant professor of pharmacology at Oklahoma State University, stumbled across the Morgellons website and, surprised by the number of people claiming to be affected, offered to test some of the fibres at his lab.
“I thought it would be easy to determine their origin,” he says.
But contrary to his expectations, the fibres did not match any common environmental ones.
So Wymore invited some Morgellons patients in to be examined by a colleague, Rhonda Casey.
She found that even under unbroken skin there were masses of fibres. After extensive tests, scientists including a police forensics team drew a blank as to their origin, despite comparing them to more than 90,000 organic compounds.
Meanwhile, at the State University of New York, Vitaly Citovsky, professor of biochemistry and cell biology, found that the lesions of Morgellons patients test positively for the presence of agrobacterium, a bacterium used in the commercial production of genetically modified food - but not normally found in skin sores.
Psychiatrist Robert Bransfield has studied a database of 3,000 Morgellons patients and argues that the psychological profile of Morgellons patients does not fit with a diagnosis of delusional parasitosis.
“Before the onset of their illness, their mental status appears to be quite representative of the general population,” says Bransfield.
“Later on they may become paranoid and delusional; but they don’t start out that way.”
Immunopsychology experts such as Bransfield are discovering that the body’s own immune reaction to invasion by a parasite can significantly affect levels of brain chemicals, such as serotonin.
In other illnesses, such as hepatitis C, this can result in altered psychological states and mental symptoms.
Morgellons could work this way, too, Bransfield suggests.
Some test results have led researchers to speculate that Morgellons may be caused by an unusual fungal parasite.
For Beverley, the new investigation cannot come soon enough.
“I’m not delusional,” she says. “I just want to find out what is happening to my body.”

All I see on your site is the typical fuzzball/mental illness paradigm and no attempt to admit to a possible physical illness. Typical professional debunker. Why do you do it? Out of the goodness of your little heart? I’ll bet you’re a Fed or involved with Feds in some way. Ain’t that right?
I have seen enough to know this ain’t about lint and delusions. This is something bizarre that moves like it is a parasitic worm. At first, I thought maybe these were inorganic fibers migrating through the body, but fibers don’t have locomotion. Worms and possibly nanotubes, do. The more I learn, the more I will share here.
pjwalker911 // September 23, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Yeah, if it looks like a Fed, writes like a Fed and smells like a Fed, then it probably is a Fed. Either that or it’s someone who is socio-pathic with a vendetta. Or both. Yeah, probably both.
Smileykins // September 24, 2007 at 3:07 am
I’m sorry. Does being so fearful, close-minded, and prejudiced feel as pleasurable to you as you make it seem? Please excuse me, if it’s something you actually don’t have any control over. For me, it would be absolutely torturous to feel like that. PJ, I don’t work. I’d had a two month bout with psychosis from a heat induced illness, including passing kidney stones, one time. Having gone through that, I know firsthand, like a lot of “morgellons disease” patients, what a hellish experience delusional parasitosis is. Please relax, I’m not employed by the government, or anybody.
pjwalker911 // September 24, 2007 at 4:06 am
Tens of thousands report Morgellons symptoms around the world, including these mobile “fibers” which are documented in hundreds of photos and videos of tissue samples, but you are the delusional parasitosis poster child, and out of the goodness of your heart, you as a “former psychotic” go around debunking Morgellons to save us from our delusions.
Sure makes loads of sense to me. Uhmhmmm…

if one investigates morgellons, one finds the horrific truth, it is a nanomonster from a lab, and it did not get out there by accident. it’s a bioweapon. operation depopulation i suppose. there is a massive coverup, but i see lately it’s beginning to fray around the edges. this thing is huge.
GHamilton // September 24, 2007 at 8:34 pm
Morgellons is caused by a genetically modified nematode which was originally developed to increase the production of cotton fibers in the cotton plant.
It can be treated very effectively with topical sulphur and ingestion of sulphur drugs. It is not a mental disease.
The cotton most infected is now coming from South America.
pjwalker911 // September 24, 2007 at 8:46 pm
GHamilton, not questioning your integrity, but could you give us some of your documentation on this genetically modified nematode and the efficacy of sulphur as a treatment? If it is simple as that, then I wonder why there is so much confusion, debunking and disinfo about Morgellons.

Smileykins is FAR from ‘open-minded’.
I’ve followed what he and his cohort have to say about this disease for well over a year and if they are NOT employed to professionally debunk, then the powers that be have sure missed out on employing these guys! I’ll give them their dues, they are GOOD at debunking. That includes ignoring and removing from their website information that contradicts them though.
By the way smileykins - having an open mind means being IMPARTIAL, something you are FAR from.
People in Britain are now coming down with this “imaginary” disease. But not to worry, ‘cos according to morgellonswatch.com, they’re just making it up…
Another thing about that far from impartial website - if you should go as far as to give the hosts any proof of the reality of morgellons, they just delete it from public view. Are these the actions of someone interested in the TRUTH, whatever it may be? I think not.
pjwalker911 // September 25, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Absolutely. They have no counter to all the evidence, except denial. I have a nose for professional debunkers as I have dealt with so many of them. It’s like a sixth sense. No matter what the post is, I can feel it in my gut, a sick queasy feeling.
They are always haughty and single-minded and never admit any possibility other than their propaganda.

Hairy Coldsore // September 25, 2007 at 11:17 pm
My poo hole emitts a foul smelling odour sometimes; could this be Morgellons?
pjwalker911 // September 26, 2007 at 1:17 am
No, I don’t think so Hairy, but you’re getting warm. You see the problem is that somehow your head got stuck up there, so now you need to pull it out. Simply reach down and grasp your shoulders firmly and pull. This should dislodge your head from your rectum. If it doesn’t budge, just take a deep breath and pull harder and keep trying until it pops out.
But since your head has been stuck up there for so long, the real problem is that now your brain is full of crap, so for that, I recommend getting a very high enema.
This should clear it up for you. Let me know how everything comes out.

Ice Helps. Have cold showers, avoid heat. Go for a swim in the ocean. Start wearing only cotton and use only cotton bed sheets. Drink plenty of water and avoid anything synthetic as if it were the plague, especially perfumed soaps. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Follow this advice and the crawling and itching will disappear. Trust me.

Dear PJ, I don’t see why you think the above is the work of a debunker. To me, the author does a wonderful job of exposing just how far the debunkers will go and what means they will employ to deny a palpably, visibly, demonstrably real condition. To me as a person with electrosensitivity, a far less visibly demonstrable condition, the success of these monsters (I don’t think “people” is an appropriate term for these so-called “debunkers”) in this case is very discouraging. People have been driven to suicide by the misery and lack of understanding of others around them. One important point made above is that people with Morgellons do not start out paranoid. I think a normal person would understand why the sufferers were being driven crazy if they knew the torment they had to suffer. Please keep up your spirits in any way you can. There is growing recognition among the public of something going terribly wrong despite the blackout on truthful reporting.

I had same symtoms without the hairs but constant itching especially at night, tried all kinds of drugs, beta blockers, creams, camomile lotion, finally used Derbac for scabies and it went. I threw out all my clothes and bedding, apart from a small holiday bag which I had forgot, some time later I used a pair of socks from this bag and symtoms came back, used Derbac and it dissappeared.

I don’t think nano-fibers that move on their own power can be equated with scabies. But that’s just me.

Please, does anyone know if there will be a way to stop this if it does turn out to be a GMO or a nano?

I have suffered from this since October 2007. We are talking a life changing event. I have pretty much lost everything including my sanity. I suggest for your sake you wake up to what is happening before you or someone you care about comes down with this awful, awful, awful skin disease. Stop the denial and let’s work on a cure!!

Touche PJ! Your witty response (9/27/07) to the Hairy ass had me lol.
Kudos!
I’ve once or twice wondered about Smileykins and thought ‘how pathetic this poor ol’ soul — no better way to occupy precious time, and so like a school-yard bully, resorts to the incessant chasing of those perceived as weaker, taunting them ’round and ’round the yard — clammoring for attention deprived. Or perhaps it’s morbid curiosity borne from a lack of stimulation (intellectual or otherwise) to help fill a dull life? How sad, what a loser. In any case, it is clear this person should consider a more fulfilling past-time. There are many wonderful spriritual/pyschological/inspirational self-help books out there. Why not get up, get out, and get over to the book store — enjoy a good cup of coffee and a nice read? A little fresh air may help to re-focus energy toward ways of improving upon the short-comings of the personal life-situations, rather than projecting misery on others.
Our misery does not love your company, Smileykins. Please, go work on getting a life and leave us to comfort each other in peace.
May divine guidance interceed on your behalf and offer you some grace.

If this was a psychotic phenomenon don’t you think there would be less cases with more diverse symptoms. But if any other cover-up were to be deployed for any other illness it would succeed in most cases. If the government tried to tell us that the Flu was just a psychotic illness then doctors will HAVE to tell the patients that lie. What people need to do is work their way around the “doctors” and find help from more humanly people. If doctors ARE trying to cover this up, there has to be some other crazy demented operation going on out there, like a depopulation test, or even worse human trials for a genetic war weapon. The psychological symptoms suggest a manipulation technique to render an enemy hopeless, and give up their campaign. On the flip side of that theory the article above pointed out a 17th century article on a similar disease, so maybe it’s a natural bioform. Aside these speculations, more on-hand examination, and testing has to be done with this peculiar occurrence. For comments please mail me at my myspace page listed above.

The picture of the hand and the open sores: It most definately looks like a man’s hand, but with lady’s sculptured nails. Most likely it’s some meth-up drag queen. The itching and scratching and open sores and paranoia are all symptoms of meth use.
