3 years into this and trial and error with different products has resulted in several things. Any type of fruit, pineapple, citrus, pears, can be mixed with olive oil, virgin coconut oil, grapeseed oil, ( which can be found at Kroger, Harris Teeter) as well as sea salt, garlic and parsley, cilantro can be found in the produce section in squeeze tubes, as well as cornmeal and peanut butter to make a mask to apply to lesions. Sallys beauty supply has a pineapple enzyme exfolliating cleaner as well as a dead sea mask which are excellent. Experiment! Dr. Brommers peppermint is a life saver, I put it on my bounce sheets for drying clothes. Borax, Windex is a good cleaner for counters. Diatomaceous Earth also, but its tough on vacuum cleaners. I also put Borax, Dr. Bronners, Baking soda, vinegar, salt, as well as E. Oils in bath water.

I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles with Morgellons. I, too, took the ivermectin. And a million other things before I found what worked for me. I was acutely ill for about six months. What worked: hydrogen peroxide and borax solution (mix equal amount in bowl with water) rubbed over entire body several times per day. Cedarcide worked for the environment. Tri-jet fogger. Thieves oil diffused and taken internally. If you have any pets, interceptor is VERY helpful. We had to go to Puerto Rico to get it over the counter. It is by far the worst hell I could imagine. But I am now recovered. Sending you waves of wellness.
Dietary Changes

Hello,
I have had this for almost 2 years now, but I have to say that since I started an alkaline diet like changing cow milk with almond milk, lowering my sugar intake and taking 2 spoons of wheat grass powder at night before going to bed, I almost forgot about the crawling stinging, and itching sensation.
I take 1 spirulina pill with a multivitamin in the morning and 1 maca pill just to start my day and feel full of energy. Maca is great against Morguellons because not only is good for the inmune system and energy also it gets rid of the pain I used to feel, the stinging sensation. I take maca 1 or twice a day. Also I lowered my sugar intake, but sometimes I get a few cookies or chocolate during the day with no effects of any kind.
I don't take colloidal silver, MSO, garlic pills, alfalfa or any other stuff I used to take before when I was desperate looking for something that could give me my normal life back. I don't see those horrible black dots or hair anymore. Sometimes I even forget that I have this disease and feel that thank God I am living a normal life now.

I prayed for a long time to be healed, and was given an overwhelming feeling of peace that God was with me. I kept my faith, and about two weeks ago, I read something online like I was reading if for the first time. God bless the man who wrote a long article on Morgellons and Candida.
I never had a clue about any of this. I have taken antibiotics when I had a lot of dental work done, but didn't think I ever had a yeast infection, being good about taking my probiotics. But I was wrong. Every symptom this man listed as a symptom of Candida was what I was experiencing with Morgellons, down to the crawling, granules, and black specks. I couldn't believe it.
I continued what I was already doing, including antifungal meds, acai, garlic, aloe vera juice inside and out, and of course my acidophilus.
I went on the candida diet, which I looked at as a strict Atkins diet, and the first five days my poop was white. That was the proof I needed. I couldn't believe I had all of this awful stuff built up inside my body, no wonder I felt so bad. And keep in mind, the little bast----s feed off of this stuff! The diet starves them out, but you still need to keep up your current treatments.
I am two weeks in now, and I am feeling great. A little crawling here and there, but getting weaker and weaker, skin is looking great, I am feeling human again! I think that fairly soon, I will have seen the last of Captain Trips for good.
I don't know how I got this and I am not here to try and shoot down anyone's theories. All I know is that somehow, we all ended up with it, and this is how I'm getting rid of it. For any of you who are clinging to your theories and don't believe the answer could be so simple, please just give it a try. I am not selling anything here, like a lot of other people are. There is even a doctor in Scottsdale, Az that is removing people's hip replacements, telling them it's the metal making them sick! We are all desperate, and predators know that, which is why I am writing this. It is simple and cheap to take care of, some otc supplements and meds, along with diet. Remember our father of modern medicine said "let their food be their medicine".
I take mucinex morning and night, acai, acidophilus, and garlic during the day. After drying off form a nice hot shower, I use a spray bottle to spritz aloe vera juice all over my body (anti-fungal and antimicrobial) and I sip it mixed with water throughout the day.
I have also discovered my environment in not contaminated, all I felt was from within myself. I am finally back to leading a normal life.
I pray for all of you the results I have had. I don't know why this happened, but my trust is in God to know what is best for me, knowing that everything happens for a reason. He is in control, and that is all I need to know. While we are here together on this earth, we need to love and look out for each other, so I hope this will help you all. It was my Christmas miracle and I hope it is yours, too.
Love and God Bless.

Baylieann, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your post. I, too, suffer from Morgellons, and like you, have had my life turned upside down. I had to shut down a lucrative home business, stop caring for a sick family member for fear of infecting them, and just stop life in general. My entire head had become a Morgellons nest, they had laid eggs in my eyes and tongue, they got in my ears and drove me halfway to insanity with that high pitched noise. I had crazy fibers coming out of every pore on my body, it seemed. Not to mention the horrible sores and creepy crawlies EVERYWHERE. After spending literally thousands of dollars on products that didn't work, I purchased some Willard's Water and started drinking it, on your recommendation. I also started following Earth Clinic Ted's Morgellons protocol by adding 1/8th tsp of Borax in a liter of water a day. And let me tell you, these remedies started working almost immediately. I'm only one month into treatment, but can already tell that I'm "turning the corner" and getting better. Yay!! I just wanted to thank you, and vouch for you on the Willard's Water and let everyone else know that this stuff is VERY effective on Morgellons. I also use it topically, and it heals up those awful sores almost before your very eyes. I've never seen anything like this. I wish I had discovered this product a long time ago. Oh, and also, I read that it helps keep your body alkaline, which is so important when fighting Morgellons. Thank you again. I hope you are healed by now and have regained your life. Lizzy
Apple Cider Vinegar

NO NO NO NO Hydrochloric Acid!! It is dangerous and NOT naturally in the body.
" Ingesting concentrated hydrochloric acid can cause pain, difficulty swallowing, nausea, and vomiting. Ingestion of concentrated hydrochloric acid can also cause severe corrosive injury to the mouth, throat esophagus, and stomach, with bleeding, perforation, scarring, or stricture formation as potential sequelae."
HOCL - Hypochlorous Acid IS naturally occurring in the body and may well be useful in combatting MD. It is an all purpose bacteria killer, sanitizer, and is regularly used in wound care and disinfection. THIS product COULD BE safely used. In addition, it can be used in a fogger in the home, in nasal rinses, and consumed a 1/2 teaspoon or so in water at a time. It makes sense that it would help.

Yes the black specks and other gunk come out after bathing and applying coconut oil. I've literally had to get right back in the tub to rinse them off then pat skin dry. I always pull my hair up and when I wash it I pull it forward so it never touches my back!! I have noted after bathing a wad of hair that ends up in tub will actually be coated with a thick gelatinous substance. It looks like a worm. So be cautious with hair. I stopped using very thick moisturisers like Shea butter(pure form) because when I got dressed I itched terribly on my legs where I used it and took clothing off to find fuzz balls everywhere I itched! These stick to these products and sting you. I read a post where someone used a microscope and saw these were alive and were spinning threads from clothing worn then actually went into the skin. When I read this I recalled this started when I began using products that were very greasy on my skin. I even got one on a frown line on my forehead and that is where I had used the Shea butter. This was my experience and it could affect others as well.

It's like I'm reading my own story & trials of years of natural treatments some Hilda Clark some rife frequencies- with amazing results of actually seeing sm white like grains of salt everywhere in my house ( during ride frequencies treatments)
unfortunately, I had seen this on my cat in 2007 ( she got schizophrenic in and sadly I put her out of her misery in 2014 )
BC I was too sick to care for her and myself- I became unable to eat or drink anything & even kissing my hubby of 34 yrs w/o having anaphylactic episodes, massive skin eruption issues, Lund were shot, was on antibiotics, antidepressants, 3 inhalers ( that caused yeast everywhere including in my blood)
2014 I found a natural path Dr who led me to an acupuncture Dr who helped get me on the right track of no inhaler, replaced with glutathione spray - in 2018 lung Dr said my lungs went from scared and failure- to amazing & clear healthy
mom able to eat gluten, dairy free, organic foods
I learned I was born with an MTHFR mutation
I've had mono since age 10 & 13 & so many allergies hives illnesses along the way I'm soon to be 64 it's been a hell of a ride thus far
I've seen my grandma, mom & mom in-law younger brother suffer from the same symptoms ( all died at the hands of following their Drs prescription drugs & other treatments)
I woke up in 2014/15 was my worst years 2017. I started rife frequencies on the Morgellons those white salts came out, I knew I & my sweet kitty had this same disease & I had to set myself free from it!
unfortunately, it's not been an easy road.
I am so thankful for the support groups & it's such a sad truth that so many of us suffer with this Lyme Morgellons & all else that goes with it:(

Alcohol and Peroxide, Homeopathy
Posted by Nan (Minneapolis, MN) on 11/13/2008
Also wanted to mention that a much cheaper way of fighting these things...
I put have a vile of alcohol and half Hydrogen Peroxide and put all over active area...shere crawling occurring - for me a lot of it starts in the feet and legs so I smear it all over there...seems to keep them from crawling at night - it's a lot cheaper than TTO and seems to work as well or better. The TTO price has shot up recently...must be a lot of people with this stuff, it's driving the price thru the roof.
Also, found two homeopathics that in combination at least for me stop them from crawling - got 9 hours sleep last night from using them and the alcohol... Arsenicum Album - 30c or x and also Nux Vomica - 30c or x... seem to work so far... I've gotten a lot of relief over time using the homeos...I'm convinced therein will lie our cure - it vibrates throughout the entire body and will kill them when we find the right one...also, if people get samples of these critters you can get a remedy made out of the worms themselves and that would kill them right off!
Happy bug killing!

Just a warning.... I saw a video the other day that warned against using Hydrogen Peroxide for Morgellons.... It showed that the parasite actually responded to Hyd Per by growing in size immediately... I wondered why these worms grew so fast in me... When they are confronted w/certain elements they respond to them by increasing in size... I've stopped using the peroxide and they seem to have diminished in size and they seem weaker.... I've also added essential oils to my TTO solution... peppermint/lavendar/lemon/camphor/cinnamon/clove and others - they hate it and stops their movement esp while you sleep (remember to wrap in glad wrap though so it stays on your skin throughout the night.... Just something to think about

Recently I've mainly used TTO but put peppermint essential oil and lavendar on the skin directly more every day and then top off w/the TTO.... I've also been taking Echinacea & Goldenseal tabs... Great herbal antibiotics... Lavendar and peppermint are known to kill worms... Usually internally... One can take a drop of peppermint with a little water internally too but I'm mostly putting on skin.... I've noticed great improvement with these oils... They are defininately killing off... The smaller parasites first and the larger ones are weakenening... Very happy w/results - the best I've experienced since I met these monsters 4 yrs ago... I'm hopeful this might finish them off... I also take Nat Phos (suppose to work on long worms) and Silica is also good for worms.... I've found a good homeopathic parasite killer tooo from Newton Homeopathics... I think the essential oils are doing most of the work though.... Happy hunting! Try this I think you will get great relief... Particularly if you are new to this disease. I've also cleaned off my face excellently w/ homeopathic waters of graphites and psorinum.... From 30C to 10M... And LM it can be mixed in water and pounded (look online for directions) You can get these remedies at Present Moments online... Psorinum requires homeo RX however. Best of Luck to all of you suffering from.... Do not despair... We will conquer this in spite of the medical industry!

Another new development.... I took only one dose of homeopathic Thuja Occi 30x and the next time I put petroleum jelly on face to clear out... Suddenly found lots of green stuff coming out coloring the jelly green... Thuja is known to kill fungus... So obviously there is fungus in there too and it handily killed it... So take Thuja we probably have a fungal component throughout the body too... Have also read that Cina 200 (homeopathic) will kill filarial worms and to me this parasite has a lot of symptoms similar to filarial worms... Also read that homeopathic Hydrocotyle is for elephantiasis which is from filarial

Richard, what did you do to get your life back to normal? I believe I also have collembola and strongaloids. My husband pointed out to me that he isn't being bitten. He said maybe its because of the lotion he's been using. G--- B--- foot cream helped his calluses but then he tried it on his long-standing psoriasis. That totally cleared up. He uses it every morning on his feet, legs and arms. I sometimes rub it on his back. So I tried the cream on my arm and suddenly a bunch of whitestuff came out. Now I shower, air dry off, apply the cream head to toe, wait a few minutes then start rubbing that stuff out of my skin. I do this in the shower after sprinkling borax on the floor just in case something alive pops out. But I don't know what's going on. What all is coming out? It just looks like clumps of the white cream but harder. When I'm tired from rubbing it I rinse off with warm water. Can someone explain to me what may be coming out and if you think this is helpful?

My nutritionist/chiropractor did muscle testing on me. I touched the worst Morgellon sore on my ankle and I tested positive for Olive Leaf extract (6 daily) and for Pantothenic Acid (also 6 daily). These are a very good remedy, not expensive and did the job in 3 days. I also put vitamin E directly on the sores. Such a relief!

Hi Everyone,
I have been fighting this for a year. I sold my house and could not keep one thing out of it. Basically, there was a toxic spill in the garage and apparently it activated the defense mechanisms in the white kind of springtails to do two things, grow their colony to incredibly mass proportions while they attempted to break down the toxic waste and grow their size individually, which has shrunk with each subsequent generation. Or else I am just getting them before they grow up.
During their cleaning of my home and the substructure of the home, they decided I needed cleaning as well. I had candida overgrowth, which they decided would make a wonderful culture for their garden.
Cayenne is one of my favorite things that help stop the itching and make them run. I am able to eat really hot food now. I once read about a man getting rid of them completely with cayenne. I don't itch anymore. I only have very small ones, the babies. I no longer use peroxide as it makes them bigger. I no longer use rubbing alcohol as it makes them bigger. Pretty much any chemical makes them bigger and more aggressive. Chlorine in swimming pools also makes them bigger.
The Q2 Energy Spa seems to draw them out of my feet and lower legs and deplete their presence. The water turns orange. It is getting lighter orange as I go forward which means less candida and less things they like in me. I also like to take Detoxamin. It is a suppository that takes metals out of your body. They need metals to form their shells, so it is important for them to have a metal filled host. I read once about a gardening soil that was rich in cadmium, so it attracted and grew 10 times the normal amount of this common gardening bug.
Peppermint Oil kills their eggs so they tend to run from it. If you have a cough from them in your lungs, then you can put some on the roof of your mouth and stop your coughing for a while.
Other essential oils tend to put them on the defensive and make them grow. Ethanol makes them burn crazy holes into your skin trying to get away from it.
But Silver Generators are amazing. Between Cayenne and Silver and Vitamin C with Rosehips from GNC and some wonderful dehumidifiers, I am finally winning.
When I first drank silver water with vitamin C, I could feel them coming out everywhere. Of course my bed was nuts in the morning. Then taking a silver bath really helps get them out of your eyes. I have gone through four cars until I realized that four things needed to be done to beat them. Clear spray paint for the carpets in cars stops their colonies. Please air out. Saniguard fogger for the air conditioner and heater ports, turn it on while fogging. Every night, dehumidify all night. Windex over dash and everywhere you touch and breathe, including seats. Leather seats are your only hope unless you want to spray paint the seats as well as the carpet.
Another amazing step to winning is WATER... Alkaline water... NEVER IN PLASTIC... Alkaline ARTESIAN WATER breaks down fungus in your body and is great in silver and soups.
Whenever you eat out, eat spicy. If you are not good at spicy at first, blend hot water with honey, lemon and cayenne. The honey will shield the cayenne. If you are eating mexican, eat hottest sauce with side of refried beans, they will heal the burn. After a while, you can tolerate it. Thai, get extra rice and once fatty dish less spicy to calm you.
If you are making a raw smoothie, add a huge amount of ginger, this really makes them run.
I installed a dehumidifyer in the central air of the house with a UV bug killer and an electrostatic filter so nothing is recycled, 100% of mold and dust and bugs, gone!!! Some rooms also need an additional dehumidifier, still this set up requires balance as well because over dehumidifying your room can cause coughing all on its own. So stay comfortable and choose a closet to attack problem items and seal two dehumidifiers in it while shoving microfiber cloths under the door.
Cedarcide never worked for me as a final choice because my home had toxins underneath it. My bugs were so gnarly they learned how to eat it. Ultimately, it damaged my liver and made it harder to balance my candida.
I shaved my head. I used to have waist length blonde hair. I shaved it all off like Sophie's Choice. I tried to like it and then stopped looking in the mirror.
Shaving my head helped a lot because I read about someone using vaseline. I began to use it on high density areas, my head and face. I was barred from ever coming back to a hotel because they had trouble getting it out of their bedding. Vaseline eventually became toxic. I had not discovered silver yet, so it helped me sleep a few nights.
Basis soap is the natural enemy of fungus, it was gentle and so did not grow them. It was the best discovery in a silver bath. I have six silver generators for my family of six. Three of us have had it. Since others can carry, everyone takes the silver.
I take Kelp and Horsetail every morning. Kelp helps remove bug waste ammonia that stops sleep. Kelp and Horsetail ten each morning help rebuild structure in the body they are breaking down. Kelp in evening, ten, helps sleep.
It is possible to win.

I looked at what neem does to morgellons under the microscope, and the moving morgellons threads don't move after the neem is added. They don't even stand up and sort of shrivel a bit. After researching other essential oils, such as mint and eucalyptus, the most effective blend is eucalyptus with neem three drops of each in a 4oz spray bottle. Use topically all over. It smells lemony, maybe there is a connection with also using the lemon essential oil as a great alternative.

Natural affordable pain control, boosting my immune system and control of systemic parasites and fun
I have been fighting a battle with what is known as Morgellons. I think it may be because of an immune deficiency as a result of years of unnatural stress through financial hardship and Arthritis of the spine, neuropathic pain and Fibromyalgia. I have also had a bilateral hip replacement.

Posted by Morgellons is real (Australia ) on 06/25/2022
So true it is caused from an immune deficiency. It's also spread from the air. Morgellons aka gmo fungi is in our environment everywhere world wide now. You can find the fiber aka hyphae fungi looking things that move all over the place. Just look in the dust or in cotton clothing etc. They are gmo and I think they are that gmo cotton crossed with nematodes etc that monsanto made years ago.
So you can't catch it from a person, you can catch infections off ppl but the fibers and spores etc themselves are in our environment everywhere so you can't get away from them. People with normal immune systems can fight them off. I only started getting them in my body and skin etc when I got sick from ebstein bar virus. It destroyed my immune system and that's why they are able to get in my body now. Lyme suppresses the immune so that's why many with Lyme get Morgellons fungi over load too but it's not the only cause.

Morgellons: I have had this for a few months only. I found that ivermectin helped with the initial horrifying outbreak, and now I am on a protocol of various vitamins and supplements, plus bio-active silver. The silver helps a lot...when I feel a bite or pricking sensation in my skin, I rub a little silver water on it, and it goes away. Also seems to help heal my skin. Changing my diet has been hugely helpful--no sugar (no fruit except lemons and limes, no maple syrup on honey), no carbs (no bread, rice, potatoes, etc., only a tiny amount of lentils sometimes), no grains, no dairy, only organic meats, veggies, eggs, almond milk, plus lots of water and herbal teas (green tea.) No coffee or caffeine. I once went off my diet, because I was feeling so good, and had a major relapse...so diet is key. It's hard in the beginning, but you lose your cravings for sugar soon..and it stabilizes your appetite. I can easily go from lunch to dinner without wanting an afternoon snack or caffeine which is a first for me. I've lost 20 pounds effortlessly, too.

So, are you saying that shungite water is good for helping with the horrible terrors of morgellons?

Morgellons and Lyme Disease
Posted by Theestarseed (Bradenton, Fl) on 04/30/2015
A new research article in the scholarly journal, BMC Dermatology, has found the presence of Borrelia spirochetes, the organism responsible for Lyme Disease in 24 of the 25 Morgellons patients included in the study. The study proves that the fibers are not cellulose as previously stated by the less than rigorous study conducted by the CDC and Kaiser. Rather, they are composed of keratin and collagen from an overproduction of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the epithelial cells located in the "deeper layers of the epidermis and root sheath of hair follicles " The fibers demonstrate the same appearance: nucleated at the base, composed of collagen, and blue in color due to the production and presence of melanin pigment.
This study offers hope to people suffering with Morgellons disease who are often mistreated by the medical community and dismissed as a patients with a purely psychological condition called Delusional Parasitosis. Hopefully, a larger scale study will replicate the results of this small, yet extremely important, study so that the people with Morgellons disease can finally get the proper medical treatment they desperately deserve for a condition now proven to have a somatic cause, rather than a purely psychiatric cause.
The following article is taken from http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-5945/15/1
Here is the title -
Exploring the association between Morgellons disease and Lyme disease: identification of Borrelia burgdorferi in Morgellons disease patients.
Marianne J Middelveen1, Cheryl Bandoski2, Jennie Burke3, Eva Sapi2, Katherine R Filush2, Yean Wang3, Agustin Franco3, Peter J Mayne1 and Raphael B Stricker14*
Background
Morgellons disease (MD) is a complex skin disorder characterized by ulcerating lesions that have protruding or embedded filaments. Many clinicians refer to this condition as delusional parasitosis or delusional infestation and consider the filaments to be introduced textile fibers. In contrast, recent studies indicate that MD is a true somatic illness associated with tickborne infection, that the filaments are keratin and collagen in composition and that they result from proliferation and activation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts in the skin. Previously, spirochetes have been detected in the dermatological specimens from four MD patients, thus providing evidence of an infectious process.
Methods & Results
Based on culture, histology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy and molecular testing, we present corroborating evidence of spirochetal infection in a larger group of 25 MD patients. Irrespective of Lyme serological reactivity, all patients in our study group demonstrated histological evidence of epithelial spirochetal infection. Strength of evidence based on other testing varied among patients. Spirochetes identified as Borrelia strains by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or in-situ DNA hybridization were detected in 24/25 of our study patients. Skin cultures containing Borrelia spirochetes were obtained from four patients, thus demonstrating that the organisms present in dermatological specimens were viable. Spirochetes identified by PCR as Borrelia burgdorferi were cultured from blood in seven patients and from vaginal secretions in three patients, demonstrating systemic infection. Based on these observations, a clinical classification system for MD is proposed.
Conclusions
***Our study using multiple detection methods confirms that MD is a true somatic illness associated with Borrelia spirochetes that cause Lyme disease. ***
Further studies are needed to determine the optimal treatment for this spirochete-associated dermopathy.
Ted's Remedies
Posted by Linda (Benton Ky, U.s.a.) on 11/19/2015
I have had Morgellons nearly 3 years. 3 years of hell. I discovered a shampoo with 10% sulfer, ($5.10) I bathe in it, using tepid water so to not rinse it completely from the pores. Several hours later you will see & feel dead varmits. I can also say I found much comfort using a lice spray called Lice Freee, I buy it by the case online but can be purchased at major pharmacies. ($9.00 6 ounce bottle) I add a little shampoo to it lately. Using also a liquid bandage, changing everyday or so, cuts air supply off, helps prevent larger lesions. I also use the Scott's brand lint remover roller & anything I want to save I put on heavy duty clear packaging tape. I believe there is not a pore or opening on my body these things in their many forms have not invaded. I spray from my head to my toes. Areas that turn red after spraying usually have a larva in it. I also use a small hand held microscope, allows you to see what specks really are. Spraying usually gives relief for about 5 hours. I actually use it in my nose & ears. Enough for now, I could write on & on. Oh, I wouldn't worry about pushing things deeper, they go there anyway. They are in my ears, mouth, eyes, & all over.

This is a website I discovered for morgellons. They are NOT trying to sell anything, just their opinion on what worked for them, after trying lots of things.

Salt Water
Posted by Beverly (Anaheim CA.) on 06/05/2023
I also started using salts recently but I'm not swimming in it. I just put sea salt with iodine with water in a spray bottle and leave it on and when I shower I use dandruff shampoo or dawn dish soap. After the shower the biofilm is peeling off dramatically. It's best not to use lotion but if I need moisturizing I use a tube of tea tree oil and coconut oil that I purchase from the 99 cent store. My legs were very pink but my normal color is already coming back within just 2 days of using this protocol. It's unbelievably inexpensive treatment that Cures Morgellons I Praise God bcuz He is The One who in the beginning when this all started in 2007 brought the one word salt into my spirit but dumb dumb me listened to everybody on line saying oil head to toe was the answer and that was awful bcuz everything sticks to you dog hairs human hairs lint blah blah blah Argh!
Red Chicken Mite Vs Morgellons
Posted by Sharon (Tampa) on 05/15/2014
Morgellons: To all the sufferers of this parasite, I, too have suffered for 7 years. I was lucky, as l caught it from my mother, who had sent off a sample to the University of Texas entomology dept.and found out it is definitely a red chicken mite. If you research mites, you find they have 4 stages, egg, larva, larva molt, adult. The larva is white and soft bodied. the larva molt is a little firmer and white and does the crawling, while the adult mite is white(unless it has fed) and hard like a speck of salt. That explains some of the confusion people are having over what they are fighting. Many insects have several stages to reach adulthood. The eggs are laid under the skin. Almost impossible to see except on darker clothing, or in bright sunlight as they are less than a speck of pepper in size. These mites live in the pores of your skin, lay eggs every 5-7 days, and the eggs hatch out in 3-4 days. And they are longer-lived than the scabies mite, some of them surviving as long as 9 months without a blood meal. The icky part is that as the females eat their way onto your skin to lay eggs, poop collects in their tunnels that they use to travel (yes they poop), hence the black, blue, and green "fibers". An entomologist can help you with info. They create a nest where they live and breed, hence the pimple-like appearance. There is much good info online about mite life cycles, and also, birdmites.org is helpful to learn what you are battling.
Magnets, Far Infrared, Zapper

I have drank 1/4 tsp. borax to 1 liter water since 3/2013. It kills fungus from inside out. A slow process but does help. Drinking 1/2 tsp. baking soda with a 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide twice a day also has helped me keep my system alkaline. Peroxide on my skin seemed to make matters worse. The Dr. told me, instead of buying an expensive infrared system to buy a brooding lamp and infrared light. I bought mine at Home Depot, since then I have found them cheaper at a feed store. The brooding lamp has a porcelain socket that won't melt from the infrared light. The light comes in clear white, or red. The clear goes deeper into the skin. I have mine attached to the back of a chair, aimed at feet up. Zappers you need to be careful with. Anything that pulses your blood can cause blood clots. I have heard of people using the magnets and biggest complaints is that M. get caught up in them. IDK as I have never used them. My greatest improvement has been by using Fenbendazole by Safeguard. It is a horse de-wormer. It is NOT recommended for use in humans. I know several people that have used it and are better also with no side effects. The protocol is suppose to be 6 months of using 1 time a day. I divide my weight by ounces and came up with a dose that I take. I never have the idea that more is better. I also am having my Dr. monitor my liver and kidney functions. I am not recommending anyone to use this. I am only sharing what I am doing and what is helping me. Don't do or use anything without investigating what it does and then make your decision. We all have fell victim to a lot of protocols that are expensive and useless in the end. Good Luck with whatever you choose to do.

I happened upon this thread via a Google search...and I have just finished reading an eye-opening book in which I first heard of Morgellon's disease: Overcoming Parasites Naturally (Professional Edition), by Dr. James R. Overman, ND, of Ohio (now deceased), who did years'-worth of research and clinical treatment of parasites of all types, and had a number of patients with morgon (mutated arthropods) infestations (and usually many microzymas, and often leaking breast implants). He developed the Harmonic Quad zapper (far more useful than Hulda Clark or Rife types that target only specific frequencies), which kills all sorts of parasites - BUT zappers DON'T kill parasites IN THE INTESTINAL TRACT; and herbal combinations (which DO work in the intestinal tract) needed specifically for microzymas and Morgellon's, also an alkalinizing bioelectrical protocol. He -cured- people of Morgellon's. Dr. Eric Pierce, Overman's son-in-law, worked with Dr. Overman and took over his practice. He can be reached at OriginalDesignWellness.com. (I once was a patient of Dr. Overman's, know others helped by him. I trust the "inheritors" of his therapeutic practice.) Read the book!
