What is Morgellons Syndrome and What is Causing
It?
Definition of Morgellons Syndrome -
Morgellons is an unusual parasite-like skin disease, which produces irritating
sores all over the body
People suffering from this condition report a
range of symptoms including crawling, biting and stinging sensations as if
they had insects on and under their skin. Skin lesions (rashes or sores) appear
all over the body. Fibers of different colors - blue, red, green, etc.
threads - are found protruding out of the skin. They also
may have sand-like granules and/or black speck-like materials on or
beneath the skin. Additionally some sufferers also report
systemic manifestations such as fatigue, mental confusion (brain fog), short
term memory loss, joint pain, and changes in vision.
Some sufferers of this skin disorder or disease
see it as similar to scabies.
The name Morgellons disease was coined by the
Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF), which chose the name based on French
literature of the 17th century describing a similar condition in children. This
old medical paper described symptoms similar to those now associated
with Morgellons such as the sensations of itching, crawling, biting,
stinging, pricking and burning...
Causes of Morgellons Syndrome -
The actual cause of Morgellons, at this time, remains unknown. There
are several suspects. Some doctors believe this disorder is related to
Lyme's Disease. It is interesting to note that many of those who show symptoms of
Morgellons Syndrome, once had Lyme's Disease. Is it possible that Morgellons
is a second phase of Lymes?
Some physicians suspect an as yet unknown pathological agent and
point out that the "prions" that cause Mad Cow Disease were only recently discovered.
Perhaps another disease causing organism is just about to be
discovered.
Others believe that Morgellons is the result
of nano machines accidentally or purposefully released into
the environment. A nano machine is a man-made molecular machine
comprised of a few atoms or chains of atoms, use to do work at the atomic level
in manfacturing process. In the biological field, nano machines work at the
celular level inside of body cells. Although this sounds like something straight out of some space strategy games,
nano machines are a reality. Much like in a space game, their objective is to assemble and attack or repair at a cellular level. The fear is that the self replicating nature of the
nano machines might not be able to be turned off. Without being unchecked how could you stop the machines?
Those who subscribe to the Morgellons nano
machine theory believe that these tiny machines are creating tiny fibers that
spread throughout the entire body building a new kind of bodily network.
They also think that the Morgellons
nano machines seem to have some kind of hive or 'group
intelligence.' And that the nano machines are trying to remake the human body into some kind
of synthetic biological machine!
Is there really a possibility that
an invasion of human tissues in the form of self-assembling,
self-replicating machines has occurred? That nano machines are
creating visible tubes, colored fibers, wires, and other arrays that
could be sensors or 'antennae', by genetically
altering human cells? We don't
know, but nanotechnology is a real, and thriving industry
today. Although this theory is still thought of as science fiction for a movie or space game, this could be a potential cause of the diesase.
Another possible source of Morgellons maybe
coming from Chemtrails. Fibers similar to those described by
Morgellons patients appear to be found in jet plane exhausts - those white lines
in the sky caused by the passage of airplanes. Chemtrails appear to be
particularly heavy releases from planes (perhaps purposeful releases of unknown
chemicals, nano machines, viruses, etc.) containing fibers. There is
strong anecdotal evidence linking these Chemtrail aerosol fibers to Morgellons
fibers.
It is possible that the cause for Morgellons
is thus some type of chemical poisoning caused by airplanes. It
should be noted, here, that airplanes do cause environmental pollution in
humans. Traces of unburned jet fuel have been found in mother's breast milk
around the world...
Is Morgellons
Syndrome a Real Disease? Because no root cause of Morgellons has
yet to be found, many doctors feel those who are exhibiting symptoms of
Morgellons actually only believe they are infected with
parasites. Diagnosed with delusional parasitosis, these patients are thus
referred to psychaitrists.
Morgellons is characterized by many physicians and
dermatologists as "Delusions of Parasitosis" meaning that the patient thinks
there are insects or bugs crawling and scratching under their skin. They exhibit
neurological symptoms such as depression, chronic fatigue and "brain fog" which
render the patient essentially incapacitated.
The
Morgellons Research
Foundation argues that
the behavioral disorders are caused by Morgellons. The
scientific community is taking the opposite view - describing the
symptoms of Morgellons as a delusion associated with an underlying
behavioral disorder.
Whether Morgellons is caused by an infectious agent such as Lymes, comes from
an
environmental source - nano machines or chemical poisoning, or is the result of
a psychological disorder, there is no doubt that the sores, fibers, pains, and other
physical manifestations are real. Until the root cause is determined, the
symptoms should be treated. Keeping a clean home and office is an easy way to start defending yourself against any diseases or illness.
Treatment for Morgellons Syndrome - Due to the
nebulous nature of this disease - the cause for the disease has yet to
be determined, a regular treatment regime has yet to be created. Anecdotal
evidence suggests that a treatment similar to what is given for Lyme's Disease has
been effective in some cases. Others have found relief in the use of colloidal
silver (silver suspended in liquid, usually
water).
And, of course, many
doctors have suggested that psychological treatments are in order.
People are
suffering from Morgellons Syndrome. Sometimes whole families come down
with the symptoms at the same time. At this time, some are
recommending that you treat the sores and other symptoms as you would as if they
appeared seperately. And continue to demand real attention from your doctors and
further research into this
condition.
