NaturalNews) Morgellons is a terrifying disease reaching pandemic status. Yet because the symptoms of the disease are so bizarre, people who have it tend to withdraw and become isolated from society. With mysterious fibers and parasites coming through lesions in their skin, Morgellons sufferers often live in fear. As a result there is no pressure on the medical establishment to become educated about the disease, and most practitioners continue to view it as isolated instances of delusional parasitosis. Because Morgellons affects cognitive functioning and the ability to communicate, its victims are often unable to advocate for themselves, and few are knowledgeable or willing to advocate for them. Trisha Springstead, a former surgical charge nurse and clinical educator who now works as an advocate for patient’s rights, has stepped in to fill some of this gap. Both knowledgeable and experienced with Morgellons, Trisha agreed to be interviewed to provide the kind of insight into the disease that can only come from direct experience.
Barbara: Trisha, thank you for doing this interview. It’s time for information about this disease to become widely available. Hopefully this is a start. Is incidence of Morgellons confined to the U.S.?
Trisha: Morgellons is everywhere. It’s in Australia, England, Germany. The only country where people have not reported cases of Moregllons is Iceland. Dr. Neculai Dulceanu, Head of the Department of Parasitology in Romania just scraped these from the skin of a 75 year old woman there [shows slides of fibers and parasites]. He found Rotifers and Collembola in her skin using a needle aspiration biopsy. As you can see, this shows how the fibers and parasites are intermixed. When you look deep enough into the skin, this is what you find.
No one truly knows how many people have this disease, as many of the persons I have spoken with have not reported to any database. Most people with Morgellons seem to think they are the only ones who have it, so awareness is paramount. It is so important for me to let new patients know they are not alone, and that there are thousands and thousands of people with this disease. ..read more here
A Challenge to Celebrities Who Quietly Suffer From Morgellons Disease
I have a challenge to Celebrities around the world that are silently and privately suffering from Morgellons Disease; when your symptoms have been reduced or eliminated, who among you will become the “Spokesperson for Morgellons?”
Morgellons disease is just as real as HIV was 30 years ago. The only difference is 30 years of research and study by the medical community that has gone in HIV. This will only occur when Morgellons hits a certain ‘plateau’ of patients and research attention.
What is truly needed now is a celebrity who has Morgellons and is willing to tell the world about this horrific disease. This will only work if the celebrity has Morgellons and has eliminated their symptoms to the point where they can really function in this capacity.
Let’s tell the truth here; 99.99% of the medical profession has never even heard the word ‘Morgellons’ yet alone has been willing to open their minds to the possibility that it might even exist. Only those who have experienced Morgellons can truly ‘know’ what this is unless they are living with some one who suffers every waking moment of their lives with this terrible disease on their minds. How could they not? The feeling of biting and scratching 24/7 will certainly draw anyone’s attention.
The author of this post deals with Morgellons victims daily, hundreds each month as this pandemic explodes across our planet. He hears their cries of pain and suffering, the loneliness and isolation they experience and most horrific is the way the medical community is quick to diagnose Delusions of Parasitosis (DOP) without the benefit of an exam or lab tests (to date all known lab test result in nothing being found).
What the MD’s have forgotten is that in order to have DOP, the patient must be schizophrenic because DOP is a sub-set of schizophrenia BEFORE they can be diagnosed with DOP. If their patient is not schizophrenic, DOP is not possible.
What is missing here is public awareness. To date 40 US Senators have written to the US CDC requesting an investigation. It took 6 years for the CDC to begin their investigation into this new disease. It has now been nearly a year and a half since the CDC began the investigation and their conclusions are expected in May of 2009. The question to the reader is: What sort of conclusion might you expect if you funded such an investigation if you only funded it to the tune of $338,000? You decide.
There is a safe and effective way for Morgellons victims to reduce or eliminate their Morgellons symptoms; Nutrasilver. This natural mineral has proven in thousands of cases to eliminate most, if not all cognitive and lesion symptoms within a few short weeks. Although not a cure, Nutrasilver has an amazing ability to push this disease out of the body from the inside rather than treating with lotions and potions. This can be very frightening, but the good news is that it is coming out of the body.
I am aware of several Celebrities who have become “symptom-free” from Morgellons disease using Nutrasilver and I challenge them to step forward and become the “Poster-child” of this grass-roots movement of Morgellons suffers. There are obvious personal benefits to doing this, but the most important thing a Celebrity can do for the Morgellons movement is to step up and make the world aware of this life-stealing disease and let Morgellons victims know they can get their lives back using Nutrasilver. http://www.nutrasilver.com

There has to be a common denominator with these patients. Find it and you`ll be closer to the cause. Same tactic as used with allergies. May I suggest to look for ice cream possibly. Also it might be a good idea for these folks to use concentrated black cherry juice which will eliminate any acidic crystalins that do develop from too much acid in the body.
Morgellons Disease is a “catch-all” for anything that ails you. That’s why it has an incredibly long, and growing, list of symptoms. You can report your symptoms and they’ll probably be added to the list. Since it includes everything real or imagined, most people have it. If not, you will surely get it. It’s a lot easier to get if you want it real badly, but sometimes it helps to pay attention, and stay tuned in. Due to all of its manifestations, almost anything will cure it… but maybe not for you. You may have the wrong kind. And if you do cure it, it will surely come back, only it may be with different symptoms. I told you there’s a whole lot of symptoms. It can also count as Morgellons, even if you know it’s something else. That’s because whoever told you is probably wrong. Check the list of symptoms. If your’s are on there, it’s your disease too, and no one can take it away from you against your will. About the only way, though, of keeping the symptoms gone all the time, regardless of your variation, is to stay drunk, or to use some good drugs, but I don’t mean the kind you get at the pharmacy, unless you’re lucky, and most people aren’t. If they are, they don’t stay lucky very long. Well, good luck.
hello,
does any one know if joel did his story for the abc.
my wife & i hav e had this desease for 7 years of hell.
we could write a book on it. the stages , changes, cycles,
effects on the body & inviroment. the fibres, hair like things,
glitters & black specs, that come out of our bodies
the dust & tiny dandruff like flakes that come shed constantly
from our bodies & it is nearly impossible to be rid of it.
and unfortunately. researchers are going down the wrong path.
it is not a fungus, although the fungus can co habbit with these things.
we saw the adult stage of these things, back when we first contracted it.
they are like a tiny strait stick. or a 2mm fine hair, tan to black in colour,
with a slightly darker head, imagine a really tiny burnt matchstick.
these things move by flicking, if they land on you or your cloths or
even through your shoes, they will penetrate right through a shoe,
into your foot. i saw 1 go into my hand, they just seem to melt into
your skin, within a second, & they are in,
& not as 1 st reported.. it is not just a irratating skin condition &
harmless, adults once in you burrow deep & settle along or in the bones
& dont ever leave,
all the things that come of us, is different stages of there life cycle,
that keep being produced coming out & reinfecting ourselfs & others.
by ingestestion, breathed in, or semi adult. burrow in through the skin
without you feeling it. but happening constantly
over time the more they reproduce, the more you get infected, & overun.
the immune system gets compremised,
then comes fatiuge, aches, pains. joints sieze up. fevers, itching,
crawling feelings restlessness, depression, brain fog.
they are not just a nusance. or a skin desease
they eat cartlidge, destroy joints, eat away flesh under the skin
leaving big suncken old briuse type scares on your body. maily legs & arms
they block small veins & capilaries. & take over areas of your body, buid
up thick layers of skin, holes they make show up as freckles or small moles
they get into the head, cause head aches, tooth aches, ear aches, even
borrow into & out of the eye ball.
into the jaw bone, gums, & live in your tounge, they are a horrid evil curse
they are found and thrive in meat, especially meat on bone
there are stages that are mpossible to kill, or get rid off.
i could go on & on but i wont. im sure the do have a uniquice spiratite associated with them, like the one associated with syphalis, which also burrows in & eats cartledge and destoys joints & eventually disfigures & leaves one crippled.
p.s you hardly feel them go in.. when you feel a sharp prick, check the area, thats them comming out. normally white tiny balls, which if you check is a tiny mass of 100s of dust size minuture fibres. when they fall off you. those tiny balls eventually break up & get air born by even the breeze you make walking. & settles with the dust. or stuck in your clothes, eventually back in you or others
around you
