Apparently San Francisco is a hotbed:
The disease sounds like a nightmare. In fact, one Web site claims Morgellons was “invented” recently to help promote a summer horror movie. A search on the Internet reveals dozens of people who have posted magnified photos of their symptoms — usually twisted, thread-like protrusions from the skin and sometimes hazy images that look like small bugs.It doesn’t help convince disbelieving doctors that many sufferers complain of hard-to-believe symptoms. One San Francisco woman describes “tiny green shrimp” that come from her face, and she said she saw a fly pop out of her right eye. Even doctors and patients who believe Morgellons exists cringe at such reports.

I had the symptoms of Morgellons disease including the parasites.My doctor prescrbed Hydroxyzine HCL 10 MG. and Clobetasol Propionate ointment 0.05% The symptoms cleared up in 10 days.
most simply cannot fathom the ramifications of such a disclosure. The infectious agent causing this is caused by a stray target (nondisclosed) created by experimental research done under a C3 permit by a proteomics research center. In other words it is a man made creation which has escaped containment. This target was created for research into artificial skin, wound dressing as well as cancer research tools. This is a military issue of high caliber, enough so to be defended by many parties, hence all the conflicting reports and otherwise lack of any credible information. The microscopic images shown in the video found at http://www.crossinglines.net (follow the links) is completely out of my area of expertise, I am not a microbiologist. However the Macroscopic images shown and this agents interaction with host are EXACTLY the same thing I am able to show on my own body to anyone that will listen and would like to look. For photos of the fibers, follow these links.

and finally the most common thing reported and seen by those suffering from this is the fibers seen outside the body. One can put fresh sparkling clean sheets on their bed, shower and scrub fanatically, go from shower to bed, then wake up to find these structures in bed with them. I am not kidding when I say these were not in the bed when you got in it. http://www.crossinglines.net/pic_of_moving_fuzz.jpg
The video compiled by a scientist in Europe can be viewed by following the links at http://www.crossinglines.net. If you are a scientist or research professional, please share your comments concerning what you are seeing in this, as I have said, only the macroscopic images mean anything to me and would love some qualified remarks concerning the microscopic images.
From what I understand the reasons for the lack of acknowledgement from the medical community is a political as can be. Once the uninfected general public becomes aware of the release of this thing into public space, reactions may become unpredictable. Also, the economic problems which will be sure to follow. Everything these days is genomic/ proteomic research related—from the paint on the door to the food on your plate. In fact, several hundred billion a year in the US alone. Also it appears that even though this seems to be a accidental release, this accident is being “nurtured” by big pharm with obvious goal of the need for lifelong suppressive therapy.
The video’s creators have also stated that this element is differentiating. Meaning it is the cause of several seemingly unrelated diseases. If a single pathogen is worth a billion dollars to the medical industry then this pathogen is worth 10’s of billions. This bug is a money maker and we are all at the mercy of the medical industry. The key word to concentrate on here is INDUSTRY. All industry is profit orientated and this should scare the bejeebbers out of you. Hence the lack of motivation to fund research into this disorder. It will without doubt prove that these industries focus primarily on the effects of disease and not the cause of them. To cure is not profitable, but to treat over and over again is. Look at the treatments HIV patients must take for life in order to stay alive.
A pathogen represents billions and to take a cause of disease away is a disaster for many.
More to follow, my damn fingers hurt and I stink at typing.

scroll down and look at the .999 silver coin experiment.
interesting.
I have/had all the symptoms of Morgellons and it could possibly be related to a home visit from my military son? Now what? Could nonbladder, nonrectal damp,wet incontinance be one ramification? Will I ever be able to get my other knee replaced? Why are scars and “nrmal” skin active producers of filaments sometimes? Everything produces them. It is scarey and a miserable thing to have as a companion. And why is my husba,d apparently unaffected?
I have the symptoms of morgellons, and I can verify, this is real, 24/7, and it hurts like heck. I know that this is not delusions of parasitosis, as I can SEE it is real. I use nutrasilver to help control the stuff. I hope some decent research is done soon, as I have read that it may be contagious, and if so, soon a lot of innocent people may be suffering a lot. I hate to think of my children or grandchildren getting this condition. I really don’t have much contact with them, except by telephone, internet. My life has changed so drastically, as I don’t know if it is contagious, but I can’t take any chances, so I stay away from the family and friends that I really want to be with. From some of the articles that I have read, I see that it could be a target proteome(?).
If you are interested in Morgellons Disease or experience Morgellons symptoms, I would like to invite you to participate in the Morgellons Disease Information Community and Message Board at morgellonsite.com
All the symptoms have attacked me. Several Doctor visits and over a thousand dollars worth of blood work have done no good. I have contacted the CDC, my congressmen, senators and the Surgeon General. This is a systemic attack that is very real…I wish I was delusional and I most certainly would love to have a diagnoses of just about anything rather than being dismissed as DOP. Meanwhile clear fiber formations have manifested on my skin,in my eyes, etc. I won’t bore you with gore. The truth will have to surface about this real and present danger to the United States citizens in that so many are being affected. It’s just a matter of time. God Bless all…
Dr. James Matthews, MD Endorses NutraSilver as an “Effective Therapy” for Some Morgellons Symptoms Edit PDF Print E-mail

Dear Morgellons Community Members,
I have some preliminary data indicating that NutraSilver is an effective therapy for some of the symptoms, in some of the patients, suffering with Morgellons Syndrome, and after new drug applications have been filed, endorse trials of its use for this mysterious condition.
About 2.5 years ago, I met my first Morgellons patient and three months later, I became a patient myself.
I sorted through all available data, what little there was, and came upon the link with Lyme disease made by William T. Harvey, M.D., M.P.H..
I used almost every available method of Advanced Western Medicine over a period of two years, including variations on: the Burrascano protocol; Shoemaker Biotoxin-binding protocol; Marshall protocol; Sherry Roger’s detoxification protocols; a host of anti-parasitic medications; UV; Infrared; Saunas; Salt and C; Diatomaceous Earth; many immune boosters; regular Bikram, Dahn and Iyengar Yoga, and after all this, felt “ok”, and had been off of all prescription medications for about six months.
Then, about four weeks ago, I heard about NutraSilver and chose to try some personally.
Now, most people recognize that precipitation of a Herxheimer Reaction is a good indicator that your therapy is effective. In my case, I had precipitated these gently, and detoxified many, many times, and believed there was very little infection left in my body to cause a Herx. This turned out not to be the case. A unique, deep tissue Herx occurred which gave way to greater feelings of well being and physical health than I had previously experienced with any other method.
I recognized the potential value of this new therapy and immediately gave my two sickest patients my remaining samples.
In one of the patients, who had no lesions and had already been treated for about 1 year with my integrated protocol (above), we observed only slight improvement in his symptoms of creepy crawly and prickly sensations.
In the second patient, who had only just begun my protocol, and had been suffering with multiple bodily and facial lesions, the results were dramatic. Within days his skin started clearing. He declared he felt “very good”, with improved mental processes and mood, and increased energy.
NutraSilver is a special suspension of Ionized, Colloidal Silver in distilled water. The suspension is created through a unique proprietary process where water is negatively charged and clustered so that the silver is well suspended, and theoretically better absorbed. Colloidal Silver has a long history of use as an antimicrobial agent, and there are studies showing that NutraSilver kills multiple pathogens in culture very effectively as well. I’m not aware of any toxicities with any, silver products, and the only significant side effect ever documented is argyria. This is an irreversible condition of grayish coloring of the skin that seems to occur when too much of the wrong kind silver is ingested. Best estimates indicate that a healthy 70 Kg person would need to ingest about 10 grams of Silver to be at risk for this condition. By contrast, 1 drop of NutraSilver contains only 0.090mg of Silver. In other words, a person would need to ingest over 100,000 drops of NutraSilver to even theoretically approach the risk for argyria. This may be why there has never been a single case of argyria documented with NutraSilver. Further, I’ve seen a study showing that properly prepared Colloidal Silver taken for two months is purged from the body at the same rate at which it is consumed. And, half of the remaining silver was purged within one month of stopping consumption. Taken together, this data suggests to me that the risk of argyria from NutraSilver is probably somewhere between extremely low and insignificant.
Before considering use of NutraSilver with your personal physician though, everyone needs to know that in 1999, the FDA had declared in a “Final Rule” that, “all over-the-counter (OTC) drug products containing colloidal silver or silver salts are not recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded.” Ultimately, the FDA is the authority in this area, and this letter is in no way meant to undermine their authority.
On the other hand, we’re dealing with a special situation here. To begin with, Morgellons wasn’t widely known in 1999 when the FDA ruling was made, and even today, the CDC hasn’t recognized Morgellons as a disease. Further, many people in the community are suffering so much that they may feel, after consultation with their personal physicians, that given how some have benefited, a trial of NutraSilver may be worth the tiny risk of argyria. Given how some are suffering, I can even imagine people feeling that trading Morgellons’ lesions for argyria quite fair, and agreeable.
The choice to try it or not, is a very personal one, where each individual must consider: their degree of suffering; other options; costs; risks; the FDA’s ruling; and most importantly, the recommendations of their personal physician. Further, I now know that at present, NutraSilver is classified as a nutritional supplement and can’t officially be used for any diseases, symptoms, or relief, only water purification. So, any individual who chooses to use it off-label, does so, AT THEIR OWN RISK.
After consulting with their own personal physician, if anyone does choose to use NutraSilver for Morgellons, please let us know how it goes. We hope to compile data about any possible risks, and benefits, and use this information in a “New drug” application to the FDA for clinical trials.
Standing together now, we will find answers, and we will begin to offer more relief for those suffering.
Conflicts of Interest: A small percentage from the sales of NutraSilver is paid to Advanced Medicine, L.L.C., a new nonprofit company that I direct. 100% of the monies received go directly back into the support of clinical and scientific research in Morgellons. Using this method of funding, I hope to raise more money for Morgellons research within the next year, than all of the other organizations, in all of the previous years put together.
I will be available to answer some questions on the Morgellons Hope Community Forum.
Sincerely,
James Matthews, M.D.
I have been a registered member of our suffering Morgellons Community for over five years. I have read about so many things to try to use for treating Morgellons. I have tried a few things that were recommended. The product I liked the best was Funga Soap (Walgreen’s). I haven’t used anything for over a year except for my own two hands, which seem to do more then any product I have tried. I don’t have lesions, and I am very careful not to do any damage to my skin. I am able to pull fibers out through my clothing. The fibers seem to have a web-like pattern just beneath the surface of the skin. When you get a string started you can follow it from node to node, and the fiber gets longer and longer outside of the body. There is no visible damage to the skin as I only use my finger tips, and the palms of my hands as I untangle this web or netting. To get a better grip I wrap the excessive length of fiber around a couple of my fingers. The mass of fiber around my fingers is a scary thing to see, as it tightens and starts to cut off my circulation in my fingers, I have to cut the fiber mass off of my fingers. I don’t think there isn’t a single part of my body that isn’t affected by the network of fibers. The web-like netting I believe is like a city so the critters can maneuver there way throughout our bodies easily, and obtain whatever resources they need from us to build their little city. I may be alone in my beliefs, but is it not logical to think, that if my vision is at least close, that if the little critters lost their empire(?) which took them over five years to build that they would give up, and leave my body? I do believe I have gotten to the core of web, and now it just a matter of pulling out the unanchored fibers (I hope!. If this is the case, I would much prefer my own natural remedy, thank you. The alternative solution can be found at https://morgellonstreatmentsteps.com
If I don’t reach the end of the string I will take the alternate route. All rivers do eventually meet the sea…

PS. In Israel DOP is Declaration of Principals. My own definition for DOP is Doctors Oppose Patients. I think our Medical community should require special licensing for DOP diagnosis. I also think that Psych med (anti-depressants, anxiety, mood stabilizers, etc.) should be prescribed exclusively by Licensed Psych. PhD.’s
