This is a blog for those interested in viewing issues of toxicity in relation to the condition often referred to as Morgellons Disease. I recommend any protocol of managing or healing from this condition be reviewed by a medical professional prior to patient implementation.
Some peace while putting the pieces together
I am creating this at the new coffee shop in town. The owner and I just talked about a concept we're calling a "bright ripple". The bright ripple starts with one, builds to two, and keeps growing. It's positive action growing exponentially until it creates a tsunami of bright beauty and chases off the dark. Everyone get your boards and surf the ripple!
This woman's account of all she has gone through could be the story of so many of the sufferers I've communicated with. The world does need to know! Laura Cherry Talks About Morgellons God bless her for sharing!
Don, Lyme disease and mercury poisoning are often confused one for the other. The bacteria used to diagnose lyme disease occupy the same areas of the body as mercury does (this bacteria loves mercury!) Glutathione is the amino acid used by the body to chelate heavy metals (depleted in people with heavy metal poisoning). Thanks for sending the link- Joe
A parasitologist argues that this is a neurological problem for people who have too much mercury toxicity. Other believes that patients with mercury toxicity face similar symptoms such as scratching and crawling. While many other physicians disagree with his prediction, as some of them have cured several Morgellons patients using a lymphatic drainage massage, a method used to treat mercury toxicity. However, a recent study conducted by the CDC suggests that Morgellons might actually be linked to psychology.
Annie, My personal experience and research link Morgellons in part or whole to mercury as a neurotoxin. The Parasitologist I believe you are speaking of is Dr. Omar Amin; his research has linked symptoms to dental adhesives (not mercury...though he is now talking about the link to mercury). The CDC "research" on Morgellons Disease was poorly done- they did, however, map a density of sufferers which appears to correlate with the Lower Guadalupe Watershed (this is directly below the largest mercury mining operation ever to exist in the continental US). Mercury toxicity will make you mentally unstable- this is a symptom and NOT a cause!
Some claims for the CAUSE of Morgellons condition are opportunistic infections in an individual with a lowered immune system, mercury poisoning (from felt hatbands) and dental sealants (Neurocutaneous Syndrome). The description of symptoms historically makes it difficult to tell if the same disease is actually occurring. The condition has attracted some alternative treatments such as colloidal silver to purge the toxic materials.
Annie, Dr. Amin's work/research has connected Morgellons symptoms to dental materials (primarily he has connected them to dental adhesives containing toulene such as Dycal, Life, and others). The symptoms described my medical doctors of late French Renaissance in the Languedoc Provence match Morgellons and have patterning matching mercury poisoning. Dental adhesives/ toxins didn't exist in the mid- 1500s. The Barrier Theory suggest symptoms are due to internal change of mercurial speciation. Colloidial silver may add to the body's toxic burden (which is why I have not taken it...and do not recommend it).
I am not 100% committed to what the cause of my Morgellons is. I did have all of my amalgam fillings (about 10 total) replaced around 8 yrs ago. I did not do any follow up detoxing which was very stupid as I work in the natural health field and should have known better. I did not go to a biological dentist because it was so costly but I worked with my own dentist and he followed the protocol I recommended. Ex...no more that two teeth at a time, same quadrant, rubber dam etc. So I think I falsely thought I was safe with no follow up detoxing.
Then 3 yrs after that I got scabies and then it all went down hill from there. I have been faithfully following my supplement protocol and doing 4 infrared sauna sessions a week...without fail and I am finally making progress. But I just can't seem to clear the acne/lesions on my back and upper arms but I'm keeping at it.
But I digress. I do believe that it is a combination of things that finally tip the toxicity pot. The parasite component as in my case may be secondary to the cause but I don't know for sure...
We all carry plenty of toxins. Some of us are genetically ill-designed for detoxing. When actively pulling toxins out, your toxicity-related symptoms increase. I find prayer, meditation, hiking, yoga and such to be very helpful. I also have recently started taking Zeo Gold (a chelation agent you can purchase without a prescription) and am impressed. Keep on working on your system and read up on Functional Medicine (if you haven't already- Mark Hyman, MD is very knowledgeable!) Saunas are great too!

NAC and Glutathione are chelators which aid in removing metals from body. Borrelia populations correlate in the body with location of mercury.
