Is this how it usually starts? What portion of CLD victims seem to eventually come down with this disease?

Adam, funny you bring this up. I've had a

splinter looking thing in my thumbnail for the

last month and a half. I clipped it off last

week. I just thought it was part of the bugs

coming out or possibly my meds. I don't think

it's morgellons, I really didn't think the two

were related. However, I did find it in a odd

place. Has anyone else had these?

Adamm,

I have had this, and when i started the antiparasitic herbs and then salt/c everything inside started to push outside. They are parasitic worms.

Morgellons is Lyme......Lyme and Morgellons is one and the same!

If you haven't checked this site out please do so www.lymephotos.com

This is what i and a lot of people have pouring out of them.

PARASITES and WORMS are a MAJOR part of Lyme. Burgdorfer originally found Filarial Worms in the tick and as an aside found the spirochetes.

Everyone is focusing on the spirochetes when the most prevelant invaders go unchecked.

If everyone thinks that only a "Select Few" people with Lyme disease have these, they won't get well.

Please don't ignore this,

Gael

Doesn't sound like the Morgellon's I know.

There is a Dr. Gary Schwartz who is connected with the Morgellons foundation. I can't find the info right now, but he states that morgellons "fibers" are the filarial worms.

If you look at the pictures in lymephotos you will see the colored thread like worms people report. I have seen and experienced these firsthand.

Hey--thanks for the info all! I think it might just be trauma-related,
as certain parts of the hand can take a real beating in cello playing, and I do a lot of that.
