you know i've been researching this morgellons and have a suspicion that a) it's lyme or b) i've got a lot of the symptoms.
i have a downey white like, fur or something on my cheeks, white hair on my legs. i have NO lesions.
my hands have large veins and look very old. the skin looks horribly wrinkled.
can a llmd diagnose morgellons or can anybody here tell me what it is? the web keeps saying you have these awful lesions which weep and people actually pull fibers out of their bodies.
ain't got that, thank God.
does anybody have morgellons or know of somebody who does? is it treated by antibiotics?
i just pray i don't have this crap...

People with "Morgellons" have been dx with Lyme disease. It is a name given to symptoms. I have seen info that it really is Filarial Worms, a co-infection of Lyme. If you look on
you will see the so-called colored looking fibers which are actually these worms. I have had these and am almost in remission using antiparasitics.
If you google clm (cutaneous larva migrans) that could possibly explain your enlarged veins.

do you think humaworm would help?
i just got finished looking at a site that recommends something called nutrasilver and trilogy cardio essentials. said to use borax and some lemon soap.
i don't know what these are but i'm willing to give them a shot.
is nutrasilver the same as collodial silver? apparently the cardio essentials is some kind of drink with coq10, sort of like xango or something.

i saw an episode of mystery diagnosis and they said that morgellan's could be a co-infection of lyme disease, i think there was an NP in california who was treating this person
if i do a bit more research, i could get you the name, if that would be helpful, maybe a telephone consult?
the girl in the program said she was much better under the guidance of this NP-

How many LLMDs are willing to prescribe antiparasitics on a hunch? I'm not talking about Alinia per se but others as well...
I'd be willing to give this a whirl...

Only the LLMDS that follow Dr. K and his protocols are aware. He treats all of his Lyme patients for parasites/worms. I had to do this on my own as have others.
Antiparasitics are key in getting rid of Lyme disease. Check out
www.curezone.com Lots of great info. You can't always rely on your LLMD for everything. You might have to treat yourself for this,

I had the lesions and the "so called" fibers. I never saw them in all the years I had Lyme disease.
They only started to appear when I started to take herbs and salt/c. They were lying dormant until I started pushing them out of my body. They were causing most of my symptoms.

Morgellons is being studied quite heavily now as a matter of fact and the CDC has actually admitted that this is a new and unknown condition. Thank Goodness!
Dr. S and Dr. GS are doing some pioneering work on the subject and the latest results indicate that this is of an agro nature.
Really interesting stuff.
To read more accurate information on this condition, a good site is the Morgellons Research Foundation:

If you read the link pinelady posted above "Morgellons" is referred to as a parasitic illness.
By the early 1600s the illness was thought to be caused by the parasite Dracunculus (parasitic worms)

I just read Garth Nicholsons info. Along with the guidlines he states that it should be considered parasitic.
Worm like forms have been removed from lesions, but their role in the illness has not been confirmed. I still say it's a co-infection with Filarial Worms.
Willy Burgdorfer found adult FW in the ticks he dissected in 1984.
