*Important enough to share. CDC investigation into the 'delusional' Morgellons' cases required inviting Kaiser Permanente in the Bay Area and the Air Force to help out...who deemed it delusional.
I will have to keep reading. I added it to my post with a quote about antibiotics helping while anti-psychotics don't, about halfway through and went to bed last night.
What I am thinking is keratinous growth = retinoids are involved somehow.
"Central nervous system symptoms, cardiac symptoms, endocrine dysfunction (hyperparathyroidism, adrenocortical hypofunction, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypercalcemia, elevated fasting insulin levels, and parathyroid adenomas), a high rate of autoimmune disease, and low core body temperature were commonly encountered in their cohort."
*I have had hyperparathyroidism secondary to low calcium (seems genetic, I need a little extra calcium, or the symptoms return) - the symptoms were a weird jittery pressure for me - not skin crawling or itching though as much as pressure - I had urges to self-harm- to pop myself with a knife. Oddly not suicidal or shame based at all. It was bizarre jitteriness of the brain and body. I hid the knives and got better eventually but it took some years first.
Yes. Someone I ran across in the past used this product. I see they have a blog on their site which might lead others to information they need. https://morgellonsdirect.com/
During a 5G Summit I heard a man speak that used to work at a HAARP facility and spoke of Boron also being needed to prevent MD.
There are word limits which make it hard to resummarize everything you already crammed in your paper in the Conclusion. I thought it was a concise conclusion restressing a very main point that it is malpractice basically to diagnosis someone as delusional because they have chronic itch. *Good find Inugo Montoya. The Oklahoma website is a good resource to know too. Thanks Rick.
Oklahoma have consistently been good guys as Inugo found. Another good group was Charles E Holman foundation (e.g. https://thecehf.org/morgellons-fiber-study-summary/ -- there are multiple colors in biopsies in addition to the turquoise autofluorescence mentioned here.)
Otherwise you may find the condescending voice of the few publications available largely angering. Most publications from the era amount to today's fact-checker attitude and depth of insight.
I greatly expanded this post and added a solution from nature - pomegranate peel extract inhibits MMPs (reducing the weird growths) and would likely help an underlying infection too.
*Yes, the medical professionals, even the 'activists', often upset me. I have had to grow a thicker mental skin. They don't even seem to realize how dismissive (and wrong) they are.
Interesting! I knew I was guided to your work for a reason and the pomegranate content keeps stirring in my consciousness. I have Lyme and my skin on my extremities looks much older than I am. No amount of collagen supplement, bone broth, dry brushing, sauna has improved it. I have a face serum with pomegranate oil & sea buckthorn oil that I'm going to begin applying to my extremities and see if I notice a difference. I think our season in the sub tropics has past on fresh pomegranate this year...drat!
Southern hemisphere season is ~ March to May I think. They are still in season/end of season here in the Northern hemisphere. I dry the peel to use off season.
I watched a video presentation about this years ago but can find very little information and zero studies.
Any ideas on where someone could start researching further?
Thank you, Happy New Year!
Here's something I found: https://medicine.okstate.edu/research/morgellons.html
Found an nteresting article with some additional research links. Guess I am busy this weekend...
Thanks!

Conclusion was a cop out.

*and iodine deficiency is likely involved in that list of comorbid conditions.
The keratinocyte involvement is directly related to spirochete growth/invasion tactics.

This is interesting information regarding morgellons. There is so much evil in this world.
