Morgellons Disease is Real According to One Doctor

Doctors have again shunned evidence of the skin disease Morgellons which is also known as Morgellons Syndrome.But some MD's are saying the latest reports are nonsense.

The skin disease has been attributed to what doctors are calling a psychiatric disorder in which patients complain of parasitic type itching as if some kind of bug is crawling around under their skin.

The itching leads to intense scratching until the affected area starts to bleed. Some doctors have in fact made finds of fibers or some kind of nano-type parasite that can only be explained as being man-made.

Doctors who have tried to defend their patients and brought forward evidence have been themselves discredited by their own fellow professionals, leading to many people who suffer from Morgellons to cry, "conspiracy!"

Unfortunately it seems as if suffers are in for a long ride with their symptoms as doctors are not convinced that Morgellons Disease is an actual parasitic condition, but are more likely to send a patient for psychological testing rather than treat the symptoms with any form of anti-fungal drugs.

Speaking about a study into Morgellons Dr. Mark Davis told the Reuters News Agency, "Patients often complain that the physician isn't examining their skin closely enough to see the infesting organisms.

This study indicates that even when skin biopsies are obtained, and specimens of the organisms brought by the patients are carefully examined, there is no objective evidence of skin infestation."

All the medical arguing still does not explain how some patients are showing defined symptoms with sometimes 'Morgellons Fibers' growing from their skin. The evidence is actually there for all to see yet nobody is explaining what is causing Morgellons.

Doctor Robert C. Bansfield, MD wrote a letter to the Editor of The Psychiatric News back in June 2007, in which he explained how Morgellons could not possibly be delusional.

He said towards the end of his letter:

"When these patients are treated with modest courses of antibiotics, their dermatological and psychiatric symptoms often show significant improvement.

Without a thorough assessment, Morgellons patients are commonly given a diagnosis of delusional parasitosis, resulting in a delay in proper treatment. Whatever Morgellons is, it is something very different and unique and should be considered as a condition needing further study and possibly listed in the next edition of the DSM.

In summary, Morgellons disease and delusional parasitosis are two distinct clinical entities. Morgellons does not appear to be an imaginary or delusional illness and merits the research effort that we see with any other emerging and serious illness."

Another specialist in the study of strange and new diseases is Doctor Hildegard Staninger, writes in a journal published and presented at National Registry of Environmental Professionals in October 2006:

"A disease in which individuals have the growth of fibers from their skin that burn at 1,700 degrees F and do not melt. (20)(* see below) A private study to determine the chemical and biological composition of these fibers has shown that the fibers' outer casing is made up of high density polyethylene fiber (HDPE).

The fiber material is used commonly in the manufacture of fiber optics. There is no history of the individual in that industry or coming into contact with this material.

It was further determined that this material is used throughout the bio nanotechnology world as a compound to encapsulate a viral protein envelope, which is composed of a viron (1/150th times smaller than a virus) with DNA, RNA, RNAi (mutated RNA) or RNAsi linear or ring plasmids for specific functions.

(21, 22) Toxicological pathology identification of tissue biopsies from an individual diagnosed with Morgellons revealed the presence of continual silica or glass tubules with the presence of silicone."

Studies into Morgellons are still being conducted, but even with the best of evidence to state that the symptoms are not imaginary, there is apparently a lot of evidence to suggest that the illness is psychological.

It seems contradictory in the least on each side of the fence, in my humble opinion patients who are suffering from Morgellons are probably actually truly suffering a parasitic infestation of the skin... those suffering a psychological condition are actually suffering a psychological condition... two separate illnesses!
