morgellonsusa.com— This isn't fake! This disease is caused by live organisms infecting the human host and producing "wires" that will grow out of your sores. The pictures are too weird!

What would you do if you spent 5 years with an Illness, seeking different Physicians help, who continually don't want to believe that it is real? You'd probable say, "Listen to me, this is Real!" As the Nurse Ginger Savely stated, "When you've seen 100 patients who all share and tell of the same symptoms right down to the minutest detail, how could they make it up"? How could it be a hoax?How could it be a Hoax? When thousands of people go to physicians telling them of the same symptoms, yet the patient hasn't even heard of Morgellons? All kinds of people in different locales, who know nothing of one another? never heard or seen one another, don't have an Internet, and all go to see different doctors???All tell of the same symptoms. It's like shaking up a bucket full of different sized nuts bolts, and screws, and having all of the nuts screw themselves onto the right bolts and screws. It is simply not possible that it is a hoax.It just takes a little bit of thinking, honestly...If there's a reasonable question that is sincere, and it's not just because your head is too swollen, then I'm sure some of those people can give you an answer. Why be so quick to dismiss it?I've got a personal friend who one day kind'a mocked the idea that we could get a brain tumor, "Twitching his head and shaking it in jest with a big smile of course"...A short time later his wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor. (She's been through surgery and treatment, etc.)My point is, is that when you're having a good time, and you feel pretty good about yourself and things aren't touching you, it's easy to dismiss...Plenty of Science is outdated, and there are many things that a Doctor believes today that for instance maybe 50 to 400 years ago he would have been looked down upon, and castigated, even though he knew that he was right.Perhaps there are many today who would've crucified Gallileo, or Columbus.
Yeah, I surely see their point. That they found no parasite.That it is environmental.That skin suddenly peels off in sheets from body from head to toe.That one used Meth and hallucinated.That their body tissues and secretions explode into thousands of fragments.Then the fragments return and attack the body, re-penetrating it.That they have no Disease? but they are sick.That they have no illness, but they are sick.That they have Fibers.That drinking water and eating food healed them.If these aren't contradictory then tell me what is. This is worse than Morgellons. Go try to tell these things to your Doctor, and see what types of Meds they want to prescribe these people, or where they want to lock them up at.Yes indeed, these people do give Morgie's a bad name, and the only problem is???They had truly bizarre symptoms 100's times greater than Morgellons, and they cured it by drinking water and eating food.I'm sorry, but this type of logic doesn't do much for me. I have the proof of my Illness. All he offers is a story. Just as he said,...He's a writer.PickNShovel
Getting Real,So all of this about the Founder of the Organization is basic Knowledge...Where is it? Is it something that you just Surmized Up out of nowhere? or did you personally talk to the person and ask them what happened? Did you ask them if the things that you stated are true?Personally, I've been taught, that if you have a gripe with somebody that you should go directly to that person and present it, or enquire about it to them.Then let them speak for themselves,... Have you done this? or did you just make all of this up? and then say that this is common knowledge that everybody knows?I've spoken to them many times. If I had a doubt, I've asked them about what others had told me. Then I listened to them...Don't just make something up and then spout off at the mouth and say that it's common knowledge, like you're the insider, and were there at the time.Reasoning is peacable, but ranting is a ticking Time Bomb....tick, tick tick, tick, and I see you've exploded.Why should I throw away a microscope that shows what something really is?Why should I throw away filthy germy things. If it's just healthy harmless products of our environment, and they simply cannot hurt you, (especially if it's not even a Disease, and it's only made up)Then there's nothing to worry about, eveybody can eat them...What are you afraid of? I believe that I may have spoken with you before as I remember somebody who had a deep-seated grudge and hatred, filled with animosity towards the Founder of the Morgellons Research.And you see, this is your ticking time bomb motivations, this is what moves you, and from these intents of the heart come forth all of the filth that spews out like salt water mixed with bitter...Everybody can see it in you............ tick, tick, tick tick,...Hatred is not logical, nor reasonable, nor peacable,... just a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.Sincerely,PickNShovel
To Getting Real,Look, I know that I'm wasting my time with you, and personally I cannot respect very much that you say, it's a slanted view and opinion, surely it isn't fact in my eyes, and I'm not even following the many things that you say.I've counselled many times with the person you've disdained, and I hold the person in high esteem, as they've only helped me with many things...Have I ever had disatisfactions or doubts about them? of course.But it's always been after listening to somebody else's comments about them.I've been up front all the way, I've even told the person the things that others had told me, and gotten their feedback.The person was up front with me.I'm sorry that the information on Morgellons has thrown you into so much of an emotional tizzy...It didn't do that to me, I've only been glad to know of it, and I proved it to myself...Have I ever become emotional about the disease? Had I ever jumped to a conclusion about it? Had I ever started to go down a wrong direction with it?OF COURSE... but I kept my faculties... and re considered things, and re addressed things many times.It didn't have to be Morgellons that does this to people. We could do this with Prostate Cancer, the knowledge and the idea of Alzheimers, or trying to understand and to study ANY OTHER DISEASE...You could have lost control in your emotions analyzing any illness, jumping to conclusions, dreaming about it, having hallucinations on Meth, or whatever the case. (I don't mean this to slam anybody in any way)and (I don't have a problem with the name Morgellons either) even if it isn't the same Illness described in Medical Literature dating to the 1600's in Europe...They used the name because of the similarities, (I don't have a problem with this either)(The CDC has the Disease Case Definition Profile which Morgellons presented to them)I have a few recent letters from the CDC regarding their present looking into of this described Disease, they've recently investigated my Websight, spending well over an hour in total, viewing the several pages over and over again.They have a team that is looking into the issue of the illness.There are many newer News Releases both Text and Video come out the last few days, there's many more to come in the next few weeks...(They've even shown images from my Websight)I have this disease, I've proven it to myself, not just what you've seen... My whole family has seen it and supports me in this as well, my Doctors, my Medical Records, and this is just what I can think of right now.Again, I have no problem calling it Morgellons either...But this will be my last words to you about this, I'm not going to go on with you anymore about this...If you are who I wonder that you are, I really felt bad when I didn't see you anymore about the other place, and I hoped that it wasn't due to anything that I had said towards you.I remembered the day I jumped all over Hope for holding Conspiracy Viewpoints, and Anti-Government Ideology. (we get along though even still)But to me, this was part of the tizzy, and the emotional delusionment that many had posessed, and so I know what you speak of can really take hold of people...about becoming overwhelmed with so many ideas and thoughts and emotions...(Whether there's any truth to any Theory or not, I don't know, I just wat and see) and I've dedicated myself to the point that I'm not going to get caught up into Theories, Conspiracies, and all of the other Fantacies that we can have...I just know that i have this, and I want to find out what it is, and I want to have the chance to get well, or at least as well as can be...If you for yourself have found that "you do not have this Illness"... and thatYou just got caught up into an emotional response and only THOUGHT that you had it, only later to conclude that you don't...Then good for you, and I'm glad that you don't have what I have... and I'm glad that you're not sick with it...I'm glad for you and your wife also...But I don't want to argue about it anymore... Fare well to the both of you, and I hope for your continual success and wellbeing...But I know that I have it, and I can only be logical about it,... and I cannot deny the fact that I know within myself...See you around, OK,Sincerely,PickNShovel
Your judgment and comprehensive skills are manifest in all that you've stated. I apologize, but you've given me quite an enjoyable evening, because, among other funny things you said, about your take on me, try as I may, I just can't seem to locate my wife around here, anywhere. I don't think, even if I were a lesbian, that same sex marriage is even allowed in my home state. (Hehehe) I hope you continue being served and thank you for proving that you aren't a vulnerable person being taken for a long ride.
I hate to inform everyone on this subject, but it is a real disease. I have been discussing this with Randy S. Wymore, Ph.D. who is Director of Research, Morgellons Research Foundation and is the Assistant Professor of Pharmacology & Physiology at the Oklahoma State University. They have been studying the fibers, and so far have been unable to match them to over 900 know fibers. They are not a sillica base. They are not organic since they lack a hydroxyl group, which all genetic material has. This is a very real disease! This is NOT someone's idea of a joke. If you would like more information about this very bizarre but real disease, please go to The Morgellons Reasearch Foundation site at <a class="user" href="http://www.morgellons.org">http://www.morgellons.org</a> . It is spreading rapidly, and so far, researchers are at a lose. Please do not ridicule the poor people suffering from this disease. They are not having fun playing tricks. They are in very real pain, and some people have commited suicide to stop the pain. This has prompted the CDC to begin an investigation into it. Go here to read up on it. <a class="user" href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA052206.morgellonsfolo.KENS.12913d3a">http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA052206.morgellonsfolo.KENS.12913d3a</a> (add .html)
From this guy's website:"First I'd like to thank "Mary" at the MORGELLONS RESEARCH FOUNDATION for bringing me to understand what this is about!""In the very beginning of 2005 I was fortunate to comeacross the Morgellons Research Foundation websight. After registering with them and speaking with Mary byphone and e-mail I was convinced to buy a microscopeand a woody's lamp."Brilliant.Why did he not go to a doctor, INSTEAD, and see that he probablyhas sarcoidosis? Oh yeah, I forgot there are already "morgiepeople" that have sarcoidosis, and lupus too, and a whole s**tloadof other real geniune diseases and disorders. They're ignoring it all, and choosing to believe they have Mary Leitao's "invented disease".Why, hell no, that ain't crazy in the least.
PicknShovel, you said, "But I see you couldn't even ask me if I'd been to a doctor before I'd spoken to Mary." But did I "need" to ask you that, though, having kept up with much of what you've said, on line, in the past, as well as here? I saw all the return trip accounts that you shared from what went on at your doctor appointments on LB. What you've said, included that when you'd attempted to show your dermatologist the undeniable fibers with your ultra-violet light, she'd told you that what you were seeing is sun-damage.I'm sorry if I was too personal in using your words to illustrate how followers are instructed to obsess for her. I'm beyond appalled at the continued problems people are having, and all the misleadings, and the feeding of people's fears.I know that what you have needs treated, and I am not saying that "you are"...but imagine if you were "just a hypochondriac" and "needed a disease". Well, "morgellons disease" is just the thing to fit the bill for everyone, the way she's expanded and built upon it over time. Also, if you aren't OCD, nor DOP...people who "are" DOP, already think they have something terribly wrong, so Mary Leitao's made-up "morgellons disease" convinced them that they'd been right all along. It's utter hogwash. Leitao says what sick people want to hear and keeps them fixated on something very wrong. I wish that you, and all the morgies knew what the meaning of truth really is, so you would empower yourselves and break lose from allowing such mind control to dominate you and keep you hanging onto false hope.Eat some food & drink some water and you can be well...Haha, you're hilarious with that conclusion you arrived at. "Been doing that all your life", you'd mentioned on LB, and look at ya. Oh, that is a good one. If you're happy with your disease, and happy with placing your life into someone else's hands, and you don't have any reasons not to be satisfied, that's great. I hope things will never progress for you like they have for so many "reported others" who think they have "such a disease as morgellons." The downward spiral into madness isn't fun to read about, and the loss of everything that once meant so much to morgie people, including their own lives. I wish you one major thing, and that's personal empowerment, and I very much wish you health & happiness.Now, really. If you have a conviction that you have this, and not something that's explainable, it will come out in the longrun, if you are content and able to hang in there. I'm curious...How are my feet in my mouth with me sucking on them? Do you mean because I have a conviction that there's no such thing as "morgellons disease"?
I don't know what you want to call it, but I believe this is true. My brother has had odd sores for years that seem to seep oil that looks and smells like motor oil and he is able to pull out wire like fibers from them. We'd never heard about this disease from anyone else until just recently on the news. But like I said he's had it for years. He's..... 42? I believe and I'm 24. He's had it since.... At least since I was in high school. He seems not to have had an "outbreak" in a while though, thankfully, cause they were painful for him. We thought he was the only one and I was dreadfully scared because I had never heard of anyone else who had had this... but now that I know there are others I hope to be able to learn more about it. But you can choose to believe me or not. But I've seen it with my own eyes. It's true. It's absolutely insane! But it's true.

I don't know what you want to call it, but I believe this is true. My brother has had odd sores for years that seem to seep oil that looks and smells like motor oil and he is able to pull out wire like fibers from them. We'd never heard about this disease from anyone else until just recently on the news. But like I said he's had it for years. He's..... 42? I believe and I'm 24. He's had it since.... At least since I was in high school. He seems not to have had an "outbreak" in a while though, thankfully, cause they were painful for him.

But you can choose to believe me or not. But I've seen it with my own eyes. It's true. It's absolutely insane! But it's true.
