Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don t think anyone can properly answer that question. Other people s situations seem to vary. No one has really studied this far enough to know what is exactly involved. We only know bits and pieces.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Another thing, Lynn, I have never had a fiber come out of my body. Isn't that what morgellons is about? The mites I have seen that are fibered only appear in clothes that have lots of material, and they don't come out of me, they want to come inside. They are groups of mites camouflaging. Once I killed all the fiber ones and put those clothes away, I never saw them again. Now they hide in pieces of tape, vinyl, etc--always material that was already at home to begin with. It never occured to me I had morgellons, just an infestation of birdmites. How do you diagnose morgellons other than by having fibers come out of you?From: "Lynn" <torpedolynn@...>Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 18:35:13 -0000<bird mites >Subject: Re: Can you have 2 types of mites at a time?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 We really don't know you have Morgellons. Not everyone with mites has Morgellons. My husband doesn't have Morgellons, but he had the mites and did end up with Lyme disease too, but no FIBERS. Generally if you have fibers on the body, you have Morgellons. That is the rule from the Morgellons Conference recently. Re: Can you have 2 types of mites at a time? Hi thereYou have more than one type of bug.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi dear LynnI don't think anyone knows for sure what Morgellons is or is not, but when listening to the DVD from the Morgellons Conference one thing became crystal clear to me--if your body has the fibers, you have Morgellons. There are so many disorders with similar profiles and that was talked about a lot at the conference, but again, if no fibers, no Morgellons. It doesn't mean you aren't sick with somehting else tho. The direction Randy Wymore, Ph.D. has taken in research is that he could not culture any of the by-products from Morgellons (fibers, fuzz, specs, or goop from lesions) into bacteria or fungi. He and colleagues have tried hundreds of different culture mediums and nothing out of the ordinary came up. They compared with controls--and all the usual suspects, MRSA, staph, strep to name a few our of hundreds examined - there were no more, no less than controls. Not a single thing popped up that was different than the controlled population cultures. Some fibers on close examination have a metalic coating. Others do not. It doesn't mean that there is not underlying in the body bacterias or parasites playing their part in this. It only means nothing was cultured in the way of by-products from Morgellons patients. But I think it is incorrect to say Morgellons is a bacterium disease at this point. Because to me it is saying this condition is a myriad of things playing together orchestrating this bizarre condition.I know that I tested positive for lots and lots of things when seeing my Lyme literature doctor, Dr. Deborah Metzger, MD, Ph.D. down in Los Altos, California. She is the best in my opinion. I can't think of much we have not done, tested for, treated for, under her care. I would recommend her to anyone with Lyme or Morgellons. I sent her a DVD of the conference as well in the last few weeks. It is good to keep an open minded doctor in the loop. She appreciated it. Casey gave me two copies of the conference DVD, one for Dr. Metzger. Bless her. To me, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but I think Dr. Staninger is probably correct in saying what Morgellons is caused by. She also told me that Lyme is a lab produced biotechnology and I know that to be true. There are other strains of Lyme that are less virulent, but the strain that is affecting everyone in Canada and US and now much of the world came from the government funded Lab on Plumb Island. So it is part Lyme bacterium and part bioengineered who knows what intended originally for war weaponry. Through mismanagement the bacterium escaped the lab and infected surrounding animals, then on to human population. Birds are main carriers. There is a famous book written about Plumb Island by a researcher who took scrupulous notes for 10 years about what was going on. Check it out. One speaker from the conference swore she is getting good results with patients using anti-parasitics. She is an Indian doctor, can't remember her name. It could be that the people who get Morgellons have lots of disease processes going on prior to getting Morgellons and using antiparasitic drugs lightens the immune system load as it kills certain things off. I'm open to understanding all of this and do not have my mind made up about any of it, but I think it is leaning towards Dr. Staninger's assertion that it is man-made. Not any normal bacterium or parasites. Re: Can you have 2 types of mites at a time? Hi I thought Morgellons was a Bacterium dease that weaken us to all the polutants and the fibers I thought were from the heavy metals toxicity you get when having Morgellons and that the heavy metals from the chemtrails if in your area is what made the threads. Also I think I read that the body starts reproducing plant material that comes out in threads. I have all the symptoms of Morgellons. At first I did not believe I hade Morgellons until I read the symptoms list. Change of taste, change in hearing, sensitivity to light. temporary polarisis. (sp) and things going numb. Lost of temperature control. Also hair changing color. My hair before the bugs went from medium brown to very dark dark brown in 5 days time. It was weird to watch. Than it started turning blonde and a couple months later the bugs hit. Than I really went blone quick and I thought it was the products. But now my hair color is slowly comming back. Eyebrows, eyelashes, arms. I do not produce threads at all but really feel I have Morgellons becuase of all the other things that match a Morgellons person. I wonder how I can find out for sure. Most of my smyptoms were happening over a few years before the bugs ever hit.In Light Lynn>> We really don't know you have Morgellons. Not everyone with mites has Morgellons.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 You seem to have alot of the syptoms that people with Morgellons have. If it was just bugs it would different. People with bugs once they get rid of them don't usually have problems again till that bugs season flares up again. People with Morgllons get brain fog, leasons, black specks, white specks, grains of sand, peices of rice type debre from their skin. Some get threads of different colors out of their skin. Well, let me see: (a) Lessions: I don't have lesions. There's only tiny holes barely visible from where the mites entered. I had some visible bites at the very beginning, in my face, but it was hard to tell what they were because I also suffer from acne and it could have been breakouts. ( Brain fog: hmmmm.. I suffer from depression (since I was like 4), and an inability to concentrate is a symptom of depression, but more than brain fog, I have realized that it is anxiety not letting me concentrate, not sure if brain fog would be the actual symptom.. so that's tricky. It would be hard to diagnose morgellons on that alone, since it can come from many other problems. © Black specks: aren't those the mites? I thought they're supposed to be so tiny that they're barely visible. Or do the mites look different than that? I've seen them jump and enter my body, so they're not just liveless specks, they're alive, so I'd say those black specks are just the tiny bird mites. Correct me if I'm wrong please.. I'm not as well informed as you and others here. (d) White specks, grains of sand, pieces of rice, threads of different colors: That I don't know. I thought the mites were white before they had a meal, so if there were ever white specks, wouldn't those be the mites as well? Anyway, I don't remember much seeing white specks, but what I did see were white filaments. Also, when the mites camouflage, they can take different colors, including white, so I couldn't tell. I don't think I've seen grains of sand, or pieces of rice. But some time ago I did see some strange larvaes being thrown out of my pores. They were the white filaments I mentioned above, that usually were thrown into my own skin and then they immediately went into my skin, unless I quickly killed them or shook them off. I remember having huge fights with the mother mites in my head (I figured that's where they were) when they kept throwing larvaes at me and I kept shaking them off , and the more I shook them off, the more they threw. Sometimes it would be hours fighting, it was soo time consuming, exhausting and disheartening. Then if I applied vaseline all over my body, they would switch from those white filaments to black specks, and the black specks had no problem getting through the vaseline and into the skin. So it seemed as if they could just take different shapes while being the same mite, and the shape depended on the obstacles they faced. This really puzzles me, because like I mentioned earlier, I've had different shaped mites, but I never got the impression that they were two different bugs.. it always seemed like it was the same bug just switching to a shape that would allow for reproduction and survival. So now I'm wondering.. how could I know if it's morgellons? By the way, you said that your mom and aunt were bug free with medicines and washings in two weeks. However, those are scabies.. from what I know, bird mites are a lot harder to get rid of. But even so, I haven't done what your mom and aunt did, except for the washings. I have been so broke that I haven't been able to get a full protocol. I just try things I can afford, but I'm not doing everything people here are doing. I live in Manhattan, and I don't own a washer or dryer, which are a luxury here where an apartment goes for 5k or so per month. I live a frugal life and go to the laundromat. Since the economy has hit many businesses, my income got greatly reduced, so I'm unable to afford a lot of things, and the little money I have I spend it in organic food and materials to fight the mites (soaps, detergents, storage , etc..) so my life right now revolves around the mites and trying to kill them. But only after I can get rid of the extra clutter, and I can make some extra money, will I be able to really get into some protocol and get healed. So if you thought I was doing everything and still wasn't cured.. no...I wish!! .. I am working in my environment mostly, following your advice on using Orange Plus + Vinegar, and 's advice of using borax, and they have been great in reducing the amount of mites.. The only things I am able to do for my body is the cheap stuff, like borax, epson salts soaks, avoid my beloved peanut butter, try to keep carbs down even though it's very hard, and use some of the products that you guys have recommended (Dr Bronner's Eucalyptus soap to shower, Denorex therapeutic, sea salt, epson salts, baking soda, etc.. ) and I try to keep my clothes stored with moth balls when not in use and wash them as often as I can. I will soon get rid of some of my wooden furniture, which I can already see the bastards have infested. They are good at camouflaging, so the dark areas of the wood are now quite a LOT darker. But after spraying some borax + water+ soap, and giving it a good wiping, the dark areas began to show holes and canals done by the mites. I'm wondering whether I should get rid of my dresser, which I love, or maybe just borax it to death and then polish it... and paint the insides.. I don't know what to do. I know they get everywhere and I'd have to go into every single crevice of the furniture. Oh well.. what would others do? Throw it out or try to save it ? Well thanks a lot for the info.. BTW, I found a morgellons poll in a website, but I need to run now. I'll post it later. Jess For example. My mom and Aunt had scabies. With medicines and washings in two weeks they were bug free. When the medicines and washings fail to get rid of the bugs than something is wroung and it easily could be Morgellons attracting many bugs. In fact I do not recall reading anyone with Morgellons whom thinks it is only one bug. I had at least three bugs and who knows what kind of parasites. At Lymebusters they show pics of all their differrent bugs. Visual proff that they are inflicted with more than one bug and that the reason its so hard to get rid of them is because we are attracting them. I can find some links on how they think its a bacterium dease. No one knows how one gets the dease, but mold exposure is a big suspect. I had lots of mold exposure over so many years and slowly came down with the dease before the bugs. I tryed to help a homeless man whom was working in a moldy home. A remodle. He ripped up the carpet and got covered with bugs. So bugs would be a suspect also. He came down with this fairly quick. Seems one has to have a compromised emmune system to get it. The emmune system can trick you too. You may think you are healthy when really you are not. If you have money you can get tested, but I would have to find the links for your area. Alot of us are left having to self diagnosis. Lack of money and medical support. I think a small group of us may agree you seem to be a canidit for having this dease called Morgellons. Sorry my spelling is so bad. Hang in there sorry its so confusing and scary. Oh how I remember those days and so glad to be nearly out of this nightmare. There is a small number of those here who are no longer inflicted and could give you good advice on what to try out. Try to help you out of this mess. In Light Lynn p.s. Alot of us have different and same symptoms. I never had big leasons. I never had colored thread comming out of my skin. Before the bugs I was exhausted all the time with intestinal problems. Which slowly became serious. Also I had times whare I felt like I had a mini stroke. Each time checked out okay with the Dr.s and testings. Fingers would go numb really easily doing ordinary things. Like brushing my teeth. Also body tempature out of control. One foot cold while the other foot normal and it would change off for no reason. Than I had my heart race for no reason at all. All that time I became more forgetful and off balance. Never dizzy, but my aim would be off. I use to be able to hit a target with one hand using a shot gun. Now I can not hit a target to often using both hands and taking careful aim. So it takes away some cordination on alot of us I think. I would see shadows move and have to look quick to see whom was there. Of course no one was there.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Only you can tell if you have Morgellons. Here are some more symptoms. I don't have any fibers either.http://www.rense.com/general74/morg4.htmFrom: "helpnynow@..." <helpnynow@...>Bird Mites Newsgroup <bird mites >Sent: Tue, May 11, 2010 3:17:09 PMSubject: Re: Re: Can you have 2 types of mites at a time? Another thing, Lynn, I have never had a fiber come out of my body. Isn't that what morgellons is about? The mites I have seen that are fibered only appear in clothes that have lots of material, and they don't come out of me, they want to come inside. They are groups of mites camouflaging. Once I killed all the fiber ones and put those clothes away, I never saw them again. Now they hide in pieces of tape, vinyl, etc--always material that was already at home to begin with. It never occured to me I had morgellons, just an infestation of birdmites. How do you diagnose morgellons other than by having fibers come out of you?From: "Lynn" <torpedolynn> Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 18:35:13 -0000<bird mites>Subject: Re: Can you have 2 types of mites at a time? Hi there You have more than one type of bug. Anyone whom is ill with Morgellons will have parasites and bugs. More of each. Some have more types of bugs than others. I never see any of my bugs except once months ago which was the whispy crawlers. Some have bugs fly up out of their skin. What ever types of bugs and parasites that live in your area and are attracted to molds and fungases and bacteria infested body than they will come live on you. So you probably easily have 3 to 8 different types of bugs and parasites. Some of the bugs may find you a nesting ground but go after your food. Others just nest on you because you are the food. In Light Lynn > > Hello all, I noticed that when I first got infested, the "mite" I had looked like a small spider. It was not as tiny as it's supposed to be according to all accounts of bird mites, and I didn't need a microscope to see it, although it was small enough that I needed magnification to take a picture, and even then, it was too small to show any details. > > I eradicated that mite with boric acid, but then it was replaced by a super-tiny mite (the black speck mite) which is the right size and seems to work in groups of several mites. Like I mentioned before, the mites are able to camouflage in the form of stains, mold, and even small things. After spraying borax on all those things, all I see is a congregation of some 50 black specks working in teams to get the job done. > > The similarities between both mites is that both burrow in the skin, both burrow into wood, and both are quick to reproduce and infest a place. > > If anyone asked me, I could say is the same mite under a different body/form/shape, but the behavior is pretty much the same. > > I'm puzzled as to what happened here. When I started seeing the "fiber" mites (same behavior too) it was nothing more than the black specks camouflaging in groups, and the weird thing is that they'd give the fiber the exact same shape of the previous mite: a mini-spider made of fiber. Some fibers had no shape at all, but others looked exactly like a spider from far away, and once you got close, all you could see is the fiber. > > One last thing is that when these black specks camouflage, they always do it in the same shape: 2 horns, like the pic I posted of a mite burrowed on my floor. > > I was wondering if others with experience know what could have happened here?
