Re: tell me if you think this is possible or if you have any more information?

Wow... good writing kajay. Real real interesting. You have really done a lot. I'd say almost anything is possible at this point, but good theory and sure is something that should be considered. The thing that speaks to me most since I've had quite a bit of microscope time, but less time than you, are those blobs that look to me like algae. I have lots of pictures of those and they vary in color from beige as you said, to a darker brown and almost a sagey green. Plant or animal, who knows. But it could be a food crop as you say for the fibers. Interestingly I've never gotten the large lesions (tyg) so maybe my body is still making all the necessary crops for the critters?????

Just out of curiosity, do you still have things in your house that seem to bite? During the summer I was getting some of that at the computer here. Not getting anything presently.

I do have those red dots in many places on my body and in groups. My underarms, chest mainly. I remember my MD and the derm that first saw me pointed those out... I don't know if they knew something I didn't at the time. I have had larger of the red dots in places on my skin, but not the tiny ones aligned in groups.

What a lot of work this process involves, but the research individuals like yourself are doing does benefit all of us. Thank you!

Did you ever try any of Dr. Staninger's recommended products? I know they have helped me. Especially the Happy Tummy--helps so much with detox. Maybe helps to get rid of the toxic elements that seem to contribute to this illness. The FAR helps you bring the body to a higher internal temperature perhaps to fight off various viruses, bacterias and fungi. I still think she is on the right track, but I couldn't afford to see her or do her whole process like Zoe and husband did.

tell me if you think this is possible or if you have any more information?

I want to contribute a pretty wild theory to the hopper - there is so much we don't know, I will just tell you what happened and see what you think:

After years of combing (lice style) every night and morning after treating my hair with TweetMint, a protease. "Prote-" for "protein" and "-ase," which identifies the word as the name of an enzyme. Enzymes are solvents. That is, they dissolve things. So a "prote-ase" dissolves protein. Protein is meaty, fleshy. But while the Tweetmint would stop the action of the critters I have, they would NOT kill them.

The only things that I had found that would kill them up till then were submersion in water for 24 hours, preferably with some substance that would reduce the likelihood of their escape, followed by 4 hours of intense heat in my clothes dryer, a heat I am unable to apply for more than a moment to my skin.

I tried to think what the critters could be made of. Especially, what could the beveled feeding tube / snorkel / hypodermic needle be made of? Often the samples treated repeatedly with TweetMint would look like they had been burned to a crisp. But they would still bite me, and that stylus would be like new - unaffected by any chemical I threw at it, even the TweetMint. It occurred to me that the horny exterior, which produces that grainy feel when the critters emerge from my skin, was not unlike seashells. I looked up seashells at wikipedia to see what they were made of.

Chitin.

I started looking for something that would break down the exoskeleton of my critters - that is, a "chitinase." Willow corrected my punctuation of the word "chitin" and said she used a garden soil treatment that claimed to be a chitinase. She worked with the man who made and sold the product and he loaned her the smallest unit he had for making the product, which has to be used within 3 days of "cooking" it. If I remember right, Willow had some success with the results (am I remembering right, Willow?). He soon developed a prototype for a smaller, personal size unit. It is still very clunky and set each of us back about $200, I think. The raw materials are pricey too, and we each got the minimum, a 6-pack. The device was very difficult to set up and use but I did it, and the first time I did it, I poured the resulting mixture, which was dark brown and looked like it was full of dirt, through a filter and into a gallon jug. The unit will make a gallon and a half at a time after "cooking" the materials for 24 hours.

Before I go any farther, have any of you ever noticed the diamond grid pattern of healthy skin? When I got my first microscope, in the late 90's, my skin was all skin color. By the time I got this prototype, I had developed a tiny red dot at every corner of every diamond. Odd, right? Hold that thought.

Meanwhile I had begun seeking other chitinases as well. I found two substances that would dissolve my fiber critters: Simple Green and Orange Plus. The Garden Tea made three!

I got in the shower and bathed as usual, then rinsed really well to remove the detergents from my skin as much as possible. I knew the Garden Tea would be vulnerable to contamination and might not work, because I had to use distilled water to "cook" it. I took about a pint of the "Tea" into the shower with me. I turned the water down to a drizzle, just enough to keep the shower stall warm, and I poured the mixture through a developer bottle (with a pointed dispenser cap) all over me and waited. Or, should I say, I leaned against the wall of the shower stall and fell asleep. I awoke 20 minutes later - exactly the time we had somehow determined we needed to leave it on our skin.

I looked down to see what, if anything had happened, not really expecting anything. But all over my skin were these thin gelatinous flakes. They were about 1/32" thick and about 1/8" long and wide. They were not exactly square. And they were sort of floppy flexible. They were not rigid at all. And they were inert. They were NOT biting me. I washed them off and got out of the shower. I cannot remember if I saved samples. I could see them, and had seen one of them before. I had removed it from my skin - I forget now where. I had photographed it. It was rectangular, more so than these things that came out of me in the shower. It was also a little larger/longer. It was about the same thickness, about like cardstock. It looked like it was doing stomach crunches on the lint roller sheet where I had it trapped. It too was that beigey translucent material that any of you with much scope time would recognize as organic and alive, whether animal or vegetable, I don't know. Embedded in the gelatin were tiny black curly-cues. It also had two round bumps on one side, near one end. I have no idea what they were. I still have no idea what that was. I'm going to tell you the rest and let you think about it, then I will pose a theory for you to consider.

The rest is that the next time I happened to look at my skin through a scope, I can't remember why I did it, but I was startled to realize that there were a lot less of the red dots. My skin looked more normal than it had in a long time.

Here are some thoughts:

ceiling tiles.

the grid they sit in.

gelatinous organic material

live? or not? don't know

same size as the diamonds on my skin

red dots significantly fewer after this

bee hives

honeycombs

honey

Here is the next concept in this story:

The day after these things emerged from my skin in the shower, I started getting lesions. Some of them began as bites just under the skin, causing a purpura? (hematoma, sort of) which is what we call a lesion. Some of them were irregularly patterned troughs whose width was the same from start to winding finish. They looked like a cutworm had gone to work on me rather than a plant in my garden. And then the bleeding would be on the surface as well as under the skin.

I occasionally had fallout lesions, but I had never had lesions like this. This was new for me. And I still have them, which is why I am using the olive leaf, which helps the surface ones for me but so far not the ones under the skin.

What if...

What if the gelatinous squares came through my skin because they were RELEASED by the chitinase? Suppose the chitinase dissolved something that was holding them in place? What if the red dots were the points at which a grid attached to the underside of my skin, and what if the grid was there to hold the gelatinous shapes in place? What if they were food? Crops? Created by, planted by - whatever - somehow made by the critters as a food source? And when it was gone, they had to start getting their food the old fashioned way - hunting rather than farming.

What do people do when they first settle in a new land?

They plant food.

Thank you, ,

I would get bitten in a completely sterile environment because till I am rid of these, I will be shedding, so yes, I do get bitten, but usually it is on my bare arms with short sleeved shirts, my back while I am combing, and my shoes before Bill told me about the Windex spray (when I remove them) and baking soda (when I put them back on). I still get a couple of tiny incidents a day in my shoes.

I threw all my energy at my environment the first few years, and nothing, even the sterile everything thing, helped. It was about the same time I realized I am the vector. I quit knocking myself out and going broke on stuff to do that with, identified the things I needed to do (and what I did not) for my environment, and have of course adjusted over time. And I finally accepted that until I learn how to get rid of them in me, I am wasting my limited resources fighting the other battles.

When I figure this out, I will know how not to be re-infected, and how to fight a new infection. I will clean my house more thoroughly than I ever have, even with this, attic and yard included.

Then I will implement my new maintenance plan.

Thanks for your note. The things I see range in color from beigey to almost black. The almost black ones are full of my blood, exposed to oxygen, I think.

I have read Dr. Staninger's protocol and agree about detox. In fact I started a mild whole-body detox last night. Can't remember the name of it. It's really green tasting! I bought a high quality pro-biotic to start taking tonight.
