Saturday Quack – Morgellons Disease Believers
Sat, August 26, 2006 at 04:29AM Most doctors don’t believe that Morgellons disease is a real disease at all. However, the Morgellons Research Foundation has registered almost 5,500 households with the affected patients. The main symptoms are crawling, stinging, and biting sensations, together with non-healing skin lesions, which are associated with fiber-like extrusions from the wounds. Nearly all patients report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short-term memory. Depression and bipolar disorder are extremely common, affecting well over half of all patients with Morgellons.
The name comes from a condition involving "black hairs" emerging from the skin of children which was documented in France in the 1600's. It’s doubtful that the 17th century disease has anything to do with modern-day Morgellons, however.
Doctors hardly ever diagnose Morgellons. Sufferers often present initially with a self-diagnosis, and then continue to self-diagnose after conventional treatments for the medical diagnosis (e.g. scabies, neurodermatitis, folliculitis) are not working, or after they refuse to accept a conventional diagnosis. At this point the patient is sometimes diagnosed with ‘delusional parasitosis’.
Anyway, there has been sufficient noise raised recently about Morgellons disease and the failure of doctors to take it seriously that the Centers for Disease Control have been persuaded to establish a task force to look into its status as a real disease. I shan’t hold my breath.
For those of you who have a bent towards conspiracy theories, consider this one: Morgellons and the recently proliferating websites surrounding it are just a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming movie – “A Scanner Darkly”.

Seems to be the new 'catchword' to enable lawsuits and power.
Again-try to not eat anything, touch any Earth, or to breathe too much.
Many lawyers will gain immortality, and Judges too, in Hell.
CDC: an organization where the least Godly gain pensions and security so that Disney can bring fame and longstanding to nanoterror. Yes...a company called HIV, now listed as CBMC.
Or the part wherein I declared that this one's a little more sinister...a self replicating web of surveillance. Yes, they see what you see, feel what you feel, hear what you hear, discern what you intend. And then punish or reward you as the device was programmed to do. Dream seeding, the whole nine yards.
Hey boys leave my posts alone, because they are not my posts.
I hope you like itty bitty pigs in a blanket, 'cause that's what you're gonna get! Consider the planning behind 'global warming', now 'climate change'. It was specifically designed to neuter God, acts of God, and to place all catastrophes which did not emerge from man's use of the perfect laboratory conditions of the vacuum of space into the realm of 'manmade climate change'. IT IS MAN MADE-but gee, lots of folk need jobs telling you what to die of. There's going to be a huge ass tea party, and the whore chasers comprising government will suffer as they have made us to suffer, pardon my prophecy!
So you put those panties right back on, after the party, ladies. Who knows what new nanoterror devices are crawling around on the ground? They won't be dispensing these horrors using microsyringes forever. Sooner or later they will engineer actual insects to accomplish their means. I think sooner, as in the past tense.
It's HARD using bedroom terror tactics. Mindcontrol is so much easier.
Fight them till they kill you.
