    They call it "Medical Practice" for a reason. I agree. Doctors are so quick to judge and diagnose someone with depression because they don't want to spend the time or effort to find the real problem. Why waste time finding the reason for the symptoms when they can tell you that you need an anti- depressant for the reat of your life and get the money from that? I hate the feeling you get when you are completely miserable and physically so sick that you can not even function and are told that there is nothing worng with you exceot for the fact that you are paranoid, hypochodriac, or depressed/ stressed. We become that way after the medical "professionals" tell us this and send us home with the same symptoms we went to the ER for in the first place. I pray that this study shows doctors and all medical professionals to not be so quick to judge. And maybe, just maybe, a few will find their compassion again.

    What a horrible position to be put in and not knowing or ttrying to guess what could be going on with your skin. I couldn't imagine not being able to hug and kiss my child/children for fear that I might pass it on to them or even going out for the same fear or that something that I could touch could make it worst. I would only pray that with all of these new technologies that they would soon find a cure for this. I am very alarmed that most doctors dismiss the disorder as the patient is dilutional and do nothing but turn them away instead of doing a study of the person's DNA for at least an attempt of resolving the situation. Because I soley believe that if your put of the solution you are deemed as part of cause, plus as one our Medical Field's Physicians I'd hope that you'd (doctors in general) would jump at the chance of finding the cure, through research. Even if you didn't find a cure, at least you tried. Good Luck to all who feel that are suffering from this disorder. The worst thing is not knowing how it started in the first and then going from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital and still not answers or relieve, yet it still contiues to get worst..........

    Wow thats very interesting. I would like to hear more about this topic. I really hope they find something out. It really is difficult going doctor to doctor only to have them push you away. Its nice that something is finally being done. Even if they are funding something like this, its not like they are not trying to cure cancer anymore. That just is not news to us anymore.

    Most of us think if won't happen to us.
    I think my mom might have this.
    She has open sores all over her body.
    They keep reopening.
    She has been tested for everything from aids to whatever and everything comes up negative.
    She takes alot of prescriptions what this that and the other thing.
    She picks at these things, obsesses over them, looks at them under a microscope and .. red, blue fibers....
    It is probably the most humiliating and embarassing thing for not only her but me as her child.
    She does not go outdoors......
    I MADE her go to the dermatologist and he gave her a steroid and antibiotic cream.
    This seems to be working as of the last few days. I have to CAKE it all over her body.

    Additionally, my father lived with her for several years and was not infected.. (not sure on contageousness)

      My daughter suffered the same symptoms as your mom. Unfortunately I believe they were caused by a heroin and possibly crack cocaine addiction. She is now recovering. The symptoms are gone. The scars will be there to remind her.

    The good Dr. Meffert sounds like quite the compassionate human being. I'm just rushing to the phone to schedule an appointment with him.

    Back in the 1990's, Fibromyalgia was seen as a mental condition where patients "imagined" they had unexplainable arthritic pain. Now about 10 years later, Fibromyalgia is recognized as an actual illness. Give Morgellons about 10 years and it too will be listed as an actual condition.

    We scientists need to remember that we haven't discovered and explained everything on this earth yet.

    I loved the comment from the doctor who was opposed to research of this disease, ""People with delusional parasitosis are very functional and rational except when it comes to this one issue," he says. It seems if they are rational and very functional with every other aspect of their lives, then maybe this one thing should be taken seriously, or at least considered.

    Jeffrey Meffert -
    Thank you so much for sharing your opinion. Since there are literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of doctors, patients and ailments around the world, can you at least fathom that you may not always have the last word on a medical mystery? Now that you've "answered" this question please get busy fixing cancer, autism, heart disease, etc.

    So, Dr. Meffert...when the CDC decides Morgellons is a real disease will you give up your license and quit your practice. What about all the diseases no onw believed in 30 years ago. AIDS, HIV, Chronic Fatigue, and loads of others? The title of God has already been filled. Try remembering who you are, where you come from and who your serving. People like you give Doctors a bad name.

    I read from a medical doctor that these 'fibers' are the result of the food that has either been processed, or genetically modified.

    I have spent the last 8 yrs researching, visiting doctors and trying other people's "miracle cures" to hopefully heal itchy skin conditions in one of my daughters and myself - the feeling of "little critters" crawling under my skin is enough to drive me insane sometimes.

    I have read the books of Dr. Batmangheldji and recently heard another doctor singing his praises and would love to share a website with everyone for your own health's sake. I have personally had some very wonderful results implementing his water recipe into my life - no doctor visits, just water & sea salt. Get the body absorbing water at the cellular level - get the body alkaline - it has been scientifically proven that disease cannot thrive in an alkaline body. We are talking any disease! This little treatment is safe for everyone and won't dry up your bank account. Keep your dignity - and your sanity. Leave the unbelieving doctors who sit on their "pharmaceutical sponsored training" to stare at you in disbelief.

    We did not come into this world with a user's manual, but it isn't rocket science - water & salt are naturally available the world over (or could be in countries that mankind has disregarded) and the body of many animals require air, water & salt to survive. Makes sense I think to start one's health management off by making sure the body receives (at the cellular level) the very basics of survival.

    Sharing little known secrets such as this is what will bring the world health crisis back under control, so check it out for yourself & your loved ones and please gift the information forward. ; )

    This will probably be the result of long term exposure to flame retardant and synthetic fabrics which are un-natural to the human body. The chemicals from exposure are showing up in breast milk and are absorbed through the skin. This may be the way of working foreign and non-natural objects and fibers our of the body and these "objects" maybe transferred to unborn children causing ongoing health issues during development as well.
    I will be curious to find the results of the study.

    While researching which sunblock to use I recently read a report on a website from "friends of the earth" about nano-technology. It appears to be used in many skin products including sunblock, soaps and make-up. It's not listed on labels. The report stated that countries around the world are investigating the safety of such technology. I know I was alarmed by what I read and can only imagine what skin problems may be linked to this technology. Who knows if it's linked to this apparent increase in skin disorders.

    I am at a lost to think many doctors would close there doors (minds)when a opertunity comes knocking. To take seriously a reported NEW finding from the community, think would be in the best interest of any doctor. Then again there are those doctors that are "IN"only there to spend their time,before going out golfing. Good to know the CDC is taking a look into this matter.

    When all else fails, try falun dafa meditation. It gradually harmonizes your energy. Both your body and mind rest on an ocean of nested electro-magnetic fields. Science knows this, but it doesn't care much for energy solutions because they can't bottle and sell them easily.

    So now I am wondering if only the symptoms are gone and there is this funk inside waiting to come out or who knows? I hope they get to the bottom of this madding medical mystery!

    Has anyone read the diary of the guy who has litterally been living in plastic with the disease?
    He said boiling clothes and baking them for six hours doesn't do much to kill them. He has a microscope and checks all new clothing and discovered his new underwear had the it on them. He thinks they might be an egineered nematoad that has gotten into the cotton crops in China? An area in China has also been infected with similar symptoms, I read.
