    I can relate to all the frustration... I have been to 10 doctors about a rash that started on my face, made me feel like bugs were crawling. One doctor would send me to another, etc, etc, all of a waste of TIME and MONEY. I am 'sick and tired' of doctors and their mis-diagnoses. If they don't know what something is, they always try to attribute it to stress. What a CROCK!!! I too have been given Xanax and have NO PROBLEM with stress or dealing with things, but yet my doctor seems to be so convinced, someone who doesn't know me personally, and maybe if I am "lucky" might know me for 2 minutes while rushing through an exam and not paying attention to what the patient has to say.... They are too busy trying to ASSUME what the problem is than to find what really is going on, and they they want to send a patient to a "TEACHING HOSPITAL" because "not that they are any better doctors, but they have more time to investigate your situation". Like I said, what a CROCK... I am going to save my money and my time in the future.

      To Ajustme,
      I too have had a rash on my face since 1994...I have seen 4 diff docs, none had a clue about where it's coming from and no one seems to take my observation in to account in trying to find an answer...I have not found anyone who has ever had this spec. condition, ditto for the doctors....Am curious about your's as there are some similarities...the itching...would like to discuss with you

    I'm glad to see more mention of both chemtrails and gmo's. I've had hair analysis done for some clients, and they all have inexplicably high levels of barium and strontium. hmmm.
    As to what to do...energy effects everything. Energy-work to offer some balance for these new elements in our system...worth trying. Reference Bruce Lipton....

    Deport, huh? The US economy would die without the immigrants that are deemed illegal. Who would perform all the jobs that most Americans are too spoiled to do? Wake up and smell the roses, because the US government will never deport illegal immigrants. There is a price to by for taking advantage of their cheap labor, and there is no way the government will cease to turn a blind eye.

    It's funny. Funny that a few years ago that this strange infestation was more or less a joke or misconceptions of a mentally ill individual. Now with more and more people becoming infected it hits mainstream, hmmm. This disease was not born due to our changing enviroment or some other "natural" means, it is a man made pathogen. Some are more susceptible than others for whatever reason. And here is the shocker...it is unknowingly being sprayed on countless people everyday. It is administered through "chem-trail" or chemical trail spraying. "No way" your thinking, as did as well, but look up into the sky. More than likely you will see a jet flying overhead, a common sight. Next time you see a jet watch the trail that it creates. If it disappears fairly quick (30 - 60 seconds roughly) then it is a common airliner of some sort and is a "con-trail" or condensation trail. If it does not disappear and eventually clouds the sky to a haze then it is a "chem-trail". And more times than not there are not one but numerous white and unmarked jets emiiting the spray in paterns. Just keep an eye out, you'll see. You can check it out on you tube as well.....I know it's crazy but so was Morgellons a few years ago.

      You just keep that aluminum foil hat on and you'll be safe.

      • Posted By: oddtech @ 09/16/2008 5:26:23 PM

        Chem trails are not related to morgellons they're the brainchild of someone with a black ops budget and a belief in alien invasion. It is supposed to make the atmosphere into a solar pumped microwave triggered laser. He probably wears a less obvious version of the foil hat for "reasons of national security.

    Dr Meffert how *dare* you have the attitude that this disease does not exist. Are you omniscient? Just because you don't have Morgellons (nor do I) does not mean that it does not exist. Get off your high horse and back to reality. There are new diseases and conditions out there that haven't even been discovered yet. You're they type of doctor I'd fire in a heartbeat. You hold yourself in too high esteem, get over yourself you pragmatic jerk

    Have these fibers been examined under a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM) and assayed by Trace Element Analysis (TEA)? Why not?

  • Posted By: Ladymunchkin @ 09/16/2008 4:54:24 PM

    Another disease that was foreign to this country until the invasion of all the illegal aliens from 3rd world countries. This disease is common in South American countries and has been known about for hundreds of years there. Maybe the CDC needs to send someone south to check it out.

    True that doctors don't take the time with patients in MANY cases and that it is quiet rare to find a doctor that will take the time to actually listen and understand the patient.

    And as to Naidu's comment on Homeopathy, yes. This is rejected by so many, but they don't realize that the natural way is often so much better. Example: My grandma suffered from Arthritis and got to the point where she had to walk around with a cane at her 50's... which is really young for that. The doctor's had said her case wouldn't get better. So, she took Glucosamine for about 2-3 years and she is fine now. She can walk and is a really healthy woman in her 60's. The doctors were proved wrong.
    Some of the best doctors are among the Homeopathic ones. How did people in older times take care of themselves? Through natural procedures, so why can't it be something to accept now?

    Medicine Men do not know all. Check out www.carnicom.com - stop eating processed foods, go as organic as possible yet all chemtrails spray the earth, layer the atmosphere and affect animals & humans alike. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. If you are not being believed, keep trying, keep speaking up, do not give up - there are some of us who do believe & continue to find ways to expose this Big Brother tactic (no, it's not just our government - it is GLOBAL).

    It's a real shame that doctors are like this and can't be more open minded to new diseases appearing. My mother experince the same thing with doctors not listening to her and thinking that she was doing things to herself but with a different disease. The sad thing with her is that she was a certified nurses aid so she worked beside the doctors who told her that she was crazy. It also took her going to a alterative doctor to get a simple blood test done to see what is wrong for someone to believe her.

    Because of her experince I fimly believe that doctors do not know everything like they think they do. If you do not like one doctors opioin, go to another. Keep going until you find one that believes you.

    Many believe this Morgellons disease is caused by Genetically Mutated food crops. This allows them to spray the fields with Round Up but not have any ill effects on humans.

    This article and the information is worth the time to read and has a lot of merit.

    Well,I feel it should be worth looking into for these people that suffer . One thing that should be considered old home remedy: powder of sulfer mixed with olive oil based creme making an ointment. My grandmother used to use that on mine when it flared as a child.That was 30 years ago I still use this preparation when it recurs.I hardlygo to the medical professional except for antibiotics - we must remember non tradional medications have been around for a long time, and some are still better than newer more expensive meds,yet at the same time newer meds are great too,but everything has its place what works for some (majority) may not for others and and 150 years ago practioners of folk remedies were burned as witches; personally I believe all avenues should be exhausted.

    I BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SOME THING NO ONE BELIVES I HAVE. EVERY MORNING FOR THE LAST 5 OR SO YEARS I HAVE TO TAKE A BENADRYL JUST TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY. IF I SWEAT AND GO TO THE STORE OR IN A BUILDING WITH AC. I ITCH ALL OVER. IT IS A PAINFUL ITCH IT FEELS AS THOUGH I AM COVERED IN ANTS, AND THEY ARE BITING ME. I WENT TO A DERMATOLIGEST ONCE SHE DIDN'T TOUCH ME OR EVEN LOOK ANYPLACE ON MY BODY. SHE PERSCIBED LOTION AND A SAV AND SOME THING ELSE IT COST WAY TO MUCH AND NOTHING AT ALL SO TO THIS DAY I JUST LIVE WITH AND HOPE THERE IS NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS TO TAKING BENADRYL EVERYDAY. SOME TIMES DR.'S JUST DON'T WANT TO LISTEN THEY ARE TO BUSY OR THEY THINK WE ARE NUTS.

  • Posted By: tstewart25 @ 09/16/2008 4:42:25 PM

    I read an article and watched a 45 minute video about GM food crops. These crops are genetically engineered to be resistant to Round-up so the fields can be sprayed, but allegedly the foods are safe to eat.

    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/06/26/why-gmos-will-only-make-the-global-food-crisis-worse.aspx

    I can't believe this wasn't even mentioned in this article. If you read the attached it is pretty interesting.

    THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS IS THE PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS DOCTOR THAT IS "CERTAIN" THIS CONDITION DOES NOT EXIST. WHY WOULD SOMEONE POSSIBLY WANT TO LIE ABOUT THIS? I WISH THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE CONVINCED THAT THIS IS FAKE WOULD START GETTING THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS DISEASE AND THEN SEE HOW FUN IT IS TO TRY TO GET HELP WHEN NOBODY BELIEVES YOU. THE PROBLEM WITH THE MEDICAL FIELD IN THIS COUNTRY IS THAT ITS ALL ABOUT THE $$$$$. I DARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT THEY DON???T HAVE A CURE FOR CANCER. THEY HAVE CURES BUT THEY AREN???T GOING TO OFFER THEM BECAUSE THE DRUG COMPANIES AND THE DOCTORS ARE GOING TO LOSE MONEY AND THE EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES THEY LIVE. MOST DOCTORS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PATIENTS OR THEY WOULD RESEARCH INTO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF WAVING IT OFF LIKE THE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY. FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THEIR THAT ARE WILLING TO QUESTION THE INFORMATION THAT IS SPOON-FED TO US AND WHO ARE WILLING TO STAND FOR THE POSSIBILITIES THAT MAYBE WE DON???T HAVE THE ANSWER AND MAYBE THEIR ARE THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT CANT BE EXPLAINED BUT IT DOESN???T MEAN THEY DO NOT EXIST. POWER TO KNOWLEDGE!!!

  • Posted By: Molita @ 09/16/2008 4:37:39 PM

    Knowledge is power. The chemtrails are causing this and all you have to do is look up to the sky. Those are not always "contrails" yet CHEMtrails - barium, aluminum, all sorts of metals. Check out carnicom.com for a real eye opener. Dr. Gwen Scott was interviewed & knows all about the morgellons. This is global & connected to CERN? HAARP? Chemtrails are a cause of global dimming. Who is behind all of this? Not sure yet it is global so there is an elite group (New World Order) that wants to control. Big brother is not only watching they are about to take control globally.

    "Any fibers collected will be analyzed by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology" anyone else see a problem with this. I don't trust the gov't. they care about money. this disease is assumably caused by the armed forces and chem trails. why of all things the armed forces, cover up. open your eyes. do research. *** bush

  • Posted By: blindeyescantspeak @ 09/16/2008 4:33:14 PM

    armed forces getting all the fibers!!!! wonder why ??? Chem trails !!!!!

  • Posted By: kfabulist @ 09/16/2008 4:32:54 PM

    I am sick of doctors who think everything is mental. Doctors are just "practicing" medicine...they don't know everything and any doctor who is concieted enough to make comments like Meffert needs to be censured by his peers. I am glad I don't have to have him treat me.

  • Posted By: The Medicine Man @ 09/16/2008 4:32:54 PM

    Very very strange simptoms, as though it could be related to "Shingles". Possible a combination of a virus and irritated nerve endings caused by a self-inflicted chemical imbalance.
    My suggestion would be a combination of "Essiac Tea", Dandilion root, more water, two plain aspirin twice daily and a diet of more leafy greens.
