A horrifying and fascinating disease is affecting thousands of people in the Bay Area, along the Gulf Coast, Florida and through out the world. The disease is called Morgellons, and no one knows what causes it or if it’s even a real skin disorder. People with weird symptoms with no alternatives available at the moment; find comfort and a diagnosis on the Internet. After more than a year of pressure from patients convinced they have Morgellons, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will begin investigating the ailment for the first time and determine, once and for all, whether the Morgellons disease exists.
It was named 2002 by Mary Leitao in McMurray, Pa. Leitao named the condition Morgellons Disease, after a disease with similar symptoms mentioned in a 16th-century medical text, while investigating a skin condition on her then two year old son. Nobody had every heard about it before then. Till this day, few doctors have heard of the condition; fewer still know what to make of it. Most in the medical community dismiss it as a hoax, scabies, Lyme disease or a mental condition called Delusional Parasitosis. Delusional Parasitosis is a mistaken belief that one is being infested by parasites such as mites, lice, fleas, spiders, worms, bacteria, or other organisms.
Most victims with this skin disease report painful crawling, stinging, and biting sensations, as well as non-healing skin lesions, which are associated with fiber like or filamentous structures. Victims as well have reported the presence of seed-like granules and black speck-like material above and in their lesions. The reaction of medical professionals has made a difficult situation even harder for victims. Dermatologists claim the filaments are all delusions, although none had taken the time to even study them.
Oklahoma State University Professor Randy Wymore was the first scientist to conduct research on this skin disease. He says it’s the biggest mystery he’s ever been involved in. Wymore says his tests rule out not only textile fibers, but also worms, insects, animal material and even human skin and hair. He says the filaments are not an external contamination. Instead, they are a substance that materializes somehow inside the body, apparent artifacts of something infectious. If no more medical professionals take the time to study this, we may never know the truth as it continues to spread.

An Emerging Tick-Borne Disease Seen in Parts of the United States – What is Anaplasmosis?
As reported in the LaCrosse Tribune.com, health officials in this area of Wisconsin are seeing more cases of an emerging tick-borne disease known as anaplasmosis.
According to researchers, they have seen 50 cases of the disease in humans in the past 3 years. In addition, up to 15% of ticks collected have been found to have the bacterial organism.
The organism that causes this disease is called Anaplasma phagocytophilum. It is an intracellular pathogen that is part of the Rickettsia (the same group of bacteria that cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever amongst other diseases) family.
Formerly known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, and as the former name of the disease implies, it’s an infection of the white blood cells.
People get this infection through the bite of an infected tick. Depending on the part of the United States you are, the tick species is different: the eastern part of the country is the black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis, and in the western part of the country, Ixodes pacificus, is usually involved. These are deer ticks that are also involved in the transmission of Lyme disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 600-800 cases of anaplasmosis are reported to CDC each year. States reporting the highest incidence of anaplasmosis in 2006 were Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
The disease is also seen throughout other parts of North America, Europe and Asia.
After a period of a couple of days to a few weeks, most people infected with Anaplasma show influenza- like symptoms (fever, malaise, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and respiratory symptoms such as a cough). Symptoms tend to be more severe in those that are immunosuppressed and the elderly.
There are specific antibody tests against Anaplasma phagocytophilum that can be used in the diagnosis of anaplasmosis.
The treatment is doxycycline, the same antibiotic used to treat other related organisms.
To prevent an infection of anaplasmosis, take the normal precautions used to prevent any tick- borne disease; the use of DEET on clothing and exposed skin, the use of long sleeved shirts and tucking pants into the socks and avoiding areas where ticks are more likely found like grassy, brushy or wooded areas.

Nanotransformation Case Study: Morgellons Sufferer “A”
Jeff And Jan Smith – Morgellons…See What The CDC Calls Hallucinations !
People who suffer from Morgellons disease are NOT delusional no matter what the CDC or the mainstream press would have you believe. Comments from previous video version: food grade peroxide or food grade Diatomaceous Earth possibly. im thinking maybe this is some people’s reactions to gmo foods. one video i watched showed a parasite. like a larva, maybe a silkworm type. Gooodwitch 2 hours ago She said it breaks into pieces if you introduce hydrogen peroxide. So why cant those with this take food grade and dissolve all the fibers? MayanResearcher 4 hours ago Thank you for uploading this and I have a request if you have any videos of Joel Skousen on the Jeff Rense show could you please post them if you can? Thank you and if you can’t I understand! Take care! o13starsnstripes 4 hours ago It’s a Brave New World: The Hairs thing is simple, IF these things are nano-machines, then the have a purpose. They need to communicate to someone (or something) and so would need “Antennae.” Just a thought. Den DenChaldes 7 hours ago IF…and I mean IF…this is an actual device…can’t help but wonder if this is the ZOMBIE Switch?
