Nematod/Pyemotes+Biofilm bacteria/mushroom=PATM &Morgellons?


I think this disease is related to mold; biofilm mushroom with a micro nematode of cotton or a pyemotes acarie mite; the new studies tell us that bacteria produces electricity and communicated between .

"We now know that bacteria can communicate electrically, and we should be concerned.

They are organized. "

I am floored at your comment. I believe I’ve been suffering from morgellons for 5 months. The facial lesions were triggered by chemical and solar burn traumas due to hair bleaching followed by sunburn. A weakened immune system and a load of stress and boom. It began and hasn’t stopped. The only thing that has helped me was colloidal silver w anti-staph/fungus/bacterial properties, ice application, and No sun whatsoever. At the beginning of symptoms (before full blown morgellons was suspected) I saw my acupuncturist for routine therapy w e-stim application. This made my lymph node shrink back to normal and I felt better for a short while but with all the stress and bad lifestyle choices (smoker/unhealthy diet/lack of nutrition etc) it came back. There was one very effective treatment that i was lucky enough to get which allowed the lesions heal and w/o meds was rounds of EPRT by a machine. About every 3 days i cycles the machine through my wrists or ankles. About 4-5 weeks finally my skin began to rejuvenate, no new lesions erupted, I was less fatigued, even my hair was repairing. The therapy stopped about 2 weeks ago and I’m already seeing signs of relapse and since have experienced these “fibers” coming out of my mouth and tongue. I also have a large lump in my throat with surrounding small bubble-like polyps on the sides/middle of the back of my tongue and vocal cords. It is painless but i fear the disease retracted into my mucous membranes  since my epidermis had strengthened. I’m not sure but I know it’s related to what was coming out of my face.
I know these “cells” communicate and move with whatever serous fluid or mucous it is they surround with. I know if it’s oozing it won’t heal. Even if I refuse to drain the pore it will just open more and more. If I can feel the fiber protruding I will pluck it and immediately apply the anti-staph med w a transdermal dressing and leave it there over night. Sometimes it’s gone other times not. But say if I am pulling one out of my face or unconsciously rubbing the skin due to itch I can feel another part of my face begin to tingle and react to the stimulus. I think that’s why some people describe “bugs” under the skin. I am very aware these aren’t mites or parasites, but I do know they communicate, they infiltrate areas and can create ‘webs’ or a fibrous layer together under  the skin. I know they will go wherever they can feel stimulus. The sensation is somewhat like the beginning of a cold sore but without the pain. I also know that once an opening occurs they will convene to it. It’s either that or my body actively pushes them toward it. I can tell my body wanted them out and it’s possible the fluid that seeps w the sores are a bursae? of sorts helping the cells to exit possibly. I have gone to the ER about my throat but was refused proper care due to having poor health insurance and my “story”. I was able to get lab results showing a wbc count of 11.5. So I’m not sure what to do. No doctor will help me especially on state ins. But i can definitely agree with your statement. They DO respond to electricity and can communicate. No doubt.

Right now there is no test for Morgellons disease, nor will one find a physician to look at a person's skin with a microscope—which is an absolute necessity for any patient coming in complaining of itching, biting, stinging, crawling sensations on the skin as well as inexplicable rashes or lesions. Even the rare Doctor who suggests that a person has Morgellons, is at risk for treatment of the condition since it is not recognized as a real illness (yet).

That is why there are so many thousands of people searching for help on the Internet. Unfortunately, you need to self-diagnose at this point in time. If you suspect that you, or someone you know has Morgellons disease, a cheap inexpensive ($12) microscope will reveal if a person has fibers in their skin. The fibers can be under the skin and also emerged.

Keep in mind that there are many people now in the general public that have fibers yet no symptoms of Morgellons. Hopefully they will never be triggered into full expression of the disease.

Some people have found a Lyme literate doctor to treat them, as Morgellons sufferers have been known to have Lyme as well. These doctors will go with antibiotic treatments. There are also those that insist on taking antiparasitic's believing a parasite is at the core of the illness—the jury is still out on that one too.

Then there are those that work naturally with supplements and herbal remedies as well as homeopathy with very good results. We really do not have answers as to the best solution right now. Many of the people that have Morgellons apply a strategic treatment plan that addresses parasites bacteria, fungus and yeasts as well as detoxification from heavy metals and complete overhaul of their diets to eliminate toxic foods such as GMOs, sugar, alcohol, white bread and processed foods.

You can google morgellons disease awareness if you want more information.

A very difficult question. One can only have empathy and hope for more information.But definitely it has some neuro-psychiatric basis atleast in some with these symptoms, but this would amount to generalizing for others.More research is needed for a firmer footing in elucidating the proper approach and treatment.
Best wishes.
