***************MORGELLONS******************
I keep hearing rumors about this dreaded disease, It seems to be characterized by a creepy crawly feeling, "as if something is beneath the skin like a parasite" People say the creepy crawly beneath the skin is fibers or bundles of fibers, some which appear to be fibers from rugs or clothing, but others insist that under microscopic examination the fibers are gelatinous even possibly growing and multiplying. Some have said that it is caused by eating genetically modified corn, some say the cause is completely unknown, Still others insist it is an hysterical condition, the fibers being inserted in the skin while scratching from a psychological aberration that the sufferer has.
Another item to this mix is that that no less an institution of reliability- the CDC, you remember the center of disease control, yeah those folks,are beginning to investigate veracity of the claims of at least 150 people in San Francisco who claim to have this disease. One woman in this group claims to have something like tiny green shrimp coming out of her face. Is it any wonder that people who are dignified and wear extra letters after their August names see the people who claim to have this disease as macadamias, or at the very best- filberts.

I will present what I have found and you can decide for yourself.

I want to add one other factor before we go into details, I just want to give you a list here: Candidiasis, Fibromyalgia, CFS, MCS, Agent Orange disease, and Desert Storm disease. What do these have in common, they also were not recognized as diseases for a very long time by the A.M.A. This by no means is an exclusive list, it is merely the tip of the iceberg.

First I want to present the evidence a given in Wikipedia. They quote the CDC as saying, "that it is not known at present whether the condition represents a new disease entity, or whether persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious." The CDC is still on-the-fence as their investigation is not complete, Wiki also presents, "According to an article written by the Mayo Clinic staff, health professionals are divided in their attitudes about Morgellons: some believe it is a specific condition and expect it to be confirmed by research in the future; some believe it is not a separate condition, rather its symptoms result from other conditions, often psychological; and some do not acknowledge Morgellons disease at all or reserve judgment until more is known about the condition."

Gee, it still sounds like what the medicos were saying for years about Fibromyalgia, and since the Army doesn't want to pay out the suits concerning Desert Storm disease, they are still saying; that these conditions do not exist except in the minds of the sufferers. However, she hastens to add, this is not empirical evidence that it and Morgellons.

Also presented for your perusal and consideration is this site, which features photos of the 'fibers' that seem to inhabit the epidermis of the affected victims. I can in no way verify the origin of these photos, whose skin they were take from or exactly what we are seeing, WARNING: these are very graphic photos.

On the CBS news [wow all the most prestigious sources have a three letter designation, just as the researchers and members of the A.M.A. have the 'piled higher and deeper' after their names] it was said, "
There may be a dramatic new breakthrough for hundreds of Texans who suffer from a mysterious disease. CBS 11 News was the only station at a medical conference that uncovered new research in the fight to prove Morgellons Disease is real.

In 2007, Dr. Stricker and experts in agrobacterium studied skin samples from seven Morgellons patients and found the DNA from the bacteria in all seven samples. Now the question is, how are people getting the bacteria in their bodies.

Firstly, this is not new, it’s over a year old. These findings were reported in January, 2007 - over a year ago.

Secondly, and more importantly, there is a very easy explanation as to how the bacteria got in their bodies: catheters.

So, here it is friends and neighbors all the unbiased information at your fingertips. Remember not one bit of this is very helpful to the many, many people who claim they are suffering terribly from this or some other condition that feels like this.

As for me, I'm still working to get well, I'm staying in the arena of alternative medicine because I believe in it, and because I've never had any help from Allopathic medicine, I've been overdosed at a Young age with antibiotics, had drunk doctors operating on me, had a stroke at age 20 from the 'safe' birth control pills and woke up during surgery, every single prescribed drug I was given has caused terrible reactions... So it's no wonder I feel this way, if you've had wonderful doctors I'm glad for you, I hear it's not exactly common, but I'm glad for you.

THE MEANING OF LIFE
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's Owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, Were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family. We couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life ---like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

God and the Scientist
God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him,
"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning."
"Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God.
"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man."
"Well, that's very interesting...show Me."
So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man.
"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Make your own dirt."

Accident
There was an engineer, manager and programmer driving down a steep mountain road.
The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control.
Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff.
They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed.
The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution."
The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it."
The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again."

What Kind of Tracks
Two boys go out on a walk. One looks down and said, "look at those, those are deer tracks my dad told me about them."
The second boy says no those are elk tracks, my dad told me about them. Then the first boy says, "No those are deer tracks."
The second boy says, "NO those are elk tracks."
One hour later they were run over by a train.

Painting a Porch
Wanting to earn some money, Cletus decided to hire himself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. He went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
Cletus said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "He should. He was standing on the porch."
A short time later, Cletus came to the door to collect his money. "You're finished already?" the man asked.
"Yes," Cletus answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," Cletus added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

Dog Watch
Guest: "Why does your dog sit there and watch me eat?"
Hotel Host: "I can't imagine, unless it's because you have the plate he usually eats from."

Biting Nails
Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over tea.
"I do wish that my Elmer would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous."
"My Billy used to do the same thing," the older woman replied. "But I broke him of the habit."
"How?"
"I hid his teeth."

Best Patients
Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would."
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable."

Driving Test
Two truck driving brothers are taking a driving test, and the instructor asks, "You're driving the truck and you're at the top of a mountain and your brakes go out. You notice an accident at the bottom of the mountain, what do you do?"
The trucker replies, "The first thing I do is wake up my brother."
"What good is that going to do?" the instructor asks.
The trucker replies replies, "In all of the years we've been driving he ain't never seen an accident like the one we're about to get in to."

Life
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!"

May you be blessed with abundant good health but failing that may you have only diseases approved by the A.M.A. so you can actually get some help
