I had sent Dr. Thrasher (the mold doc) pics of my chip and the link to your pics of your chip. Here's what he had to say about yours (thought you'd wanna know)... The URL you sent me had crystal structure that was almost identical to the cysteine crystal. The person that posted the photos of the crystals might have a condition called cystinosis. This is a metabolic disease in which cysteine (an amino acid) increases in concentrations and forms crystals in various organs and the urine. Anyway, just wanted to pass that on to you! love ya ~~ bannanny

Banny, could you leave us the pics/video of what you sent him? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystinosis"Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine. It is a genetic disorder that typically follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Cystinosis is the most common cause of Fanconi syndrome in the pediatric age group. Fanconi syndrome occurs when the function of cells in renal tubules are impaired, leading to abnormal amounts of carbohydrates and amino acids in the urine, excessive urination, and low blood levels of potassium and phosphates." I don't know... is he talking about these 'crystals' that come out from under our skin? Or is he talking about 'crystals' that were seen in Chaos' urine sample?

Kam..I think he's talking about those crystals in urine..Fanconi syndrome is a hereditary (in most cases) dysfunction of the urinal tract..here..kidney tubules.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanconi_syndromeOther recognised causes of Fanconi's syndrome are Wilson's disease (a genetically inherited condition of copper metabolism)..hmmm..this is interesting, because it fits into my theory about the mineral imbalance we all might have. I have done some research on this while back. My theory is, that we have an overload on copper which interferes with the metabolism of iron and zinc. I believe we also have an overload on iron, due to iron in our water and our food. Too much iron in the other hand causes a so called 'Fenton's reaction' which itself causes the production of free radicals and cell death. A natural antagonist to iron and copper is zinc. That's the reason why high doses of zinc is beneficial in not only strengthening our immune system but to also 'create' a proper mineral balance we all need. Jeany

Sis is real sick right now, I will call her tomarrow and tell here, Very ,very, interesting, I have said that this Morgellons results in a lysosomnal storage disease , also a few of the N.I.H. rare disease pages had a morgellons paragraph on them the the lysosomal storage disease page was one of them ..Cystenosis is related to this . It can be aquired , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanconi_syndromecut, There are different diseases underlying Fanconi syndrome. They can be inherited/congenital as well as acquired. [edit] Inherited Cystinosis is the most common cause of Fanconi syndrome in children. Other recognised causes of Fanconi's syndrome are Wilson's disease (a genetically inherited condition of copper metabolism), Lowe Syndrome, Tyrosinemia (Type I), galactosemia, glycogen storage diseases, and fructose intolerance. Two forms, Dent's disease and Lowe syndrome, are X linked.[2] [edit] Acquired It is possible to acquire this disease later on in life. Causes include ingesting expired tetracyclines, and as a side effect of tenofovir in cases of preexisting renal impairment.[3][4] Lead poisoning also leads to Fanconi Syndrome. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance can also cause the condition.[5] Karen has complained that fruit makes her sick , she can only eat crackers right now but she takes tetracyclines a lot. Also my mom went in the hospital tonight, Kidneys hmmmmm? Fanconi syndrome link was embedded here, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystinosis

wow!!!! nanny, you just might be saving her life, she has been telling me the itching is intolerable to the point of well Have you ever itched to that point , I know I have. Read this, Answer Causes of itching or pruritis can have many causes: liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disease, anemia, internal malignancy, medications, infecsions,stress.Alcohol abuse. Thus, the first thing to do is to go to your doctor and get blood work and a chest Xray to make sure you do not have a systemic cause of your itching. Sometimes itching can be caused by a mite called Scabies which topical medication cures this problem. If no systemic problems exist then you can try antihistamines. If this does not work then you can try phototherapy at a tanning salon. • Kidney Disease, Hypertension, and Hyperthyroidism - Diseases that Target Older Cats • Kidney Disease - Understanding Kidney Disease • Fanconi syndrome • Acute kidney failure • Allergies - Itchy Skin - Pruritus - Itching All Over www.wellness.com/reference/conditions/kidney-electrolyte-disorders/symptoms-and-causesAlso I have the eyes of Wilsons disease.

Related to an abnormal protein in the blood, well hmmmm. again.myeloma.org/main.jsp?type=article&id=879I bet these amino acids are used in the production of Conductive Polymers in the cells , probably Pedot .this is pedot, synchemist.blogspot.com/2009/10/pedot-helps-artificial-limbs-to-feel.htmlYep Yep, A New Approach to Eye Surgery Using Femtosecond Lasers Femtosecond (fsec) laser technology offers the potential to totally or partially remove crystalline lens without any thermal or mechanical collateral damage to the eyes, combined with easy delivery of fsec laser pulse to different sections of eye via flexible optical fibers. This procedure will find applications in eye surgeries such as non-invasive, partial or total cataract removal and optically reshaping the crystalline lens for correction of refractive errors. After the laser surgery, an artificial substitute will fill the capsule as a prosthetic lens. Our task is to formulate a stable, optically clear, poly(ethylene glycol)-based (PEG) hydrogel to act as this kind of prosthetic lens, which has a Young’s modulus similar to the human lens (several kPa) and also the same refractive index as natural lens (n»1.42). Currently, we are employing the condensation polymerization technique via Michael-type addition reaction between acrylate (or acrylamide) terminated PEG and di- or polyfunctional thiols (or cysteine oligomers or peptides having two or more cysteine residues) to make this hydrogel. Those precursors (multi-acrylates and multi-thiols) can be pre-mixed to form a low-viscosity fluid and then injected through the surgical aperture (200mm) created for lens removal and then cross-linked in-situ. This type of addition reaction has many advantages over photopolymerization of PEG-acrylates, which requires the introduction of photoinitiators and delivery of strong UV light to the eye: 1) mild character and high yield in physiological conditions, 2) fewer side reactions, 3) no toxic by-products, 4) negligible leaching when cross-linkable materials are produced, 5) gels within a surgically relevant time scale (5 to 10 minutes).

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19226515The ability to develop a rational basis for the binding of inorganic materials to specific binding sites within self-assembling biological scaffolds has important applications in nanobiotechnology. Amyloid-forming peptides are a class of such scaffolds and show enormous potential as templates for the fabrication of low resistance, conducting nanowires. Here we report the use of a self-assembling peptide building block as scaffold for the systematic introduction of metal-binding residues at specific locations within the structure. The octapeptide NSGAITIG (Asparagine-Serine-Glycine-Alanine-Isoleucine-Threonine-Isoleucine-Glycine) from the fiber protein of adenovirus has been identified in previous structural studies as an elementary fibril-forming building block. Using this building block as a scaffold, we have designed three new cysteine-containing octa-peptides to study their eventual fibril-forming ability and potential templating of metal nanoparticles. We find that the cysteine substitutions do not alter the fibril-forming potential of the peptides, and that the fibrils formed bind efficiently to silver, gold, and platinum nanoparticles; furthermore, we report unexpected behavior of serine in nucleating gold and platinum nanoparticles. We find that combination of cysteine and serine residues projecting from adjacent sites on a peptide scaffold represents a potentially useful strategy in nucleating inorganic materials. The ability to reliably produce metal-coated fibrils is a vital first step towards the exploitation of these fibrils as conducting nanowires with applications in nano-circuitry. Short, biologically inspired self-assembling peptide scaffolds derived from natural fibrous proteins with known three-dimensional structure may provide a viable approach towards the rational design of inorganic nanowires.

Lilsissy,
I'm very sorry to hear Chaos/Karen (your sis) is so sick right now. Let her know, we're hoping she gets feeling better and I'm thinking about her.
Also...(something very similiar) is going on with MY sis too!
You said (Chaos/Karen) can't eat fruit. Lilsissy, my sister cannot eat "vegetables" or she gets VERY ill...violently throwing up, and a lot of other things.
She said she's had to eat lots of meat lately (like tuna right out of the can or with crackers, and hamburgers with just the meat and bread) to help with getting sick from eating even lettuce.
Also, drinking "chocolate instant breakfast" she said helps her too". I'd mentioned "drinking milk" with the instant breakfast, just to get something in her tummy...and she said "that goes down good" without any problems.
(Is Karen making sure she's keeping alkalined)? Even a 1/2 tsp of baking soda in a small glass of water a couple of times a day, or club soda (Schwepps) brand, since it's got sodium bicarbonate in it. Seems the more acidic we are, the worse we get.

THANK YOU TONIE,
The first time I became aware of lysosomal staorage diseases was when I came across an article about G.M.O's. A herd of goats died of a lysosomal storage disease after they crossed a field and ate G.M.O's.

Thank you so much Bannanny. I am struggling to understand this thread (brain fog) but will have to try again later today. I am at an all time low in the health department. I always felt for those that had the severe itching and now I understand what they were going through. This is hell on earth. No sleep just incessant itching. Every pore on my body is itching.
The Lyme has thinned my skin so badly that I am trying to the point of exhaustion not to break open my skinby scratching. Benedryl does not offer even the slightest relief. I have gone through so many tropicals that have been discussed here but nothing is helping. As for the eyes I had another episode of blindness in my right eye and am having hours long periods of darkened vision.
This itching has an electric like quality- like lightening traveling rapidly and haphazardly. The electrical buzzing in my stomach is overwhelmingly sickening and I know it;s hard to believe but it feels evil. I am unable to tolerate pain meds so all I can do for even the slightest relief is to take a sleeping pill or zanax. I read that full body itching can be a sign that spirochetes are dying off opening small blood vessels that have been blocked for a long time. That the awakening of these blood vessels triggers intense itching.
I am unable to eat even mild chicken soup due to extreme pain in my mid upper abdomen that travels to my lower stomach. This pain is accompanied by horrible chills. I hate to say this because it sounds soooo awful but it feels like a rather large creature is trying to gnaw it's way out of my abdomen. Yesterday it felt like someone was hitting me in the abdomen with a mallot!
I have to add that I m developing lesions in a few areas (chest & arms). They are small raised bumps that open up and form scabs...maybe I am opening them up from scratching. At least the lesions on my head are drying up and the scabs are falling off.
I am so weak I am spending most of my time in bed.
Three days ago I quit all meds out of desperation and will reintroduce one at a time. Today I will take my thyroid med (thyroid was surgically removed).
I am tired and am trying to summon the strength Suebe was always able to show us.
The truth is I think the Lyme and Morgs is winning the battle.
Karen

Kmarie, I was positive (IGENEX) for Lyme & Erlichia and negative for Bartonella. With very high Erlichia which was a surprise to my doc because I had already been on about 1 year of Doxy. I wasn't tested for any others. The Babesia showed on a previous test but was under control due to previous treatment. Like many others here I had the 41 band and a few others I can't remember.
I have been on many different antibiotics & tons of supplements, I'm so sick of all the different so called "cures".
Karen

Gosh Karen... I'm so sorry you feel so bad. I think I have the flu now, actually alot of the same symptoms you're reporting. I never have itched alot but have been lately too, along with sneezing, coughing up gunk, achy, headache, slight fever with chills, etc. Don't have much of an appetite today (it takes alot for that to happen to me too!) But I can't say I'm losing weight... I've been holding steady at 125 for quite a while now. That's not a good sign tho girl... that's an awful lot of weight to lose that fast. Please go in and get a blood test at least ok? I hope some of this info helped and I'm praying for your recovery too. The info I sent to Dr. Thrasher and Dr. Abbott was as follows kammy... I told him about the "chips" we've both removed from our bodies. I told him mine not only had the ability to change in color, but structure as well and that it's in the process of being sent to a lab for identification and to be analyzed via Dr. Staninger. I gave him the pics I took in sequence of the changes that took place in my chip... color changes began... then came the structural changes... Then I told him how it changed back to it's initial state and also gave him the link to chaosonline's pics of her "chip." I told him her pics were taken with much better equipment and showed the dissection process as well... www.flickr.com/photos/chaosonline/sets/72157602561908894/detail/That's when he sent me the email I posted here for chaos to read. hugs ~~ bannanny

Karen,
Here is another take. Your liver. Thysilian or milk thistle. Get the Natures Way Thysilian cleanse and get those toxins out. It is a fifteen day course. Get those toxins out and keep doing it. With a positive lyme and erlichia, and being on antibiotics for so long, your intestines do not have the flora to protect the blood in which goes to the liver in which cannot detoxify the deludge. You have described exactly what I went through prior to my cytokiene storm. Get the toxins out. The cleanse will bind the toxins and gently help you excrete them. You must re-establish your flora, and since you are on antibiotics, that will be impossible. You will have to keep doing the fiber and cleanse until you can re-establish. Your description has floored me. If you need to talk, please give me a pm.
Frito

Crystalgon is prescirbed for cytinosis, the description of the skin changes included in the warnings , I have heard Karen mention before, stretch mark type symptons hmmmmmm, www.rxlist.com/cystagon-drug.htmcut, Skin lesions, bone lesions, and joint problems. Children treated with high doses of cysteamine may develop skin lesions. These include skin striae (which are like stretch marks), bone injuries (such as fractures), bone deformities, and joint problems. Examine your or your child's skin while taking CYSTAGON®. Report any changes to your doctor. Your doctor will monitor you or your child for these problems first you need to get some electrolights in yourself and get to the Doctor right away, here is the Cystinosis Foundation. www.cystinosis.net/TreatmentFanconi Syndrome is treated symptomatically. Fanconi Syndrome causes a loss of minerals and nutrients in the urine. Treatment requires free access to water and oral replacement of salts and minerals that are lost in the urine. High doses of vitamin D and phosphate are required to replace the lost nutrients and minerals and to prevent rickets.

Karen thinks Ticks may have somthing to do with this, looks like she's right. Cysinosis does not normally suddenly appear at an older age, forskarbloggen.typepad.com/files/white-book-on-gmo.pdfcut, Tick digestive machinery: Ticks digest host blood intracellularly in the acidic endo/lysosomal vesicles of gut cells. We have found that this key physiological process is basedon an evolutionary conserved system of cysteine and aspartic peptidases, very similar to the digestive network of blood-flukes, but different from insect blood-feeders. The components of tick digestive cascade/network are of prime interest as candidates for the rational design of another type of an efficient “anti-tick“ vaccine.

Jen.. I think all this s**t is tickborne. The Gov't knows, the Doc's in the large research centers know it. Go watch the trailer for "Under the Eightball" by Andalusian Films and read the attached blogs and comments. It will blow you away.
