health.groups.yahoo.com/group/critterfiles/message/354?var=1&l=1 Please read to the very end of the link, also here is a portion of the post.... Flies have evolved coping strategies (biological, physiological and biochemical) to survive the hosts immune responses - whether those are nonspecific eg. natural killer cells and complement proteins, or specific eg antibodies and T cells (30). This is seen in Oestrid flies, where they downregulate the host immunological function, keeping parasite/host in dynamic equilibrium (30). Anemia & changes in blood plasma Myiasis can cause mild anemia and other blood serum abnormalities (64). Psychological disturbance Patients suffering from myiasis may present with depression, malaise, lethargy, insomnia and disturbed sleep cycles (34). Secondary infections Myiasis can be complicated by a secondary bacterial or fungal infection. Such secondary infections may include Borrelia sp. the etiologic agent of Lyme Disease (13) and Staphylococcus aureus (14). The main bacteria and fungi found inside myiasis causing fly larvae. There is strong evidence that flies play an important role in bacterial infections, including those resistant to antibiotics. For example, filth flies can carry over 100 human pathogens. Flies carry parasites such as Cryptosporidium and viral pathogens including Poliovirus, Coxsackievirus and Enteroviruses. They can transfer the eggs and cysts of various cestodes and nematodes, particularly hookworms and ascarids.

Hello Sheredelight,I have taken pictures of a gnat trying to expell nemetodes just before dying.It had a tube like appendage. The stickey tape would not allow the birthing to complete. At the very end of it;s life small egg like structures were lined up waiting to be ejected after the nematobes . If someone lives in the Windsor Detroit area,they are wellcome to come to my place a edit the picture.They are video and show the gnat moving and pushing the wiggly nematodes out. morghunter.

Dear Folks, This is one of the BEST explanations printed to date of Morgellons Disease, IMO. Please READ and especially look at the micrographs...I have pix from my own files that match many of these photos!!! I also expelled from my body, one from the mouth, and one embedded deep within my arm near my Smallpox innoculation, that after removal (perfectly intact) produced a liquid that actually changed the configuration of a more than 50 year old Smallpox vaccination!!! To date, with the help of Jo of Morgellons UK, we have not been able to determine the type of winged fly that emerged from my body...however, nor has any biologist or parasitologist and it has been viewed by experts around the world. This particular report is definitely worth viewing in its entirety to compare what has come out of the body of others who have posted on this and other forums. Good job on finding this report! Blessings, CTBarb

Hi sheredelight, having read about the flies and seen the pictures,what I thought were nematodes likely were larvae. The difficulty is catching the flies without crushing them. There is a strip of sticky fly trap hanging above me and there are some extremely small flies caught on it. Time to get my son over and learn to open a file and fill it. Watching the birthing is really gross when you consider the fly is hardly bigger than a small dot. Time to get busy. Later morghunter.

What Are the Elements in the Human Body? chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/f/blbodyelements.htm◦Oxygen (65%) ◦Carbon (18%) ◦Hydrogen (10%) ◦Nitrogen (3%) ◦Calcium (1.5%) <== Elements start here and downward ◦Phosphorus (1.0%) ◦Potassium (0.35%) ◦Sulfur (0.25%) <== Sulfur is the 4th most abundant ◦Sodium (0.15%) ◦Magnesium (0.05%) ◦Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%) ◦Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine (trace amounts) Basically, starting at Calcium, Sulfur is the 4th most abundant element in the human body yet you’ll never find it in a blood work report or any report for that matter, and it’s not listed concerning food contents either. Strange considering just about everything else on this list is, even those in very minute trace amounts. More on Sulfur www.drlera.com/MINERALS/SULFUR.HTMSulfur represents about 0.25 percent of our total body weight, similar to potassium. The body contains approximately 140 grams of sulfur-mainly in the proteins, although it is distributed in small amounts in all cells and tissues. Sulfur has a characteristic odor that can be smelled when hair or sheep’s wool is burned. Keratin, present in the skin, hair, and nails, is particularly high in the amino acid cysteine, which is found in sulfur. The sulfur-sulfur bond in keratin gives it greater strength. Sulfur is present in four amino acids: methionine, an essential amino acid; the nonessential cystine and cysteine, which can be made from methionine; and taurine, which is not part of body tissues but does help produce bile acid for digestion. Sulfur is also present in two B vitamins, thiamine and biotin; interestingly, thiamine is important to skin and biotin to hair. Sulfur is also available as various sulfates or sulfides. But overall, sulfur is most important as part of protein.

Lowering the Acidity of body fluids does NOT mean lowering Acidity of the Stomach! Low PH in the Stomach is absolutely essential to good digestion. Good digestion is essential to break down food so the intestines can absorb vitamins.
Good acidity is essential to keep the valves (top & bottom of the stomach) working. When stomach acid is too low we can get bacteria overgrowth & putrefied food, which cause gas. This gas causes Acid Reflux, which is misdiagnosed as Excess Acid. Anti-acids & Proton Pump Inhibitors will ease pain, but result in a life of poor absorption & deficiencies.
Anyone suffering from Acid Reflux should try Lemon/Lime juice! You might be surprised how quickly that works. Stay away from Bicarb Soda. Baked products (pies, bread, biscuits, cakes) are the enemy of Stomach Acid.
Stay away from Ant-acids & PPIs. Supplement meals with Betaine HCl tablets. If you suffer wind, just try Betaine HCl. You may be surprised how your pumping stops. Smaller portions & chewing properly helps PH.

Hi sheredelight, Well it's certainly part of the answer I think & I identified with so much written in that article, particularly the description of the lesions. Of course the whole thing totally grossed me out. With regards to the stomach & good digestion I found this information on a Low FODMAP Diet. I don't believe I am absorbing nutrients due to worsened IBS for 2 months. After looking through this list I can see I am still eating foods which I thought where ok. If I keep eliminating foods the way I am I will have nothing to eat! - looking into seeing a Dietitian - IBS is more complex than once thought. What are the FODMAPs? FODMAPs are found in the foods we eat. FODMAPs is an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides (eg. Fructans and Galactans) Disaccharides (eg. Lactose)Monosaccharides (eg. excess Fructose) and Polyols (eg. Sorbitol, Mannitol, Maltitol, Xylitol and Isomalt) Where are FODMAPs found? A few examples of food sources for each of the FODMAPs are listed below. The list is not complete. New data has been obtained through Monash University Department of Gastroenterology regarding the FODMAP content of foods. As a result, there have been some changes from previous food lists. Below is a list containing up-to-date information. The dietitians at Shepherd Works can provide you with an up to date list of the full list of foods during a consultation. Excess Fructose: Honey, Apples, Mango, Pear, Watermelon, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids Fructans: Artichokes (Globe), Artichokes(Jerusalem), Asparagus, Beetroot, Chicory, Dandelion leaves, Garlic (in large amounts), Leek, Onion (brown, white, Spanish, onion powder), Raddicio lettuce, Spring Onion (white part), Wheat (in large amounts), Rye (in large amounts), Inulin, Fructo-oligosaccharides. Lactose: Milk, icecream, custard, dairy desserts, condensed and evaporated milk, milk powder, yoghurt, margarine, soft unripened cheeses (eg. ricotta, cottage, cream, marscarpone). Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS): Legume beans (eg. baked beans, kidney beans, bortolotti beans), Lentils, Chickpeas Polyols: Apples, Apricots, Avocado, Cherries, Longon, Lychee, Nectarines, Pears , Plums, Prunes, Mushrooms, Sorbitol (420), mannitol (421), xylitol (967), maltitol (965) and Isomalt (953). tinyurl.com/3c8ctl8

To Kill the Larva stage of flies..
Treatment comprises systemic and local measures. Systemic treatment includes broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ampicillin and amoxycillin especially when the wound is secondarily infected .
Topical treatment consists of application of turpentine larvicidal drug like Negasunt (by Bayer) , mineral oil, ether, chloroform, ethyl chloride, mercuric chloride, creosote, saline, systemic butazolidine or thiobendazole and removal of the larvae .
Turpentine is a toxic chemical as it can induce tissue necrosis. When applied topically, it can produce epithelial hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis and ulceration . However, the damage is reversible, the hyperplasia will only persist when the stimulus is continuously applied and regresses once it is withdrawn .

Topical treatments
Often, 70% ethanol or chloroform is first applied to the areas of skin infected.
A wide range of chemicals have been used to either kill or draw the parasites out of the skin as follows:
Larvicidals
Turpentine larvicidal drug like Negasunt (by Bayer), mineral oil, ether, ethyl chloride, mercuric chloride, creosote, saline, systemic butazolidine or thiobendazole(4).
Occlusion
Larvae that cause human furuncular myiasis and wound myiasis require contact with outside air via caudad respiratory spiracles for respiration. Topical application of a substance that blocks respiratory exchange exploits this need and either kills the larva directly or induces it to migrate upward, where it can be removed manually(6).
Occlusion with a variety of substances include; petrolatum, nail polish, animal/bacon fat, beeswax, paraffin, hair gel, mineral oil, 'Chimo' (a paste-like form of smokeless tobacco) and toothpaste cap. These substances are placed over the pore of the skin, or in the case of wound myiasis, directly over the location of the body that is infested (6).
Occlusion is required for at least 24 hours to allow the larva to migrate to the skin surface, thus allowing careful extraction. For C. anthropophaga lesions, manual pressure to lateral aspects of the lesion may permit expression of larva (9).

I'm trying this on my skin, did provoke a distinct electrical / biting ? sensation on my face as I'd applied some 10 minutes before showering. Sheredelight, I now know what this stuff smells like, taken me 3 days to figure it out - NO joke smells like turpentine crossed by gasoline, maybe that's a good thing tastes awful though so don't get in your mouth Ionil-T Scalp Cleanser Coal Tar Solution 0.05mL/mL (5%), Salicylic Acid 200mg/Ml (2%), Lauromacrogol 200, Lauromacrogol 1150, Ethanol and Purified Water. Preservative: Disodium Edetate 0.03mg/mL. Benzalkonium Chloride 2mg/mL.

Hey itchin,
Ahhh, that's smelly stuff, tho good luck with it, Tar smells terrible.....hope it works.... its all trial and error with me. I just bought some ,your gonna love this, Hard Hair Gel and put it on and let it set, to close over their breathing apparatus. Last week dad gave me some spray on bandage, and left it on for 3 days, just a test spot on my shin, you should have seen all the sores and bleeding appear from normal skin, its them...but its not easy to get off, also these critters are eating the collagen out of our skin, now wonder our skin looks different. This ages us, and even my legs....so we have to try to leave it on for 24 hours ....cheers ,hugs....

Hi sheredelight,
I don't know if it is helping or not because my chin is breaking out again, right near the area I had the big thing I told you about. I did take a course of antibiotics for that because as I said I could feel my gland, it was horrible. Then of course the big whatever it is in the middle when the hole opened. I've been getting biting in my face this afternoon. I'm not over dosing on the stuff. I never tried it in the early days because my skin had been damaged for sure by some stuff starting with "T" & it's really nasty stuff & a Dermatologist told me to use it. I ain't saying anymore...!
Hard Hair Gel...oh that is funny, would be hilarious if this wasn't all so disgusting for us girls to deal with....
Big hug mate xo

Hello, The origin of that report with pictures and all refs is here: www.morgellonsuk.org.uk/micromyiasis.htmPlease note.... The topical myiasis treatments listed in the report will not help established morgellon symptoms - because normal skin myiasis is localised. Whatever we have is not localised...more micro sized and prolific i'd say! cheers Jo
