"it was closed down soon after they found that since the beginning of the company's inception they were running all the spilled blood out the door and into a creek. The smell of the place was just plain disgusting AND the community was built around this filth."
HEAR THAT! I spent a year going to High School in Sparks, NV. I remember walking past a packing house on my way to school. It did smell bad and I remember the blood that ran out of that place. It ran across the dirt field and down the gutters along the street. There was no other smell like it. Even back then I knew it was wrong but your right, it was a large employer for the area. Money and Greed brother.

I go to livestock auctions to sell my lambs. Now I raise healthy happy lambs for market but let me tell you something. Farmers and ranchers do all of there business at livestock auctions because that’s where the big buyers are. I have seen a lot of nice herds and flocks sold for the consumer market, but I have also seen animals that were sick, sucked up, hardly walking, hair falling off and just all around looking bad. I assumed those are used for dog food and or other none food products but you just never know.
I live in the country now, on a dirt road with only five houses on it. It was a change for me after I became ill with morgellons in the city. One thing I learned about these folks in the country, they raise much of there own food. In the two years I have lived here I have learned to trade food products. I raise lambs and chickens (both meat and layers) while my neighbor raises cows and pigs and another neighbor has the dairy cow. Most everyone has gardens and does canning each year. It is a totally different way of life. Sure we all buy food from the grocery store but nobody around me buys or eats meat they haven’t raised themselves. Now you might be wondering, has this cured me of morgellons, hell no! It has opened my eyes to the realities of the world and it keeps me busy. I have chores to do around here and animals that need me. Guess that’s better lying in bed sick all the time.
This story on the slaughterhouse is bad but unfortunately it is not a new one. Money and greed rule the day and until we forget about party lines in Washington and just vote everybody out we are only collateral damage.
Keep your chin up and don’t be afraid to make a bold change in your life. Fulfill your bucket list and do what makes you happy.

How many people have had this orderd by the doctor? Or do you just get the stupid old question...Have you been out of the country laitly?
The standard method for diagnosing active infection is the identification of microfilariae in a blood smear by microscopic examination. The microfilariae that cause lymphatic filariasis circulate in the blood at night (called nocturnal periodicity). Blood collection should be done at night to coincide with the appearance of the microfilariae, and a thick smear should be made and stained with Giemsa or hematoxylin and eosin. For increased sensitivity, concentration techniques can be used.

Cap1AE0.bmp (900.05 KB) Same thing here. I also have other images of molting. Don't know about nematodes molting but insect larva do molt. I have no doubt there is molting going on but from what is the question.

Hi susiq You’ve just described the day to day life the majority of morgellons sufferers have. After reading your post I thought, I need to reply to this…. Then my brain went “Oh God, how can I find the energy to reply to this?” So here I sit in the sweats I’ve had on for two days, not showered in the same nor brushed my teeth. Body ridden with pain and the dullness of my brain with the lack of lust for life, I too wonder why I am still here and what’s the point. The pile of dirty clothes in the corner has become overwhelming along with all the dirty dishes that litter the kitchen. You are not alone in your situation. As a man I guess the hair thing is easier, I just used the clippers with the #2 guard and cut it all off. Heck it was falling out anyway. Seems like anymore I always have a 4 or 5 day stubble on my face as it is a major effort to shave. Women have much more grooming to do, I have no idea how you keep up with that. Now to answer your question on how we get through life? Well not very well. I can agree with Itchen about music. I find that I remove myself from the here and now by listening to music from the eighty’s and ninety’s. Stuff I used to listen too when I got out of High School. Guess it takes me back to better days. For me personally I took a bit of advice I got early on when I was hitting my financial disaster. I stopped shelling out money going to doctor to doctor. I secured a place to live out in the country now and spend my days caring for animals. It’s a good thing as all the people from my past are gone. Funny how we get sick and can’t keep up and the friends and family we know move on. Phone networking does work well. It’s much easier to talk with someone that understands then typing it to people you don’t even know. Some people you can relate to and others you can’t. Don’t be afraid to reach out and have a conversation with others on the phone. If someone is not your cup of tea you don’t have to call him or her back. It’s no big deal. We all suffer from a very serious illness and there is nothing to be ashamed of. There should be no guilt about how you live your life. We are all doing the best we can. If you need to sleep, sleep. If you have the energy to get some things done then do it. Most of all, do what ever makes you happy. I would also encourage everyone to send a few bucks each month for morgellons research. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life suffering and I’m sure you don’t either so lets all pitch in and make a difference. www.osugiving.com/sslpage.aspx?pid=433&fid=LmtDSDolKgg%3d&fdesc=4bLa2Caw7xyUzNlQpNXaVcyflYssus4gGzStQiZ1mfIqcTsEqJDzUg%3d%3d

I'm glad your still hanging in there. Stated in Nov 2005 for me and your right, it never gets any better. I can only give you a small piece of advice. Go to a gym that has a steam suana. Spend as much time as you can in there and drink lots of water. The goo will run out of your body like oil. Hit the showers and back to the steam sauna. One thing I have figuerd out is the more this builds up the more sicker you become. Really sorry your suffering, so am I. You can also send a few bucks each month and pray help comes before death. www.osugiving.com/sslpage.aspx?pid=433&fid=LmtDSDolKgg%3d&fdesc=4bLa2Caw7xyUzNlQpNXaVcyflYssus4gGzStQiZ1mfIqcTsEqJDzUg%3d%3d

Feb 22 2014 A federal judge has ordered the Army to track down soldiers who were subjected to secret medical experiments during the Cold War and warn them of any newly discovered health hazards they could face.
In a ruling (PDF) entered Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oakland, Calif., Judge Claudia Wilken lifted a stay she had briefly imposed on her earlier ruling that the Army must keep soldiers who took part in the tests up to date. The government wanted the ruling to remain shelved while it pursued appeals.
The experiments, many of them conducted as part of a program called Operation Paperclip, tested hundreds of chemical and biological agents — including LSD, the nerve gas sarin, mustard gas and amphetamines — on soldiers beginning in the early 1950s.
President Richard Nixon ended the program in 1969, and all chemical testing on humans is believed to have ended in 1976.
The issue isn't that the approximately 7,800 soldiers didn't know that they were being used in the experiments — all of them signed consent agreements, lawyers representing them in the class-action suit acknowledge. Instead, they argue, the Army abandoned the soldiers once the terms of their consent expired, generally after five years.
But Wilken ruled in November (PDF) that the Army has an obligation to continue tracking the test subjects and to alert them to new information developed after 2006 about the effects of the agents they were given. The order she filed Thursday directs the Army to comply even though it's still appealing her decision.
Government lawyers had argued that the cost of implementing the order — which they estimated at $1.8 million a year — would constitute an "irreparable harm."
But Wilken wrote that that was an insignificant burden compared to the "irreversible health consequences" suffered by the soldiers.
The government also argued that courts have no jurisdiction to assess the medical judgments of military scientists and that there is no constitutional right to notice or health care. Wilken sided with the government on some claims, removing the CIA and Attorney General Eric Holder from the suit.

Eighty percent of the patient samples used to demonstrate a novel method of culturing Lyme disease spirochetes from serum contained gene sequences identical to those found in laboratory strains used to develop the test and were likely false positives, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers report in an article published online August 14 in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
"Taken together, our data and those of Sapi et al. indicate that laboratory contamination was the probable source of the borrelial DNA found in the patient samples. The vast majority of patient pyrG sequences (41/51) are indistinguishable from laboratory strains used by the investigators. The clinical relevance of the other pyrG sequences (10/51) is unclear; these findings also may be consistent with laboratory contamination," the authors write.
The CDC researchers warned that independent verification is critical for novel findings that contradict a large body of previous work and for tests that might lead to unnecessary antibiotic treatment.
"We caution clinicians and patients to wait for independent verification by scientifically sound methods before using this culture service for diagnostic purposes," they write.
The CDC research team, led by Barbara J.B. Johnson, PhD, from the Division of Vector-Borne Disease in Fort Collins, Colorado, were trying to understand why the majority of the spirochetes described in an article published earlier this year in the International Journal of Medical Sciences were related by pyrG gene sequences to species of Borrelia that had not previously been detected in North American patients other than those with a history of travel to Europe or Asia. The pyrG gene encodes CTP synthase, which interconverts UTP and CTP in pyrimidine biosynthesis.
The authors of the previous article had used 2 B burgdorferi reference strains (B31 and 297) and 2 Eurasian reference strains ( Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii) for method development and testing of culture medium. To rule out the possibility that the sequence similarities were a result of laboratory contamination, the CDC researchers compared the pyrG sequences reported by Sapi et al. for 51 patient isolates to sequences for B burgdorferi B31 and 297 for B afzelii, and for B garinii, using the same primers used in the original study. Previously, pyrG gene sequence had been reported only for B burgdorferi strain B31, so Dr. Johnson's team sequenced the other 3 laboratory strains and deposited them in GenBank.
The analysis showed that 53% (27/51) of the patient-related sequences reported in the previous article were from samples infected by B garinii and 20 the 27 clones were identical to the B garinii reference strain. The other 7 B garinii sequences had either a single nucleotide polymorphism (n = 5), 2 differences (n = 1), or 3 differences (n = 1) from the laboratory strain.
Twenty-one (41%) of the 51 patients had nucleotide sequences related to B burgdorferi, and in 20 of these patients, the sequences matched the laboratory strain B31 exactly.
Two of the 51 patients had sequences closely related to B afzelii, which is not found in the United States.
"Eighty percent (41/51) of the reported patient-derived pyrG sequences are identical to one of the laboratory strains and an additional 12% (6/51) differ by only a single nucleotide across a 603bp region of the pyrG gene. Thus, false positivity due to laboratory contamination of patient samples cannot be ruled out and further validation of the proposed novel culture method is required," the authors conclude.
They also note that the patient cultures reported by Sapi et al. had been subjected to nested polymerase chain reaction, "a contamination-prone method that is unnecessary when bacteria are numerous enough to be seen by microscopy." The authors also point out that control samples from healthy blood donors had not been tested by polymerase chain reaction but had been classified as negative based only on dark field microscopy and antibody staining.
The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Hi Itchen, Wow thanks for pointing that out. I would suggest calling the 1-800 toll free number and ask them why that is. OSU Statement at the bottom of pages says... We will gratefully accept donations in any amount, even those greater than the online maximum of $50,000 or less than the online minimum of $10, via phone at 800.622.4678. I also had issues trying to donate through indegogo for CEHF. You can contact CEHF here to work something out I’m sure. www.thecehf.org/contact.htmlThank you very much for trying, and please don't give up. This should not be a difficult thing. I’m committed to sending a small amount every month just like any other bill. If we could all commit to a little something each month it would make a big difference. Thanks again

I checked out the site and found it to be a waist of time. I thought about pointing out a few things but soon relized that most of the people on there have nothing to do with science or research. It is more like the geeky kids in school tossing ideas around as if they were smart. Oh there are a few above average people there but, it's not like any of them are going to make an impresion on the medical community or look into morgellons more then they already have.

No sorry Toni, not demodex. I remember a different organism being presented. Might have been Dictyostelium. I can't remember but it was something like that.

Thanks for the info Toni, Trichomes are interesting and yes they look very much like the samples I have seen myself. The star shaped is most noticeable or that stand out. This would lead one to think fungal but wasn’t there another reason for this shape item. Something else you found some time ago?

Does anyone remember the news video about the woman from Idao that had morgellons and the man that had it on his feet. There was also a picture of Ant on or next to a john deer. All that is gone. I also remember the pages seperating the morgellons group from the lyme people. This board has changed or been sold. I don't remember it being part of ProBoards either. Does anyone remember any of this?

Part of the gang? Nobody here has tried to be my friend. I don't see anyone standing up for me. I stand on my own convictions even if it does put me outside the circle. I don’t come here trying to force people to believe as I do. If I’m a gang it’s a gang of one. I listen to everyone to draw my own conclusion.
Here is the problem I have with your story.
You have been telling everyone you got this from a sexual encounter overseas. Not too far-fetched but then you have gone on to describe it as an encounter that took place during the Vietnam war, but you also described it as an encounter that took place during the Korean war.
As a veteran of foreign wars, having served in the first gulf war, I have never heard anyone be confused about the theater of operation they served in. My conclusion on your story is that the validity of it, is severely diminished.
You don’t come to this board for support or to support others so I could only speculate why you are trying to dominate the board.
