I can certainly understand the skeptism by the members who have been fighting this thing much longer than I have, however, I am fighting for my family. I, so far, am not sick. I don't know if I will stay this way or if any day I will come down with this. I have a few symptoms but I have had these for years and I thought it was related to another problem I have. So with that being said, I am plugging on with as much as I can do while I am healthy and for all of you who are simply too sick to handle all of this... If the admins or some of you great computer folks could start up a sign up board for each state, that would be a giant first step. I am also purposing a time limit for all the folks in each state in which to sign up and then hold a meeting place, somewhere in the central area of the state to bring all the ideas and proposals together in an organized fashion. I am starting here in Alabama. Then have a meeting of all the "reps" from each state in a national location where we can plan a method of getting the attention of the media and the government in a concentrated effort that cannot be refuted. Not only that but make sure that our group is in such a public eye, that any kind of "untoward behavior" from anywhere will be a highly public incident. I'm not convinced that the government can silence the ENTIRE media of the U.S....(I could be wrong, but I am hoping not). I will also post this on the "let's plan" thread. With the death of Mrs. ML King, we should all be reminded how powerful a unified voice can be.
As far as the skeptism about keeping the momentum, it is VERY hard to keep up the motivation and to "stay the course". In chuch the other night we were talking about Hebrews and "keeping your eyes focused on Christ, STAYING THE COURSE..." I know that I will be given the strengh and focus of what needs to be done. Of that I have NO doubt. If you are tired of people starting this kind of thing and then letting it fissle out, then you are in for a surprise. I have a reputation for not ever giving up.
This is a problem that is messing with MY FAMILY so they have thrown down the gauntlet. I TRULY, TRULY am heartbroken for all of you. For myself. I will posting a new thread to get this thing rolling. LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

The messages I posted on "Lets Plan" may have some new ideas. Take a look and see if any of these ideas appeal to any of you.

My Response to Barabara's email below:
Barbara, I cannot tell you the of the utter relief of your response. I will get this information to you asap and would like to meet with you on February 13, 2006. Just let me know what time and where to meet you and I will be there.
You have no idea how this will lift the spirits of so many sufferers. It may turn out that we can help you with your skin problems as well.

Letter to Barbara Evan of Alabama Watch February 2, 2006
Barbara, I would like to make an appeal to you with regard to your financial plight. We are both in a position that could truly work out to be a mutually beneficial relationship. People here in Alabama are becoming very, very sick and recently I have found that it is not only here in Alabama, but all over the nation as well. This disease is being called Morgellon's Disease for unity's sake since no one knows what this is. Even all the different types of doctors being consulted don't know what this mystery skin disease is. There are other names for the same disease floating around but they are all the same. There have been many news reports, articles and radio broadcasts covering this illness, yet nothing is being done to help. The CDC is turning a blind eye and is oblivious to the mounds of documentation and pleas of the public consumers who are being denied health care. There are more than 3,000 people in the U.S. that WE KNOW OF. But I know there are many more out there. Until the CDC recognizes this as a disease of concern, the insurance companies are refusing to pay for any treatment in connection with the disease. Therefore, consumers are losing everything. Losing their jobs, families, dignity, and what is worse, children are affected by this as well. Lives are being destroyed all around us and there is no one to help get our voices out to the legislature. I believe with the additional funding this cause can generate for your organization, it will help tremendously in getting your funds to an acceptable functioning level. This may be the thing to help you get back on your feet. I am prepared to send you information regarding this and am even willing to drive down to meet with you from Florence, Alabama to discuss further. Please let me hear from you as soon as possible. My telephone number is ___________ at work and _____________at home. I am a Paralegal for a law firm here and we receive your news letters. Again, I am begging for your ear!! If you are not willing to get involved in this, maybe you can let me know what I need to do to set up my own organization such as yours to get help for my own family and the thousands of family who desperately need help. Anxiously awaiting a response, I am Sincerely yours, Leigh Ann Cofield, Paralegal alparalegal1118@bellsouth.net or alparalegal1118@aol.com
NOW GO TO THE ALABAMA ACTIVITY THREAD AND DO YO THANG!!!

Lastly, I have begun reviewing the federal codes and regulations to find our way into their records. Ultimately, if we have an attorney who will represent the group, then we can file suite, subpoena records etc. Again, I know that our answers are going to come from the federal government and NOT the health industry. The doctors and the CDC etc. are just a bunch of lackeys (working stiffs) who answer to a higher power. They don't have the authority to do anything. Don't waste time climbing the wrong ladder...

Furthermore, as to answer the question of what is each person willing to do? If all of you are willing, send me copies of your medical records from the date of the onset of this forward. I will compile and organize a comprehensive list of all the conditions, method of progression, and anything else that will present a solid argument to the right audience. The facts will be undeniable when organized and indexed in such a manner that you show the progression of the disease and the effects it has on all of us. This is something I do on a regular basis as a paralegal. PLAINTIFF paralegal too! If there are any attorney's in this group, lets get organized. Then lets organize all the other folks who have the talent to set up databases and massive e-mail capabilities. We will need a central data base for our plan of attack... ANY TAKERS?

I don't know of them right off hand, but I will check into the bar association and Martindale Hubble to check their credentials. It looks like a good prospect! Thanks!

Which method are you referring? Hiring a law firm to pursue a class action or form non-profit PAC's? If we are talking about a law firm, we just talk them into taking the case and they do all the commercials, ads, recruiting etc to get as many people as they can and then file suit and request for qualification of "a class". We can designate amongst ourselves who should be our voice from each state with which the law firm can communicate. In huge litigation issues like this, you have many levels but mostly deal with the Federal Court where the wrongdoing is first believed to have occured. Then it can become a national claim covering all plaintiffs in different states. But as far as doing anything in this scenerio, once we give the documents to the law firm, it will only be a matter of providing them the info they need.
Now as far as a PAC, I will have to check into how it would work Federally, but yes, you pretty much prepare the paperwork and file it with the probate court of the local county and with the Secretary of State of that state. This would require a lot more work, organization and formality involved. There are filing fees involved and you have to have officers, sort of like a corporation or LLC. BUT don't quote me until I have time to refresh my memory. We could be "THE PEOPLES FRONT OF JUDEA" oops that's Monty Python......THE UNITED PEOPLES FR.....no......OH! How about THE THREADS OF THE RED WHITE AND BLUE!!! I doubt they would see the irony....or how about PEEEYU, Parasites Entangled in Engineering Episode Yields Unrest....ok, we'll have to work on that one...hee hee. Any lawyers here among us?

No doubt you are burned out. My heart goes out to all of you. That's why, again, there needs to be someone in charge at the state level as "Keeper of the Information Arsenal" who has the energy to pick up the ball and run with the amazing amount of ground work you guys have done to date. I am healthy, but my Mother and both my sisters are very sick... They have improved recently but you know how it is. I can't see them as I have somehow missed the bullet. They all got sick at the same time after I moved out of the house. My Mom and one sister first then, my other sister when she stayed over the weekend to help take care of them. I haven't gone in the house and when I get things from them, I use gloves and mask. It's horrible for me to have to talk to my mother through the door... I know how exhausting this disease is honestly, those with active outbreaks cannot afford the stress of it all. Even those who are not active right now can't afford the risk to the immune system. That's what keeps me going back to a law firm who can take this thing and start turning over rocks and knocking on doors until knuckles bleed. Remember Erin Brockovich ? (however it's spelled) Don't worry, THEIR motivation would be as Lyle Lovett sings, "M-O-N-E-Yyyyy". What say you about the law firm angle? Let THEM organize and present the evidence to the right audience. And assign someone from each state as watchdog to keep tabs on the progress

I CAN TELL YOU NOW THE QUICKEST PATH FROM A TO B IS FROM MY FOOT INTO THE DOCTOR'S @!*!!!!!!!!! THAT IS ONE SWIFT SEMI-CIRCLE, A PERFECT ARCH.......WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
Sorry folks, just want you to be aware again, as I am sure that you are, we HAVE to take this awareness seriously, or the next person who is involuntarily committed may be YOU, like one of my Sisters today.... I'm healthy and I can't imagine that so many people are SO IGNORANT to not SEE what is being shown to them!!
My heart really goes out to those whose family members don't believe them. I am one who believes what is happening to my sisters and my mother. And I still wasn't able to convince them that she wasn't DOP!
PLEASE EVERYONE, KEEP THE BATTLE FLAG UP!!! WE ARE SEEING MOMENTUM AND WE CAN'T LET IT WANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET'S MAKE THIS PATH AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AND POSSIBLE!!

Betsy, I too believe they are in or can contaminate the water system. If you have one of those water in the door type fridges, check the filter. My mom's was so clogged up with black stuff that it cut off the water from getting into the ice maker!!! What is amazing thought is that when we took it to the USDA for examination, they of course didn't find anything! Rrrrriiiiiiiiiiiight.....Anyway, she is also finding worms in the fridge and in the ice cubes. Yuk! Little B@$!%^$!!!!!!

When you go the O-zone web site, (someone attached the link earlier ) you will find a section of Clinical Trials. It shows where the clinical for Morgellon's has begun. Also you can see the papers written by him and his partner. He seems to truly scorn the FDA...Not only that, there also continues to be some link between "caries" and the bacteria that causes them and the bacteria assocated with our problem. Dr. Amin in Arizona follows that same theory. Although he calls this disease, NCS, Neuro-Cutaneous Syndrome. His clinic is The Parasitology Clinic I think.
