Baculovirus is Identified as Morgellons

[kammy]

Where are we? Based on two recent tests for fungal growth in which I've come up negative, I have been looking at other avenues of what our 'mystery spheres' could possibly be.

Sammy created a thread called "Oidium Coccidioides" in which I started looking at the disease and fungal spore involved along with my earlier realization that 'scale insects', with the science of the same name as the fungus, have been reported with our Morgellons, will now look into this science more closely.

This is intelligent speculation, in that, so far - all of the descriptive knowns are matching Morgellons characteristics... a quote from the "Oidium Coccidioides" thread:

quote =kammy

"Yes, Sid - I you are right, they are called 'scale' insects because 2 of the 3 groups produce a scale - such as a protective coating, goo-like, fish scale pattern that we've reported happening with our lesions, which I described on the baculo thread. The science only studies the smaller species of insects, the ones that a scientist might want to manipulate to put inside a capsid (fungal spore) as if to create a baculovirus.

I'm about to look at the history of this science to see if it has been documented if there is a branch called Molecular Coccidologist, which could easily explain how Morgellons insects came to be and are showing up coming from under our skin.

The description of the science and how the 2 groups of scale insects operate along with how the characteristics of the coccidioides fungal species appears in known cases being so Morgellons-like is too much of a coincidence to ignore. They fit perfectly together.

(I knew it was a mistake but left it especially after I had quoted it. Just seeing if anyone is paying attention... lol)"

I'll bring some of the posts from that thread over here to set up the theatre for looking into the Coccidioides species as the capsid sphere in which scale insects have been caused to be produced AS IF they most likely resemble what is known in science as a baculovirus.

Whether or not the scientists that caused this creation to come about had the intention of the end product having the same characteristics as a baculovirus or if this is an accident or something that has evolved... are a part of the answers that we're looking for.

I took this post over from the Oidium Coccidioides (whew, what a name!) thread...

Hey folks, I don't know, but this 'stuff' sounds and looks kinda familiar. Here is a pic that shows the infectious cycle...note: vegetative filaments..



I'll do some research on the vegetative filaments...let's see what they look like.

Coccidioides[/center]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccidioides

"Coccidioides is a genus of dimorphic ascomycete, cause of Coccidioidomycosis, also known as San Joaquin Valley Fever, an infectious fungal disease endemic in American deserts. The host acquires the disease via respiratory inhalation of spores disseminated in their natural habitat. The primary disease is auto-limited, although fewer than 1% of the cases develop complications, which result in high morbidity. The causative agents of coccidioidomycosis are Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii."

www.doctorfungus.org/thefungi/Coccidioides.htm

Description and Natural Habitats

"Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii are thermally dimorphic fungi found in soil particularly at warm and dry areas with low rain fall, high summer temperatures, and low altitude. The two species are morphologically identical but genetically and epidemiologically distinct [738, 739]. C. immitis is geographically limited to California's San Joaquin valley region, whereas C. posadasii is found in the desert southwest of the United States, Mexico, and South America. The two species appear to co-exist in the desert southwest and Mexico.

Although it was recognized for some years that C. immitis contained two genetic subgroups, their description as separate species did not occur until 2002 [739]. Prior to this, the two groups were simply known as the California and non-California variants of C. immitis. Thus, essentially all prior literature treats them as a single species. As the two species can be distinguished only by genetic analysis and different rates of growth in the presence of high salt concentrations (C. posadasii grows more slowly), little is known as yet about differences in pathogenicity. Thus, the remainder of this discussion will simply refer to the pair of species as C. immitis/posadasii.

C. immitis/posadasii specifically inhabits alkaline soil. It is isolated in rodent burrows at desert-like areas of southwest United States. It has no known teleomorph.

Macroscopic Features

Coccidioides immitis/posadasii colonies grow rapidly. The macroscopic morphology may be very variable. At 25 or 37°C and on Sabouraud dextrose agar, the colonies are moist, glabrous, membranous, and grayish initially, later producing white and cottony aerial mycelium. With age, colonies become tan to brown in color.

Histopathologic Features

Spherules containing endospores are the typical structures formed in infected tissues [1173]. The transition form of C. immitis/posadasii producing septate hyphae that develop into arthroconidia may be observed in necrotic nodules and misdiagnosed as one of the fungi in hyphomycetes group, particularly if the spherules are not yet evident [462, 1174]. Hyphal forms may also be observed in brain tissue or cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of plastic devices. These devices presumably trigger the morphological reversion to the saprophytic form [964].

Patients with self-limited disease or relatively localized acute pulmonary infections usually do not require antifungal therapy. Antifungal therapy should be given to patients who have disseminated disease or are under risk of complications due to their underlying immunosuppression and other factors. Amphotericin B [624] and azoles, such as fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole are used for treatment of coccidioidomycosis [255, 795, 1504]. However, clinical failure during antifungal therapy is not uncommon [624]. Azoles, particularly fluconazole, is preferred for treatment of cases with meningitis. Available data suggest that the azole therapy should be continued life long in cases with meningitis to prevent relapses [583]. Amphotericin B, if used for treatment of meningitis, should be given via intrathecal route and for a prolonged duration [624]."

Here is one of the scale insects we've been looking for and if I recall right, Barb and Bannanny have shown us something similar:

mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/lso/mealybugs.htm

Mealybug

Mealybugs are soft-bodied insects also having piercing-sucking mouthparts and they possess a covering of flocculent, white, waxy threads.

A byproduct of mealybug feeding is sticky honeydew which coats infested foliage, as illustrated by the Hoya pictured in this slide and provides an excellent medium for growth of the black sooty mold fungi. This black coating further renders affected plants unsightly.



Some mealybug species may produce 100-300 eggs enclosed within an egg sac composed of waxy secretions produced by the female.



This is the Longtailed mealybug, Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni-Tozzetti).

Notice the long waxy filaments around the body, the long tails and the absence of stripes on the body. This species does not produce an egg mass or ovisac.
1 stripe in middle of back
Fringe present with thin filaments around body
Body fluid light clear
Egg sac none
Anal filaments present with one pair longer than the body and a second pair that are long but not as long as the first pair



This is the Citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso). Notice the medium sized waxy filaments around the body, absence of long tails and the single dark stripe down the center of the body. This species produces an egg mass or ovisac.
1 stripe in middle of back
Fringe short, slightly curved filaments around body
Body fluid clear
Ovisac irregular and under body of female
Anal filaments less than one-eighth the length of the body



Barb, please look at this picture..Kam just showed me a pic you sent to her...note the anal filaments:



Look at this..doesn't it look like what, I think Bannanny posted before?:



and this? Bannanny, doesn't it look like the 'yellow goo mass' you showed us in a picture?:



And could this be the white fuzzy fungus we've been seeing all along?

Repeat of a previous post below.

In this post I stated that the only group of the three not represented so far was the mealy bug. We now have reason to believe that we are seeing the mealy bug in Barb's samples.

Scale Insects

I found this interesting photo above in the USDA archives and was reading it and it caused me to look... what are they talking about?

www.sel.barc.usda.gov/coccoidea/scale2004.htm

"Loss of a great coccidologist

Jan Koteja was an innovative scientist and added numerous interesting and exciting bodies of information to the study of scale insects. According to ScaleNet he wrote 114 research papers on scale insects (and there likely are several others in press) and described at least 7 new families, 20 new genera, and 42 new species. He frequently had ideas that didn’t “fit in the box” of tradition; but in many instances his hypotheses have gained wide acceptance in coccidology. His findings in systematics, morphology, phylogeny, and fossils will remain important reading for scientist well into the future."


**I wondered what a coccidologist did, and see that they specialize in "scale insects", so I looked at that:

The scale insects are small insects of the order Hemiptera, generally classified as the superfamily Coccoidea. There are about 8,000 species of scale insects.

"Most scale insects are parasites of plants, feeding on sap drawn directly from the plant's vascular system. A few species feed on fungal mats and fungi, e.g., some species in the genus Newsteadia in the family Ortheziidae.

They secrete a waxy coating for defense; this coating causes them to resemble reptilian scales or fish scales, hence the name.

Scale insects feed on a wide variety of plants, and many scale species are considered pests. Some types are economically valuable, such as the cochineal, Polish cochineal and lac scales. Scale insects' waxy covering makes them quite resistant to pesticides, which are only effective against the first-instar nymph crawler stage. However, scales are often controlled with horticultural oils, which suffocate them, or through biological control.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_insect


Scale insects are divided into three groups: (1) armored scales, (2) soft scales, and (3) mealybugs. The armored and soft scales are one of the most destructive groups of insects that attack ornamental crops. Mealybugs are not generally considered a problem on most woody ornamentals.

The armored scales secrete a waxy covering over their bodies. This covering is not an integral part of the insect's body. The scale lives and feeds under this covering which resembles a plate of armor, hence the name. They vary in size from 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch in diameter and can be almost any color, depending on the species. Armored scales may be circular, oval, oblong, thread-like, or even pear-shaped. The female's armor is larger than that of the male, while the shape and color may be similar or distinctly different, depending upon the particular species.

Soft scales also secrete a waxy covering, but it is an integral part of their body. Soft scales vary widely in color, size, and shape. They range from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch in diameter and may be nearly flat to almost spherical in shape.

Biology
The armored scale life cycle is generalized as follows. The eggs are laid underneath the waxy covering and hatch over a period of one to three weeks. The newly hatched scales (called crawlers) move about over the plant until they locate succulent new growth. They insert their piercing-sucking mouthparts into the plant and begin feeding. Female scales lose their legs and antennae during the first molt. They molt a second time before reaching maturity and do not pupate. The cast skins (exuviae) are incorporated in the scale cover. Male scales go through two additional molts and pupate underneath the wax. Adult males are tiny two-winged, gnat-like insects without mouthparts. In some armored scales the adult stage is reached in six weeks, and there are several generations per year.

In the females of the soft scales the antennae and legs are not lost, but are reduced to such an extent that though the adults can move about somewhat they seldom do. The wax when secreted, usually forms a sac at the rear end of the body enclosing the eggs, and the scale on the back of the insect becomes much thickened, forming a thick fluffy mass. The life cycle is similar to the armored scales except some soft scales require one year to reach maturity.

entnemdept.ufl.edu/fasulo/woodypest/scales.htm

armored scale (Diaspididae)

Scale Insects (Coccidae and Diaspididae)
There are two types of scale insects, unarmored and armored. The females of the unarmored or soft scales (Coccidae) are oval to nearly circular and flat to nearly globular, and are sometimes partially covered with wax. Common examples are the brown soft scale, Coccus hesperidum L. (figure 348), and the hemispherical scale, Saissetia coffeae (Walker). Many species become stationary when fully developed. The males usually pupate under a small, thin, transparent, flat scale, and emerge as tiny winged adults. The females of the armored scales (Diaspididae) are flat, elongate to circular, and have a thick, protective shell or armor above and a very thin layer beneath the body. Common examples are the oleander scale, Aspidiotus nerii Bouch , and the greedy scale, Hemiberlesia rapax (Comstock) (figure 349). Once the motile first-instar nymphs settle down on a plant, the females never move again. The males transform to winged adults as with the unarmored scales. Scale insects suck sap from the plant, resulting in retarded growth and even defoliation. The unarmored scales, but not armored scales, excrete honeydew, which results in the growth of "sooty-mold" fungus and attracts ants.

Fungus Gnats (Mycetophilidae)
Fungus gnats are small, slender, delicate, gray or dark-gray mosquito like insects, most species being 3 to 6 mm long, with a few as long as 12 mm or more. They are attracted to light, tend to gather at windows, and are nuisances in the home. The larvae are slender and whitish, with dark heads, and live in damp soil. Large quantities of decaying vegetable matter in damp soil are conducive to heavy infestations. The larvae often feed on the roots and crowns of plants, causing them to be stunted, discolored, and possibly defoliated (see chapter 10). They can be controlled by drenching the soil surface with a dilute chlordane emulsion prepared with the emulsifiable concentrate. Gnats flying about in a greenhouse can be killed with common household aerosols or dichlorvos resin strips."

**I then realized that just about EVERY insect that we have said we believe is involved in our Morgellons is considered to be a scale insect. Scale refers to size - small. There have been some parasitic wasps reported, which are also small in size.

ALSO... I have heard from others and reported myself about how my ear was covered with a thick 'biofilm' and it resembled fish scales, we see that certain ones produce this characteristic.

Findings of these particular insects in our disease has NEVER made any sense to me, how could this possibly be? These are the PESTS, the bug you don't want in your garden, environment, etc., not a single one of them has any capability of ridding another pest bug, there is no reason for their creation in the field of pesticides.

This only leaves two explanations for why the spores which are capable of producing live insects in some circumstances, are coming out of our skin, noses, mouths, stool, eyes, urine, sperm, vaginal fluids, saliva, blood, etc:

1. In the beginning of the discovery that scientists could produce a live insect from a fungal spore... these spores got loose and since they can be transmitted via the pulmonary route... the disease started this way, immigrants from Mexico, possibly? - into the lower, desert areas of the U.S., such as CA, FL & TX.

The fungal disease itself could have come into these states initially - but, this still does not explain how the insects got wrapped up into the spores.

2. Through the creation of a bio-warfare weapon that was intentionally or unintentionally loosed on the people. The creation of the PEST insect shows maliciousness or very bad judgment. And, if we are the victims of some sort of mal-intent bioweapon, why isn't our military stepping up to help us? Isn't that what they are paid to do in a situation like this or the right thing to do? (Unless... of course, they had something to do with the 'loosing'?)

WTH is going on? Are a group of people known to eat certain foods contaminating our food supply with the intention of making us sick and killing us silently and subtly, thinking they will be exempt? Don't they realize that this contaminate is eventually going to end up in their food and water too?

You know, I have taken a very conservative approach to studying this disease, trying not to jump to conclusions until I have pretty sound evidence of what is possibly happening? I can tell you that Morgellons is appearing more and more to have a very malicious nature about it, something is rotten in Denmark.

The initial Morgellons pathogens were NOT created to be a pesticide nor insecticide. Why would you create the PEST, the insect at the end of the line, the thing you are trying to kill... none of these scale insects are beneficial in this area to rid another pest insect - no, the initial Morgellons pathogens were a bio-warfare weapon to make the enemy miserable and suffering, freaked out, and totally consumed by their disease where they are unable to function and our military knows this and yet - remains silent! Morgellons is an atrocity against the people.

hmm..well..yeah..I think so too..remember I/we were studying patents of pesticides a few weeks back? Kam and I have waited to be in Germany to publish our findings. We haven't put it all together in an understandable form in order to perform it to the docs yet, but we will shortly.

This pesticide that we've found has ALL Morg researched pathogens such as BT, BS, Agro, Baculo, CaMV, several fungi, the spheres, the fibers, the glitter, the black specks, biofilm, crystals, feathers up to the insects, insect dna, insect pheromones and even the electrical charge in it and was 'created' by a non-christian and specific substances are imported from a non-christian country.

Use this and add the mini-insects, spray it on the food and water, and..voila..!..you've got the perfect weapon that makes people weak, sick and almost loosing their mind. Buy the scientists and doctors, let them call their own people crazy and sooner or later come back and take over for good! Let their greed be their own slaughterer, which in the other hand would prove that the western culture is not worth to survive, because it sets money before beliefs, honesty and respect towards mankind.

so..if you think about what Kam said and what I also think, might it be possible or true that this 'group' is trying to destroy America? Is our disease a form of bio-warfare in order to weaken the American population? Is it a fight about who will take over Christian/Western countries first? Is it a fight between two non-christian religions?

Think about it, or is it too controversial? I personally, wouldn't doubt it one bit!!

CATEGORY, NAME AND AFFILIATION OF SCALE INSECTS

Jan Koteja

(USDA)

www.sel.barc.usda.gov/Coccoidea/scale2001.htm

"3. The classification of taxa between superfamily and order is like a volcano with permanent eruptions, depending on new discoveries achieved by means of new methods or reinterpretation of 'old' data. And this is "normal" in science. We cannot decide whether "Homoptera", "Aphidiformes", "Coccomorpha" and the like are "correct" names, categories or taxa by means of "common agreement" or voting! It is a question of scientific belief of individual researchers, under the conditions that they know what they are talking about. Often various "specialists" propose new higher level classifications and introduce new names but they can hardly recognize scale insects and aphids in the field. Unfortunately, knowledge of scale insects, their true nature and diversity, is extremely poorly known among entomologists. For instance, most paleoentomologists believe that wingless fossils (including evident crawlers!) are females, winged forms - males - without being aware of the existence of 'larvae' and apterous males.

5. Balachowsky, Bodenheimer and Borchsenius were aware of this problem and ascribed to the scale insects a category slightly higher than superfamily (Coccinea or similar), and divided them into two (archeococcids and neococcids) or three (by distinguishing the diaspidids as a separate branch) taxa and placed them higher than the family category. These branches received a formal superfamily status (Orthezioidea, Coccoidea) in further application. This resulted in the confusing or misleading usage of the superfamily name Coccoidea, either as covering all scale insects or only a group of them.

7. It is somewhat surprising and strange that coccidologists (including myself) have never dealt with the systematics or phylogeny of hemipterans except scale insects. I do not know of even a single modern original concept proposed by a coccidologist that considers the phylogeny of sternorrhynchans and places the scale insects among them. Instead, we worry about the feelings and opinions of librarians who may wonder about the usage of different names and categories referring to scale insects in paper titles. Maybe it is a kind of modesty.

8. It is necessary to distinguish between taxa and names that are governed by the Code, and associated with nominal genera and species and type specimens, on one side, and various rankles taxa and vernacular names, on the other. In the former group we are obliged to follow strictly the nomenclatural rules; in the latter, we don't need to worry about the category of taxon (group, clade, lineage, branch etc.) or suffix of the name. In my papers, I refer to the scale insects as "Coccinea", a taxon higher than a superfamily. The name could be as well Coccina, Coccodea, Cocciformes or Coccomorpha; it makes no difference to me, and the Code of Zoological Nomenclature does not govern these names.

b. We should not worry about the name of scale insects included in paper titles. They certainly are hemipterans. "Homoptera" (although paraphyletic) is more informative for more readers; "Sternorrhyncha" may be more useful in specialized journals. With time, Sternorrhyncha will certainly replace Homoptera."

Well... lookie here, we don't have to be exact for once... just call them hard or soft scales... ?? Geez...

Micrococcus
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrococcus

Micrococcus is a genus of bacteria in the Micrococcaceae family.

Micrococcus occurs in a wide range of environments, including water, dust, and soil. Micrococci have Gram-positive spherical cells ranging from about 0.5 to 3 micrometers in diameter and are typically appear in tetrads. Micrococcus has a substantial cell wall, which may comprise as much as 50% of the cell mass. The genome of Micrococcus is rich in guanine and cytosine (GC), typically exhibiting 65 to 75% GC-content. Micrococci often carry plasmids (ranging from 1 to 100MDa in size) that provide the organism with useful traits.

Micrococci have been isolated from human skin, animal and dairy products, and beer. They are found in many other places in the environment, including water, dust, and soil.

Micrococcus is generally thought to be a saprotrophic or commensal organism, though it can be an opportunistic pathogen, particularly in hosts with compromised immune systems, such as HIV patients.

It can be difficult to identify Micrococcus as the cause of an infection, since the organism is a normally present in skin microflora, and the genus is seldom linked to disease.

In rare cases, death of immunocompromised patients has occurred from pulmonary infections caused by Micrococcus.

Micrococci may be involved in other infections, including recurrent bacteremia, septic shock, septic arthritis, endocarditis, meningitis, and cavitating pneumonia (immunosuppressed patients).

Micrococci, like many other representatives of the Actinobacteria, can be catabolically versatile, with the ability to utilize a wide range of unusual substrates, such as pyridine, herbicides, chlorinated biphenyls, and oil.

They are likely involved in detoxification or biodegradation of many other environmental pollutants.

Sternorrhyncha

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternorrhyncha

"The Sternorrhyncha is the suborder of the Hemiptera which contains the aphids, whiteflies, and scale insects, groups which were traditionally included in the order Homoptera. "Sternorrhyncha" refers to the rearward position of the mouthparts relative to the head. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, and many are major crop and ornamental pests. Many exhibit modified morphology and/or life cycles, including phenomena such as flightless morphs, parthenogenesis, sexual dimorphism, and even eusociality.

Well-known groups in the Sternorrhyncha include:

* aphids – (Aphididae and allied families)
* woolly and gall-making aphids (Eriosomatinae, Pemphigidae)
* pine and spruce aphids (Adelgidae, Chermesidae)
* phylloxerans (Phylloxeridae, including Vine Phylloxera)
* whiteflies – (Aleyrodidae)
* jumping plant lice – (Psyllidae and allied families)
* Superfamily Coccoidea (scale insects)
o cottony cushion scales, giant coccids, and ground pearls (Margarodidae)
o armored scale (Diaspididae)
o cochineal (Dactylopiidae)
o lac scales (Kerriidae, Lacciferidae)
o soft scales (Coccidae)
o pit scales (Asterolecaniidae)
o mealybugs (Pseudococcidae)
o felted scales (Eriococcidae)"

Hi everyone... we're trying to get me settled here in Germany. It seems that I have to have German health insurance to become a resident... we're dealing with red tape 'stuff'.

I left someone in charge of liquidating my home back in Atlanta and the propane ran out of the tank and the house got cold and it seems that there's a black and white fungi growing in my kitchen drawers on all the wood utinsels. (You might want to toss your wood spoons, etc.?)... and in the kitchen drawer itself AND the coffee grinder is covered... hmmmm? interesting in that Jeany first got noticeably sick in my house the first time she drank coffee...? We thought it was because I used the filtered tap water - I always suspected there was something wrong with the coffee beans myself...

It seems that I need to get a professional mold inspection to see what's going on in the house, I basically abandoned most everything, everything I've ever worked for... there was a mold smell in certain rooms that was strong... I thought it was from the antique rugs, etc.?... We've had a lot of rain in that area, I wonder if some of the water has not collected under the house in the underboards... don't know yet - but, will report. The house has been on the real estate market at a low price but there hasn't been much interest.

I caught a cold on New Year's day, that started as a sore throat... oh! and now Jeany has it too... mine is a bad cough... pneumonia-like. We're going to go see the local town doctor today.

Jeany's lab results came back as Candida, mine came back negative. We did an experiment a couple of weeks prior with our saliva - we know it will eventually grow the Morgellons 'fungus'... it is confusing that all of our test results are coming back something different even though we all see we have the same thing? Both of our saliva grew the same thing in our experiment. We know that Candida is 'normal' to be in our mouth flora... I can post the photos from our experiment (which I did on this thread?) and I can tell you - there's nothing 'normal-looking' about either of our "Candida" fungi in our saliva experiments!

I am trying not to draw too many conclusions until I have more specific test results which I hope to eventually get here in Germany.

I didn't realize you were seeking residency. Does this have anything to do with Citizenship? Will you also be seeking a dual citizenship? What an adventure!!

That is very interesting. All components coming from the ground.

Were interested.

Do you think this cold be a reaction of both your bodies to the change in environment? If your previous environment continually upshifted your immune system, and then suddenly you take that away, one tends to get a reaction. Mold can certainly do that.

Do you two also have thrush? white tongue?

Stay well.

Hi Frito, you bring up some very good points.

I think I got sick on New Year's Eve, we stopped in a pub to kill some time and had a beer. They had a big dish of 'munchies' on the table - barbeque potato chips, peanuts, these cheeto like things that are made out of potatoes, quite tasty!... after I had eaten a few... Jeany says, "I wouldn't eat that if I were you... we don't know who's coughed on it, handled it or how long it's been there."

We were also on the train and subway, I didn't have hand wipes. And, the bar party we went to also served 'finger food'... it was next day when I started noticing a sore throat. I think I picked up a nasty germ in the process?...

I'm not sure about the 'thrush'... my tongue had an ulcer on it New Year's Eve night and the next day... not sure how long it had been there? It's gone now after 3 days of antibiotics. Jeany's tongue looks pink and normal - mine has deep ruts in it - not sure what that means? (I don't want to know... lol)

I wanted to comment on the anti-biotics I'm taking, it's called Levoflaxin, the doctor explained that it keeps cells from building cell walls and therefore cannot reproduce. I haven't researched it, I don't know if it's exclusive to bacterial cells only? I have 4 more days to take.

I don't want to jinx myself, but - my ears are changing - getting better! I cannot tell you the hell and hours I've been through digging this 'debris - specks, spheres, crystals, fibers' out of my outside left ear to only have it return as fast as I can remove it. I'm also using a German bacterial salve called "Fucidine Salbe" on my ears at the same time... (American equivalent - not sure?) and another homemade experiment we're trying.

I noticed last night that the 'debris' I removed yesterday did not come back and replace itself - as it abnormally does. My ear is shrinking in size and feels 'somewhat' like it's trying to get back to normal.

We're all seeing 'spheres' - cells reproducing... I'm wondering, as I've stated before - how much of my Morgellons is bacterial? I am still not 'out of the woods' with my lungs, yet... I will keep you guys posted.

It's like a Visa to stay longer than the 3 months that is allowed for travelers. No, I don't think it's the same thing as having dual citizenship, this is good for 1 year at a time, and you have re-new each year. I will always have my American citizenship.

Banny wanted to see a photo of what it looks like here... here is the back yard view, panoramic - put all three together -

[bannanny]

Wow... absolutely beautiful! Not a chemtrail in the sky either... wonder if I could stow away on a boat.

Banny, it's awesome here. There's no planes in the air, no factory smoke, it's very quiet - a stillness in the beauty. This hill behind me reminds of the ocean... you can feel the negative ions coming off of it - it has that 'ocean' feel...

The people are very vocal about not having their food modified nor manipulated. A bad word-of-mouth reputation or a "re-call" (rare) can put a company out of business very quickly here, and the Government makes these strict regulated inspections to make sure the food is 100% ok.

I hate to boast nor put anyone down, but - the food reminds me of food that I ate as a child in America - the flavors I had forgotten, it's like night and day and it's a shame what's happened.

I am 1/2 German, my mother being a Burkhart/Faust... I'm pinpointing her grandparents into the Southern Bavarian region close by from the spices and the foods she liked to eat. Our family tree was traced to the Burkharts in Munich in the 30's, I probably have 2nd or 3rd cousins in nearby Munich?

It's like you can see where your grandparents came from, their traditions, personalities, temperaments passed on... very interesting for me.

I just took some more pictures a minute ago... there's the sparrows quickly darting up and down, roller-coaster style - and there was a snow storm over the past couple of days... of course, it doesn't stop anybody here, the land accumulates the snow but the workers are good at keeping the streets clear. I'll post one in a little bit.
