Dear Mrs. Bush:
Thank you so very much for the reply. You have no idea how much hope it gives me. I forgot to ask in my last letter if you will please speak to Senator Coryn. He is trying to help us. I don't know how he came into the Lyme issue but I bet it's an interesting story. Please talk to him. He can also show you letters from many of the sufferers.
We are just a very small fraction of the citiziens in this country, but our torture is unbearable, and UN-AMERICAN. We are in a rising epidemic that starts with the Lyme disease controversy. Our country is split over this issue. It is extremely hard to get an accurate diagnosis for this known disease, that many doctors are stubbornly refusing to "believe" is in their area. Let me see.........that means our doctors are a bunch of narrow-minded idiots. Do they really think we will believe them, when the symptoms they ignore speak volumes?
Morgellons may someday join the list of a dozen other diseases that a person with Lyme could have, called co-infections of Lyme. Until that day we have to suffer without medical care or investigation. By the time they get around to helping us, we will all have this scourge. Why not nip-it-in-the-bud now? Why not prevent the suicides that ARE happening NOW?
When a person with Morgellons shows a doctor their lesions they are told to stop mutilating themselves. What arrogence. The worst part of this nightmare is that children are being infected, their little lives shattered. They have absolutely no control of this situation, and most lose their social life, even school. How very sad, how heart-breaking, for the parents who are struggling with their very lives trying to survive this, while NO ONE is helping. I beg you to email or call Mary Leito at morgellons.org. She can really fill you in on what is going on.
My personal view is that we have to start with the animals. Lyme disease is an animal disease which requires a vector insect. When the infected insect feeds off a human, the person is infected also. If we have an epidemic of Lyme disease and we have an overpopulation of deer in America.........duh?!.........What kind of programs can be enacted to control animail diseases and populations, thereby reducing the risk of transmission of animal diseases to humans? Please see the enclosed article published by Readers Digest for more info on animal overpopulation, and the fatal driving hazard they have become. I will be writing to the reporter because he has only touched on the tip of the iceberg. There is a much bigger story. The over population of animals in America is causing illness in humans. Lyme disease is only one of them.
There are all matter of parasitic forms of life: protozoa, bacteria, mold, fungi, germs, viruses, and insects. If given the chance they will invade your life. Children get sick petting animals at the zoo, dog mange gets on people, even mold mites get on people, I could name 50 others. How can any doctor on the face of this earth not know that? How can they err in thinking that we can be fooled? I have a high school eduction and 15 years experience as a secretary, and in a short time researching on the internet I knew more than doctors about parasites? I don't think so. It is too blaringly obvious that they have to know. We all have some knowledge of parasites. It is taboo, and the American doctors are behaving as it the subject doesn't exist.
Can you believe my shrink asked me "So, when did you start thinking of yourself as a "host"?" Let me see........."since they've been having a party on me"!
I'm enclosing an article that describes many conditions that can cause our symptoms. If all of these conditions and diseases are ignored by our doctors and we know about them, how are we ever going to get help for a mysterious new disease? There is a website with all the news links about Morgellons. It is being reported all across the country, and still no shame from the doctors who ignore us. PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS SITE: www.geocities.com/brain_fog/usp_media.html It has a list of news video links. Please take the time to watch even one of them.
Thank you so much for your time,
Becky Bailey
