If only that damn feeling you're going to be let down again wasn't holding true as far as an answer to this......unfortunately, the dermatologist I saw who did the skin biopsy from the lump behind my ear showed nothing. Gee, I somehow knew this would be the result. So guys, the mystery remains invisible......so far. We'll get it licked sooner or later. And to you who gave ivermectin to your dog, could you let me know if it helped at all? Seeing my dogs with this continues to hurt my heart. Or if anyone knows what I can do for them, please let me know..... Luv to all y'all.

Da.....Labs are programmed in the box. They do not look by discovery only by top down. There have to be some good bacteriologists, scientists out there who look at whole blood, whole cysts and not specs of it.
We've found some, Swartz, Mercola, Williams, Lenowitz, etc....Need to find out more about them. There is a Dr. Amin that is working with NORD. Need to see where he is on this now. Will check out.
Rife Labs? Tesla free energy.......LABS you need new microscopes...!!!!!! Rife machinery. Greed, hording energy, and Media lies. The media is lazy. I guess we will have to fix that. The health depts are on lazy, doctors are too busy. Hey, they are bringing in some alternate therapy along with the regular pharma therapy. Maybe, that is a first step
The medical profession is not a fashion show, not a Fortune 500, 400 whatever. Lately, they think they are the marketing firm for the Pharmaceutical Co..s.
Grow it in your garden folks. Looking into wormwood, a natural. It does kill worms. Ha ha...little snots.......
bye for now.....am teed off
Love ya bannanny. Keep your head up and spit in the face of uncertainity.
bye, skytroll

I imagine in the labs, there are a crew of tech's, persons more or less out of a tech school, doing a majority of the fielding of these things.
Experience and educational levels are probably a factor here. Also I know, they expect numbers. Like you crank through "x" number of specimens in an hour. Not, you get em all right..

Just know that you're not alone in this- I had three of the so called lesions biopsied and it came back with negative results. The funny thing is the the three places that she cut open still aren't healed and had weird black hairs only in that spot. When I put a bandaid on it-it itches like crazy. I'm afraid to go back to any doctor because I don't want to be let down anymore. Can anyone relate?

bananny, Did the doctor take a biopsy from just the top skin, or down inside the lump? If from in the lump (i don't know about just skin), then would normally be sent to a pathologist, and there'd be a written report saying what kind of cells the lump is made of and describes or identifies anything unusual that was seen. You can ask to see the report and its the doctor's and his helpers' jobs to explain what it means so you can understand it, if you want to know.
The pathologists aren't doing sloppy work, normally. They're making life altering decisions about patients' treatments, for one thing. Here's another reason - lawsuits: my deceased Dad was a very highly respected pathologist who absolutely loved his work. He made a mistake once that affected a patient down the road, and he was sued for a million dollars. He didn't know for a long time if he was going to recover from the mental devastation of that one mistake's consequences, and I don't think the money had much to do with it if at all. (If only he were alive now to advise and help me do research on our problem - I know he'd have been happy to)
Some things like blood go to the lab techs and I don't know if any lazy bad ones are kept on in their jobs often, or not.
However, I think our specimens have to be seen fresh and alive,by microbiologists, for instance, who can watch their movements, if we're going to find out anything.

You almost need to be lucky and make su8re you go at the right time during your parasite's lifecycle. I'm trying to make an appointment today so the doctor can see the little tubes the worms stick through my skin. I got a sample last night, but then dropped it. I also have about 30 of the worms at the cotton fluff stage, but they came off in the bath and don't look like much. I'm hoping to get a biopsy while they are in this stage. It seems to be the only stage when it's possible. It's also when they cause the most pain.
What kind of doctor studies parasites? Is it a pathologist? Is there a term for parasite specialist?

Many biopsies later: still no answer. Dr is sending me to Infectious Disease specialist. Anyone have any experience or comments on this? Don't know how this would effect dogs, but for me sometimes a squirt of Eucalyptus[it is strong] gives some relief and the skin apparently not so inviting. Other times, as per my European friend, a piece of cabbage taped onto the offending lesions draws them out. Guess the hard part would be keeping the dog from eating it. Good luck. and Hang in there. Oh, and sometime really strong oregano tea [yuck] relieves the itch. Worst part is swallowing/consuming this evil brew. Please keep me informed .

Speaking of the drawing out.....
I bought a sample kit of Burt's Bee's face stuff a while back. Inside it is this little bottle called Repair Serum. A couple of weeks ago, out of frustration, I decided to put a dab of it on my "lesion from hell". Out of all the many products I have used, this one is the best for drawing out stuff. I was really suprised. I've used it about 5-8 times and each time the yuck started coming up to surface....lots of it. I'm at the point where I would rather have these things dried up though so I'm not using it anymore.
Here are some of the ingredients it has listed - starting from the first: rosehip seed oil jojoba oil lavendar oil vitamin e evening primrose oil borage seed oil wheat germ oil calendula extract green tea extract beta carotene vitamin c vitamin a

My experience with an infectious disease dr., Verybeezee, was unfortunately another delusional one. Said he couldn't see anything........da.......kinda hard to see anything microscopic, but he didn't even run tests or examine me at all. Just another delusional person out their in society wasting his time. And for the amount of money he charged just to see him, poop, he should have kissed my feet! Sorry, but that was my experience with a UCLA infectious disease dr. I pray yours is a much better one. Let me know how it goes for you. Good luck and love to all my friends!

Have u seen a lyme specialist? Just wondering, I went my first time May 11 and the nurse was taking my BP and askif I had ever heard of Morgellons, she could see the lesions. I said yes and she winked at me. So they know, my dr. though told me nothing was contagious and never mentioned the word. It was an extinsive first visit so i did mostly listen and decided to ask him nxt visit. i think i will, u hate to ruin a good thing. u know
