“Worms-Under-Skin” Disease Puzzles Scienists

Published by tonythescribe at 1:20 am under current events Edit This

Is it caused by a bacteria or fungus?

To the nearly 10,000 families suffering from the symptoms Morgellons disease, it doesn’t matter. The disease, blamed on everything from alien abductions and government conspiracies, to genetically altered foods carries a litany of physical and psychological symptoms.

(C)ommonly reported symptoms include:

* Multi-colored fiber-like strands or crystals protruding out of skin

* Fatigue

* A feeling of parasites or worms crawling under skin

* Black specks in lesions that do not heal

* Joint swelling and/or hair loss

* Memory loss or general brain fog with difficulty concentrating

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided a US$338,000 grant to Kaiser Permanente to research Morgellons

an affliction it refers to as a “skin condition.”

Even this classification is under debate.

Dr. Ahmed Kilani, president and CEO of Clongen Laboratories and a specialist in infectious disease detection, told WND the illness is much more than a mere skin condition.

“It spreads between individuals,” he said. “Unlike infection, this is something much more serious. People die from complications because the disease is more than skin deep. It’s not just a skin condition that causes lesions. It goes into the stomach and impacts the G.I. tract and causes brain conditions.”

Many scientists and researchers do not belive Morgellon is a disease, but rather a ‘fabricated illness’. Kilani believes this is wrong, claiming ‘10 calls’ a day from people ‘who identify themseleves as having the symptoms.’

…I have met people from all walks of life: High-powered attorneys, physicians, nurses, actors, actresses, athletes. They go nuts after awhile. They become socially rejected because of the way they look. The whole thing is just a disaster.”
