[Thanks to "Kathy S." whose courage in revealing these facts made it
possible to write this.]
If you have ever watched horror movies, you've
probably seen one where a person becomes infested by bugs or worms. Their skin
begins to move and ripple as dark shapes squirm under its surface. Suddenly
their skin bursts open allowing a colony of bugs to escape! While this is an
exaggeration of Morgellons Disease, it's not that far off.
For over a decade now, thousands of people on
every continent (except Greenland) have contracted a mysterious disease that
still eludes the medical community. Morgellons remains shrouded with
controversy, paradoxes and politics and has become a major "conspiracy
theory" on the world wide web.
Morgellons victims have the sensation of bugs,
worms or sometimes ants crawling under their skin. They describe being stung or
feeling like needles are sticking in them. They develop skin lesions that bleed
and fester, exuding a kind of film that covers the wounds and prevents them
from healing. But the weirdest thing is the mysterious appearance of fluffy,
white cotton balls that form on the surface and colored threads that seem to
grow from inside the skin.
The threads or filaments are what brings most
victims to their physician. After weeks of observing and collecting these
threads, patients often bring them to their physician in matchboxes, plastic
bags or jars. Quite often, Morgellons sufferers are excited and a bit
hysterical and suggest that they have some sort of "thing" living
inside of them. Totally unfamiliar with these symptoms, the typical physician
usually makes the diagnosis of delusional parasitosis and refers the patient
for psychiatric care.
"Delusional
Parasitosis is a form of psychosis whose victims acquire a strong delusional
belief that they are infested with parasites, whereas in reality no such
parasites are present. Very often the imaginary parasites are reported as being
"bugs" crawling on or under the skin; in these cases the experience
of the sensation known as formication may provide the basis for this belief.
Morgellons does, in fact, have a psychological
component. Victims report problems with short term memory, clouded thoughts and
emotional fatigue. The reluctance of physicians to perform tests or examine
their specimens further incites these victims and deepens the conviction of
their caregivers that the wounds are self-inflicted and psychogenic.
With the help of the internet, Mary Leitao, who gave the disease its name, reached out to
others who had been turned away by the medical community. After being
frustrated with the treatment of her young child who had these symptoms, Mary
found other victims of this strange disease. Together they demanded that the
medical community (and politicians) take them seriously. Through the influence
of her oragnaization, The Morgellons Research
Foundation (morgellons.org), some
scientists did examine the specimens, specifically the strange threads that
Morgellons victims had growing from their wounds. The results of laboratory
tests on these fibers were unexpected and extremely strange. This strangeness
has only served to feed conspiracy theorists who claim that they are the result
of such things as chemtrails, a secret genetic modification program, an alien
organism or rogue nano-technology.
As you will see, these theories all seem to
have some legitimate basis.
Examining the
fibers -- strange properties indeed!
Without the
threads or fibers that Morgellons victims claim to extract from their lesions,
their symptoms are not unique. Itching and the crawling sensation are common
when the skin is irritated or there is an allergic reaction. Scratching the
skin with one's fingernails can open the skin to infections and prevent natural
healing. What makes Morgellons symptoms unique are these fibers. So an analysis
of these artifacts should tell us volumes about whether this is some new
disease or a common one.
We all have fibers on our skin. Just have a
look at your own skin. Bits and pieces of our clothing rub off and stick to our
skin all the time -- just look at the lint in your belly button! So the first
thing scientists did was to examine the Morgellons fibers to see where they
might have originated.
The FBI keeps an extensive catalog of threads,
hair and fiber for forensic analysis. With just one thread, for example, they
can match the year and model of automotive carpeting, or the manufacturer of a
particular item of clothing. But when the Morgellons specimens were submitted
to the FBI Forensic Lab and examined they could not be matched!
The next step was to determine the composition
of the fibers. What were they made from?
Morgellons fibers all have one thing in common
-- they appear to originate in the skin lesions of their victims. But
individually they are quite different in both appearance and composition. There
are fuzzy white fibers, sometimes called "cotton balls", that are
found growing on top of the skin lesions. Then there are the colored fibers or
threads, usually pink, blue or black, that are found under the skin -- even in
the surrounding healthy tissue -- and often poke through the lesions. Then
there are clear fibers that have a small golden bulb on the end.
The white fuzzy fibers or cotton balls
were found to be fluorescent. This means that they glow when exposed to
ultraviolet light. Since no human cells have fluorescent properties this was
quite a surprise.
Scientists have observed that certain marine
organisms like jellyfish have the ability to glow in the dark, or fluoresce.
This property has advantages for organisms that live deep under the water where
there is little sunlight. By using a procedure called Trans-genetics, the DNA
from jellyfish has been artificially inserted in the genetic information of
other organisms, causing them to glow. Below are examples of trans-genetic
goldfish and pigs. The fluorescent properties are spliced into certain genes to
enable scientists to "tag" these genes and better understand their
function.
Finding this fluorescent property in a human
body is not natural. It suggests that the glowing fuzzy fibers quite possibly
originated from a trans-genetic organism that was residing in the Morgellons
lesion. Scientists wanted to know how such an organism got in to the Morgellons
victims.
Next the scientists next tried to determine
the composition of these fuzzy filaments. They attempted to dissolve the
material in a strong hydrochloric acid preparation -- but to their surprise it
did not dissolve! So they ground the fiber with a mortar and pestle, separated
the components by letting them migrate across a gel in an an
electric field, then used a technique called spectroscopy to match them to
known molecular profiles. The results showed that the fibers were made from
human serum albumin (the liquid part of human blood that contains proteins) and
cytoskeletal keratin (the stuff our hair and fingernails are made from). That
would be expected if these fibers were just fine body hairs or fuzz, but what
was making them fluorescent?
Upon further examination, the fluorescent
properties were found to come from a soluble substance that contained proteins
from some very unusual organisms:
- a
protein found in cow's milk [casein alpha S1];
- a
bacteria found in sub-tropical water and soil [chromobacterium
violaceum];
- a
parasitic protozoa that causes East Coast Fever, usually transmitted
through ticks [theileria prava];
- a
rod shaped bacteria that is mobile by moving its flagellum and has been
studied extensively in laboratories because of its unusual metabolism [azoarcus]; and
- a
bacteria associated with fermentation that like salinity [leuconostoc mesenteroides]
All of these
organisms have had their DNA sequenced in the last decade, which is quite a
coincidence. But they should not have this fluorescent property! How did that
happen? And how did all these proteins come from the Morgellons lesions?
What's even more weird in that despite having
all these exotic proteins, there were no human protein profiles present
in the florescent substance!
The pink and blue fibers were analysed and were found to have the chemical profile of
polythene!
The analysis of these polythene fibers could
justify the claims that these Morgellons threads are little more than common
lint. But remember, the FBI lab could not match them to any known man-made
fibers. Since they are common to Morgellons lesions we should expect that they
would have a very well known origin.
The most enigmatic of the fibers are called
"goldenheads." The fibers are
frequently clear and sometimes hollow with a golden colored bulb on the end.
They resemble a hair follicle with an intact root.
When scientists examined these filaments they
discovered that they had an extremely high melting point -- about 1400F! They
also discovered that they contained cellulose. Cellulose is the structural
component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the
oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is
the most common organic compound on Earth. About 33 percent of all plant matter
is cellulose. The cellulose content of cotton is 90 percent and that of wood is
50 percent.
As stated earlier, Morgellons skin lesions
have been found to be covered by a biofilm. Biofilms are a kind of sticky
substance that acts like glue, sticking cells to eachother
or to some type of surface. The film of tartar that you find on your teeth in
the morning is a good example.
Cells that are stuck together with a biofilm
have an advantage over other cells in that the body's immune system cannot
easily penetrate this film to identify and kill them. Thus, an infection
covered by a biofilm can multiply and fester and even avoid the effects of
antibiotic agents.
Physicians are familiar with biofilms in the
human body and they represent a challenge when combating resistent
infectious diseases. Their appearance in Morgellons skin lesions is a mystery
and is the reason why these open wounds grow and spread.
|
It's alive! <center Electron
microscopy of the Morgellons filaments reveals that they are not simple solid
forms, rather, they are complex structures with internal structures. In some
laboratory experiments these fibers have been shown to re-assemble when they
are separated, to squirm and pulsate and even to reproduce. In the images above we see [A] a
1400x maginfication of some of the fibers collected
from a Morgellons lesion. Next [B] is the same specimen maginfied 5600x. The last [C] shows what appears
to be a bud forming on the side of a filament (5600x). "Budding"
structures are apparent on the sides of the fiber at occasional locations.
The budding structures contain internal structures at the roughly micron or
sub-micron size. Budding structures also often contain innumerable filaments
within, measuring apparently at the sub-micron level (Limit of equipment
reached). Reproduction and growth of the primary fiber structure may be
closely linked to these budding structures. The budding structures generally
appear to be quite complex in form, structure and organization. |
A Strange Brew
So far, if we
take the analyses of the fibers as fact, we have a trans-genetic substance that
is fluorescent and contains human, bovine (cow) and bacteria proteins,
mysterious and unidentifiable fibers made of polythene that stick through the
skin and causes its victims to constantly itch their wounds, and an almost
indestructible tube containing a biofilm substance that prevents the skin
lesions from healing. This nefarious disease has never been encountered before
and there is no known cause or cure. So what's next?
The CDC gets
involved... to kill further research!
Because of the
publicity that the Morgellons Research Foundation attracted, certain politicians
decided that it was politically valuable to at least appear sympathetic to this
cause. In early 2008 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced that it was
going to conduct an in-depth study of the disease through their association
with the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in California. Kaiser was chosen, according
to the CDC, because of the large population of California residents that
claimed to suffer from the symptoms.
At first there was a sigh of relief, thinking
that the full weight and knowledge of a government agency would be focused on
this disease. But that was soon shattered.
When details of the announcement were revealed
it was learned that the total budget for this study was just $300,000! Hardly
enough to pay the annual salary for laboratory staff. Further, it was revealed
that Kaiser had already been treating Morgellons patients but had given them
the diagnosis of Delusional Parasitosis. Kaiser was already biased and not the
best choice to investigate a disease already plagued by misdiagnoses.
Further proof that the study was a shill came
when the CDC posted a page on their official website devoted to the study (see www.cdc.gov/unexplaineddermopathy/).
After two years of questionable research the CDC states that they have learned
virtually nothing about the cause, whether or not it is contagious, whether or
not it is a new disease or how to treat it. Further, in their FAQ (Frequently Asled Questions) section they politely refuse to accept any
specimens, referrals or information from Morgellons researchers or victims!
One can only imagine that the $300,000 has
already been spent -- perhaps on the website -- and no report of any kind has
emerged. Matters are even worse because the head of the CDC has resigned and
the new head of the agency has shown no interest in Morgellons.
As anyone close to politics knows, the best
way to kill any project is to assign it for study and then underfund it. This
is blatantly what has happened with Morgellons. But why would a government
agency with a charter to prevent the outbreak and spread of disease want to
stop research of a horrible disease that effects tens of thousands of US
citizens? Could it have something to do with those fibers that were
fluorescent? The ones that obviously came from an organism that had been
trans-genetically tagged?
Chromobacterium violaceum --
"Bio-Weapon"?
Remember those
white fuzzy filaments that Morgellons victims often harvest from the surface of
their skin lesions? One of the tagged proteins that were fluorescent was
identified as belonging to Chromobacterium
Violaceum, an interesting bacteria found in
the water and soil of sub-tropical regions that produces an anti-oxidant called
violacein. This chemical has been getting lots of attention in
modern medicine and may be the clue to many deadly infections that resist the
body's immune system and antibiotics. It may also play a key role in
understanding why Morgellons currently has no cure.
The human immune system is made up of many
different types of cells. One vital cell, the phagocyte is a white blood
cell that protects the body by attacking and ingesting harmful foreign
particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells. They are essential for fighting
infections. One litre of human blood contains about
six billion phagocytes.
Phagocytes swim throughout the body, much like
amoebae. They are attracted to certain locations because of the presence of
bacteria which release certain chemicals that they can sense. They are also
attracted by the presence of other phagocytes and muster together to fight
infection. They usually kill bacteria by attacking their cell membranes and
oxidizing them.
Marine amoebae in nature eat bacteria much
like phagocytes. In fact, it is thought that amoebae and phagocytes have a
common evolutionary origin. It's usually a one-on-one battle with the amoeba
being the victor and the bacteria being the dinner. But occasionally, bacteria
do something very clever -- the mass together and form a bio-film that repels
and kills their predators.
The tactic is a little like a school of fish
where each individual fish is protected from attack by being surrounded by
others of its kind. The bacteria huddle together in the biofilm and thus
prevent the amoebae from destroying their cell walls. But with some marine
bacteria this biofilm does more than just protect -- it kills the attacker.
The bacteria utilise
a chemical weapon to achieve this. The molecule used by marine bacteria is the
pigment violacein. Marine biologists have observed this in action. Once
the defence system is ready, the biofilm shimmers a
soft purple colour because of the violacein. If the
attackers consume just a single cell of the biofilm -- and the violacein --
this paralyses the attackers momentarily and the violacein triggers a suicide
mechanism in the amoebae.
Scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for
Infection Research in Braunschweig have now identified violacein as one of the
fundamental mechanisms used by the bacteria in biofilms to protect themselves
against the attacking phagocytes in the human body. Like the marine organisms,
the presence of violacein is deadly to the human immune system and prevents it
from clearing infections from the body.
Since Chromobacterium
Violaceum, which produces violacein, has been found
in Morgellons skin lesions, along with the biofilm, it seems a no-brainer that
this is why Morgellons Disease resists healing and, in fact, spreads so
rapidly.
Don't forget that the proteins of Chromobacterium Violaceum were
apparently tagged to fluoresce by some trans-genetic laboratory. The complete
genome of this bacterium was published in 2003. This implies that they were
intentionally included in this witches brew!
The smoking gun
is found
Vitaly Citovsky is a professor of molecular and cell biology at
Stony Brook University in New York (SUNY). He is a world authority on the
genetic modification of cells by Agrobacterium, a soil bacterium
widely used in creating genetically modified (GM) plants since the 1980s. Agrobacterium
has the ability to invade a plant and then insert a large amount of its own DNA
sequence to growing cells in the plant which cause it to grow a tumor (called crown
gall disease) which then produces nutrition for the bacteria to grow and
proliferate.
When plants are being genetically modified
(corn for example), agrobacterium is manipulated to contain the new genes
(maybe to withstand some pest or fungus) and then is allowed to infect a
healthy specimen where these genes will be incorporated in the plants DNA. The
seeds of this infected plant will contain the new genetic information. Growing
a plant from the seeds will result in a genetically "new" plant. But
exactly the same process can occur when agrobacterium infects a human cell.
Imagine splicing plant or virus DNA in the
cells of your skin, or liver, kidneys or brain. What would the results be like?
Does this happen in Morgellons victims? Vitaly Citovsky
conducted a study:
Skin biopsy
samples from Morgellons patients were subjected to high-stringency polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) tests for genes encoded by the Agrobacterium chromosome
and also for Agrobacterium virulence (vir) genes and
T-DNA on its Ti plasmid. They found that "all
Morgellons patients screened to date have tested positive for the presence of
Agrobacterium, whereas this microorganism has not been detected in any of the
samples derived from the control, healthy individuals." Their preliminary
conclusion is that "Agrobacterium may be involved in the etiology and/or
progression" of Morgellons Disease.
In short, Agrobacterium was found to transfer
T-DNA into the chromosomes of human cells.
The association of Morgellons Disease with
dirt and soil where Agrobacterium lives, the widespread use of Agrobacterium in
genetic engineering of plants, and the ability of Agrobacterium to infect human
cells, all point towards a possible role of genetic engineering in the aetiology of Morgellans disease
via Agrobacterium.
Connecting the
dots
Let's summarize
what we have learned about the Morgellons laboratory findings.
We have seen that there are fluorescent
properties in some of the fibers and that these fluorescent substances contain
proteins from some highly unusual and non-human organisms. It is ironic (or
maybe not) that almost all of these exotic organisms have had their entire
genomes studied and published. This would be essential for any serious
trans-genetic manipulation. Indeed, these fluorescent proteins suggest that the
organisms that produced them were genetically manipulated and tagged in some
laboratory, for what purpose we do not know. The proteins come from some pretty
nasty things, including organisms that make biofilms and violacein -- both
which disable the human immune system, cause East Coast Fever and can insert
random genes in our human cells!
We see further evidence that Morgellons
victims test positive for Agrobacterium, a unique bacteria that is widely used
to genetically modify plants and which can genetically modify human cells.
Again there is the suggestion that a laboratory was involved in the origins of
this substance.
Whether it is by design or by accident, it is
apparent that Morgellons Disease was man made. The reluctance of the CDC
to take an active role in investigating this outbreak further suggests that, on
some level, the government -- or some highly influential corporation -- is
culpable.
Meanwhile people are suffering, committing
suicide and spreading the disease to family members and their neighbors. There
is no known cure and the disease eventually causes physical and mental
disabilities.
The most affected regions are California,
Texas and Florida. Despite the suggestion that victims seem to have worked with
soil or gardening (and must have come in contact with Agrobacterium that way),
the two major occupations of Morgellons victims are nurses and teachers. Urban
areas have more cases than rural areas. There have been confirmed cases in
cats, dogs and horses. By all parameters, Morgellons is already pandemic.
Yet the CDC is silent. No study, no report, no
excuse. Just silence.
DANGER- ALERT! I received an e-mail from a reader who
informed me that a woman named Nancy Burson appears
to be selling a product called "Extra Celestial" Water on her
website: www.nancyburson.com. We're
not sure what this water contains but there is a description of
"crystals" and "extra celestial" DNA that has been found in
Nancy's body fluids. She shows photographs of these artifacts here -- www.nancyburson.com/pages/crystal.html
and makes reference to Morgellons Disease.
We certainly hope that she is not selling any
substance which has been in contact with her body or bodily fluids and we
caution anyone who should ingest or apply this "water" for fear that
it might contain Morgellons cells or products.
Further, the water is being sold (some vials
cost $125 USD) as an ingested cure for a variety of illnesses and conditions.
This should be investigated by the US FDA since any claims of this sort
constitute a drug and come under their regulation.
We'll keep you posted on this. The last thing
we need is to spread Morgellons.
