Re: Nutritional factors can cause Morgellons symptoms from my experience I have a question 2mf and Michelle--do you think that if a chitinase enzyme could be made to take internally it might help dissolve the morgellons chitin (which I am assuming is that tough biofilm it is putting out)? I know that research has made some progress in developing chitinase products to dissolve the chitin exoskelton in bugs found on plants. Made from earthworms. The Chinese use earthworms in some of their herbal medicine (di long--wicked nasty taste and smell, esthetics not great either). I do not believe using TCM earthworm formulas alone would be concentrated enough to dissolve all the chitin generated by this sydrome--seems like an enzyme to take and one in a spray to put on the skin might help. Probably we do not have enough chitinase enzyme in our bodies or maybe not the right chitanase enzyme (evidently more than one chitinase enzyme). Here are two intriguing references: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6575435.stm http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/MeetingAb...102195679.html
So this may be why the enzyme products we are using are not totally dissolving this stuff. Sure hope this is looked into when people start to figure out what morgellons is. Is the question we should be asking of everyone the following: Do you have any known allergies? Especially to any type of mold (though not limited to it)? Maybe just having a tendancy towards allergies would make one more genetically suseptible to morgellons, as it could indicate a deficient enzyme state in the body.
best,
