Hey Franky, and thanks I am feeling some better, after resting today.
I guess the conference was very structered. They followed the program all except the female dermatologist didn't make it. Her presentation was made, I think by her remotely. She is very disturbed by her chosen profession, her colleagues, at their ignorance of what is happening.
There was an awful lot of patients, or victims, that did talk to each other, and compare symptoms, and of course lesions and scars. I would have to say that probably 75% of the people that are patients seemed to have very similar symptoms. There was probably several that actually do have some other illness, whether it be physical or mental.
There wasn't much news presented to us that we weren't aware of. The only thing that seemed to be unexpected was Mark Darrah's presentation. He said that they do not think agrobacterium is involved, and seemed to be leaning towards different proteins. He didn't go into detail over much. He actually used the word "gooh", and "stuff", and "wax" quite often. It seemed very generic.
I will say that I was told that he had only had the samples he used for his presentation for about two weeks.
He showed several pictures of the fibers, as well as normal hairs, and pointed out the differences. For instance the fibers were hollow. Some of the structures were segmented, as if they were shed skin off of a worm.
He made the statement about alot of the slides that they were of "importance" and needed to be studied more carefully.
Dr. Greg Smith was very passionate in his presentation, and didn't use the overhead screens. He is very disturbed about the medical profession and the way they treat patients today. I felt like I was at a revival while he was speaking. My heart hurt for him, because it is very obvious that he is a very sick man. He also stood up while Mark Darrah was making his presentation, and defended him from the
bardment of questions that started very soon after he started his presentation. Cindy Casey actually got up and ask everyone to allow him to finish his presentation without any other interuptions.
I am sorry to say that I had to leave before question and answers. It is still very hard for me to accept the way the "family, friend member" of mine that went with me acted. It made it so hard to concentrate on the speakers.
Ginger Savely and Ralph Strickler made very well laid out presentations on how and why they are treating their Morgellons patients. Ginger Savely actually gave her standard protocol, and the results of the patients she has treated, some 300 now. She said thay she did an analasis of 44 Morgellon patients, and 43 of those patients tested positive for Lyme.
I can't remember which speaker said it, but they said that aproximatly 95% of their patients tested positive for Cpn.
I feel so bad that I can't give more information, but I do know that the whole convention was professionally recorded, and will be available the 1st of May, at cost. Maybe I will be able to get more from it, as I can view it undisturbed.
One of my highlights was getting to meet Jonsi. She is a great lady, and we went and ate dinner after the convention.
I haven't had the opportunity to speak with the girl that was with us about the reception. I am going to be talking to her tomorrow. She will have alot of information to share.
I hope that this is just a little more informative than earlier posts. I will try to get with her and post some more info tomorrow.
If it takes a little longer please understand that I have a grandson, the apple of my eye, that is very sick with a very high fever right now, and we may have to take him to Le Bonner Hospital tomorrow. I would appreciate all of your prayers for him.
