Hey TCM – regarding your question about the possibility of antibiotics still being present in GM plants, I think they probably are (along with the agrobacterium that they were supposedly used to kill). Although I have found nothing to indicate either way definitively, I would guess that these “scientists” would claim that there were no antibiotics left behind. But these same people claim that there is no agrobacterium left behind either (just as Dr. Citovsky claimed in the article I referenced at the start of this thread despite testing proving that agrobacterium actually is present in many if not most cases). Apparently he has much more confidence than I do that currently accepted processes for “killing” agrobacterium are actually followed properly, and that these processes actually work for killing ALL the agrobacterium (which the processes do NOT work according to the link I referenced in a previous post).

I’m certainly no conspiracy theorist, but I have found a few things to be quite odd as I’ve thought about the article from World Net Daily (WND) and the statements made by Dr. Citovsky. One thing is the timing of this article. Is it really coincidental that Mark Darrah lost access to the lab at SUNY only a few days before this article was published? This was an “exclusive” for WND and there was really no new information regarding Morgellons other than disagreement about the cause between scientists (which really isn’t news). I personally wonder if Dr. Citovsky didn’t initiate the interview (and thereby the publication) of this article as a means to deny the potential involvement of GMOs. This would seem strange to me if he did initiate this since there was no new information presented except for a very strong denial from him that GM crops could possibly be involved – and the only thing I’ve seen recently that even indicated that possibility was an article out of the UK and Mark Darrah’s work with the Raman graphs. Dr. Citovsky’s statements seem a bit “overstated” based on this if there wasn’t some truth to the possibility of GMOs being in play here. It seems like his denial was much stronger than any accusations made regarding GMOs. I think a quote from Shakespeare might apply here: “Me thinks thou dost protest too much”.

Another thing is that Dr. Citovsky seemed downright antagonistic towards Morgellons sufferers in this interview. I hadn’t noticed that antagonistic tone or attitude in his previous interviews on the subject. It seems strange to me that he suddenly sees Morgellons sufferers as “complainers” and claims that it is “sheer lunacy” to think that it would even be possible for the agrobacterium used in genetically modifying organisms to have any potential for being a cause of Morgellons – especially when he was the one that said agrobacterium could well be a cause of Morgellons. He has tried to make a link to people being exposed to dirt, but I would suspect that not every Morgellons sufferer has had any significant contact with actual soil or dirt where agrobacterium was present.

This also made me wonder about how agrobacterium has recently been found in and on intravenous catheters in Intensive Care patients. Generally ICUs are a relatively sterile environment and the nurses and doctors that would be handling these catheters would be wearing latex gloves and would be fairly sterile themselves. Exactly how does agrobacterium get in or on an intravenous catheter at the implantation site? The only logical explanation I see is that the agrobacterium came from the patient’s own body! Have all the people that have had this occur also been “digging in the dirt” (as Dr. Citovsky and others have implied recently)? I think the chances are much higher that they have all eaten GM food since it has permeated the food supply like it has, and the GM food may be the source of the agrobacterium.

I also wondered about the estimate of half a million people too KarenAnne. It seems like he knows (or at least suspects) more than is being let on my most people to me (it could be speculation, but it might not be either). There are reports of Morgellons everywhere in the US (not just the 3 “hot spots” so often mentioned) and more and more people in the UK and other parts of Europe and Canada are reporting it as well. One thing all these countries have in common is that GM foods have been allowed into the food supply in the last 15 years or so. The more I look at all these things, and the more I read about the international approval NON-process for allowing GM foods into the food supplies with NO testing (google "GM food substantially equivalent" if you really want to see how little is known (and ever will be known) about the impact of GMOs on health), the more I think there really may be something to the possibility that GM foods are causing numerous medical conditions including Morgellons in people.
