Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hopefully this will address the recent questions that were asked.

Virginia – I would suspect that agrobacterium has been used in the creation of detergent enzymes because most of the manufacturers of these enzymes seem proud that they have used GMOs to create the enzymes (which kind of implies that agrobacterium has been used). Of course they also assure us that only the pure, wholesome goodness of the desired end product is contained in the actual enzymes. Although I don’t think detergent enzymes would be a ‘root” cause of Morgellons, I would imagine they could potentially be an added irritant in Morgellons cases (I think what has become known as Morgellons is systemic in nature and likely involves a combination of things - the skin problems are a big part though). Here’s a link to a manufacturer that seems proud they use GMOs for this:

Novozymes - Detergent enzymes

Kritts – of course I've noted your opinions on parasites and thanks for the kind words. These scientists (and I use the term loosely) are truly playing with something they have no real understanding of as far as the overall ramifications and impacts on humans of the monstrosities they are creating be it with nematodes, bacteria, viruses or anything else. Even worse, they truly don’t appear to have any concern of the consequences of their carelessness and ignorance as long as they can make lots of money. And doctors are so far behind the learning curve on these new, genetic “cans of worms” (no pun intended, or maybe it is), I think they truly have no idea of the possible problems people are dealing with medically now because of these vain attempts by ignorant scientists (that don’t realize how ignorant they are) to pretend they are God. NOBODY really knows the true impact of all this genetic experimentation, but anybody with a functioning brain cell knows that much if not most of it likely isn’t a good thing in the overall scheme of things.

Hilly – here are a few links that note that nematodes are becoming resistant to ivermectin and that some apparently already are resistant to ivermectin and other drugs like albendazole. Although scientists are basically unsure as to why they are becoming resistant, some believe that it is simply exposure to ivermectin from animal treatments that is creating this resistance. Others think that some nematodes have a genetic mutation that makes them resistant (one of the links below notes that some nematodes that are supposedly the same species have this genetic mutation while others don’t – which makes me wonder if they actually are the same species ……. the mutation might indicate that they aren’t the same species it seems to me). But, whatever the reasons, the fact is that parasites are getting harder to kill with the treatments available today. The articles generally discuss treatments on animals, but I’m quite sure that the same principles would apply to humans:

IVERMECTIN RESISTANCE IN STRONGYLES OF SHEEP IN OYO STATE NIGERIA USING A LARVAL DEVELOPMENT ASSAY

Here’s an excerpt from the link directly above: Resistance to anthelmintics in a range of sheep gastrointestinal helminths has been reported from several countries (4). Resistance has been reported most frequently in Haemonchus contortus and it can involve benzimidazole, salicynilides, levamizole, morantel and ivermectin. In Europe, resistance in sheep nematodes has been reported from several countries including France (5). Ivermectin resistant Haemonchus contortus in Louisiana lambs in U.S.A. (6), and benzimidazole resistant to stronglyes of sheep in Nigeria (7) have been reported.

Here’s a couple of links noting resistance to albendazole:

Doramectin and albendazole resistance in sheep in The Netherlands

Increase in anthelmintic resistance.

Scientists are supposedly working on new ways to kill them though, so keep a stiff upper lip as Sir Winston used to say (never figured that one out - seems like a stiff upper lip would be painful).

Brenda – of course I remember you (sent ya a pm)
