SS,

I guess you really don’t read thoroughly then. As far as I know Morgellons Watch is now inactive, if not defunct, as a site. While I do not agree with them that Morgellons does not exist, I do feel that asking people to act in a rational rather than an emotional manner when discussing Morgellons would help to forward the cause of this affliction. It is just such unproven, unscientific information conducted by less than qualified research scientists which makes us all look like a bunch of kooks, especially when venturing into the totally unexplored area of nano technology and its “bugs.” This is an area which would definitely require a qualified researcher to have anyone look at it seriously.

SS, I do not question whether you have Morgellons and never will, but apparently you feel that insulting another forum member by insinuating s/he is not sick is fair game. It is, however, not a rational rebuttal to the points I have presented. In fact it is not even an opposing viewpoint, but simply lies there as mud slinging. Congratulations.

I am asking and will continue to ask for scientific research to be presented about Morgellons nano bugs, especially clinical research. I have heard many assertions from people, some of whom you mention, but so far, other than Dr. Harvey, Dr.Stricker and Savely nothing has been published in any reputable scientific journal about Morgellons. None of it is clinical research. Asking for facts about Morgellons nano bugs does not mean I support Morgellons Watch. I am all too keenly aware that it is easy to fool people who are sick and that includes me which is why I think it is important to have valid, scientific sources of information. I do not see that asking for correctly conducted research and credentials which are verifiable is “picking apart the fringes ,and ignore the big picture.”

The reason I bother (bother?) to talk about this issue is I truly feel people should become aware of different ideas. They hopefully will question sources of information, as without doing this anybody can tell anyone anything. It will be believed without question. There are a lot of holes in Morgellons nano bug information so far, most of which needs to be answered by scientifically conducted research.

Quote from Jo:

"SS this was gonna happen hey- especially with TC terrier on the case! (no offence TC, hope you're good)"

Jo, frankly, my dear, I don't care what you call me (I would like this to be closer to what Rhett said but it would be censored here and therefore sounds a bit milder in this online version). I will continue to ask for information which makes some kind of scientific sense when it comes to Morgellons. So far I have seen little of that except from too few in the field or on the forum.

If you disregard every bit of research by finding ANYTHING to discredit them, then there is nothing to talk about and we might just as well hang it up. Why even bother if nobody seems to satisfy your "standards". Pick apart the fringes, and ignore the big picture.
I prefer to support these efforts and I put my money where my mouth is and donate for research.
You sound like you write for Morgellons Watch.
