I wonder what your thoughts are regarding PH - it would seem that any type of marine life wouldn't thrive in a more acidic PH, but M seems to. Also, it would seem marine life would prefer a salty environment, yet most who try the salt/vit c protocol seem to improve from it. |
Hey Howie, I would like to clarify my current position or theory in this matter, while I still believe that in many individuals the entity manifests itself as a bryozoan type organism, particularly in Nancy's case, I now believe that the core of the entity aligns more with the sponge, in fact I believe that the entire bryozoan phylum, Ectoprocta, is a product of the sponge. Bryozoans were one of the only organisms that didn't suddenly appear during the Cambrian Explosion, an era some 535 million years ago, it began to show up in fossil evidence some time later. The bryozoan and sponge are extremely similar, in fact even the experts cannot sometimes tell them apart, to the best of my knowledge one of the primary differences is that bryozoans have some organs where as sponges don't. This can make a huge difference in one respect inparticular, the ability to completely disassociate it's cells and then reaggregate them, in other words, the sponge and the placozoans are, again to the best of my knowledge, the only organisms on the planet that can literally disassemble themselves down to individual cells while each cell still maintains life and is able to act on their own, they can then put themselves back together, each cell re-aquiring the same position amongst the others that it held before disassembly, this IMO is absolutely incredible and clearly places these organisms in a league of their own. I also believe this trait is evident with the morgellons entity which is why, IMO, there can really be no other answer to the morgellons puzzle, it simply has to be an organism with this capability, there are several reasons why I say this and would be happy to go into it if anyone is interested.
As far as salinity, yes everything in the marine environment has to live in salinity to one degree or another but that window is not very wide, raising it or lower it even slightly will kill much of the life that lives in a marine environment, some organisms are designed to handle greater variables but this is not true with most organisms.
As far as pH, again certainly there must be a window that the organism must live in I just have no idea what that window is and I admit I have not spent much time researching this area.
One thing I want to point out, and this is true with both the bryozoan as well as the sponge, adaptability is probably one of their strongest traits, they seem to be able to make whatever changes necessary in order to survive. Just as an example of this I will reference one of the most incredible studies that I have ever come across, it was I believe regarding bryozoans but don't quote me on that because it might have been sponges but it was one or the other. The colony resided in a body of water that saw little to no wave action, the wave action is necessary for the offspring to be dispursed some distance from the original colony so that they don't contend for the same space. So the colony created it's own wave, just like a stadium wave at a football game, this allowed the offspring to drift away from the original colony, now that's improvising.
