No, these things are embedded in the skin, like a part of the skin, incorporated into it. I can see the outline of their bodies on some of the lesions, because of the darkened pigment and swelling.
I finally bought a digital camera and then it disappeared (I think my babysitter stole it, those young kids love those little gadgets) - I have to choose my battles, but am not happy with that scenario.
Anyway, now I have bought another one (almost $350), and being technically challenged, am in the process of reading how to post videos and maybe get some pictures on here.
But in the meantime the bananas have been working their enzyme-wonder and have eaten out craters (deep ulcers) where I believe the fungus is on the skin. It's sort of like putting maggots on an infection and they only eat the infection, not the healthy skin. These lesions that I've had for 9 months, MAY actually heal, but it ain't over til it's over. I think the chitanase breaks down the cell walls of the fungus and possibly the nematode cuticle as well.
I am not upset in any way with those who don't believe me, or think my methods are unscientific. I never claimed to use scientific methods in the first place. I simply used my observations as a rational person to describe what I see. I don't think it would be up to me to try to prove any scientifically as I don't know the methodology nor do I have the equipment. I do plan on investing in a microscope, however, but don't believe I could use the correct procedures to eliminate the possibilities of a "contaminated" result.
I do know an specialist in internal medicine (an M.D.) but she is afraid that being around me might infect her family.
I feel the best approach to a definitive answer to what causes Morgellons would be to try to get the funds (from where I don't know, but I believe it warrants discussion) to hire independent researchers.
How can we try to raise funds for research? Ideas, anyone?
A lot of people on this forum are criticizing others for using "unscientific" methods. We need a researcher who is not emotionally involved, IMO.
Sincerely,
