I know I have a petri growing out fungus. And yes, I believe that is the starting point. The toxins fungii can produce open the door to everything else, internal or from the environment but shutting down or compromising multiple pathways in our bodies. I know I do not expect to get any better without killing the fungus and chelating the toxins out, and the rest will follow.

I am in full agreement here.
In my case, I returned from a trip from the tropics. We had stayed in a hotel room there where the air conditioning had not been working properly, and the room smelled moldy/mildewy... I did not feel right upon returning from that trip. The doc thought it was a sinus infection. It may have been, but it certainly wasn't bacterial... After 3 rounds of antibiotics, I was left with a severe, systematic candida infection and my M symptoms came a few weeks after that... What I have found out since then:
- my thyroid is not working properly according to blood testing.
- my liver pathways are not working properly. My phase I pathway is too fast and my phase II pathway is too slow. This can allow toxins to accumulate in the body and cause damage.
- I am suffering from several food intolerances, which is keeping my immune system busy and causing redness and rashes on my skin.
- Stool tests indicate low pancreatic enzymes and an overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria and *Saprophytic fungi* in my digestive tract.
- My skin symptoms have improved only because I've attacked the yeast/fungus that is overgrown there through applying essential oils, barley treatments, etc. The fungus gnats and springtails are gone because I've reduced the amount of yeast/fungus on my skin and killed them off if my environment. Fungus gnats and springtails are attracted to fungus. I no longer have problems attracting these bugs.
We may be suffering from parasites specific to morgellons, but I believe these to be opportunistic and not necessarily the culprit.....The lint and fibers that are in my environment are everywhere but not everyone is affected by it.
My body broke down somehow in order to be susceptable to this mold/fungus/yeast overgrowth. My husband was exposed to the same environment as me, but he is not sick.
I still have more heavy metal testing to do. My hair test showed high in some metals, but the doc says a metal challenge test is a better indicator for some other metals like mercury....
