Hi Dzana,

I wish I knew what we were dealing with as far as involved parasites. It would be wonderful if we did know what was involved. I have seen nematodes (along with other parasites), but whether everyone has nematodes or not that is the question which remains unanswered. Dr. Harvey, when he was studying patients with morgellons, seemed to find more than one type of parasite involved in his patients. And I think his early reports mentioned that he only found them in about 50% of patients.

I know what you meant about weird shaped bug like critters. I am not sure those are alive, or at least not in the way we mean alive. I know it has puzzled some researchers who have even declared there are no parasites involved with Morgellons (I would say they are wrong in my own case). Parasite testing is pretty primitive and more parasites are missed than are diagnosed. Also parasites run in cycles. Test when they are not cycling in the body or test the stool when they are in the blood and bingo. No parasites. Then, too, what if there are parasites involved for which there is no test? The people who order tests and the people who run the tests only test for what is ordered and ignore anything which does not look like what they are testing for.

As I get better lately with some TCM herbs to clear the intestines, large and small, I see less of what I call mysterious debris. I am feeling better lately and hope this is not just the lull before the next squall.
