Cliff Mickelsons' theory on Bt cotton is sounding more feasible these days as a source of fibers related to this condition in light of the following:



Morgellons Explanation, cause. at Morgellons Disease Support

A poster on the above link- believes the condition is about the Textile Industry.

While I agree that is most likely a part (a source) of the fibers, the other
sources of PCBs and remediation products in our air/water/soil contribute greatly
as well.

Still, this area should not be overlooked.

Excerpt:

Other fabric designs will be studied subsequent to the hollow fiber based fabric. Polylaminate
fabrics will be explored. The construction of bio-active poly-laminate fabrics is fairly
straightforward. A variety of gas permeable shell fabrics will be used to contain bacterial layers.

Experience in the incorporation of micro-electronics into fabrics indicates that poly-laminate
construction may be fairly fragile. On the other hand the poly-laminate design would allow for
massive numbers of bacteria to be incorporated into a single fabric which may lead to a very high level of function.

Excerpt:

Our Harvard Medical School collaborators have engineered and isolated two strains of
bacteria that we will use to quantify bacterial function in hollow fibers and bio-active fabrics.
The first strain of bacteria is bioluminescent because we have introduced the plasmid pCGLS1
which encodes the lux operon. The lux operon is a cluster of genes, (luxCDABE) isolated from
the nematode symbioant bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. In addition to the enzyme
responsible for bioluminescence (luciferase), this operon also encodes the biosynthetic enzymes

for the proper substrate, thus addition of exogenous substrate is not necessary to generate the
bioluminescent signal and the bacteria can be quantitated and viewed in real time.
The second strain of bacteria that we are using is fluorescent because we have introduced
the plasmid, pGFP-5 that expresses a gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP). The GFP
gene was originally isolated from the jelly fish Aequorea victoria.

More on the subject:

From my (old) post at LB-

Just reading about Cyanobacterium Synechocystis- which can account for the

process going on in our bodies.

Excerpt:
Cyanobacteria are model microorganisms for the study of photosynthesis, carbon and nitrogen assimilation, evolution of plant plastids, and adaptability to environmental stresses.
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is one of the most highly studied cyanobacterium as it can grow both autotrophically or heterotrophically in the absence of light. It was isolated from a freshwater lake in 1968 and is easily transformed by exogenous DNA. The photosynthetic apparatus is very similar to the one found in plants. This organism also exhibits phototactic movement.

Cyanobacterium Synechocystis would explain the sugar chain that Dr Citovsky

found-

It would explain the biofilm- per Daniel Van Eeden

The process that it creates, would explain the fermentation in our bodies

that draws all manner of insects.

It would explain the solvent-like substances that Hilde Staninger found.

It (Cyanobacterium Synechocystis) is related to Brain fog (Alzheimers/Mad

Cow)-

Most of all- it would explain the fact that there is a process- that leads

to fermentation- going on in our bodies.

It serves as a microbial catalyst for celluosic ethanol production-

breaking down cellulose, fermenting same, and then consolidating in a

single step:

Fermentation products include propanol, propionate, acetate** and lactate

WOW- I haven't read all this yet but am impressed with all the info you all have/found which is out there about fabric.

I haven't had a good night's sleep for a few days now so I don't know if I can read all of these right now. When I'm overtired, reading can nauseate me.

I started using GSE on my scalp and parts of my face. It causes these small white things to come out of my skin. Mostly, to be able to see this, I use my 15x magnified morror.

WHAT ARE THESE WHITE THINGS?

And it is disolving fake skin, plaque, biofilm or whatever it is. The "skin" from the top of both ears, on the backsides and to the head appears to be disolving or something from the GSE. At first it feels like there is a sore
behind my ears and I looked this morning and was able to remove what was like mush. Kinda white and yellowish white.

I forget what it's called when opposite sides of the body in the same spot are affected but I know this is just like Fibro is. I a beginning to wonder if this all ties in with Fibro. If I had to make a guess or give my opinion, I would say yes.

I've only had this illness a bit over 2 months. (Although I have had CFS and similar on and off many times.)

I know in my case 100% the cotton is a big factor. I think we all have varieties of the same thing but with different places of exposure, etc.

In my case I think my weakened immune system and exposure to PCBs and other things led to it.

Here's what happened:
After I started having these symptoms I got a microscope right away because what I was seeing did not match any type of mite, parasite, etc per the medical, pesticide, and biology community. With the microscope I saw it was Morgellon's although I dismissed it initially because most of the sites call it a skin disease and I think that is completely incorrect, merely a symptom.

Well, I had been buying new clothes to wear each day, living in a hotel, and taking non-stop baths/showers because everything at my home was covered in the bugs, even stuff I had never worn. One night I did not have pants and voila! no crawling in that area.

A day later I was wearing a new tight pant and started getting what felt like horrific electric shocks etc to the point of nausea and almost passing out. when I looked inside the pants it was covered with the long loose black threads I was finding in everything, plus there were one or two long white threads, and one pink and one light blue. I did not know how it had already happened because I just put those on. I started pulling them off and then I found what seemed to be electric wires that could shock me. I saw the threads moving.

I kept pulling stuff off and flushing it down the toilet. One of the wire things held on to the fabric so strongly it took all my strength to finally dislodge it. I put those in plastic and got another brand new pair of the same pant out. when I looked inside it was covered in them too. The wire ones seemed to glow and be electric.

I thought I was crazy at that point. But as I kept checking every few hours I saw the threads disassemble and start to form into the cocoons, etc. All the while I kept googling things on the Internet.

Almost without exception EVERY PHRASE I GOOGLED PULLED UP PATENTS AND RESEARCH PROJECTS ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED. I realized not only is btCotton very widespread, it is not being properly sterilized. People in China where they use of the GM cottons is widespread already started coming up with this disease before us. In addition to the bt there have been all kinds of experimental cottons with dangerous bacteria.

Over the next few days I started only wearing 100% polyester which is almost impossible to find. It helps immensely. I try to only keep the towels on me for a moment when I was and quickly get the cotton off me.

Weirdly one time recently I was drying and as I pulled the towel down my arm 2 football shaped cotton balls appeared, balancing on the tip. It was freakish looking. I was too tired to even deal with it so I tried to brush them right off with the towel. They pulled up about an inch and then popped right back balancing on my hairs. (I know most of my hairs have the nematodes in them so that explains that.)

Anyway, I came to a conclusion and later found Cliff and one other guy who have somewhat similar ideas.

In my case my weakened immune system, PCB exposure etc. somehow made me susceptible to the nematodes. All along I have felt they are also GM. That is the only way to explain some of the things they are doing. Plus the glow factor makes GM more likely.

I think I contracted it by catching lice at the public library. Maybe the lice ate a ball of nematode eggs in the water and they hatched on my head, making me the preferred host. I dont know - Im just guessing about that part.

Well, the worms started eating all the cotton in my clothes. In some cases they prefer the thread from the seams. So in all of the new clothes I bought the seems are coming out. (That explains why I would continually check the inside and outside of all my clothes, and then pull of the balls and threads, and then an hour or so later there were more.)

As the nematodes built the nests, they kept putting them in all the crevices in my body and in my head. It looked like they would disassemble the thread - add some chemical or chew it - them roll it into the cocoons.

So I know I have all those bacteria in my body. The btCotton one is in the anthrax family. I did not find as much info about bt yet, but anthrax has colored rods etc which is similar to what I am seeing in the microscope.

I also feel confident I have other bacteria as I pulled up info showing growers and researchers are using other types as well.

In the case of both the GM bacterium and the GM nematodes naysayers will insist these things are species specific and are 100% harmless to humans. Nevertheless I found at least 2 documented cases where these "species specific" things transferred over.

I believe the nematodes and the bacteria are also using the proteins and collagen, etc in my body as they attempt to thrive. So now my immune system sees them as part of me, making it harder to remove.

I have seen the bacteria doing CREEPY things. It is programmed to give off some type of scent to attract the pests (explaining why I am a bug magnet now). Once certain conditions are right it attacks. I think the way it attacks depends on the bacteria. I have read most just explode in the bugs stomach.

That would explain a horrific thing that was happening. At night, I would feel a nematode on my hand for example, running all around in circles, and then BAM! It was like I was electrocuted or like a chemical reaction explosion. Then I would see a new freckle. I kept thinking I was imagining all these new freckles, but one night a bit ago I tested it and caught it happening. I was able to almost remove part of the spot by immediately putting grapefruit seed extract on it. But it is still there - very small.

Now I believe - if you feel frenzied running/itching brush them off with your hand fast. They are getting ready to explode and then you get even more of the poison bacterium. Each time it happened I was drastically sick if there were more than one.

I have what I found out is a biofilm. It comes from inside my nose and spreads over my nose. I keep trying to scrape it off.

I feel this is also from the GM cottons. What happened was various things were hatching in my head. I have video and pics. At one point little white jelly balls - very tiny - and slightly bigger rice grain shape ones - but smaller than rice - seemed to crawl out of my hair and into my face. I would have them in and around my eyes and nose when I woke up. I would feel something on my face, go look in the mirror and sometimes see them. sometimes I found suspicious looking thicker skin which I scraped off hard! Other times I found only drops of water - strange because I had not been around water.

Each time I saw them I would remove them. At one point I found one long one on my hair. I tried to grab it and I swear it RAN the other way. But I caught it. then it changed - got more rice like and stuck to my fingers. I tried to scrape it on a card using a business card. When you do that they meld with the edge of the card so you can barely see them. I kept scraping and finally got it on the card to take it to the microscope. Then it seemed to be growing bigger. Suddenly it was only a drop of water. I looked in the microscope and you could see a little fiber embedded in the card that seemed to have come from this release - like a spore process. I found out this is a type of process used with some of these bacteria.

I also have a video of one before it exploded. And it is scary looking inside - lots of fibers and wrapped up looking wires, etc.

After I started on a heavy antibiotic these things have lessened although I still have to keep scraping the biofilm. It is very important not to let it set for long.

I think the process used in GM has genetically given these things the ability to GM with me. It is sickening, but I think they are part me - little monster offsprings.

The cotton probably wont be as dangerous to people with healthy immune systems. But you can imagine facing up to something like this would have a devastating effect on the entire world economy!!! A NIGHTMARE effect! No one is going to want to do this, and certainly heavy lobbyists from the cotton organization/s, and even leaders from countries who export would be against this.

It APPEARS to me there is less Morgellons in the UE countries where GM is banned. However, Germany I THINK has a bit more and that is an area where supposedly some experimental GM things were released.

Oh also, I went back to the initial store where I had bought those pants, and sure enough the inside of all of them were covered in the stuff. That variety seems to shock me a bit.

I also have noticed the nematodes at many other stores, at my gyms, Starbucks, etc. I went to the public library and each table I tried to sit at had the little white wires, the exoskeletons and white dots. The last table I tried actually had a nematode right there wiggling and facing me.

I think I am seeing two different varieties of nematode. But one has a chameleon ability and changes to look like the fiber or skin it is on. If I am itching i start brushing the area hard and try to get them off. I have types that are big and dark and easy to see. But the littler ones are clear, or the color they are on, some are only as big as an eyelash and thinner than a hair strand. Last night I looked and looked at an itching spot and could not see them, but finally I turned my hand the right angle and saw it - so tiny and barely visible, but right there.

Sorry this is so long. But ABSOLUTELY the cotton is a huge part of it for at least some of us. BTW, even in the poly if there is cotton thread or elastic they try to eat it out. You can watch your clothes progressively deteriorate. They especially love to keep pulling the threads out of the seams.

OK... now that I've left a book I will stop. If any of these symptoms sound like things you are seeing experiment with the cotton and the brushing/scraping. You will notice a difference if it is a factor for you. Be careful though - even with the poly somehow after walking around the hem of my pants was COVERED in nematodes.
