Were the beans just fungus? (as per Realitycheck)

[Venetia]

Funny you should mention Osteo, Steve. I have Osteo and an image of the damage to the bones does look a lot like your sponge!

PS Ok- how do you get rid of these things?

Steve,

Thanks so much for presenting this. It comes at perfect timing, I think....new researchers, open minds....hopefully it can be incorporated now into a major think tank project. How do we put it all together? do you see any connection with anything the others have presented lately? do you see any connection with herpes, fungi, mycoplasma fermentans? What about the fibers? Lyme?

I don't know if this matters or not, but I've mentioned I had read an article stating anyone who uses a loofah to slough their skin in a bath risks awakening the 'dried' organisms and can incorporate them into their skin/bodies.

Nancy and I wrote each other about having the same beans that had to be plucked or the lesion wouldnt heal,the lesion would bleed lots of thin watery blood, then like turning off a faucet would stop. At that point it would heal. Baking soda helped clean out the top layers in order to get to the root or bean or plug........ These are my best pictures of the famous BEANS! I have pictures of 146 different beans from my body!

A few more for your viewing.......

Unfortunately Venetia I don't have that answer, in fact I believe that this organism is so intermingled with the human body that it is most likely part of our genome, it may even be the origin of mitochondria. I realize this is not something anyone would want to hear but I honestly lean in that direction. I have researched a good number of illnesses that affect humans with this idea in mind and virtually every disease I look at I can see correlations with the sponge, the only thing that is always missing is foreign DNA, which explains why Science doesn't recognize it as a foreign organism and which leads me to believe one of three options, that either the entity is somehow hiding it's DNA, it's DNA is already a part of our genome therefore it wouldn't show up as being foreign, or the entity has no DNA of it's own, this is of course a remote possibility considering the nature of the theory, IMO option two is most likely. Why or how or when the entity manifests itself is probably dependent on a significant number of factors, which I could only begin to speculate on a few of them, maybe at one end of the spectrum are the chemicals we dump into the ocean, maybe at the other end is what you eat for breakfast.

Thanks for the answer Steve- I'm going to see what I can learn about them.

Bryozoan (Tubifex Worms)

Tubifex Worms


Fair use


Bryozoan

RALEIGH It looks like blob of wriggling pudding staring out through a single, puckered eye.

Excerpt:
You can see it caught on camera, clinging to the concrete pipes below Raleigh's Cameron Village: the Sewer Monster.It's really a colony of prehistoric creatures known either as bryozoans or moss animalcules, thousands of wormlike animals, biologists report.

Clustered together in a glistening mass, they feed through tentacles on whatever floats past.

More common in ponds, they have turned up in a set of sanitary sewer pipes under one of the country's oldest shopping centers.

Living in a 6-inch sewer main, the clusters of worms are about the size of a golf ball, estimates Ed Buchan, an environmental coordinator with the city.

But the video footage, captured with a tiny snakelike camera, makes the monster appear at man-eating size to viewers watching at home.

That may explain why a two-minute video tour of the Sewer Monster's lair has spread across the Web like flesh-eating bacteria, prompting nationwide cries of horror and disgust."Mystery Life Form in NC Sewer!" read one headline, followed by this comment: "It looks like meat.

Video here: ( I did see this before at other links- didn't know it was a Bryozoan ! )

Interesting tid-bit- in Michigan- they train staff to ID- slime and films and bryozoans.....

Training to include recognition of naturally occurring
phenomena and their sources (bacterial sheens,
slimes and films, bryozoans, pollen, blue-green
algae and green algae, tannins and foams)

Nancy Chamberlin, better known as "Chester" (this was actually the name of one of her beloved dogs) is the author of the thread titled "Hanging out inside the lesion". Her contribution to the research of morgellons is unparalleled and I personally believe that if and when this controversy ever gets resolved her name should be one included in the history books. With over 33,000 reads her thread is by far the most read thread that I have seen on any morgellons related website, almost four times as many reads than even the second most read thread on this site and around twenty times as many reads than the average "popular" thread. Nancy is one of the most courageous people I have ever known and she deserves the respect of everyone here, she certainly has mine. I think it is fitting that we revisit her thread and discuss her findings that she detailed in such glorious fashion.

Not a bad idea itself Steve if you revisit her thread to read it, but someone (realitycheck) posted on Nancy's thread recently calling all she had done a "myth." I did get on and suggest that another thread be started if the discussion continued in that vain (it did upset me to see that voiced on her thread, especially in light of all the support Nancy gave many posters here on MDR). I believe Kritts then did start this new thread to discuss the fungus issues which this person was so emphatic about. Anyway...I do believe Nancy deserves a lot of respect for what she wrote on the thread she started and I hope that others will respect what she did and not call what she did a "myth" if they post on her thread. Somehow, since she is not here to explain or expand upon her beliefs, it seems difficult to keep adding to that thread now. How she treated these lesions was a big part of the thread which could get lost if folks just keep adding to it without her continuing input.

I believe Carla did post about the NC sewer issues earlier (or at least I think it was Carla). I remember shuddering when I read about it LOL.
