fiber fight

[chester]

Hi, im in same town, dealing with this for a year. Found it on dogs...researched and came up with this article..."How to find mystery chemtrail fibrils by sue miller " (put that in the search to get it). I spent a week building up the courage to disprove the article and took a blacklight outside..the dogs ran to me and were covered in the fibers. I took the blacklight inside and found them all over(as described in article), and found them in my skin pores. I thus began what i call my "fiber fight" by vacuuming them up, and it has helped, after using fabric dryer sheets for 14 years... to not use dryer fabric sheets. I was able to heal the sores on the dogs using silver(sovereign silver from whole foods, vitimin shoppe$12). The sores are ulcers created by the fibers going into the skin pores. I decided to get them out of my face. The skin was fine looking, but i bought the new 10x makeup mirror(walmart $6), and organic aloe gel(whole foods $6), and on applying the aloe...my chin turned red like a lobster, puckered up and the pores began to expel white fibers. I could see all this in the mirror, and using angled tweezers would remove the white fiber from the pore and more fibers would come out. Applying this routine nightly, this process has revealed about 20 lesions of various sizes. Some of these embedded "fiber bites", as i have come to call them...i remember getting over the years, and they would just "go away". However, i know now that they were just covered up and causing problems. The worst one , above my lip has been embedded for 9 years(i have a photo that dates when it first became a problem). Due to the proceedure i use...it is almost healed. Now that the ulcers are revealed....i use miracle foot aloe cream(walgreens$10) to sit on the sores in a pile. This cream melts the lesion covering. After several applications of that, i apply baking soda to the lesions. The baking soda pulls the swollen embedded fibers up, and counteracts the fibers defense of creating goo or glue. Layer by layer, night by night, i use this application to get to the bottom of the ulcer, which has been embedded in my skin and covered up by dry skin. At the bottom of these lesions, are nubs of the tops of white embedded fibers that are hooked into the skin underneath. They are impossible to pull out...but cannot overcome the application of baking soda. I let the soda dry out, remove by spraying with distilled water, then reapply the soda. When i am done with a session, i put the liquid silver on it, or silver gel bandages(king soopers $5). I have been doing this for about a month, some smaller lesions are healed...no scar. The larger lesions are almost at the bottom of the fibers in the bottom of the ulcers. I have hope these will also heal well. I have found that there is a point in removing these....that they get worse before better....because they are larger under the skin than on the surface appearance. But, i have endevored to be the servant of the process...just removing what is revealed, and taking time for the process to proceed. The hardest part of this, is a point where the ulcer "bleeds out". The one under my chin, once it began seeping into the baking soda...was seeping with repeted applications of soda for 9 hours. During this time, many different teeth, sinus and gum nerves were sensitive. Since i have alot of dental work....i chose to think these lesions may have contributed to my dental problems. I have proceeded in humility, with prayer, just being a mom...no medical training. My family and friends are horrified and interested, and watching. None of them want to look at their skin with the blacklight or look into the 10x mirror. I have been braver than i want to be, but im following what i saw work successfully for the sores on my dogs. I feel violated by these manmade fibers all over everything, and i thank God for helping me get rid of them. If i itch, i tape the area with packaging tape til it doesnt itch anymore. I can put the tape on white paper and use my mothers day gift....a proscope-tv 200x microscope, and see exactly what was bothering me...same fibers as pictured on the morgellons sites. I get these off the bed/upholstry with the vacuum or better yet...the new paint roller size, rollers of tape(laundry section($10). The micro dusting cloth picks these up fast off smooth surfaces. I can hold my hand up to a lamp or sunlight and see the tiny wavy clear fibers sticking to my fingertips and remove them with tape. I can check with the blacklight in the mirror, and remove these fibers off my face. I have seen them anchored unpright going into lesions. I dont know what this is, but i do know i want to get rid of it, and with Gods help , i am. My motto...reveal, reverse, remove, restore. I have several friends who have let me check their homes for these fibers...yes, they have them also. They choose not to deal with it, and they can see no sores on their face. They have let me tape them and check on my tv microscope, and yes, the array of fibers are there. But, they dont have lesions, and so....they dont worry about it. This reality is hard to deal with....but you are not alone. God bless you and your child, and may God help us help them.

wel chester try morgellons.com have good info ty for the reply. the fibers i belive are not manmade at all but cellulose which is a plant type thing and weird think freak of nature thing. but think the parcites the black pepper speck things that sting and bite may utilise them somehow (Symbiotic relationship?) or the natural defenses of our bodies somehow go wrong. for instance you use the balcklight which makes them glow....exterminators to locate scorpions use a blacklight it makes the scorpions glow too! weird huh? the baking soda GREAT idea(aloe too). but if u look in the cures section of this forums one person has a regimen of bathing with enzyme wash kills all the stuff lossens fiber thingies and neutralizes them and a hydrogen peroxide and epsom salt bath to give well deserved relief. ive been putting peroxide on sores back of neck and helps remove stuff, including pesky fibers. but if you find this regimen you will enjoy it you said were mom right? well sorry if calling u chester is incorrect? also the morgellons website the forum is affiliated with say i think, 94 percent of morgellons sufferers also have lymes disease. may want to have that checked into sometimes the treatment for lymes disease can help you go into remission with the fiber allergy we all have. this is just my theory , but i think a big gaping hole gets carved into our immune systems (maybye through lymes disease) that opens the doors to our bodies letting these maladies in. please email me if you live in colorado springs i may have some useful info for you i can give via emaIL MY EMAIL IS WAKINYAN@MYWAY.COM if interested. sincerely, ann P.S. the testimonials of folks here show we can beat this and i love you for being such a scrappy fighter and the most exellent suggestions you have made.

Hi all and welcome I a have to agree with the idea that lyme disease can lead to getting morgs. I have lyme disease and its a daily struggle but its getting better. My real fear now, since I feel so tired and down on my energy levels. I feel this may leave my immune system open to a parsite attacks, wether it be morgs or any other sickness. Its always so scary when your immune system is compromised, it just leaves your body open to so much. Personally right now I think all these parasites and fiber disorders are made, come from nature in some form or a other. We have trashed earth so much with garbage and chemicals, it wouldnt surprise me all theses crazy disorders can arise.

[chester]

We have recently moved from the springs, but let me know if you find a good doc or support group there. I am negative on lymes. Yes, im a mom, and chester is my dogs name...i write in honor of prayers for him that have led me on a path with the answers i have shared here. It broke my heart to see him covered in these fluoresent blue manmade fibers, and have sores with fibers in them. Being a dark haired dog...i could easily see the fibers in the corner of his mouth, nose and eyes, and interwoven all through his coat of hair. I check the water bowl and there are many fibers floating in it, some sunken, and always more, even with changing the water daily and vacuuming the area. Sorry if my report sounded "scrapy"....i realize i have no training, just a blind soul in a dark room lookin for the light. My heart goes out to the children and animals suffering because of this, and i hope the parents will be guided to all truth and light in the matter. I hope your search will lead to more light on the truth about this mysterious affliction, and that you will be able to lift the burden of it off your child and yourself.

Chester,
I am wondering what you mean by using fabric sheets? Are using fabric sheets bad?

Crystal

[Ctipton]

I also use fabric sheets but, in the following quote from Chester it mentions not using them after 14 yrs. I am confused by how it relates to the story as it is written.

"Hi, im in same town, dealing with this for a year. Found it on dogs...researched and came up with this article..."How to find mystery chemtrail fibrils by sue miller " (put that in the search to get it).

[chester]

I accidentally found, about a year ago...this article called, "how to find mystery chemtrail fibers by sue miller". It challenged me to use a tube blacklight to find all the fibers that coat our clothing and is very detailed in what they look like. It took me about a week to work up the nerve to try this, and i started outside. I didnt see any fibers like described ...until my dogs ran up to me...they were coated in it!!!! I found them all over the house, my clothes, counters, and floating in the dogs water bowls, and on my skin. It was scary so i devised experiements to determine how to remove it, and stop any sources of it i could identify. My son suggested the dryer fabric softener sheets which we had used since he was little. To show me what he meant, he took a lighter and ran it across the bottom of his socks, and sparks flew!I was shocked! He said he used to do that when watching tv just for fun and he figured out that the softening agent in the sheets for the dryer coated the clothes with fibers. I read on an allergy site that you can put a foot or so of alluminun foil in the dryer to cut static, so i did that and stopped the dryer sheets. I noticed when i would use the blacklight at night to vacuum up all these mystery fibers off the counters and floors and tv and lamps and bathroom porcelain and mirrors....that the large fibers (about 1 and a half inch)were no longer present, and that my vacuuming efforts were reducing the contamination . I concluded that stopping the dryer fabric softener sheets had stopped these fibers from coating the clothes and by movement, being distributed around the house both in the air and on objects. A new source began when my son brought home a duvet cover from bed and bath and put it on his comforter. Checking it with the blacklight i could see that the surface of the new comforter was covered in hundreds of these fibers . On the surface of the cover which was navy blue, these fibers looked man made and light fluoresent blue...just like i had found all over my home. When the comforter was moved slightly...the fibers would lift off the comforter and some would become airborne. Some would settle on the table and tv and on the floor. I thought maybe it was a manufacturing process that make the cotton soft....but it was starting to cover my sons room and make a trail down the stairs. I tried washing the comforter cover three times and checked with the blacklight, and was dismayed to see the fibers made it thru each wash...but had broken to smaller sizes. The best way to remove them was to use sticky tape...like the duct tape rolls. Now, i check stuff i buy with the blacklight...sometimes things new from the store are covered in these fibers, sometimes not. I am pleased to use this blacklight tool to have some control over this irritant. I have seen these fibers anchor themselves on my skin if i have a cut, and i believe they have , over the years created pimple like sores that instead of going away...embed themselves and create ulcers. I call them fiber bites and i have been slowly removing these with baking soda, day by day, and i think they have been there under the skin for years. When my daughter came for a visit from out of town...she let me hold the blacklight on her face and clothes because she offered to help with my experiements. She had these fibers on her clothes and 12 of them on her face, some laying on the skin, others woven in her hair and eyebrows. When she got married, i checked the tuxes which were delivered in a zippered bag and hung in our closet. With the blacklight i saw these same fibers all over the black tuxes. This may be an irritant to some and not to others? Finding this made me very very mad. I do not want my home decorated in this contaminate. If it does cause "fiber bites", they are much easier to tape off, or wash off with baking soda, than to let them embed in the skin and cause internal problems and itching.

chester, it is most wonderful you are putting up new posts again. i see examples of this on clothes in walmart. but the ones i see are white, and they do burn. yet they are different from hair and resemble the ones in my home. rarely do i see blue ones.please post whatever new findings you discover, as it fascinates all of us. also can relate to your doggie i have collies it is hell, poor dogs.

Stop super-germs in their tracks with one powerful silver bullet
By Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.
Vol. 13, Issue 8 • September 2006 NUTRITION & HEALING
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright's
SARS. Avian flu. These and
other big-time bugs called
"super-germs" are making
headlines almost on a daily basis.
People are scared, and rightly so.
Super-germs mutate so quickly
that antibiotics are virtually
useless against them: As soon as
an effective one is created, the
germ mutates, and the antibiotic
becomes obsolete. The same is
true of many vaccines.
But there's no need to feel
defenseless because these mutating
germs have finally met their match.
And it's been right under our noses
all along. It's colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver just might be
the next germ-fighting wonder
drug. And not just for the serious
threats making headlines: It's also
effective against bacterial infections
like strep throat, viruses like the
flu, and fungal infections like
Candida. No matter how much a
germ mutates, it can't change
enough to escape the damaging
effects of colloidal silver. And in the
process, the silver doesn't harm
human tissue or kill off the good
bacteria in the intestine the way
antibiotics and other medications do.
Battling America's
No. 1 health crisis
From 1900 to 1940, medical
doctors in the U.S. used colloidal
and other small-particle silver
preparations intravenously to cure
otherwise fatal infections. But then
sulfa medications, penicillin, and
other patented antibiotics were
introduced and initially "worked
like gangbusters." Since silver
preparations were unpatentable,
they predictably fell into disuse
and were even criticized as "oldfashioned"
and "ineffective" by
proponents of the patented
competitors. Some even claimed
that even a little bit of silver is
dangerous for your health. (I guess
they didn't realize that silver is a
normal part of our diets: Whole
wheat and mushrooms are just
two of the sources that contain
relatively large amounts of silver.)
But all living things, from
microbes to men, resist being
killed. So after the first two to three
decades of being killed off easily,
bacteria have developed enough
resistance to patented antibiotics
that doctors are beginning to get
worried again. Patented antifungal
medications aren't working as well
as they did at first either, and the
number of effective patented antiviral
medications has always been
very small. Now the situation is
spiraling out of control.
To get an idea of the magnitude
of the super-germ problem, take a
look at the progression over the
years. According to Newsweek,
during 1992 at least 13,000 hospital
patients died from drug-resistant
infections despite being treated with
antibiotics. But just one year later,
super-germs raised the death toll to
70,000.1 As a result, in 1994 the
Centers for Disease Control declared
super-germs to be America's No. 1
health crisis.2 Since that time, the
number has skyrocketed to 2
million Americans per year who
suffer from hospital-based supergerm
infections.3
While patent medication
companies pour billions of dollars
into developing patentable "space
alien" molecules costing hundreds
of dollars per prescription, others
are calling for a re-examination of
silver's ability to treat infections
of all kinds—bacterial, fungal,
and viral—apparently without
inducing resistance.
A family of germ-fighting metals
For several years, scientists
have been looking closely at silver
as the best candidate to thwart the looming epidemic of supergerms.
Back in the 70s, a researcher reported on the germ-fighting
power of silver. He said, "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver
is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills
perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills
some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is
virtually non-toxic."4
Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper
and gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits
when they're used properly). One of the primary concerns
people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that
they'll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity.
But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as
selenium,
vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you're safe
from any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs,
however, are not.
Once a germ has entered human cells, it becomes more
difficult for drugs to attack the infection without also becoming
toxic to those cells. But according to a research study published
in the European Journal of Biochemistry, silver (and the other
metals in this family) bring about a key reaction within the body's
defense system: the production of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen
peroxide is lethal to germs, but it's not harmful to healthy human
tissues when they're protected by plenty of antioxidants.5
The secret to silver's success
Although researchers have known of silver's germ-fighting
effects for decades, it wasn't until 2000 that scientists finally
understood why it worked so well. But first, it's important to
understand antibiotics' Achilles' heel. Although germs have three
vulnerable targets, any single antibiotic can attack only one of
them at a time: (1) the germ's outer membrane, (2) its internal
components, or (3) its delicate gene pool. When a germ becomes
resistant to an antibiotic, it has learned how to fortify the
specific
target that the antibiotic attacks. You'd have to take several
antibiotics to attack all of the germ's targets simultaneously.
But that sets the stage for further problems. Taking multiple
antibiotics just increases the odds of wiping out enough friendly
bacteria to allow an infection by various fungi (including Candida
and other yeast). And in place of the friendly bacteria, "resistant"
bacteria set up camp, including the infamous, but all-too-common,
hospital residents—staph aureus and clostridia.
Antibiotics obviously don't have what it takes to nip these
super-bugs in the bud. But that's where colloidal silver comes in.
Silver attacks all three of the germ's vulnerable targets at once.
First, the silver ions easily rupture a germ's outer membrane
when present in the right amounts, causing the germ's vital
internal components to be exposed in the bloodstream to our white
blood cells. While the white blood cells attack the internal
components, the micro-particulate silver continues to destroy
these vital internal components by cutting up vital enzymes.
(continued from page 1)
stop super-germs
NAH_SEPT06 8/3/06 3:41 PM Page 2
The silver ions then easily attack
the germ's third vulnerable target:
its delicate gene pool. Silver ions
have the ability to reach into the
nucleus of the germ, where its gene
pool is located. Once they combine
with the genes, the genes become
paralyzed, and the germ cannot
replicate itself.6
Gearing up for a war on viruses
But silver doesn't stop at fighting
bacteria—it also targets fungal
infections, such as athlete's foot and
Candida, as well as viruses, such as
the flu, upper respiratory infections,
strep throat, and even HIV.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the
biggest problems with fighting off
germs—whether they be bacteria,
viruses, or fungi—is keeping the
body's cells safe and unharmed in the
process. When a virus enters your
body, it has to attach itself to your
body's cells in order to live, and it
actually uses those cells to help
reproduce itself. They're so
intertwined that it's impossible to
kill off the virus without killing
your body's cells in the process.
Because of that, your immune
system is basically on its own when
it comes to fighting a virus after it
has entered your body. It does this
by creating antibodies that will kill
that specific virus and will keep it
from coming back again. One
mainstream medical solution is to
get a vaccine of the specific virus
(such as small pox or the measles)
before you contract it. That will
cause your body to build up
antibodies to the virus and prevent
you from contracting the real thing.
But that's not the only medical
solution. There are a few somewhateffective
patent medications, though
they're laden with side effects. Look
up "amantadine" and "acyclovir"
for example, or some of the patent
medications used against HIV.
Once again, the problem occurs
when the virus itself changes. Take
the flu, for example. The flu is one
of the most common viruses that
we face every year. But it's hard to
stay ahead of it because new strains
are always developing that are
different from the ones that vaccines
have been developed to treat. Many
flu vaccines are a classic example of
"fighting the last war" over again,
instead of the present one. Each
year it becomes increasingly more
clear that what we really need is a
broad-spectrum antiviral agent.7
Which brings us once again to
colloidal silver.
A number of emerging medical
studies confirm the antiviral properties
of silver ions both in the
laboratory and in real human
studies against some of the most
formidable viral organisms, including
HIV and herpes.8-10 A study in 1991
showed that both zinc and silver
ions strongly inhibited HIV
infection.11 In 1993, the Washington
Post cited laboratory tests showing
that a new Japanese silver ion
powder actually destroyed both
HIV and herpes.12 And when silver
is tied to oxygen, it can actually
electrocute the germ––which has
turned out to be a powerful new
way to destroy viruses.13
Beginning in the 1970s, several
independent researchers found that
silver ions easily destroy Candida
and other fungi.14-16 But it wasn't
until a pilot study during the mid-
1990s that included human patients
suffering from terminal AIDS that
medical researchers established
solid evidence showing just how
quick and effective silver ions can
be in the treatment of Candida as
well as HIV.
In this study, nine individuals who
were near death were divided into
two subgroups. One group suffered
from HIV and a terrible Candida
infection. The other group suffered
from both HIV and an extreme form
of malnutrition (known as Wasting
Syndrome). The researchers found
that in both groups the colloidal
silver was capable of killing pathogens
and purging the bloodstream of
germ defenses in order to restore
the immune system.17
One of the most exciting aspects
of this study is the positive effect
colloidal silver had on the severe
blood disorders present in AIDS.
For example, it is well known that
certain populations of immune cells
called CD4 cells (a type of white
blood cell) are greatly altered and
deficient in people who have AIDS.
Although silver ions may initially
cause a person's blood cell counts to
drop, the deficiency in the CD4 cells
is corrected within 24 to 72 hours.
This is called the "rebound effect."
As far back as 1916, researchers
found that silver-based drugs
increased the numbers of immune
cells called leucocytes, while at the
same time checking Staphylococcus
septicemia, a severe and often lethal
blood infection. After an initial
decrease in red and white blood
cells, silver ions caused a rapid
increase in both types.19,20 But it
wasn't until 2001 that a single pilot
study reported in the Clinical
Practice of Alternative Medicine
showed that high concentrations of
a certain kind of colloidal silver had
the same results: at first, a dramatic
and sharp decrease of the good
blood cells, but then a rebound
effect rapidly kicked in and resulted
in total blood cell recovery.21
Another feature of certain immune
cells that is vital to destroying germs
is the ability of those cells to
swallow and digest them. How fast
or how slow these immune cells
carry out this vital defensive action
is called the phagocytic index. In
1909, the Journal of the American
Medical Association was the first
medical journal to point out that
colloidal silver could actually increase
our immune cells' phagocytic index.22,23
In the past few years, more atudies







have shown that silver ions greatly
enhance the essential second part of
the phagocytic index—the part where
the germ is digested by our immune
cells. This is brought about because
silver ions increase the "digesting
juices" (what you know as hydrogen
peroxide) of these immune cells.
Pint-sized particles duke it out
with the Goliath of germs
The smaller the size of the silver
particle, the more likely it is to kill
germs. Previously, the smallest
silver particle preparations were
between 14 and 26 nanometers.
(A nanometer is one billionth of a
meter.) But more recently, many
natural medicine clinics and
physicians have been working with a
preparation of silver that has a
confirmed uniform particle size of
0.8 nanometers. It's called Argentyn
23. When this 0.8-nanometer-sized
silver is used intravenously by
physicians, it's often called
"UPOSH," which is short for
"ultraparticulate uniform picoscalar
silver hydrosol." (Another 0.8-
nanometer form that's available overthe-
counter is called Sovereign Silver.
It's 10 parts per million, while
Argentyn 23 and "UPOSH" are 23
parts per million.)
At 0.8 nanomters, the silver
particles in Argentyn 23 and Sovereign
Silver are tiny enough to be readily
absorbed in your stomach, so they can
easily penetrate into germs when
properly delivered in the right
amounts. Another benefit of quick
absorption is that it protects the good
bacteria in your digestive system. In
contrast, as antibiotics travel deep into
the intestinal tract, they destroy the
protective bacteria that reside there,
often causing diarrhea and yeast
infections in the process.
If you feel an infection coming
on, try taking 1 teaspoon (5 ccs) of
Argentyn 23 every 15 to 60 minutes
on an empty stomach seven or more
times daily. Or, if you decide to take
Sovereign Silver instead, take 2
teaspoons each time since it's a
"weaker" solution. Of course, it's
always a good idea to check with
your doctor about what might be
right for your particular circumstances.
But the sooner you start
taking it in the course of an infection,
the better its chances of working
quickly. You can use the silver
treatment while taking other antiinfection
and immune-boosting
agents, such as vitamin C, vitamin A,
Echinacea, and many others, but you
shouldn't take them at the same time
because the silver absorbs best on an
empty stomach.
Although these tiny quantities of
silver are very safe for humans, you
should still stop the treatment once
the infection is gone. Long-term use
of very large doses of silver can
cause a bluish discoloration of the
skin called argyria.
Occasionally, colloidal silver can
be so effective that the immune
system can't handle the rapid dying
off of microorganisms. This excess
die-off could produce symptoms
called Jarisch-Herxheimer effects
(JHEs), more commonly called
Herxheimer reactions. Symptoms
can include mild to moderate
headaches, joint pain, sweating,
nausea, flulike symptoms without
fever, malaise, a red rash, skeletal
pain, and itching. Less common
symptoms include chills, diarrhea
(typically of short duration),
vomiting of short duration, and
fever. Keep in mind, though, that
these symptoms are actually an
indication that the treatment is
working. If you experience
Herxheimer reactions, stop taking
the treatment for 24 to 48 hours
and then resume at a lower dose.
And as always, consult your doctor
if any unexpected symptoms occur.
