Recent statement from Dr. Edward Spencer

This was copied and pasted from Morgellons Group (Crystal River). I believe it came from "Rumor Mills" originally.

Physician Blasts
CDC Over Morgellons
From Dr. Edward Spencer
2-24-9

I am concerned that this will become an epidemic when the economy collapses completely. The universities and medical establishment ignore it.

47 Maria Dr., Suite 811 B
Petaluma, CA 94954
Feb. 22, 2009

To whom it may concern:

Ms. XX was seen in my Petaluma Office. She suffers from a disorder that has been called Morgellons Disease. This is a very debilitating disorder, and no cure is available. Some treatments are available, but their effectiveness is extremely limited.
On January 28, 2009 Morgellons Disease was given a definition and ICD Code:

C17.800.518 by NIH/MeSH Tree Location for Morgellon's Disease.

C 17: Skin and Connective Tissue Disease

ICD Definition:

"An unexplained illness which is characterized by skin manifestations including non healing lesions, itching, and the appearance of fibers. There appears to be a strong association with LYME Disease."

I state unequivocally that the above definition is woefully incomplete and inadequate, and that the CDC and medical establish have been totally negligent in studying this system of disorders, and have provided no treatment, support, or comfort, at all to the patients afflicted. Morgellons is not a problem of "delusions of parasitois."

I will further state that evidence is emerging that this system of disorders (poorly named Morgellons) is in almost everyone, including those who read this letter, but that clinical manifestations are not manifested to a recognizable degree.

In summary Ms. XX is, in my opinion, ill from a system of disorders called Morgellons Disease, and is debilitated to the extent that she cannot work.

Very truly yours,

Good post Sadsack, really 'hits home'.

I've started a database to list clients ive assessed who are showing symptoms - roughly 40% at the mo. AND we're getting an influx of younger people with chronic stuff like 'gout', arthritis, CFS. Something will give - healthcare systems will split at the seams.

ooo I've just thought...if Dr Spencer is right and most people have morgs - then quite possibly this could make sense of the research on flys:

About 75% of known human disease genes have a recognizable match in the genetic code of fruit flies (Reiter et al. (2001)

If a big part of morgs is myaisis, then maybe its responsible for many diseases - with different guises....

hi and welcome Katinka!

I'm in touch with another morgie in Germany who seems to be making good progress with doctors. I think the researcher Marc Neumann is working with a health clinic in Germany now too. Shout me if you'd like more details hey.

I was just this minute looking at horse, stable and deer fly data!! - its not really my theory, its Sheila O'Leary's who voiced it in 2002, I'm just helping pull some pieces of this jigsaw together some.

Katinka - can you check to see if you have any creeping web strands on your walls, windows, ceilings etc?

cheers

Yes Jo.. this clinic (two doctors) are having great success with Lyme patients and Marc has been to see them about morg and they are apparently very interested in helping him in his research, it sounds quite promising...

More RANDOM testing of people (using lemon juice,or menthol/(icey hot) simple detection method needs to be done to see how widespread this is,,to get some figures,,BUT how do ya get the public to co-operate..??
And wheres the E.P.A. in all this?? Is there still an E.p.a.?? WE(sufferers/victims) all know that this is Bio-hazard..........

Since Jan '08 Gwen Scott, ND, Clifford Carnicom, I (and most of you) believe that everyone has this "M".

Yes, I have the "creeping web strands on your walls, windows, ceilings etc"
eco-vie & bug arrest work on getting rid of these webs,

We've had many discussions on the EPA... don't count on the EPA or FDA...

eco-vie & bug arrest work on getting rid of these webs,

I have not tried the eco-vie, but the "Bug Arrest" truly works. I finally was able to get a few before they got me. I drenched them until they stopped moving. It's funny, but, I felt that I was regaining control.

Thanks for all the info on the "Bug Arrest".
