Bryozoan Hypothesis

[rocklady]

Steve,

I really appreciate you taking the time to share this - it really explains a lot!

Gosh, all the bits and pieces of research surely seem to be lining up.

Nice to see you back in the saddle..... and anxious to hear your latest discoveries!

btw, saw the doc we talked about - liking him a lot so far !

Thats great you saw the Doc RL, I thought you might like him, I know my first impression was very good. I've finally gotten around to begining my website and am working towards compilling everything and publishing it, it may take a little while though since there is so very much involved.

Great news on the website Steve -- didn't know that was in the works. Sounds like an incredible
amount of work you're about to begin. I applaud your incredible tenacity,
research skills and drive to determine what is at the core of this multi-faceted disease. No doubt,
chester will have a special place on your site - how bout those videos she's been putting out - incredible !!

Hope you have some fun and can enjoy at least parts of the process along the way.

best to you Steve !

What is in the elastic that all this underwear has in common? I know I had a strapless bra that drove me so nuts with itching I couldn't wear it. I'm thinking it may be not so much in the areas mites prefer, but in what the composition is in the elastic?

This just gets curioser and curioser (Alice in Wonderland)

Aniline
Aniline is an organic compound, the largest market for aniline is preparation of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate or MDI, some 85% of aniline serves this market. MDI is reacted with a polyol in the manufacture of polyurethane. Polyurethanes are widely used in high resiliency flexible foam seating, rigid foam insulation panels, microcellular foam seals and gaskets, durable elastomeric wheels and tires, electrical potting compounds, high performance adhesives and sealants, Spandex fibres, seals, gaskets, carpet underlay, and hard plastic parts.

Spandex, when first introduced, revolutionized many areas of the clothing industry.
It is one of the most used materials in lingerie.

So now we know
Spandex contains Aniline.

According to the PAN Pesticides Database - Chemical Toxicity Studies on Aquatic Organisms
Aniline is Toxic to atleast some species of bryozoa, hydra, sea anemones, algaes, fish, molluscs, nematodes, and others.See? This is how awesome our Morg's brothers and sisters are! Thoughts and results! Steve, thanks so much for contributing again. I so look forward to your website! Hey, what about the use of aniline to fight morgs???

I awoke this morning with a renewed feeling of confidence, a feeling that I had been trying to regain just the day before, this assured me that I made the right decision. I know that many of you noticed the fact that I had not been spending much time around here lately, I was struggling with something but I just didn't know exactly what it was, until last night when I realized that I had come to an impasse with the bryozoan hypothesis.

Those of you who have been here a while may recall my initial stand on this issue when I first began my research, at that time I was focusing on the sponges as the possible origin of morgellons. Then for various reasons I sidestepped and redirected my attention to the bryozoans, knowing at the time that doing so was going to leave several critical factors unresolved. It was these lingering factors that caused me to re-evaluate my position and after doing so I began to realize that I had gotten off track and was going the wrong way. This is apparently what I was struggljng over, I just couldn't see it at the time. So after last night I knew what I had to do, get back on the right track.

I am now convinced that my first intuition was the right one and I am officially reverting my stand back to the sponges. After having made this decision everything started to feel right again, the pieces are fitting together better, my mind has cleared and I just know in my gut that I am now headed in the right direction, it's a glorious day.

So I have decided that after a couple of days I'm going to ask that this thread be locked so that it can fade away into the black hole of cyberspace. I may or may not begin another thread here to address what I guess will be the Porifera Hypothesis, I'm going to be directing most of my efforts to my website where I will spell out all the details of my rejuvenated efforts. I will however make sure to let everyone know when I publish the new site, it will be called MorgellonsMysteryRevealed.com

Steve, i am delighted to hear of your renewed investigations, and am holding my breath as you put together the MorgellonsMysteryRevealed.com. If my goal of .." reveal, remove, reverse, restore" thru photos is of any help...i would be honored to contribute to your goal of defining this mystery. Searching the world for the "red stuff" of the lesion is not an easy task, but with Gods help....all things are possible, and all my prayers are with you. Nancy
