Moergellons is the extreme version of Depression, not new at all.

[aussiedave]

After 4/5 years of being contagious ive had plenty of opportunity to study the affects on other people

most dont get the itchy side.Or if they do get rid of it with lice or scabies treatments

But what ive noticed is that weeks or sometimes months down the track they develop Depression and dont connect it to the itchy show

They are diagnosed and treated as depressed

It is my conviction that what we have is the extreme version of what's known as Depression.

Physical depression is still considered a mystery and cant be cured. The symptoms are treated only.

Ive known for years that this itchy show was A cause of depression. A contagion.

Its only just occurred to me though that it might be more than that. It might be THE cause of depression.

And from there everything bizzare about the attitude to Morgellons suddenly makes sense.

Finding what's causing Depression has proved impossible, but if you take one of us who has, for arguements sake ,Extreme depression. With things that can be examined and so forth, then you are on the right track towards cause/cure.

A cure for us 'extreme depression' sufferers is therefore a cure for all physical depression.

Which would be welcomed by almost everybody.

Except the billion dollar antidepressant industry which would disappear overnight

They have enourmous influence on medical opinion, especially mental disorders and in our case delusional parasitosis

They also have the funds to run disinformation campaigns in the media and on the net

I posted this on morgellonwatch and it was deleted and im banned, which to me is confirmation im on the right track
(I believe they are based in indianapolis usa by the way, not LA or Wvirginia as people think.I also believe they work for Lilly.com)

Does this theory make sense to anyone else?

And if so how does it help to know this?

If its true Lilly and so forth have employed smart people with the objective of delaying the cure for depression for as long as possible

And we pay the highest price, what can be done?

i was treated as severly depressed for years until 7 years ago when i somehow became bipolar. i think i was always bipolar but the manic side was just thought of as "a good mood", where i was energetic, bright, funny, seemingly happy. durin these times i was insomniatic (stayin up all night doin the vocabulary lessons for the whole school year!) but the depression was easier to spot because of suicide attempts (the 1st two @ ages 9 and 12). now i'm a grandmother and can tell (most of the time) where i'm at emotionally and mentally even tho because of no insurance and not enough $ i have to try to control the behaviors without meds. so it makes me wonder.................what came first? the chicken or the egg? ???

Every time I tried to make my Doctor believe I had some kind of Parasite,he
would tell me I was depressed.He was willing to prescribe medication for depression but not to send me for any test for Parasites.
A few friends ,who I know who are not depressed ,have been prescribed
Prozac by him.
The whole lot of them are corrupt Greedy Bar stewards.(thanks for that one Pat )

I don't think there is a huge conspiracy. Depression, stress all that stuff is an easy answer when the doc can't engage with the idea of thinking outside of the box. Most of them are not inquisitive enough nor well enough informed to respond in any other way. I've been offered anti-depressants time after time. Then chastised for refusing the medication.
I was even prescribed pimozode by a doctor, who had not seen me, a drug that is contraindactory with epilepsy, a condition from which I suffer.
Just keep the notes folks, and note the names.

Aussiedave,

I agree with Hannah (but nothing would surprise me ). We give local doctors way too much credit for being informed. When they attend the Las Vegas dinner parties thrown by big pharma, I don't think they even discuss bacteria unless something is crawling around the bottom of their martini glasses.

When I told the MD I wanted him to order a stool test for parasites, he asked what made me think I had parasites. When the test came back positive for two different intestinal parasites, he actually looked them up on the internet and printed out a copy of the Wikipedia definition/description and placed it in an envelope for me when I arrived for my next visit with his Naturopathic doctor/partner in the "integrative" practice.

I will say that I think depression, along with all the other symptoms of auto-immune 'diseases' including chronic fatigue, soreness/stiffness, arthritis, brain fog, etc. is so common and that the brain is primarily affected. It does control everything in our system, after all, right? The body is such an intricate and complex thing and the micro-organisms are invading our rna or even our dna and screwing up our processes. I'm listening to a book right now called, "The Great Influenza" which was written in 2005. I'm learning a lot about viruses. It's all so fascinating. Did you know a medical doctor/researcher stated in around 1970 that cancer is caused by a virus? and they say to this day they can't cure it. Amazing.

Sorry to be so long winded, but finally, if there is a conspiracy among the medical community it's only unintentional through default because they are so uninformed. IMO

Its only just occurred to me though that it might be more than that. It might be THE cause of depression.

I could not agree with you more Dave, everytime I see one of those commercials on TV about depression I can't help but wonder just how many of the "depressed" individuals are actually sufferinig from the effects of an nearly invisible parasite, just like us.

For whatever it's worth, There should be no doubt in anyones mind anymore that we are definantly infected with a parasite, I firmly believe that this parasite is also responsible for a great many illnesses, including some which are terminal. I believe that this same parasite is responsible for the spongy brain diseases, including mad cow and the human variants. I believe that this parasite is strongly tied to Lyme disease and is responsibe for the majority of Lymes cases. Fibromyalgia, CFS, Lupus, and Gullian Barre Syndrome are also likely candidates. Exzema, Gout, Hair loss, and chemical sensitivity again very likely caused by this same parasite as well as Alzheimers. The list could literally go on and on.

So I'm just another guy with another idea and that for all practical purposes what I'm claiming couldn't possibly be true, I mean really,who the **** am I to come out and claim that doctors and scientists from every walk of life have just been overlooking the origin of all these diseases, just who do I think I am. Believe me, I find it just about as hard as you do to belive what I claim, but only because no one else has seen it the way I do and not because the evidence isn't there, it is there and it's overwhelming, and every single piece fits, all the questions get answered and the whole messy compicated world of diseases gets a whole lot simpler.

All I can really say is, believe it or not, study for yourself, learn for yourself, make up your own minds based on your knowledge and not that of a so called "professional" or "expert" or God forbid
a Dermatologist, one of the most inept groups of humans on the planet. I stand my ground and will not sway, the bryozoan or a very close relative is the parasite to blame, with morgellons and who knows how many more. The reason it has gone undetected for so long is because it is a master of disguise and apparently can even mimic it's host's DNA.

The Prosecution rests.

ya-a-a-a-y, Steve. i trust your instincts and your knowledge not only because you have the disease but that you care enough to research EXTENSIVELY and try to find the root of this horrible affliction to help us get well. the almighty dollar isn't the hidden reason on your agenda.

thank you,
