A parasite/fungus that invade the hair shaft and hair itself

[MeaganM]

Pay attention to the last paragraph. Could this explain the hair symptoms that most Morgellons sufferers experience and the spores that it produces? Imagine a fungus that grows inside the hair! It could take a life of it's own. Read the pages on plant parasites and fungus in humans. It gets more interesting. It also explains how they dissolved the hair to find the parasite which I didn't include here. Very interesting!

Vegetable Parasite of Tinea Favosa (Achorion Schoenleinii').— Discovered in 1839 by Schcenlein in the scabs of favus, afterwards by Gruby and Wedl, this parasite was first inoculated with success upon the skin of the arm by Remak.

By removing a small piece of the yellow fungus of favus, and placing it in a solution of ammonia, it soon breaks up, when the parasite may be isolated. By the addition of a few drops of solution of iodine in water containing iodide of potassium, the fungus is colored red-brown, and its structure can be seen. It is composed of roundish spores, isolated or united in the form of chains. These chains of spores usually terminate the filaments of the mycelium (or thai us). At the free extremity of the latter they are at first spherical, afterwards becoming slightly elongated, so that the filament is formed by the union of short joints. The filaments of the mycelium are composed of elongated, distinct, dotted, dichotomously ramifying, firmly united joints. The spores forming chains are very frail, and are considered as a portion of the plant in the process of germination. (Fig. 356.)

Upon a vertical section of the skin through a spot covered by a favus fungus, at the surface formed by the fungus, the epidermic layers are seen filled with spores which are scattered between the corneous cells. With the spores are always seen micrococci and bacteria, besides small drops of fat. The accumulation of these foreign elements causes a prominence and a peripheral swelling of the fungus. The depressed centre is usually occupied by one or more diseased hairs; here is where the evolution of the fungus takes place and where recovery begins. The affection heals at the centre while at the periphery it extends in a circular manner.

In favus fungi of considerable extent, the invasion of the parasite is not limited to the epidermic layers. The mycelium penetrates perpendicularly into the derma, and there ramifies. This penetration is not due to a simple poshing aside of the tissues, but to a true invasion (Malassez); the tubes of the myeelium arise from the bottom of the fungus, and pass in straight lines into the connective tissue between the fasciculi. The derm slightly reacts from this invasion, and at the surface of the fungus there is a continual exudation or even suppuration.

In every case the connective tissue invaded by the thalus of the achorion Schoenleinii is gradually absorbed, and it is probable that this absorbtion causes the cicatrices which are found beneath the fungi after recovery.

The beard and the hair are invaded. The fungus grows principally in the fibrous shaft of the hair between the longitudinal epidermic laminae; here the filaments are found to consist mostly of spores; but the mycelium is found in the tunics of the hair bulb in the neighborhood of the root.

great article. I am pretty sure I have a fungal problem in my hair. I have lost so much of it - still get the nasty tangles all the time - when I scope them the fibers look like tree branches - where do you suppose one could go to have tests done on the hair? I use vinegar, athlete's foot cream, vicks, whatever on my hair - while better, it's still problematic. Haven't tried the GSE yet but that's next on the list.

Hi,

What is GSE?

Professor Amin may say something about IGR.

It might be worth checking with him, his clinic is in Arizona.

This may correlate with some of Tamtam's theory, (the 'for definite' part).

What evidence is there for myiasis or micromyiasis, borne by paedogenesis?

No offence, have people been helped by Orap? If so, this does not mean they were delusional. Many psychiatric drugs have large actions.

Orap kills worms in pigs.

Do you think you could share why it is you are here? Do you have M or don't you? So far I am left wondering why you wanted to know of a doctor in UK? If you are in UK? Why you are bringing up this mish mash of questions here? Mentioning Dr. Amin? And Orap? And IGR?

If you are here to ask questions and do not have M it would be good of you to say that as it takes time to write to people, only to be left wondering why they asked for the information at all.

Dear Tom,

Please do not be angry with me.

I swear to you that I am sincere, and am not just asking questions for the sake of it. God, no, not in a million years.

I have read many forums over the while, and like this one.

I think that you are highly intelligent and caring.

I like the Hugo quote also.

I did want to know of a doctor. I would not waste any good person's time.

I thought I'd raise the other theories in case there might be truth in them.

The last thing we should do is squabble with one another, (although this was my clumsiness and tactlessness at fault).

I am not trying to 'show off' what I've read. I am truly desperate if you want the truth. May God help us all, and sorry again.

Sincerely.

zen, Since you are seeing Ginger Savley how is that going? she should be able too help you with this problem? or arent you seeing her any more. but I too believe the hair has something too do with this. I have very short hair now and none down below since that was a favortie spot of spring tails. sammy

Tee tree baths did it and do it for me. I got the morg through lice and I was bitten in the back of my head and it spread on downwards, but I would feel something crawling on my head all the time. I shaved it and I would find the black specks on it. Soon after I started taking tea tree abths and dipping my head in the tea tree oil water and soon enough I wasn't bothered as much. So thats what I recomend. Tea tree oil effects the infected skin oddly - it burns, so what you want to do is adjust the amount of oil so you would burn very slightly. If you are planning to get tea tree oil get 32oz - it'll last you a while.

Isadora,I have many pics that can prove paedogenisis and micromyasis.If you wish to see them all at once then please send me an e-mail address so that I can send you an invite from windows messenger.I have many pics and this makes it very simple for both of us.I took Orap for quite a while without any positive results other than with sleep and panic.The article from Megan,in my opinion is right on the track.

Hiya,

I saw the evidence for the paedogenesis and small fly myiasis already.

What can safely kill all three stages of development?

What about the unidentifiable scalp fibers?

Seems to me, the powers that be should be persuaded to get identifying them.

I agree the article is good.

May Dr.Harvey enter into the joy of the Lord, RIP.

Isadora,The big issue for the three stages to be eliminated is "safely".I have made a lot of progress with eliminating this from my body but it wasn't without a lot of discomfort and suffering from the treatment and subsequent die off and discharge.I don't have any health issues outside of M to consider,so I have used some fairly radical approaches to ridding myself of this parasitic infestation.A person with other issues might find that my approach would be unsafe for them.
