The Muds of *Black Sea* or *Dead Sea*

[CanadianEagle]

This is my first post on the topic of Morgellons. I’ve had these bumpy patches developing on my lower legs, then up the thighs, as well as the forearms, over the past 2-3 years.
Initially, I thought it was my aging skin - perhaps damaged by too much exposure to the sun in the mid-80s. (I’m the fair-skinned type.) Then about 6 months ago, my wife started complaining of being “bitten” on her usually-perfect skin. We figured it might be scabies, though my doctor had diagnosed me about a year earlier with “eczema”. So to respond to the scabies, I got a prescription for the least intrusive response - sulfur cream. We applied this sulfur cream for 4 nights in a row to all members of the family from the jaw-line down to our toes. Then another application about a week after the 4-night application. Symptoms seemed to ease - at least the biting disappeared… for a couple of weeks.

Now — flashback to summer of 2006. I was working in Eastern Europe as a consultant, and we got to spend a week in Crimea, Ukraine on the Black Sea. After about 5 days of swimming in the strong brine of the Black Sea, we decided to visit our host’s sanatorium-resort (”kurort” in Russian), and we saw the rich black sulphurous muds that people were applying to their bodies. My hosts, my family and I then all jumped into the black mud, covering everything save our eyeballs with the black mud. We stood there in the hot afternoon sunshine, absorbing the sun’s heat into the black muck on our skin - probably 20 minutes we stood there. Then we washed it all off in the salty brine of the lagoon.
Result? Honest to God - my skin was like a baby’s bottom all over for at least 3 weeks after that. No pimples, eruptions, or even hint of Morgellons-type skin surface symptoms. The dangerous part about our escapade in the Black Sea muds was that we most likely overdid it, as my wife couldn’t sleep all night, and a day or two later I seemed to feel a stress in my heart area. (In fact, a 54-year-old German man died from an overstay in the black muds just a week before our arrival in Crimea.) Ukrainians who make use of the black sea muds generally do so under doctor supervision, who prescribes the specific body areas that are to be covered, and for how long. We walked in like a bunch of wild pigs, and simply revelled in covering ourselves in black mud.
I suspect that my re-infection with pimple-like cysts (aka Morgellons) started up again because my clothing was infested with the “textile-like” particles, which I didn’t properly segregate from my life.

My wife just discovered Morgellons on the internet yesterday, but the symptoms appear to correspond for me. I’ve been reading some of the herbal remedies that are out there to mitigate the effects. However, my goal is to get my sorry *** back to the mud flats of either the Black Sea or the Dead Sea this summer, and deliberately set about following a schedule of mud applications - maybe 10 minutes of mud on every other day for a total of about 5 applications over 10 days.

Reading the blogs, it seems that there have been some 12 cases of people who’ve overcome Morgellons symptoms by using alfalfa baths. It’s possible… but I know what worked for me, and I’m leaning towards the muds.
