TREATMENT STEPS:

NOTE: while waiting for products, begin taking salt/peroxide baths or sprays and vinegar/salt baths or sprays. Do on opposite days and apply lactic acid cream to sores to alleviate discomfort. Begin initial treatment below after obtaining all items

I. TOPICAL -
Initial SKIN and SCALP Treatment:
Day 1:
-Take peroxide/salt bath or spray (see directions below)
-Shower with Selsun Blue - rinse
-Dry with paper towels and discard
-Apply DSP cream over entire body
-Leave DSP on 1-2 hours - shower with Selsun Blue
-Dry with paper towels and discard
-Reapply DSP cream and leave on (or sleep with on)
-Apply DSP to itchy or problem areas as needed
Day 2:
-Shower with Selsun Blue before using Eco-Vie or vinegar
-Take Eco-Vie Bath or spray (or vinegar/salt if not using Eco-Vie) (see directions below)
-DO NOT rinse
-Let AIR DRY - hair dryer helps
-Apply DSP over ENTIRE body and leave on
-Apply DSP to itchy or problem areas as needed
Day 3:
-Take peroxide/salt bath or spray (see directions below)
-Shower with Nizoral Shampoo and rinse
-Dry with paper towels and discard
-Apply DSP over ENTIRE body and leave on
-Apply DSP to itchy or problem areas as needed
Day 4: repeat day 2
Day 5: repeat day 3
Day 6: repeat day 2
Day 7: repeat day 3

Week 2:
-If you have stubborn lesions, continue alternating days 2 and 3 until all lesions are healed
-If lesions are healing, you can opt to apply DSP only on problem areas – eliminating daily baths or sprays
-Weekly baths or sprays with each solution is recommended for maintenance along with daily DSP use

Stubborn or Problematic areas:
If you experience intense needle-prick pains, itching, and crawling sensations, even after baths or sprays and DSP application, try:
-Dab Lactic Acid cream on problematic sores – it will burn approx 30 seconds then subside - the pain will stop.
Reapply DSP over area
-Gently rub 10 ppm Colloidal Silver into problem area, let dry - reapply DSP cream on area

DIRECTIONS for baths or sprays:
Peroxide/Salt Baths:
-Pour 2 or 3 (16 oz bottles) of 3% Hydrogen peroxide into normal bathtub (large Jacuzzi tub use 4 or 5 bottles)
-Pour in one ‘26 oz canister salt
-Fill tub with warm water
-Soak ENTIRE body for 30 minutes or longer [Test water on a sore to make sure solution is not too strong.
It does NOT need to hurt to work. May want to start with 2 bottles and add more as tolerated]
-For ear or eye discomfort, slide under water and let solution enter ears and open eyes to clean them out
should be diluted enough to be tolerable
-You will see lots of floating "things" in beginning – this will clean skin quickly
-Initially, skin might “erupt” and temporary increase in bumps may occur. This is NOT a reaction to peroxide. It is a “die-off” and the skin is expelling dead organisms. It is important to treat ALL the skin to prevent the organisms from moving to an untreated area
-After peroxide bath, wash entire body (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) and rinse – otherwise, peroxide will dry out
skin and hair
-For excessive creepy crawly sensations on scalp, add a hand full of salt to shampoo when washing hair
-Dry with paper towels and discard
-Brush teeth with baking soda toothpaste and rinse mouth with capful of peroxide – rinse toothbrush with peroxide after each use - do twice a day
Peroxide/Salt Sprays:
-If unable to take baths, mix 8 oz warm water, 1 oz peroxide and ½ oz salt
-Wash entire body (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) and rinse
-Stand (or sit) in shower and spray entire body
-Leave on ~ 5 min – rinse, repeat, rinse again [if stings, decrease peroxide and salt]
-Dry with paper towels and discard
Eco-Vie Baths:
-Shower (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) BEFORE using Eco-Vie
-Pour 1/8 cup (equals 1 fl oz, 2 TBS, or 30 cc) Eco-Vie into 4-5 inches lukewarm bath water (measure at shallowest part of tub)
-Soak entire body for 30 min or longer - slide under water and let water enter ears and open eyes
-DO NOT rinse and DO NOT dry - AIR dry (blow dryer helps)
-DO NOT use peroxide and Eco-Vie in same bath water. Peroxide will kill “friendly” bacteria in Eco-Vie
Eco-Vie Sprays:
-Shower (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) BEFORE using Eco-Vie
-If unable take baths, mix 1½ TBS (20cc or ¾ fl oz) Eco-vie and 1 cup lukewarm water in spray bottle
-Spray entire body, inside ears, nostrils, anal and genital areas
-DO NOT rinse – air dry
-Gently rub skin with bare hand in circular motion - you may feel fibers "wadding up" - pull out of skin and discard in paper towel
Vinegar/Salt Baths:
-Shower (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) BEFORE using vinegar
-If using vinegar instead of Eco-Vie, pour 16 oz vinegar in full tub add 1 canister salt
-Soak entire body for 30 min or longer – slide under water and let enter ears and open eyes
-DO NOT dry - air dry
Vinegar/Salt Sprays:
-Shower (with Selsun Blue or Nizoral) BEFORE using vinegar
-Mix 4 oz vinegar, 1 oz salt to 12 oz warm water - if stings, reduce vinegar
-Spray entire body
-DO NOT rinse - air dry

Eyes, Ears, Nose, Genital and other sensitive areas:
You may experience an increase in irritation in certain areas when you begin soaks, sprays, and creams (ear, eye, nose, anal, vaginal, scrotal, belly-button areas). The organisms are "looking" for places to hide where topical (skin) treatments cannot get them. If this occurs try:
-Rub DSP cream on any of the areas (do not put in eyes). Dip a tampon in it and insert it or put on Q-tip and swab ears or nostrils
-Place 2 drops 10 ppm Colloidal Silver into eyes or ears if do not have prescription drops
-Take Eco-Vie bath - slide under water - let water enter ears and open eyes, dip tampon in and insert it, spray on feminine napkin or tissue and place against body
-Make Eco-Vie spritz and spray entire body - inside every orifice: ears, eyes, mouth (swish and spit, don't swallow), nostrils, belly button, under breasts, on/around/inside genital region, anal opening, under buttocks, back of knees, and between toes - air dry
-Use any other method that works for you

III. ENVIRONMENTAL
Home, Car, Clothing (essential to eliminate reinfection)
Home and Cars:
-Purchase plastic zipper mattress covers for beds (Wal-Mart sells many sizes)
-Mix ½ cup Eco-Vie to 2 gallons warm water and pour into spray bottle (or lawn and garden sprayer). Spray ENTIRE home (furniture, drapes, carpets, inside cars, shoes, pet bedding, bare floors) once dry, it will not leave odors (Do monthly)
-Spray Eco-Vie on paper towel and wipe appliances, tables, cabinets, ceiling fans, etc. or use cleaning product with citric acid (see essential items to obtain “i” above)
-Remove all rugs and throw pillows and place in plastic bags and store away
-Vacuum all carpets and furniture and discard vacuum bag
-After initial cleaning, maintenance is much easier - Divide home into sections and clean one section at a time so you don't get overwhelmed and quit before you start
- Obtain an inexpensive room humidifier, fill it with water and add 1/2 cup of Eco-vie. This will mist eco-vie into your air and help decontaminate your environment

Laundry Care and Personal Items:
Personal Items:
-DO NOT use same towel or washrag twice
-DO NOT wear same clothing twice without washing
-Spray hair care items with Eco-Vie after each use
-Spray shoes with Eco-Vie weekly or more often
Laundry:
Technique A:
-Fill washing machine with WARM water and stop machine
-Add 1/8 cup (1 fl oz, 2 TBS, or 30 cc) Eco-Vie, Soak 1-2 hours
-Drain, Add detergent, ½ cup Borax - wash (Whites may discolor from Eco-Vie – use bleach after draining)
-Dry on HOT
Technique B
-Fill washing machine with HOT water and stop machine
-Add 1/8 cup of Citric Powder (test colors prior to use), Soak 1-2 hours
-Drain, add detergent, ½ cup Borax - Wash
-Dry on HOT
Technique C
-Some laundry products already contain citric acid – (see “Essential items to obtain” “i” above)
-Perform Technique B and use product from list instead of citric powder
Technique D
- Order DSP Cleaner from the following site: http://www.s-m-g.org/dsp/us/
- You can use it as a cleaner, environmental spray or add it to your laundry

NOTE:
-Wash all clothes and bedding (pillows, blankets, comforters, stuffed animals) with one of the techniques to kill any eggs or organisms in fabric
-Do the techniques for each load during initial treatment and then as needed
-Wipe dirty laundry baskets with Eco-Vie on paper towel or use a citrus cleaning product
-Place pillows, comforters, stuffed toys, etc in dryer on HIGH heat for 30-45 min each night before bed during initial treatment stage, then as needed thereafter – to eliminate mites or other infestations

Pets:
-Bathe pet in Peroxide/salt baths, wash with Selsun Blue and dip in Eco-Vie bath and let dry on fur and skin (let water enter ears and splash eyes and mouth)
-Wash pet bedding, water, and food bowls weekly or more often
-If cannot bathe pet, spray Eco-Vie directly on pet and let soak into fur
-Can rub pet with DSP cream (if they lick it off – it won’t hurt them)
-If you are concerned about the effects of any of the products on your pet, please consult the mfg of the product

Optional Treatment:
Infrared Sauna - Many bacteria and fungi produce endotoxins that cause fever (body’s natural defense to infection). Infrared heat differs from regular heat saunas because it heats the body rather than the air surrounding the body mimicing natural fever induction. Infrared sauna therapy improves oxygenation, promotes tissue repair (heals scars), and detoxifies. Drink LOTS of fluid before and after. Find one near your home (gym or spa) work up to 30 or 45 minutes twice a week at 120 degrees F or higher.
To buy a pre-made sauna kit:

NOTE: I discovered that an increased body temperature kills the larva when I was admitted to the hospital with 103 + fever. The larva were dropping out of my skin due to my increased body temperature. The doctors decided to let my fever continue until it subsided on its own. The larval stage cannot tolerate elevated body temps. It took raising it ~5 degrees.

Seek help:
This disease affects many individuals with a poor immune system (such as Lyme Disease). It is important to get checked out by a doctor and begin improving your immune system. (Medications may be necessary – see topic II above)

http://www.morgellons-disease-resear...p?topic=1489.0

Product Use Explanation:
Hydrogen peroxide/salt - targets skin lesions (calluses or nests). These sores contain black specks, tiny white seeds and immature wormlike organisms (larvae). The ozone effect created by the hydrogen peroxide and the salinity (saltiness) of the water is very effective at killing these stages of the lifecycle. The lesions ooze a gelatinous type substance that forms a "pseudo-scab" over the sore. It is very difficult to remove. The baths break down this gelatinous pseudo-scab and allow you to clean the wound. The hard white granules (seeds) imbed into skin layers making removal painful and difficult. However after soaking, they are less able to adhere to the tissue. Most skin lesions contain multiple larva (10 or 20) depending on the size of the lesion. If these nests are not cleaned out, they will continue to expand. As the larva mature, they occupy the nest until they are able to make tunnels or burrows creating the "creepy crawly" sensations.

Eco-Vie – is a topical cleanse product that is effective at killing the mature fiber stage of the organisms on skin surface and in the environment. The product is an all natural, non-chemical bactericide and fungicide. Multiple applications of the product must be performed over an extended period of time in order to eliminate all organisms. This product is essential to eliminate environmental organisms from surroundings.

Selsun Blue - contains sulfur (selenium sulfide 1%) and citric acid. This cleans the skin and reduces infection. Selsun Blue also contains menthol, which provides relief from pain and itching.

Lactic Acid Cream - contains 12% lactic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid). It will burn when first applied for approx 30 seconds, like pouring alcohol on an open cut. It is an effective PAIN reliever and will stop the needle-like stabbing pains. It also inhibits the pseudo-scab formation over the lesions, thus enabling the DSP product to enter the lesion and kill the organisms. The lesions actually heal from the bottom of the lesion up instead of from the top down.

DSP - rapidly speeds the healing process and alleviates severe itching and some pain sensations. It penetrates the skin and kills the infection inside the lesions allowing them to heal quickly. There is no pain or burning during application, it is safe and non-toxic and can be used in the ears and nose, and around the eyes, mouth, genital, and anal areas. The initial treatment will require 2-3 large (10 oz) jars per person and maintenance will depend on the individual’s infection and usage of the product.

Borax – sodium tetraborate decahydrate – made from borate salts – it does not contain phosphates or chlorine - it is used as a mild antiseptic, antifungal, and insecticide – it will eliminate mites and other infestations or organisms from material and help keep them away (in the case of a co-infection)

Citric Acid – an acid found in citrus fruits – it is the active ingredient in many household cleaners – it reacts with bases to form salt - this lowers pH, which inhibits bacteria growth – it works similar to vinegar – it has a “bleaching” effect on colors, so be sure to test prior to adding to laundry or using on furniture and carpets.

Colloidal Silver – has bactericidal properties and also helps the immune system fight viruses and fungal infections – it is used to treat severe burns, microbial infections, multi-drug resistant microbes (aka…superbugs), and also helps with tissue regeneration
Silver sulfadiazine cream – contains silver - it is used primarily for burns – it kills bacteria and helps the body regenerate the burned area

Nizoral - contains 1% ketoconazole an antifungal medication that eliminates excessive yeast on the skin and scalp. For best results, leave on skin and scalp for 3-5 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

Conclusion:
These steps DO WORK, but it will take TIME. You should feel better after the first week. DO NOT stop treatment until every sore is healed. Do not give up. You must do this CONSISTENTLY to kill all organisms. It took a while for the infection to take over your body and it will take a while to "undo" the damage.

Once all lesions heal, continue maintenance as needed. If a new bump forms, dab it quickly with DSP. Spray yourself and your environment with Eco-vie as often as necessary to keep safe from reinfection.

May God give you the courage and strength to battle this disease.
You CAN do it!

[jovie]

Hi Bubba just wanted to say i always enjoy reading your posts, they are very informative and helpfull! This is a great post. Now that i understand that your over morgellons but have lyme disease, could you do some thing like this post over on the lyme disease seation too? Thanks

[jovie]

Thank you bubba, I will do some research on the treatments you have listed. If you dont mind me asking, what has been more hard on you? The morgellons or the lyme disease?

[sanhal]

Hi Bubba
I have joined this board looking for help for my friend here in the UK with CFS &/or Lyme with skin parasites.
She has tried a whole lot of things but with no success on the bugs.
I have told her about your treatment but need to know what strength H2O2 you used for the baths.
I assume 3%? We can't find large bottles of that here only 35% or small bottles (100 ml) of 6%.

She already tried Eco-Vie lotion but it did not help.

thanks

Sandy

[sanhal]

Thanks for that Bubba.
Not sure how she used the Eco-vie.
May have to get some more from the US. We don't have it here.

BW
Sandy

[sanhal]

Hi All
My friend here in the UK with some sort of unidentified skin parasite would like to know how many people have tried the Treatment Steps and how many people have been helped by it?
Thanks
Sandy

[sanhal]

Thank you for your trouble Bubba for calling the Eco-Vie company to find out more about it.
That was really kind. I will pass on the info.

We do have chlorinated water here too but my friend uses filtered water.
She says she followed all the directions but it did nothing for her.
I will double check when I next speak to her.

Many thanks

Sandy

Bubba -

Thanks so much for all your research and posting these steps.* I started the soaking 1 week ago, but have not received the eco-vie yet.* Am calling the co. to make sure they got my order.

I was at my wits end - have been trying everything!* I was already doing salt/vit c, but still not well. I am finding hope again.* It is a bit disturbing, though, that my sores have increased from about 10 to about 100!!* I am hoping that this really is the healing process.* Last night after my soak, the fibers were everywhere!!* Do you think this is normal?

Also, I'm wondering if I may be dealing with another organism in addition to Morgellons. I tend to get a sore tongue every now & then, and little tiny white worm looking things appear just below the surface of my tongue. The next a.m. they are usually all white (as though my immune system has attacked them) and then they disappear. Have you experienced anything like that with this disease?

I'm thinking many in my area may be reading your posts.* When I went to buy Hydrogen Peroxide & salt, the shelf was nearly empty!

Anyway - thank you so much for sharing this info!!!* I am hopeful that I will be better soon.* (Though maybe worn to a frazzle by trying to work, keep up with busy high schoolers, wash, vaccuum & soak! :P)

Blessings!

Hello All - I visited this site for the first time yesterday. (Sun 29 Oct) and found very helpful information.* I have suffered from this malady for over 12 years and just recently put a name with the condition. I have been to numerous physicians and spent thousands of dollars only to be told that it is my nerves and I am a "face picker". Unlike some I only have leisons on my face.* I have withdrawn from society.* I feel like a leeper.* This disease has consumed me. My desperation brought me to this site.
Thank you Bubba for educating me on some treatment options.* I tried registering on the Morgellons.org website but it only returned errors.*
My question is - Does anyone know of any live support groups in the US.* I live in Georgia and one would think with the CDC near by, I would have a wealth on information at hand but have been unable to find anything.* Information found on this website if very helpful but I wish to join or start a face to face support group.* I believe it would be helpful to see the person with whom you are discussing your most personal feelings and concerns. The internet is a very useful tool but it lacks that personal feel. Thanks again Bubba and look forward to any information...skit

[Franky]

Talking on yahoo messenger is a great idea! But please dont totally leave us behind, the site will get loney. But all the jokes a side, just be careful with giving out to much personal info to fast. In this and age, you never know what some people are up to.
