Living with Morgellons-Treatment Suggestions

[JCNME]

I missed the bit about the salt with the borax in the laundry. How much do you use?

JCNME -

I use 1/2 cup of Borax and 1/2 cup of salt with my regular detergent...

Gigi - Thanks - it makes sense to include the salt

Hey there!
my clothes were totally 'contaminated' with fibers and strange objects...even transmitted over to my kids clothes..omg....over washing machine and/or dryer. So I decided I had to do something..of course...

I did some research...since adding normal salt or borax didn't seem to do the job...I got some disinfectant detergent, the kind Hospitals use...

You can wash your clothes even at low temperatures..and it kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and Morgs...lol...

I wash my clothes separately from those of my kids..and let it soak for 4-5 hours ...just to be sure...although I probably wouldn't need to...because it 'works' already after 20 minutes...

Since I am using this....EVERYTHING is gone!! For the rinse cycle I either use disinfectant sollution (specially made for washing clothes in low temperatures) or Chlorine....

Here is what it's made of:

Natrium Disilikat
Fatalcohol Ethyoxylat
Natrium Alkybenzolsulfonat
Natriumkarbonat
Natriumperkarbonat

Where did you get this detergent?

How do you use it exactly?
You use it in your rinse cycle or wash cycle or both?
thanks.

I believe Morgellons is caused by a parasite, with similar charactertics to a tick and flea. The parasite ingests blood and becomes larger, like a tick, also can move by jumping at one developmental stage. I have found, what I believe to be Morgellons parasites, in vomitus and stools. The parasites are inside a small opal shaped shell. Looking at the shell one would think this is a tiny seed. (As my Doctor said) However, by crushing the shell, it's very hard, a parasite can be found inside. Sometimes several parasites inside the same shell-like material. The so-called "black specks" are tiny, recently hatched parasites. By taking the tip of a sharp object (finger nails will work) and slowly moving the parasite will stimulate a jumping reflex. Why? I have had Morgellons for 3+ years, and have made several observations. I have taken specimens to several Doctors, but they refuse to even look, one told me by studying my specimens, he would be encouraging my Delusional behavior. If I went to a Doctor c/o chest pain, nausea, left arm pain, would they refuse to do some cardiac testings because they might re-enforce my belief that I had a heart problem? I think not, however it is "ok" to dismiss Morgellons patients, refuse to even listen or study the condition. Just because it's not "in the books" doesn't mean it isn't real. Many diseases were not in the medical books until recently, AIDS, as an example.. Thanks for reading this, hope the information is helpful.

sorry Gigi...somehow I missed your post...

I buy it on line....I use it in the wash cycle and let the laundry soak for 4 - 5 hours...although I wouldn't need to..cuz it says it KILLS everything in about 20 minutes..but I just want to be sure....oh..well..

Besides that I use disinfectant clothes rinse in the rinse cycle..

I really make a big issue out of laundry...lol..but at least I got RID of everything...

I'm not sure if you can purchase this stuff on line somewhere in the US tho...but I think Marc Neumann is selling some disinfectant solution over at his site...I recognized the bottle...

While surfing the Internet, I found an interesting article about Myiasis, the reproduction cycle of flies. Some of the symptoms of myiasis infestion are similar to Morgellons symptoms. Could an unknown fly species be the cause of Morgellons? According to one source less than one half of the earth's insects have been documented. Perhaps, this is a factor in the Morgellons mystery? Just wanted to share this bit of information for your consideration. Have a good day.

I am new to the board...and new to Morgellons. I have read and tried many of the "at home" solutions mentioned here and elsewhere. I wanted to share something that worked for me sort of out of the blue. I have been starting to experience severe arthritis in my hands, arms and ankles...so I bought some of that mentholated muscle rub (like Ben-Gay.)

First I took a long bath in JOHNSON'S FOOT SOAP (BORAX) and Epsom salts.
I got out of the bath and did not dry off.
I slathered almost a whole tube of Ben-gay type cream all over my body...even scalp and feet. It was INTENSE and was hot and cold all at the same time. I didn't think I could take it ...but I gritted my teeth and after about 5 minutes the burning subsided.

Almost immediately I noticed a HUGE decrease in crawling and itching.....After three days of doing this, no new lesions...old ones healing and arthritis about 90% gone.... Still some itching but greatly reduced.

I think the key was applying the cream right after the bath...pores were open and it penetrated very deeply.

Has anyone else tried something like this with success?

Someone here is studying the connection to this Fly.
And it does look like a Candidate.
