Parasites: Little Bugs, Big Trouble

[Sadsack]

I've thought a lot about Dr. Amin and his opinions. Not because I think he is exactly right, but because he is a parasitologist yet has been convinced for at least 15 years that NCS (M) is caused by dental toxins and not parasites.
Not saying I think it is a parasitic disease (per se), but I know many do. He has treated NCS/M successfully, though not all of the time, through intensive detoxification techniques (not just changing out dental materials).
What if what he says is true, that the parasitic component is opportunistic and the primary problem is toxins? And what if that toxin is nanotechnology and can be managed using the same detox techniques as for dental materials?
In some ways I have great respect for him. He truly is a pioneer in this thing, looking at it and trying to understand it many years ago while even today most doctors still refuse to believe it is real!
I don't know where I'm going with this. Just thinking out loud, I guess....

That's a good point SS, actually its kinda weird for a parasitologist to be treating a condition he thinks to be non-parasitic. But if patients present with parasites

Its true that Dr Amin did a great job of describing the symptoms of morgellons a long time ago, in well written articles.

I did have concerns about his treatment claims a couple of years ago...er...let me see ......

Dr. Amin Is Working With CDC

I wonder what his success rate is now? I wish we got more feedback from his patients.

I had fly larvae, eggs and adults coming from my skin pores, years before getting any lesions. But I now understand why someone might assume they are contamination on a wound. Bit like the fibres coming from clothing assumption.

I do think we will find out soon.

Jo .... which sulfur soap are you trying and how long have you been doing it? I lost TCM's link to the other soap but that's okay, I still have 8 bars of Azufre. Make sure you put it on everywhere and shut the water off just hang for 4-5 minutes. (That's when I do my serious talking to God.) You can feel the spots where they are trying to emerge, like a sting. Had a doozy today, left the bar of soap on it while praying and that spot doesn't itch anymore. Buggers love my back, they must know that I can't reach there! I wash my face with it before bed as well. Drying, but I don't give a flying fartola what I look like anymore anyway!

I think about Dr Amin also and wonder about these same things. If he's working for the CDC, is he open about it? Is he part of the 'team' of experts? What I wonder is how a parasitologist could say for sure that parasites are secondary, when 'parasite' could mean fungi, protein, virus, bacteria as well as any commonly known parasite like roundworm.

While I have come to conclude myself that toxins allow the environment for parasites to take over in the body, I doubt it's all that cut and dried. Dr. Hulda Clark said she has seen either a parasite or toxin involved in every patient she has treated for some disease. I don't believe she said both (not sure). This is what got her kicked out of our country. (may she rest in peace....she has accomplished so much for humanity).

So, to my way of thinking, even if the parasite is secondary....we want to know what it is.

From Amin's bio, it seems he USED to work with the CDC, probably in their parasite division. From what I understand, the CDC spoke with NO one prior to their investigation (although I picked up somewhere that they were in contact with the MRF; not sure if this is true).

This is an excerpt from his 2004 article:

"What is most disturbing is diagnosing patients with various mental disorders, e.g., psychosis, anxiety disorder, delusional parasitosis or the charging that the dermatological symptoms were self inflicted. Thirteen patients (54%) were given diagnosis of mental disorders (Table 1). The ensuing trauma has driven a few of my patients to the edge, contemplating suicide. Medical professionals do need to have a better understanding of NCS as a genuine clinical syndrome and deal with their patients from that perspective."

I've spoken with his clinic, with Dr. Schaller, and with Dr. Staninger. They all claim to get 100% remission IF patients adhere strictly to their protocol, though the three have different approaches. Amin and Staninger are closer, though, as they both approach from the perspective of detoxification.

We all know Morgies who have or have had "bugs" or parasites. Unfortunately, in most cases it's been self-diagnosis. I know one person who had strongyloids diagnosed; all in the Dill family had Blastocystis and there was another person (?Sidney?) who also reported this. Blastocystis is a single cell protozoa, and of course is parasitic in nature as are viruses, bacteria, etc. But I think he - Amin - is referring to larger parasites, like worms, flies, etc.

Anyway, I don't really understand Amin, but I am 80% sure he is OK, at least as OK as anyone else treating this mess. I don't think he is a "double agent", then of course maybe they all are...lol...

One last thought. If he is a leading expert in parasitology, which he seems to be, he must know every way to test for them. Does he test for them with his NCS patients?

btw - I like the name "Neurocutaneous Syndrome" a heck of a lot better than "Morgellons".
