Different types of Parasites

[Janice]

Interesting tid bit...


Parasite droppings can turn into fungus, which can then turn into a virus. This is the principle of pleomorphism. Refer to the book, The Alchemist’s Handbook to Homeopathy, by Hardy, Nonman and Foley for more on pleomorphism.

Erectores pilorum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Arrector pili)
Jump to:navigation, search


The arrectores pilorum (singular arrector pili) are small muscles which attach to the hair follicles in mammals. Contraction of these muscles causes the hairs to stand on end - known colloquially as goose bumps.

Each arrector pili is composed of a bundle of smooth muscle fibres which attach to several follicles (a follicular unit), and is innervated by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. The contraction of the muscle is therefore involuntary - stresses such as cold, fear etc. may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and thus cause contraction, but the muscle is not under conscious control.

Contraction of the muscles has a number of different purposes. Its principle function in the majority of mammals is to provide insulation: air becomes trapped between the erect hairs, helping the animal retain heat. Erection of the porcupine's long, thick hairs causes the animal to become more intimidating, scaring predators. Pressure exerted by the muscle may cause sebum to be forced along the hair follicle towards the surface, protecting the hair.

The effectiveness of the muscles' action in humans has been questioned, as humans have relatively little body hair to allow for thermal insulation.

no kidding? this thread needs some photos - you got any of the Morgs in action doing this? I thought it was just moldy mold? lol We don't care much for 'theories' out here, ya' know?

Now, I happen to know someone who DOES have some in action... but...

[Janice]

but what????

[Janice]

Your statment " we don't care much for theories out here" was uninvited, unneccasary, and has a very red neck ring to it. Don't read any of my threads and you wont be in danger. Peace... out Janice

why are you telling us about these muscles?

I am about to post information about hair folicals. For me , I like to understand from the ground up.
My hair folicals are affected by this. They stand up very strait like a porkupine at times. So I want to know why. Thanks for the question, just got too tired last night to tie it all in. Janice

Parasitic folliculitis

Parasites causing folliculitis (inflammation of a follicle) are usually small pathogens that burrow into the hair follicle to live there or lay their eggs. Mites such as Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are natural parasites of the human pilo-sebaceous follicle, and Demodicosis is the name of the disease or condition caused by these parasites. These mites are found in higher concentration in areas of the body with more sebaceous glands, as well as in abundant sebum production areas such as the chest, back, temple, periorbital area and nose. Usually these mites live in our hair follicles without cuasing any problems beyond some itching, but sometimes the response of the body to these parasites can be more severe. It is believed that the mites can act by provoking a small allergic reaction in the follicle, blocking the follicle, or allowing other microorganisms to infect the skin.

The spectrum of the skin disorders due to these follicle parasites includes:

*
Follicular pityriasis (skin disease characterized by epidermal shedding of flaky scales), eruptions of the scalp with or without pus
*
Acne rosacea (a chronic dermatitis of the face characterized by a red or rosy coloration with deep-seated papules and pustules)
*
Some cases of blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids)
*
Perioral dermatitis
*
Pustular folliculitis
*
Hyper-pigmented plaques (superficial elevated solid lesions greater than 1 cm)

All these conditions show rapid response to topical permethrin cream (a topical insecticide used to treat mites) or systemic ivermectin or itraconazole (where a complicating fungal infection along with the mites is suspected).

I feel the albendazole helped reduce the population of mites for me and that's why my face doesn't feel like cob webs tickleing as much. I still have the debris though.The other day I had about a 2 inch cob web type fiber come out of a lesion, I don't think it was a filaria because the end had a Y. So I'm thinking it has to be fungus. I don't believe the plastic theory because of the reactions I get from the full moon, new moon & storms. Whatever it is it's Alive.
