"...though they did say that the fibers were compared to the FBI database of over 100,000 types with no match."<br><br>Uhm, correction: That was 10,000 fibers in the FBI database that the suspect fibers didn't match.<br><br>Sure got MY attention.<br><br>As did the absurdity of so-called doctors making public on-air diagnosis of patients and symptoms they haven't even seen.<br><br>Surprisingly, the issue was treated with a good measure of respect, and some good information was presented.<br><br>Recall, tho, the one high muckety-muck 'Doctor' who discounted morgollons although he's never even examined patients afflicted or so much as looked at the fiber evidence <br>-- what's THAT all about: Gatekeeping, or professional snobbery, or??? Talk about conceited 'can't show ME anything new!' arrogance. <br><br>What's VERY bizarre is how morgollons seems to have attributes of fungus, virus, bacteria, rash, mold, moles, warts, scabs, boils, gout, and whatnot.<br><br>A mutated, opportunistic environmental parasite-disease organism?<br><br>Not untypically, like many new, previously unknown mysteries in science, much serious examination and discovery breakthroughs are being led by doctors and scientists from outside the most relevant medical and disease specialist fields (as if the experts are too intimidated by an unknown something that baffles them that they'd rather deny it can exist under their very noses, and so the patients MUST be suffering a psychosomatic delusion).<br><br>Not being taken seriously by one's doctor and the medical profession in-general brings with it enormous stress, anxiety, frustration and depression-- which tends to magnify suffering.<br>Whatever the fact of this condition or disease, I sure empathize with what the victims are going thru.<br><br>(I expect Tea Tree Oil, Olive Leaf extract, Tiger Balm/Balsam, Wintergreen/Peppermint, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Garlic Concentrate and DMSO have been tried by numerous sufferers -- But they'd be what I'd probably start with. I'm sort-of curious about non-alternative Asian/Chinese treatments, including accupuncture.<br><br>Seems morgollon's could well be linked to a compromised immune system -- so anything to vitalize one's own immune system (like juicing) would be, could be, of great benefit.<br><br>What about possible benefit of whole-body/mind spiritual healing Rituals like the Native American Church wuth Peyote, and South American Ayuasco (among others) practices?<br><br>Starman <p></p><i></i>
