The Latest News on Morgellons Syndrome

The Latest News on Morgellons Syndrome 9/12/2021

Sandy shared a Health Line article she found titled, "Morgellons." which was Medically reviewed by Nicole Washington, DO, MPH — Written by Nancy Moyer, M.D. — Updated on August 3, 2021
"ResearchTrusted Source from 2018 found that 6 percent of study participants with Lyyme disease also had MD. Based on annual Lyme disease diagnoses, the study estimated that there may be over 19,000 cases of MD each year and over 300,000 total MD cases in the United States"

Of course this number doesn't count the thousands and maybe tens of thousands dismissed as suffering from delusions of parasites.

The report notes,

"The study noted that MD often occurred in people who:

had tick-borne infections
had an H. pylori infection
were women"

This is interesting. Yes, I'd say that Morgellons is experienced by nine women to every man. But, many of those women report that their spouses have symptoms but ignore them.

And from the questionnaires I receive, it's rare that anyone reports the onset of Morgellons caused by a tick. Usually, it's some other kind of mite.

H pylori infection is typically experienced by many Morgellons sufferers. And my opinion is that Monsanto with their glyphosate (a natural antibiotic) and their GMO's contribute to break down of gut biome leading to H pylori infections, leaky gut syndrome and so on as pointed out in an article published by Penn State Extension, Glyphosate (Roundup): Understanding Risks to Human Health

So, if you are expecting to find something new in it about Morgellons, there's little new information.

I am at loss as to why experts write about Morgellons who have no personal or professional experience with Morgellons. They don't even read Dr. Savely's book, much less my book. It reminds me of papers I wrote in college - an exercise in how to research but they don't even research the subject thoroughly.

I thank Sandy for bringing this article to my attention. Others often send me articles, but they don't think to check the dates of publication which are often ten years old - useless today. This article is so new I can smell the vinyl. lol. So, before you send me your findings, please don't get excited about the title of the article until after you check the publication date. If it's less than a year old, please send it to me so I may share it with everyone.
