FUCKING WOW MAN!!! My doctor from the walk-in clinic near our house has been researching this strange illness for years, since he first detected it in his cat, and then in himself (he'd likely been infected from the cat). It's a fungus of some sort that shows signs of being sentient, it jumps around and it hides when it's in danger. It grows out of the skin in lesions that don't heal as little fibres. Most psychologists and Dermatologists currently believe that Morgellons is not a real disease. The head dermatologist of the CDC does NOT believe that Morgellons exists. Well, now Conrad has proven that it DOES. Currently many morgellons sufferers are being diagnosed as having delusional parasitosis, aka "it's all in your mind", since the disease makes them have itchy skin as if there was bugs crawling under it. They reject the fibres even though they are offered for evidence. After being sent to a fibre specialist who ran it under his machine it was shown not to match any known fibre. Still that was not enough to convince the medical establishment. Well thankfully now Conrad has been able to pinpoint the cause and prove that it does exist and can give Morgellons sufferers legitimacy in their quest for treatment.
At first he didn't mention (maybe the lesions hadn't shown up yet, it's a progressive disease) the fibres and he wasn't going to call it Morgellons, but then they showed up and he was able to make a positive diagnosis. He's been pulling fibres from his feet.
There's a specific light under which it's more readily visible, and he has photos and video to prove it. I've seen it with my own eyes, he showed it to us about 6 months ago, before he was calling it Morgellons, back then he was joking about calling it Lansdowne disease, because of the location of the clinic, haha.
So the next step is to replicate the research with other Morgellons sufferers, don't you think? Plus, have it'll be peer reviewed if it hasn't already. I'm not sure if he's done either of those yet, but in any case, he's got a book being published, the first publishing is 10 thousand copies but I'm sure he will get a second publishing, it's pretty much breakthrough evidence!
I remember I read that someone online found relief with an experimental bath treatment mixing some different things together, it seemed to stop the fibres from coming back for a while. I had it saved on a computer but I don't think it's on this one anymore. I will search this computer, but if not I will try to find it online again and print it out to give him to use in his testing. If it works, it would at least be a step in the right direction for a cure!
I am VERY excited about this, if you hadn't noticed! hehehe
