Morgellons Society of Canada

    The purpose of Morgellons Society of Canada is to support and encourage people with Morgellons symptoms, their family members, friends and caregivers.

    Dear Visitor,

    After a drawn-out and painstaking recapitulation of the Morgellons enigma for the last four years we are ready to offer a more realistic, practical and to some extend controversial view of this phenomenon. Derived from our own experience, discussions, letters, e-mails and meetings with hundreds of men and women with a firsthand knowledge of the Morgellons affliction, a new and perhaps unconventional theory came to light. For those expecting a customary account, based on scientific or medical findings, please go to our links page where you will find numerous connections to more orthodox web sites.

    The Morgellons encounter has led us to the realization that this affliction is entirely foreign to the belief system of the majority. The malady is characterized by a multitude of symptoms such as disturbing crawling feelings on or under the skin, stinging, biting and itching sensations, non-healing lesions and the presence of unexplainable fibers protruding from the skin. A greater part of medical professionals, such as general practitioners, dermatologists, infectious disease specialists and psychiatrists, are unwilling, or unable, to perceive the appearance of an unfamiliar disorder in tens of thousands of patients.  The Morgellons symptoms are disregarded not only by the medical establishment, but also ignored by the government health departments, health insurance companies and research facilities. Co-workers, associates, friends and family members of people with Morgellons are, more often than not, blind to the challenges faced by those affected.

     Since Morgellons is an "out of the box" matter, the tools most needed in order to shed a light on this puzzle are circumspection and open-mindedness. Only after a full survey of factual events, painful incidents and often bizarre experiences with Morgellons one can begin to fathom the colossal paradox we are confronting. It is hard to understand and even harder to explain that individuals with Morgellons, at the onset of symptoms, rarely know anybody else experiencing the same. They may chance upon others later, usually through internet search, while attempting to find out what is wrong with them after having been brushed aside and/or misdiagnosed by their doctors.  It would also make sense, if Morgellons were a typical infection, a person with Morgellons utilizing a shared laundry facility for the building would become a source of infection to other tenants. However, cases of this sort are not reported. On the other hand, there are reports of guests finding themselves with symptoms after a house visit or vice versa. There are families with only one member exhibiting Morgellons symptoms, whereas in other families everybody is affected including pets and house plants. It is astounding that after four years of research and numerous enquiries to CDC, BCCDC, universities research divisions, and government health departments, to mention a few, there are increasingly more questions and only a few conflicting answers. The answers available are coming from a few individuals who took the Morgellons mystery, more or less, as a personal challenge.                                                         

    Randy Wymore, Ph.D., assistant professor of Pharmacology and Physiology who directs the Center for the Investigation of Morgellons Disease at Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, collected and compared samples from Morgellons patients to a large assortment of textile fibers, hair and dust. He could not find any similarities. He eventually took the samples to the Tulsa Police Department Forensics laboratory. Fiber experts Mark Boese and Ron Pogue ran a series of tests on two red and two blue Morgellons fibers. Both men decided the fibers were like nothing they had seen before. They compared the fibers to a database of more than 900 known compounds used in textiles, but found no match. They also heated a blue fiber to more than 700 degrees. The fiber became darker but was not destroyed by the process. The lab experts determined the fibers were not fiberglass and did not match anything in their database of 90,000 organic compounds.

    Hildegarde Staninger, Ph.D., industrial Toxicologist/IH & Doctor of Integrative Medicine, presented a report on Morgellons on September 6, 2007 at the National Registry of Environmental Professionals conference in San Antonio, Texas. Her research paper, Morgellons - A Nano - 911 Foreign Invader, indisputably points to nano-technology as the cause of the Morgellons problems. Staninger's FMM project connects the nano-particles recovered from human bodies to nano-particles from chemtrails collected in Texas.

    Vitaly Citovsky, Ph. D., professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, states in his findings that "all Morgellons patients screened to date have tested positive for the presence of Agrobacterium, whereas this microorganism has not been detected in any of the samples from the control group of healthy individuals." The research team's preliminary conclusion is that Agrobacterium may be involved in the etiology and/or progression of Morgellons disease. In this case it shows that a soil bacterium, extensively manipulated in the laboratory and used in the making of genetically modified crops is the cause of the Morgellons epidemic. 

    Clifford. E. Carnicorn's research identifies five recurring pathogenic forms invading the major systems of the human body. These forms include a sub-micron network of filaments, bounding filament forms, spherical structures, "hybrid" forms of ribbon-like nature, and "budding" forms which seem to emerge from the encasing filaments. Carnicorn matched the first three forms with airborne environmental samples - chemtrails. His research supports the contention that the general health of the population, not only people exhibiting Morgellons symptoms, has been seriously compromised by the pathogenic forms under examination. 

    It is very odd that an institution established for public health protection, such as the Atlanta's Centre for Disease Control, has been very slow in responding to complaints about Morgellons symptoms they have been receiving for the last six years. The Morgellons research project was passed on from CDC to Kaiser Permanente, California health services provider. Disappointingly, after one full year of research there are no results available and no reports of what was exactly done up to date. The Canadian Ministry of Health and BC Center for Disease Control are not ready to take any initiative and have made a decision to await results of the California research. Thousands of Canadians affected with the Morgellons symptoms are baffled and frustrated with their blasé attitude.
