Please forgive the usage of this address (listed on the morgellons.org website as a link for physician inquiries) as I myself am not a Doctor, rather, (I believe) a sufferer of this disease/syndrome. At present I can think of no more appropriate place to pose my question and present my theory to you.
After having done somewhat extensive research online myself, I am drawn to the theory that Morgellon's Syndrome is actually a "symptom" if you will, of a "hidden" possibly antibiotic resistant bacterial infection, such as Chlamydia Pneumonia. (as theorized on the morgellonstreatmentsteps.com website)
Pursuant to that idea, I would like to pose the additional theory that the "Morgellon's parasite", if indeed there is such a thing, could actually be present in the body of the Morgellon's sufferer due to the presence of bacteria inside the cells? (Chlamydia Pneumonia specifically) Could these "parasites" simply be feeding on any bacteria present, internally and externally?
My concern is that by treating the symptom, ie. attempting to eliminate this parasite from the body (colliodal silver, salt diet, peroxide/salt baths, etc.), rather than the cause, could this not possibly have the unintended long term effect of strengthening the underlying bacterial infection, and thus do more harm than good?
Do you feel this idea has credence or has your research already disproved this theory or led you in other directions?
Sincerely,
David Franklin

Thank you for your email. We have no idea what causes Morgellons.
Your theory is as valid as anyones. Sometimes, bacteria and parasites
work together. For example, with Microfilia, patients are treated
with both antibiotics for the bacteria that the parasite lives on plus
antiparasitics.
We need research to answer all of the questions surrounding this
disease. I hope that you will consider making a donation.
Thanks

I have forwarded the response (above) that I got back from the Morgellon's Research Foundation in case you are interested in reading it.
I am very glad that Dr. Buckner was able to take the time to respond. (most Doctors I have emailed thus far, seeking help and/or information about morgellons have not bothered to respond, and the ones I have been to see, none of whom had even HEARD of Morgellons, have all misdiagnosed me, often as delusional) I continue to be discouraged however, by the complete lack of any kind of helpful information regarding what I should do to remedy my steadily worsening condition, even from a source like this that professes to be an authority in the area of Morgellons.
After all my efforts, I am still at square 1, having accomplished nothing whatsoever.
Best regards,
David Franklin

David,
It is a fascinating, out of the box, theory. It seems to me though, that step one is going to have to be proving that the disease exists in the minds of the skeptical. Has anyone done genetic or molecular testing on the fibers to ascertain their content and origin? It would occur to me to start looking at other known organisms that produce fibers as a byproduct of their existence, i.e., spiders, silkworms, and so forth. And then to posit the existence of microbial relative capable of doing the same. Has antibiotics been successful in treating or curing any known instance of Morgellon's? If not, it would seem more likely a virus, in which case we'd be back to step one. (As far as I know virus don't produce byproduct.) I suspect the research keeps you engaged and makes you feel like you are making progress; keep it up and don't get discouraged.

Hi S,
I've missed our chats. I had meant to thank you for the cds on several occasions, but i lose my train of thought so easily it makes it challenging to complete such a goal. (Thank you!)
Apparently morgellons symptoms dissipate after a heavy regimen of antibiotics targeted towards eradicating the difficult to detect, and even more difficult to defeat, "Chlamydia Pneumonia".
I sure would love to get on some of those antibiotics, but have thus far been unsuccessful in finding a morgellons literate doctor that will see me without charging a hefty fee up front. (as I have no money to pay them for their services)

Aren't your parents in Arizona? Have them run down to Mexico. You can buy antibiotics over the counter down there. (It is possible to do that in FREE countries.)

An interesting idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Are ALL antibiotics available without prescription? it would probably be easier for me to make it down to Tijuana though, than for them to head below the border themselves. (they are very busy, and it is still a 5 hour drive from Phoenix to Mexico)
It also occurs to me that my father lives in Las Cruces, NM which is less than 2 hours from Mexico, AND his job takes him all over the region.
Then there is the issue of money, of which I have none (nor does my father presently), but still it is an idea to pursue. I wonder how cheap meds are in Mexico?

Meds are pretty cheap. As for which ones are available over the counter, and how easy it is to get them back over the border, I don't know. Also I suppose there is the issue the quality control. But check it out. I know on the ship that people claimed they would stock up on antibiotics when they were in Cozumel. I never bought any myself, so this is just second hand (rumor I suppose).

Hi David,
They are trying to get closer to the answers. Here are 2 areas they are focusing on:
1. actinomycoses and nocardiosis
2. microfilaria
Regarding the antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic protocol...
At this point it is not certain whether the meds are killing the actual Morgellons organisms themselves or possibly the pathogens (bacteria, fungi, etc) that may be attracting the Morgellons organisms to a person's body in the first place...this attraction might be due to the pathogens being a potential source of food, reproduction, or who knows what else.
The treatement method outlined in the Vanderbilt protocol targets the underlying infections (chlamydia, babesia, borrelia, etc). Many people have reported that once they get these infections under control, their Morgellons symptoms also resolve. It can take years of continual oral medication treatment before adequate results are achieved. Some individuals take 3-5 years of continual oral treatment before their symptoms resolve.
There are individuals who have searched the internet and found ways to obtain medications from pharmacy sites and veterinarian sites. However, it is not recommended that people self medicate. It is very important to obtain adequate lab testing and monitoring from a healthcare provider.

It sounds like the "Morgellon's Research Foundation" has not yet been able to find out anything that would be helpful, in which case they are being honest with you. Certainly they can't diagnose or treat anyone over the internet, and obviously they won't do so unless you are their patient and are paying them (or have an insurance company that will pay them). It was nice of Dr. Buckner to respond to you, as you said, even if you still feel frustrated by his response.
Love, Mom
(Did you get the second Halloween card I sent you?)

Yes, I got the 2 cards & the $6 you enclosed a couple days ago. Thanks! Wow! 2 Halloween cards AND $6! What a very odd and unexpected (yet very appreciated) surprise in the mailbox! Was that intended as busfare so I can get to the G.A. Office this week? Anyway, whatever the reason that is most likely what it will be used for! Thanks! It will definitely come in handy!
I intend to go on Monday and re-apply for caap now that the 60 day penalty period has passed. I got a response from the lady who runs morgellonstreatmentsteps.com who I forwarded Dr. Buckner's response to. I will forward it to you.
My friend S suggested going to Mexico to buy the recommended antibiotic regimen for eliminating Chlamydia Pneumonia (avail without prescription, and cheap apparently).
BTW, It appears there is a Dr. in your area, out near the mayo clinic, that treats morgellons. Could you check with him to see if he will see me in my present financial status? Maybe I can come home for Thanksgiving for a couple weeks, get diagnosed, and begin some type of treatment regimen if so! When I come back, (presumably with my diagnosis in hand) perhaps that would be enough to begin the process of applying for disability?
