Is Morgellons an Internet Disease?

You do not have to have been in the US Civil War to know that it happened. You also do not have to have been there 30 years ago when AIDS victims presented themselves to the medical community for help to know that they were treated about the same way that Morgellons victims are being treated now. They were dismissed as ‘delusional’ often incarcerated involuntarily in mental hospitals, ridiculed and told “it is all in your head.”  Thirty years later, AIDS is a pandemic disease rivaling Cancer that decimates the victim’s immune system.

 

What happened in order for the medical community to actually ‘take a real look’ at AIDS for them to invest BILLIONS of dollars into AIDS research? There needed to be a financial incentive for researchers and pharmaceutical companies to devote money to discovering what AIDS is and how to effectively treat it.

 

When Morgellons Disease infects a US Senator, a celebrity or some other well-known personality, sufficient public attention will arise and when there are sufficient numbers of victims, the established researchers and scientists will begin to investigate Morgellons Disease in earnest.

 

In the mean time, what can a Morgellons victim do to reduce the relentless pain and suffering? They turn to the Internet to find lotions and potions that occasionally produce some minor and temporary relief.  They share stories and support each other in any way that makes sense to them. Some have taken ‘dog de-wormers’ and other harmful substances labeled ‘not intended for human consumption.’

 

It is a huge stretch of the imagination to assume that Morgellons victims have made up stories based upon what they have seen and shared on forums and blogs.  These people suffer 24/7 with the sensation of ‘critters’ biting and scratching them.  They endure non-healing lesions and severe ‘brain-fog’, depression which can lead to suicide, chronic fatigue and irritability.  Their bones ache and some Morgellons victims experience their hair and nails falling out.

 

These Morgellons victims need to be treated with respect and compassion, not distain and contempt.  They are our mothers and sisters, fathers and brothers and they need our understanding and caring.  They need to be listened to and taken seriously.  They are human beings that suffer horribly. Who knows; you may become symptomatic from Morgellons Disease and wish you were believed as well.
