Morgellons and Treatment: Insights from Marty Ross, MD

What’s Behind Morgellons

What’s happening: Morgellons, a condition marked by painful skin lesions and systemic symptoms, often faces skepticism. Dr. Marty Ross, a Lyme disease specialist, delves into the complexities of Morgellons, its symptoms, and potential treatment strategies.

Why it matters: Those affected by Morgellons struggle with symptoms that extend beyond the skin, often feeling dismissed by mainstream medical communities as having psychosomatic disorders. However, Dr. Ross uncovers critical links between Morgellons and Lyme disease plus tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia.

Reality check: The hallmark of Morgellons is the formation of sores and ulcers that can itch, burn, and produce black and other colored filaments—concentrated keratin fibers, not parasites. Laboratory studies confirm, the lesions and fibers are not caused by parasitic infections. Complicated further by co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia, over 90% of Dr. Ross’s patients with Morgellons also have Lyme disease or other underlying tick-borne infections which are the cause. In Marty Ross, MD’s opinion, Morgellons is a skin manifestation of Lyme and other tick-borne infecions.

The big picture: Connecting Morgellons to Lyme disease guides treatment strategies. By recognizing Lyme and tick-borne infections as the cause, Dr. Ross and other experts like Ginger Savely, DNP, aim to treat with a focus on managing these infections.

Go deeper with the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Diseases Protocol:

Follow the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Disease Protocol to recover from Morgellons.

Immune Support: Utilizes probiotics, curcumin, ashwagandha, and multivitamins for enhanced recovery.
Detoxification: Emphasizes toxin removal to alleviate symptoms.
Infection Management: Balances herbal and prescription antibiotics to tackle infections.

Zoom out with lifestyle: A plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet facilitates healing, with probiotics supporting gut health during antibiotic treatment. Prioritizing sleep, exercise, and stress management is pivotal for comprehensive recovery.

The bottom line: The Ross Protocol blends medical treatment with lifestyle changes, offering hope and effective recovery strategies for individuals with Morgellons and related conditions.

The Fall of the Academic Publishing Cartel & Trust in Media Hits New Low

The Fall of the Academic Publishing Cartel

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Nov 01, 2024

Most of the major publishers, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Sage Publications and Taylor & Francis, have formed a cartel under the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers. The Cartel controls two-thirds of global journal publications, enforces unpaid peer reviews, restricts manuscript submissions, and delays scientific progress—all to protect their multi-billion-dollar profits. This resulted in a recent class action lawsuit against the Cartel for “tremendous damage to science and the public interest.”

The Cartel’s corruption extends to censoring critical genetic injection safety data in accordance with the Biopharmaceutical Complex, likely costing lives. A prime example of this is when Cartel member Elsevier violated COPE guidelines and immediately censored the Hulscher et al autopsy study proving a casual link between COVID-19 vaccines and death after it became the #1 trending research paper worldwide across all subject areas…..(See link for article)

I always try to find the silver lining in bad situations. The coming fall of the scientific publishing cartel is one silver lining.

How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Dental Disease

How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Dental Disease

Many of those “incurable” conditions respond remarkably to DMSO

A Midwestern Doctor

Oct 31, 2024

DMSO can often significantly improve one’s vision, treat conditions such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and at times allow blind individuals to regain their sight. It is also often very helpful for sore and strained eyes and relieves excessive irritation and inflammation, along with many other eye conditions (e.g., cataracts).
DMSO frequently treats a variety of ear conditions such as tinnitus, hearing loss, airplane ear, and a variety of infections inside the ear (e.g., otitis media).
DMSO often is very helpful for sinusitis and a variety of infections of the nose and throat. Likewise, it is extremely helpful in dentistry, both for cleaning the mouth (e.g., by preventing bleeding gums), and by allowing the mouth to rapidly heal after dental surgeries.
In this article, I will review the evidence supporting each of those uses, along with the data demonstrating the safety of these methods of DMSO administration and instructions on how to do them.

DMSO is a phenomenally effective medicine that can treat a wide variety of common, debilitating, or incurable conditions, which allowed it to rapidly take the country by storm (as both the public and the medical community saw its results and rapidly embraced it). Unfortunately, the widespread enthusiasm behind something that completely changed medicine and allowed people to care for themselves independently was unacceptable to the FDA. For the next two decades, the agency went to incredible lengths to suppress it (e.g., it actively defied Congress for over 16 years) and eventually made DMSO become a Forgotten Side of Medicine.

Note: extensive data shows that DMSO is a very safe substance with negligible toxicity.

In turn, one of the truly ironic things about this was that many of those who attacked DMSO later needed it. For example, the pioneer of DMSO discusses how Former President Lyndon Johnson sought his help in 1971 —after his FDA commissioner had just spent almost three years weaponizing the FDA against anyone wishing to use DMSO (which in turn set the stage for many of the police-state tactics the FDA would illegally use against natural medicine in the decades to come).

Note: in the previous article I erroneously stated this conversation took place in 1981 not 1971 (at which point LBJ was deceased).

I have now received hundreds of unbelievable reports from readers (which can be read here) of what DMSO did for them—many of which are almost identical to what people reported fifty years ago before the FDA wiped DMSO off the map.

For context, the majority of those reports were for the most common uses of DMSO, such as chronic pain, acute injuries, and arthritis (discussed further here). However, as discussed here, DMSO is also immensely valuable for a variety of circulatory and neurological disorders (e.g., varicose veins, hemorrhoids, Down Syndrome, and Parkinson’s)—all of which readers here reported significant improvement from. Likewise, (as discussed here) DMSO also helps various autoimmune conditions.

In this article, I will focus on another group of conditions DMSO was found to be extraordinarily effective—those within the head.

Note: headaches were covered in a previous article and will not be discussed here. (See link for article)

Molecular Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Borrelia miyamotoi, Babesia odocoilei, Babesia microti and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes Ticks Collected across Canada

Abstract

Tick-borne zoonotic diseases are a profound challenge to healthcare practitioners, and an overwhelming scourge to patients worldwide. On the whole, patients have great difficulty getting diagnosed and treated, and often become chronically ill. In this study, we tested 224 ticks consisting of Ixodes angustus, Ixodes pacificus, and Ixodes scapularis. Using real-time PCR and nested PCR, we obtained the following positives:

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (n = 74)
Borrelia miyamotoi (n = 4)
Babesia odocoilei (n = 82)
Babesia microti (n = 1)
Anaplasma phagocytophilum (n = 8)

Markedly, B. odocoilei and B. burgdorferi were detected in I. scapularis ticks nationwide. As well, the Canada-wide prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. and B. odocoilei in I. scapularis adults was 40% and 36%, respectively. The statistical ratio of B. odocoilei to B. microti in I. scapularis adults was 60 to 1. Babesia odocoilei is, unquestionably, the predominant Babesia sp. across Canada. We provide the first report of B. odocoilei in an I. angustus tick. In addition, we unfurl the first report of B. odocoilei in I. scapularis in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

From a professional healthcare standpoint, I. scapularis ticks are just as likely to be infected with Babesia odocoilei as Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. Since people spend considerable time in outdoor areas, clinicians must be familiar with current acumen in tick-borne zoonotic diseases.

Calling on all Lyme patients, caregivers, and clinicians across the globe!

Carl Tuttle

Hudson, NH, United States

Oct 26, 2024

The following timeline for the deliberate mishandling of Lyme disease was forwarded to Attorney Katrina Rouse of the United States Antitrust Division, head of a Task Force on Health Care Monopolies and Collusion. Please forward your respectful request for an investigation into the collusion to deny chronic Lyme disease which has stifled research for better antimicrobials in treating this antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug. Your email should describe how this denial has affected your ability to obtain treatment and affordable healthcare. What has been deceitfully established here in the US is being emulated across the globe.

Note to clinicians: Your experience on the front lines in treating chronic Lyme and witnessing the devastation first hand should be described in detail.

Let’s flood the inboxes of these two attorneys!

Marx, MD Medical Epidemiologist, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Dear Dr. Marx,

I listened to your presentation yesterday with great interest and I must congratulate you for your outstanding performance in suppressing all evidence of persistent infection; chronic Lyme disease.

We have studies proving persistent infection after antibiotic treatment for mice, dogs, ponies, monkeys, cows, iris biopsy, and ligamentous tissue but if you perform a simple Google search for the following statement, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that chronic Lyme exists” you will find the top search results are connected to “elements of academic medicine” involved in the denial of the late stage Lyme epidemic.

In 1991 the Lyme disease organism, Borrelia burgdorferi, was grown from the cerebrospinal fluid of Lyme patient Vicki Logan at the Centers for Disease Control in Fort Collins, Colorado despite prior treatment with intravenous antibiotics. The patient died when the insurer refused additional IV antibiotics. Here is a copy of Logan’s CDC positive culture report for your review.

(Vicky Logan’s Chronic Lyme Autopsy results Page #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

There are 700 peer-reviewed publications referencing persistent infection and in a 2018 study all patients were culture positive even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.

Thirty-four years ago Dr. Allen Steere identified chronic Lyme disease which should have set off a red flag prompting an immediate search for better antimicrobials but then did a 180° as he became principal investigator (PI) of the Phase 3 clinical trial for the first Lyme disease vaccine. So all the eggs were put into the vaccine basket while a campaign was orchestrated to discredit the sick and disabled patient population along with the courageous clinicians attempting to help these patients. Apparently, a chronic relapsing seronegative disease did not fit the business model of patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits.

Here is Dr. Steere’s 1990 publication summary for your review:

The New England Journal of Medicine

Published November 22, 1990

Chronic neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199011223232102

The chart below summarizes Lyme research funded by the NIH and only 2.5% has been allocated for treatment:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4fpjivy7stiztfs5ib6sz/NIH-Lyme-Research.png?rlkey=71yrfa6r7e6osq2he7qwsjj75&dl=0

For the record there are many infections requiring long-term antibiotics so why Klempner stopped his NIH funded antibiotic treatment trials for Lyme after 90 days makes absolutely no sense whatsoever:

From the following publication:

Benefit of intravenous antibiotic therapy in patients referred for treatment of neurologic Lyme disease
https://www.dovepress.com/benefit-of-intravenous-antibiotic-therapy-in-patients-referred-for-tre-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM

Infections requiring long-term antibiotics:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pserdbenw4n1vovv14z2a/Infections-requiring-long-term-antibiotics.jpg?rlkey=281zg7alxl4gqm2e2jipy9szj&dl=0

Lyme misdiagnosed/undiagnosed for months, years or decades is far more incapacitating than “acute” Lyme and 2-4 weeks of antibiotics does not scratch the surface of this well-established/immune suppressive infection. These are the patients who need help the most but have been excluded in research for decades. There are countless stories of patients seroconverting after the initial few doses of Doxycycline and now that a toxin has been identified that puts Lyme disease in an altogether different category of infection:

Toxins
Published: 21 May 2024

Borrelia burgdorferi 0755, a Novel Cytotoxin with Unknown Function in Lyme Disease
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/16/6/233

So it would appear that one way to get a medical association (AMA) to go along with the suppression of evidence is to throw them a boatload of money… five million taxpayer dollars to be exact for a so-called IDSA biased “Clinician Toolkit” (CDC grant number NU50CK000597)

This controlling of the narrative has caused unimaginable pain and suffering all across America as insurance companies refuse to pay for long-term treatment, personal bankruptcies from out-of-pocket expenses to treat chronic infection, suicides from despair all while Valneva Received FDA Fast Track Designation for its Lyme Disease Vaccine.

Chronic Lyme must be recognized and finally addressed with 100% attention to effective antimicrobials for all stages of disease.

Question:

Is collusion to control the narrative through suppression of the truth, facts and scientific references a criminal offense?
