Return To Topics List Monica 5/15/2012 10:56:01 AM Week 29, and month 7!!!! Woohoo! I'm getting there! Hi everyone. So, I mentioned last time that I traveled last week. So, I have to tell you...it was okay. Yes, I still purged, but, it's getting less and less. What was challenging was...EATING!!! Oh my lord, I was in the south for four days, and almost starved to death. I'm from a southern family. So funerals mean comfort food...like 24/7. Comfort means fried, white flower, and cooked within an inch of nutrition. I was so happy when I could eat a salad again. But, I did my best to avoid fried food, ate mostly veggies, lots of water with lemon... And, popped Candida Rid twice a day instead of once. Since I was traveling, I made sure I brought all my meds, including my Food Grade D.E., MSM Sulfur, Molecular Silver and MMS. There's no excuse to miss a day of your protcol...including grieving. I even brought my own soap... you know, the peppermint kind. So, yeah...it was okay. The south is kind of warm, so,I noticed that the purging was affected by this. Did I purge more?? Actually no...and, I thought that strange. I did wrap my head in a D.E. dusted towel like I always do to sleep, and honestly...all was well. Now, here's the annoying thing, I've found a dead fungal gnat in my hair on two separate occasions. Ewwww!!! But, the good news is...they are dead. But, hey, there's a fungal overload, I'm purging fungal hairs, and these gnats, think I have their dinner. It's not personal, it's just gross! Did I mention...Ewww?! But, yes...the purging is slowing down... I dare say, I feel like it may be finally coming to a close soon. But... still, I'll be sticking with the protocol for the entire 18 months. In the words of the late Nina Simone... 'I'm feeling good!' Did you know she was from North Carolina just like me?? ;-) Be well all of you... stick with it, no matter what. Mel promised me one day the purging would stop, and I'd finally be emptied of all these unwanted guest. And, I am starting to believe he 'might' be right. ;-)Lol! Okay, I know he's right... but, sometimes, you just don't have enough patience... So, you've gotta make more. :-) Many blessings, lots of light, and cheers (with a big gulp of MMS!) Monica Monica 5/12/2012 11:30:39 PM Week 28... Apologies all for the tardiness of this update. I was out of town due to a death in the family. And,I had to travel. Please know that I am fine in terms of dealing with the loss of my loved one. But...onto why I'm here. So, week 28 was all about purging. It was mostly quiet in the beginning, quiet meaning no volcanic like purging. There was just a lot of fungal hairs and longer, albeit more fragile fibers. I found a red one that measured at 4 inches... I still marvel at how the heck our skin can carry such things. I wonder how far this stuff travels to get to the surface of our skin. The marvelous mysteries of the body.... My full moon experience was strangely quiet for the most part. Very little activity. Which I think is a good sign, but, funnily enough after it was over, the purging of white specks was increased. White specks, as Mel informed me, means that black specks have died. Um... buh bye...and, don't come back! Still...still I purge fungal hairs. And, as I see bigger ones coming out, I wonder... how long have I been like this and not known. It boggles the mind to know that I've been ill for years and not known. And, its even more upsetting that so many are walking around feeling sick, feeling inflexible, feeling sluggish, feeling off, and no one is mentioning that their unhealthy eating habits are possibly contributing to a serious fungal overload in their bodies. And, they are mostly part of the problem, through lack of proper education in food nutrition, and all that's available to them. If you learn nothing else from your experience on the road to health, please learn this... Food Education is PARAMOUNT in maintaining health. It cannot be stressed enough. Know what you're putting into your mouth. A car runs better, when the gas is of premium quality... your body is no different. I'll discuss what it was like traveling with this condition next week... meaning Tuesday, week 29. Please, please please... STICK TO THE PROTOCOL... And, educate yourself on what food really means in a FDA run society... You'll be shocked to find what's allowed to be put into your food, and perhaps then you'll understand why so many are prime bodies, for invaders such as ours. Good immunity is hard to maintain when you cannot pronounce most of what's in your food. Mel... thanks so much for our call last week. ;-) Blessings, love and much light. Monica Monica 5/1/2012 11:55:35 AM Week 27 and just shy of 7 months! Hello winners!!! Yes, you are a winner with every supplement taken, and every ounce of silver and MMS! You are getting better when you eat clean, get rest, and maintain the mindset of a warrior. First, let me report... I am still purging... Yep. But, it's less stuff, and less frequent. I should also mention that occassionally, there's still joint aches, bloating, and fatigue. But, nothing, nothing, NOTHING like it was in the early stages. Things happen on occassion, to let me know I'm not there yet, but, they do not last as long. Yay!!! Thanks to Mel, John, Theresa S and all of you who were on the call on Sunday. It's so important that we build a community, that we are able to discuss our experiences, remedies and treatment of this dis-ease, that the world at large is in (willful) denial of. Remeber: YOU ARE NOT IN THIS FIGHT ALONE! While we are all connected by this experience, we are also connected in that we have bodies, that require investment of good nutrition, rest, and supplements that promote its well being. Do not take the vessel in which your soul resides, for granted. Love yourself by loving your body enough to take care of it. Your road to recovery will involve more just than the protocol, which Mel provided. It will require you research food, food preparation, start excercising a little bit, and take charge of your life. It will require you become conscience of your habits. This isn't for the lazy, the ones who want to phone-it in. This is for the brave, who know how precious life is, and who want to be here for it for as long as possible. Everyday that I get better, I know that one day...I'll be cured. Morgellons will no longer be part of my reality. But... the lessons, the supplements, the friendships I've gained will be. Keep going everyone... YOU ARE WORTH THE FIGHT. Many blessings and so much light. Monica P.S. The next full moon is on Saturday, May 5th... Get on that full moon protocol! ;-) Monica 4/24/2012 9:28:15 AM Week 27... Hello warriors... I come to you this week feeling pretty great. Yes...I am still purging, but, I'm also still winning. I think what I want to point out most this week, is how the purging seems to increase with rain. I don't know if pores are more opened, or what, but,it's been rainy here in nyc, and the purging increased for a few days. I made sure that I burned eucalpytus, and had my menthol crystals going alternately over the weekend. It was quite helpful. Hey, if this stuff is going to come out, while I'm at home and not work, I'd prefer to get out as much as possible. I should mention that I had some...and, yes this is slightly gross... I had some small cases of diarrhea over the weekend, but, nothing out of control. And, with all this purging I'm constantly using the lint roller. Having fibers sitting in your hair is not only annoying, it's itchy! So, get it out... Yes, I use the sticky lint roller thing on my scalp...it works! I'm still purging from my body too, but, it's lots of fungal hairs, a few specks here and there. Theresa S. mentioned nerve endings... for sure, they are constantly being fired and annoyed with the purging. Sometimes its not annoying, other times, you're pissed off cursing in languages you didn't even know you knew. But, it's is barable. So, stick with it. I'm so glad that I no longer suffer like I did in the beginnings of this complicated disorder. I have Mel, John and most of all... ME to thank. Yes, I thank myself everytime I think on what life was like before the protocol. I thank myself for sticking with it. I thank myself, and my health and sense of myself returns. This is a full-court press, this is an all hands on deck situation. Mel blazed a trail, with John's tools for health, but, its you that must walk it. Many blessings all, and... I look forward to talking with you on the upcoming conference call. ;-) Monica 4/20/2012 3:00:17 PM Theresa, I use a pitcher for my 'rinse' as it were. And, I use about 1/4 cup of borax, and 2-3 capfuls of ACV and the water is probably 12-16 oz... I think that's what my pitcher is. I use water that's really hot so it stays warm for the duration of my shower. And, it is the very last thing I use before exiting the shower. I do not use a towel, but, a hair dryer to dry myself off. Hope that helps. And, so glad to hear about the progress of you and your baby. If I helped at all, that means the world to me. ;-) Teresa 4/19/2012 10:11:16 PM Hi Monica. Thank you for your posts - they have been informative and inspiring for me. As someone who is only new to the awareness of what is actually going on in my body, it has been a shocking, frightening, frustrating and alienating process on the whole. Finding this website, however, and reading of your weekly trials and gains, has been a very rewarding experience, and has given me hope. With God's blessing and the help of Mel and John, I am now on the protocol and having small victories of my own. I also have a toddler who is suffering from Morgellons. His turnaround on the protocol and collectgive wisdom has been amazing. For me, however, I am struggling, but do not give up hope. It has been good to note that your healing process has been long and has its ups and downs. I am also introducing some of your suggestions, like the ACV/borax rinse, as I too don't have a bath. I would like to ask what ratio you use for that, though. Once again thanks and I will keep readking. God bless you Teresa Susanne 4/18/2012 4:44:45 AM Thank you, I am still here and still learning. I agree we cannot have this 'mindless eating', so it is important 'who' we are around. I am around roomates and co-workers and I cannot let their food influence me. They consider me fanatical that I dont accept bagels and spreads, or sugars, or pizzas. . When they pull me over to their side, I get sick again. My body breaks out instantly when I eat macaroni and cheese or peanuts, or pastries. This is a sign Monica. . If it goes as far as I cannot be around these people, then I will have to do that. Consistency is key, and disciplining. . At times I have to keep myself in solitude to do this because people do not understand. . But when not following protocol and diet, my body goes from night to day. Nice meeting you Monica. And hello to Mel again. monica 4/17/2012 11:25:22 AM Here we are at week 26... And, well, let me start with... for the first time in months I had one of those mysterious scratches that happens with this condition. It was a pretty long one on my hip. I gave it extra attention as I was treating my skin with the tea tree oil vaseline that I sometimes use. Plus, taking the manifizyme--it cleared up immediately. What that means is that there's still stuff in there needing to get out. So,the protocol must continue! And, it does. The purging as of late has gone back and forth from mild to significant. From feeling like it's dragging along to an all our pouring. This tells me that little communities of biofilm are being destroyed and purged. None of this happens at the same time (Thank goodness), nor, overnight (again...thank goodness). The shock and pain of it would be too much. You don't spend years of accumulating fungal overload, overtaxed immunity and then purge it all out overnight. The body simply couldn't handle the toxicity levels...so, think on this as you're slowly or not so slowly getting better. Another thing to be aware of as you're getting better and as its getting warmer... pest! I mean of the gnat, mosquito, and other biting bug variety. Why??? Because of your fungal overload, they may be attracted to you. So, take care. This morning I found a dead gnat in my hair. Could that have been random?? Sure...but, the point is... I know that I'm purging dead fungal hairs and other crap out. So, I'm going to be adding lavendar back into my skin regimine to repel biting bugs. We don't need anymore stinking parasites! Other than the stinging of purging...I'm doing well... But, I gotta tell you... I'm so ready for my body to be empty of this stuff. What you have to remember is the body as a whole will purge from wherever it can. I've had tiny fungal hairs come from my nose, and eyes. Mirco fibers have come from my face, nose, and other places. Wherever it can purge from... let it do so. The good news is... my energy levels are back where they should be. My skin looks amazing... my hair texture and color are coming back quite nicely, and... the weight loss continues. Oh...food! Right... I've been able to add strawberries, pineapples and coconut...yes, not just using it as a oil anymore, actually eating it! :-) The other night I had a Caprese salad... Now, yes, there is fresh mozzarella in that, but, I am also armed with candida rid. And, if you didn't know, the dressing for that is balsamic vinegar and olive oil. So, let's see... fresh tomato, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella with balsamic vinegar and olive oil... I suggest trying this for those who are looking for something new to eat. If your body isn't ready for cheese take out the mozzarella, but, other than that--this is a healthy way to eat raw food. And, in case you've forgotten... olive oil is anti-fungal, basil is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral. ;-) I'm looking out for your tummy and your body, people. And, making sure you don't starve! LOL... That's all from the frontlines for today... In the meantime, stay on your meds, drink your meds and stay positive... you are winning! Monica Monica 4/10/2012 2:23:00 PM Week 25...and, the 6 month mark... Hello everyone. I hope you're finding yourselves feeling better with the protocol and dietary changes you've made. I'm once again, here to let you know what's going on with me and my journey to recovery. In a word: PURGING. Yes, still purging away. I successfully, was able to thwart the lunar activity last week. Mel's advice regarding how to deal with the full moon activity worked really well. I'll being using it from now on. What I've noticed this week is that I'm purging a lot of black specks from my scalp, along with a lot of fibers, longer and micro alike. And, yes, still fungal hairs. Though, not as much as in the bdoy, and certainly not as much as in the beginning. I'm certain that the magnifizyme is a huge factor as to why I'm seeing so much purging of the black specks, as I hadn't for a while. Be gone, biofilm! I'm hoping that I'm nearing the last layer of this stuff in my body. While I'm happy to be purging, I'm also happy to experience life beyond purging. I'm also happy to say that I've been able to incorporate some fruit back into my diet, as well as the occassional piece of multi-grain bread. I don't really like bread anyway, so...it wasn't a great loss when I couldn't eat it. Oh, and I had a piece of cheese... and, nobody (meaning my body) didn't freak out. But, again...I'm not that crazy about the fatty taste of cheese either. I have noticed, that my body is just looking for protein. So, yogurt, quinoa, meat, fish (not tuna), and eggs. It's so important to listen to your body throughout this entire process, only then will you know how best to support it. The days of mindless eating have to be behind you in this life-style change that healthiness requires when dealing with morgellons. You can't just shove food down your throat and hope for the best. You have to think, and feel into your body and know how best to allievate hunger, kill off the ickies, and promote healing. Sounds complicated, but, once you educate yourself, it becomes much easier. I should also mention, I'm still, and always have been treating my skin with the peppermint soap, teatree, coconut oil/olive oil stuff... You must treat the body both in and out. Attack from both sides as it were. Don't let up...don't give up...and, stay on the protocol. Consistency is key. Much light and Love... See you next week. Monica 4/3/2012 12:29:23 PM Week 24...and one week away from my 6 month anniversary of being on the protocol. So...let's see... acitivity was high over the weekend, because we had damp, San Francisco like weather in NYC. So, that was utterly annoying. But, it was a reminder that even if your going without major symptoms for a few days, doesn't mean the fight is over! So, stay on the protocol...don't let a few quiet days lull you into paying for it for months to come. I should mention last week, I had a few days where I woke up with stomach cramps, and some joint pain...healing crises??? Don't mind if I do. They went away after a few days, but...yep...still purging. Yesterday, I noticed yet another up-tick in activity in my scalp... What could that be? Oh, wait... the full moon in a few days! Of course...so, I started splitting my MMS intake, as really...the moving and grooving of morgies in my scalp really makes me utterly annoyed...so... bottoms up. ;-) At this point, as I was saying to Theresa S...even if the purging has slowed down greatly, it's been going on for so long, that anything annoys you... How do I deal with it? Well, right after the cursing... :-D I take a deep breath, okay...a few... and, I... stay on the protocol! You didn't think there would be a different answer, did you? Hahahaha! The specks are few and far between...the microfibers are still coming out. And, yes, the fungal hairs are still dive-bombing off my scalp. In short: I'm getting even better! Heehee... I noticed after I did my first half of MMS last night... I got a headache almost immediately... ooppsss... killed something. :-) Oh, one more thing... along with the stomach cramps and joint pain from last week. I did have a new experience, with the lymph node on the right side of my neck swelling. It stayed swollen for three days... I finally figured out what would help it... Claritin D. My allergies apparently had kicked in, and I was apparently draining onto my lymph node. But...I'm all better now. So, my fellow destroyers of morgellons... The healing continues... Stay with it until you've gotten all of yourself back. In the meantime, have a great week, and keep taking those myraid of pills, drink that MMS and silver... burn that eucalpytus, and rub-a-dub in that coconut oil. This too shall pass! Muah! Jul 3/27/2012 8:58:02 PM Thank you Monica, that is far less drastic than what I've read elsewhere. It's the fumigation-type cleaning that overwhelms me, and since you're getting better without I feel much better about that. xo Julie Monica 3/27/2012 11:40:09 AM Week 23... Hi everyone... Today, I'm feeling tired, and blah in general. Of course you know what that means, don't you? Something is dying off...so, while I feel a general malaise... on the inside, I'm dancing. ;-) So, yes...while last week was all about the purging. The last couple of days have been about feeling 'off', or 'weird', or tired and sleepy. As has been stated many times, this condition seems to work in layers. That's why it's important to commit to the entire 18 months. As, you do have days when you think you're done, only to find out days later you were done with that layer. So, seriously...commit, discipline yourself and stay on the protocol. Along with the lethargy/malaise...I've notice achiness in different joints over the last few days. Again...this is part of the healing. I'm convinced that as you get better, your body will let you know by being uncomfortable for a day or so. This stuff let's you know when it's there, and let's you know when it's leaving. And, that's good, because sometimes the progress can be so subtle, you're not sure what the heck is going on. And, other times, it can be so horrendous, you're convinced you're not getting better, but, you actually are. So...that's why you've really got to monitor yourself. Monitor your purge cycles, your discomfort, your pain. Is it getting better? Is it getting worse before it gets better? That's what the thread post has been for me-- A way to monitor myself and my progress. And, I'm glad you all have benefited from it. I look forward to the time where I'm no longer purging from my skin, and I do not have to carry a lint roller while wearing black. But, all in all...I'm getting all of back one day at a time. And, the new version will be so much better than the new. Thanks again for all your kind thoughts, words and support. If you're still here, still reading the post, still working the protocl,then you are winning and you are getting better! ;-) Much love and light. Monica Monica 3/26/2012 12:32:25 PM Thank You John... You totally ROCK as well! As I told Mel, I thanked the universe for both of you just last night. Your very existence is changing the lives of many--One person can and does make a difference. I'm living proof of that. ;-) Many blessings to you as well. Monica johnb 3/26/2012 10:55:54 AM Monica YOU ROCK!!!! Have a great week. Blessings, John Monica 3/26/2012 10:46:05 AM Hi Julie... First, I have to tell you...I've had no experience with MSM Sulfur making me tired. I take it in the morning with my food grade D.E. in either coffee or a plain kefir shake with honey. Of course this is after my molecular silver and usually before my first supplements of the day. I think before you accept someone else's expereience with MSM sulfur, you should try it yourself. As, I've experienced a boost in energy from it. Albeit, I use the powder version, thus, I absorb it more quickly. That being said, remember feelings of 'tiredness' in morgellons, are symptoms of healing... so, try it first. I prefer it in the morning because the removal of inflamation means less discomfort when purging throughout the day. As per my environment. I have a hepa filter that I run all the time on a low setting. I do use a light dusting of D.E. in the cracks and crevices of my apartment. And, I'm an avid user of essential oils. I specifically burn eucalyptus as it kills mold. I use peppermint, which is antifungal. And, yes...I use menthol crystals. With the crystals, you have to be very careful. I know there was a post here, that Mel removed, but, I really did my homework and found a way that worked for me. For example, I have a small amount in my dirty clothes hamper to kill anything that may hide in my clothes, until I can do the laundry. I mix a small amount with water and heat it on low heat on the stove--like its used in a spa. Again...very little, probably like a pinch or something... And, yes...I clean, vaccuum. I like to use TKO enzyme cleaner. And, I don't know if anyone knows this, but, the MMS can be used to clean the air as well. If you mix a small amount on a saucer--like 4-6 drops of the citrus acid and sodium chlorite and leave it on a saucer exposed in a room for a couple of hours--it kills stuff in the air. That was a lot, huh? lol... You don't have to do all these things at the same time, but, since you have a roommate, perhaps the essential oils would work for you. As, not everyone appreciates the smell of MMS like those of us using it to get well. ;-) I hope I've answered your questions. Let me know if you have any others. Much love and light. Monica Jul 3/25/2012 3:39:56 PM Hi Monica, Thank you for spending the time to put this together - it's a nice cohesive journal of your experience and it's been extremely helpful to me, having just shown up here. I wanted to know it there is any issue with taking the MSM too close to the MMS? I read that MSM can also make you tired, so I would think both would be good at night, but of course I certainly wouldn't want to do that if one would negate the other in any way... I also am curious what else you've done in the environment that you feel has helped aside from the DE in the sheets. I live with a roommate (that I'm trying hard to not-terrorize with this too much) in an apartment and need to be really careful with money too, so I'm feeling stress about the extreme home cleansing. Thank you kindly, xo Julie Monica 3/20/2012 1:05:21 PM Week 22? Already?! Yep...here we are. It's funny how while you're in the midst of purging how things seem to be taking forever, but, then you do the math and realize that time is really flying by. Okay, so...if you tuned into last week's episdoe--this is reality tv, right?! Hahaha... Anyway, last week, I did a 3 day detox from MMS. And, holy purging, Batman!!! I thougt prior to that, I purged all the time, but...ooohhhh no... I really purged for those three days. Mostly from my scalp. If I thought it would've helped, I would've walked around wearing swim goggles to keep things out of my eyes. The only problem with that is, sometimes, things were coming from my eyes! Hahaha! Yes, your sense of humor will be a mandatory tool in this journey, so, you might as well practice laughing now. Surprisingly enough, I was able to sleep deeply without the help of the MMS, but...I was so happy when I could go back on it. There is nothing like that feeling of it working in the system... where everything goes quiet in the body, dying off, right before...the popcorn machine of flying white specks happen. It's a weird lullaby to fall asleep to, but, I'll take it! I'm still purging fungal hairs, but, not as much, but, at the same time...these are big, up to 3 inches. Mostly, its the white hairs... haven't seen a black speck in a while...um... YAY! But, but, but... still seeing micro fibers...and, I know when I'm purging them, as they feel like they are slightly cutting me, as opposed to pricking me, which is what the fungal hairs feel like. If it weren't for my sticky lint roller, I wouldn't know about the fibers. They are that tiny. Again...a lot of your discomfort can be addressed with petroleum jelly that has tea tree essential oil in it. And,don't forget your friends chamomile tea, and MSM Sulfur! Another of our members here, mentioned to me the idea of using glycerin when the weather gets warmer. I think I'll give it a try as well. If you notice, all I ever seem to talk about is purging. Well, that's because that's all there is to talk about. How nice is that? This is what I think about when I've had it up to here with the constant purging. I think, 'I'm purging, not being bitten, not being kept awake by this unknown issue. --Not itching, not doing anything but, healing.' Yes...purging is healing, don't forget that part. Soon, there will come a time where I'm not even purging from my skin. And,yet, I'll still be on the protocol making sure, that yes... I am cured of this. And, then...everything else will become maintenance. I'm sooo looking forward to that. And, so should you. Keep going! Many blessings, and much light. Monica mel 3/13/2012 2:42:05 PM Hi Monica, Welcome everyone. As you and I discussed last week, we have observed over time that the point of diminishing returns on the use of MMS appears to be changing. We believe that the new products that have been added to the original protocol have so improved the body's detox pathways, people may not have to endure the same monstrous level of herxheimer (detox) reaction that others suffered prior to these products being introduced. Take your case for example. You worked your way up to 20 drops of MMS without ever experiencing a serious herx reaction. I would never have attempted to take such a dose... nor would my body have tolerated it. We recently talked about the point of diminishing returns, where taking more doesn't necessarily produce greater results, but may in fact do more harm than good. You made the welcome decision to back off on your MMS dose to a maintenance level... something most people have had to go through misery to achieve. I feel so blessed that you have chosen to record weekly your journey and thereby bring Hope and encouragement to others. In watching you live out your testimony, they are seeing firsthand how this works. Hope, then Health, then Happiness... Mel Monica 3/13/2012 11:21:27 AM Hellllooooo week 21! Hi everyone! ;-) Before I begin, I want to say thank you to all of you for reading my weekly reports, and being cheerleaders for me. I think supporting one another through this morgellons dis-ease episode (It's an episode, it isn't your life--make that distinction for yourself) in one another's lives is crucial. It's important to know you aren't alone in this, that someone can relate to you, and offer advice, an ear or a laugh as you work your way toward restored health. So, thank you! :-) Okay, so...purge, purge, and purge...still! The full moons, and rainy days are particularly annoying in the purging and recovery process. While I'm way past the feeling of being bitten, the stinging and purging of 'hairs' seems to be worse in moist weather, and full moons. I know that was mentioned by others on the forum some time ago. Oh, before I forget... last week, while removing a 'hair' from my leg... I was in the midst of pulling it out, and well...it kept going, and going, and going. It was...and, I'm not kidding because I measured it... an 11 1/4 inch fungal hair in my right calf! Okay, that's like the length of my entire calf! How long had it been in there? I have no clue, but, guess what?? It's NOT THERE ANYMORE! Hello, 'better out than in!'...takes on an entire new meaning now. Anyway...believe it or not...I'm still detoxing too. I've gotten the temporary rashes as of late, sneezing, sinus drainage, occassional sore throat. And, occasional red blotches, and little hot flash type reactions as well. I'm telling you, this really does require a lot of patience and persistence, because this detox is so much more than morgellons. It's about detoxing your entire systems. So, I hope everyone gets that. It's about the optimization of your immunity system, and the body's ability to function in the way it was meant to. I, personally have decided not to focus on the morgellons per se, but, on helping my body do it's job of protecting itself and me through the protocol. After a discussion with Mel last week... we've come to the conclusion, that because of the new products, and things I've added to my protocol, i.e. the essential oils, olive leaf extract, candida rid, and food grade D.E. --there may not be a big herx in my future. And, yeah...I um...am okay with that! Ha ha ha! So...I'll begin my 3 day detox from MMS today. Afterwhich, I'll start my maintenance of 17 drops of MMS. As spring quickly approaches, I've already started dusting my apartment with foodgrade DE... While I don't anticipate as much bug activity as last year, because the issues of last year have been addressed--I'm also thinking if I do it now, nothing will live long enough to be a problem to deal with. ;-) So...again, thanks everyone for your encouragement. And, special thanks to Mel, John and Theresa S, for...well...just being you. Have a great week everyone! Love and much light, Monica andy 3/10/2012 10:14:23 PM Keep up the good work Monica. I am about a week ahead of you-morgellons-ibs and terrible dental infections. Mel- thingks I may take longer-I think shorter. My therory is that I found my cause( dental infection). We will see. One thing for sure is thatthings are getting better-I only take ten drops a night. I started magnifisyme and things really seemed even better. I bet we both have good summers -) Monica 3/6/2012 10:53:28 AM Hello everyone... Week 20. I'm happy to report, I'm still purging. And, the amount of what has been coming out, ebbs and flows. So, I'm thinking its layers of stuff. What's coming out is mostly fungal hairs. I had no idea I was so furry on the inside, but, I'm glad that as I purge, I'm breathing much easier, and feeling a lot less foggy. While I'm still experiencing discomfort during the purge, I realize its only with the specks (both white and black), and the glitter that I feel the cutting/stinging thing. Therefore, keep your skin moist, so you can minimize this sensation. And,if you're using either MSM sulfur, or the Magnifinzyme you can lowering the inflamation of the skin, thus minimizing discomfort. Believe it or not, I also start 20 drops of MMS today. Which requires, in my opinon, a lot more water to avoid the sometimes unpleasant taste. But, it doesn't need to taste good to work, and it does work. I've been maintaining my diet pretty well, and moving merrily along. I never mentioned this, but, I have steadily lost weight on the protocol. Which is awesome. Since, I've yet to have a big herx, I have told Mel that I know things are dying off when I feel lethargic, or, sleepy, get headaches, or slight nausea. At the this point, I have to listen to the 'quiet' die-offs a lot more, as the big herx has still not shown itself. So, keep that in mind, all die-off is good die-off. Mel says that all my symptoms should be gone within the next couple of months--awesome, because I want to enjoy the summer. Imagine that?? Enjoying the summer morgellon symptom free?! Oh...YYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!! But, but, but... I'll still be on the protocol. Don't forget, this is an 18 month committment, for a lifetime of health. So...I'll be with you guys a bit longer yapping away. Hahahaha. In anycase, I hope everyone is doing well. I hope you're eating well, treating your skin, your home and getting the rest and excercise your body needs for recovery. Many blessings and bright light to all of you! Monica Monica 2/28/2012 3:25:53 PM Okay...week 19... Just want to say this past week has been rather rough. The purging, headaches, and bouts of diarrhea along with hormonal stuff... It's been quite the adventure. Mel, got your VM... Just so you know... all my vitamin C has been coming from lemons,ruby red grapefruits and oranges... none of which I eat within 3 hours of taking MMS... No vitamin C supplements whatsoever, so,I do not believe that's hindering my big herx. It may be the daily use of food grade DE sweeping 'stuff' out of my system. I mean, if you're doing a daily sweep, can you have the same loss of control on 'nature's call' that you and I discussed?? Yesterday, was particulary rough... I felt very green around the gills for most of the day. But, by the evening after a ton more water and rest...I felt...well...human. I have noticed that the purging has subsided quite a bit, even if some of the fungal hairs are frightenly larger... My sinus cavity had a major detox that lead to post nasal drip, that led to a soar throat from Friday into Saturday. But...it went away. There's been lots of white specks coming from my scalp for the past couple of days... But, my utmost favorite (insert sarcasm here) has been the dead black specks coming out of my lips. Oh,the many uses of lipgloss... :-D Anyway...I'd have to say that everything is going along quite 'well' in that I'm feeling better. Even if that means cleaning more fungal hairs, and other stuff seemingly more. The green around the gills thing really sucked yesterday, but... today... back to feeling pretty good. Hope everyone has a great day. And, continue working that protocol...restored health is within our reach. Be blessed, Monica Monica 2/21/2012 11:29:38 AM :waving: Hi everyone! First, thank you so much for the love via words. It's much appreciated. As I was telling both Mel and Theresa S. I had no idea you all were paying so much attention to my posts. I'm glad to know it's helping. So...where are we? I'm at week 18 starting today. So, what's up? Or, should I say, 'What's popping?' White specks, and fungal hairs like...WOAH! All the time, some times more than others, like at night after MMS. The white specks come out of my scalp like a popcorn machine. I mean, it's just nuts, it's like my pores are inhaling oxygen and spitting out hairs and specks... I've been wrapping my head in a towel lightly dusted in Food Grade D.E. for months to catch this stuff. As, having stuff fall on my face, can interrupt my sleep. And, we all know how important sleep is. As I write this, I have a very slight, dull headache. And... this morning there was slight cramping in my tummy before going for my morning visit to the potty. And, I'm dragging a little this morning... I know all of this is die-off symptoms. There's been occassional sneezing, and my sinuses having been draining a lot. What I've noticed about what I purge nowadays is...it's mostly fungal hairs, and most of them are small, although a few here and there are big. And, very rarely, I'll see a fiber, but, they are very weak and thin, and barely noticeable... I really have to look hard to see them. Intuitively, I feel like i'm really close to stabilization... Mel is counting the moments until I call him with a earful of how horrible my big herx was... Yeah, Mel, me too. I'm like...'where is it?! where the heck is it?!' But, I'm hoping starting 18 drops of MMS will do the trick. And, I can start maintenance...after the three days of detox--yes, Mel, I listen to you. ;-) Like Theresa S. said... for me, this is about overall health. And, therefore, I've treated it as such. I think people don't understand that getting this condition probably means, something in your body was going unaddressed for a long time. Meaning, were you eating correctly, exercising enough, taking good care of yourself in general?? I had Candida pretty badly a few years ago, I thought I had it taken care of, but, little did I understand the years worth of toxins that needed to be addressed. And, the truth is, once we get our health restored we CANNOT ever go back to who we were before this, in terms of ignoring our health, immune system, or taking good care of ourselves. In me, John has a life-long customer. I'll be on the wellness protocol forever. Because one cannot underestimate the need to keep your bioterrain optimal. This is a daily commitment I'm willing to make to myself out of love for myself and life in general. And, the people in my life will benefit from this commitment, in that I'll be here to spend time with them. I cannot say how wondeful, the Melman is... I love our conversations so much. Theresa S. I'm sooo happy to have met you, and I'm so amazed at your 'throw the kitchen at it' attitude. We'll definitely be getting some tea soon. Everyone...this doesn't have to be a scary experience, is it life-changing??? YES. But, you can CHOOSE to make it a positive life change, and to be a better you on all levels afterward. There's information here, there's a protocol that works here. There's tips on what to eat, what to avoid, what kind of essential oils, and natural foods to use in order to move things out quicker. But, mostly...there's a lot of love, and support, because we all want to see eachother get better, and yes... cured! So, this isn't about being scared, it's about being smart, empowering yourself to become better. Okay...I need to go find some citrus, this headache is getting worse, which really means... I'm getting better. :-D See ya next week. Monica Andy 2/20/2012 9:06:56 PM Monica-Thanks for your post. We will be healed soon-keep on plugging away-nothing will stop us! andy PS this does take awile but works! Theresa S. 2/17/2012 6:40:18 PM Dear Monica, Mel and Fellow Journeyers, I have had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Monica. What a breathe of fresh air! She thinks, feels, believes and walks in in total and complete healing - nothing else is an option! Monica you have inspired me with your bravery, focus and determination and I thank you so very much. Girlfriend, hand in hand we will be living testimonies to God's healing and greatness. With the excellent protocol that John B. has developed for us and the healing tools that the earth supplies us - everyone is more than capable of throwing not only the kitchen sink at this, but literally the whole freaking kitchen at this or any other dis-ease that comes our way. You have reminded me that the earth provides us with many of the tools we need - like essential oils, herbs, foods and spices that have been around for zillions of years and are readily available to us. You have reminded me that fear is not an option. Thank you for confirming for me that I must not focus on the dis-ease but my health - which not only includes my body, but my emotions, thoughts and actions. I look forward to speaking with you on a regular and sitting down together over a cup of green tea ;) I continue to focus on and claim optimal health and well being not only for myself but for all others. I send you lots and lots of healing energy, love, peace and abundance. You go girl! Theresa S. Monica 2/14/2012 10:36:54 AM Happy Valentine's Day, and welcome to week 17. This past week was a bit trying, because the purging is becoming significant. It's constant, and that in itself can be annoying. A lot of these hairs and fibers are so friggin big that they cause a stinging and cutting feeling as they exit. And, when it's a lot of them doing it at once, it can be a real bummer. Whenever it gets me down I remember Mel's wonderful motto: 'Better out than in!' And,when I see the size of some of these 'hairs', and the multitude of fuzzy wuzzies, I'm like...heck yeah, get outta here and don't come back, ever! I'll be starting 17 drops of MMS today... And, that's good, in that I've noticed that the more you do the protocol, the response of the body becomes quicker. It's like a sense memory thing, in that I take the silver, and my whole body is welcoming it in to kill stuff off. Or, I'll take some of those beautiful little logos pills and things start purging almost immediately, from EVERYWHERE! Again, purging from everywhere can be annoying at worst, but, the alternative is not purging at all--that's not even an option for me. I found out my 50/50 olive oil and coconut oil has a techincal name, it becomes Caprol oil... neat. Now, I use this combination on my skin for it's antifungal and microbial remedies, but, it also apparently can be used internally to kill candida and other ickies such as that. So, merrily we roll along everyone... I so look forward to reporting my stabilization to you in the near future. In the meantime... out with the fuzzies, hairs, specks, white wannabe hairs... And, cheers to more Molecular Silver and MMS. Continue to love yourself by sticking with the protocol...it works, and the proof is in the living. ;-) See ya next week. Monica 2/7/2012 9:58:49 AM Week 16... Hello everyone! :-) Okay, so no big herx yet, so, today also begins 16 drops of MMS. And, I'm fine with that...whatever it takes. So, what's going on??? A whole lot of purging!That's what. It baffles me the amount of fibers, 'feathers', white specks, 'hairs' and glitter that are popping out and off me. This past week it was quite noticeable for me,as it happens the majority of the day. Last night, while washing my hair, I noticed the fibers are less, but, more significant in size. And, the 'goo' that tangles your hair was coming out as I combed my hair through. This is major progress. And, I'm also happy to report that the white pseudo hairs are starting to disappear. Needless to say, I am not symptom free...yet! But, it's coming. Last week included some nausea, and die-off headaches were more frequent. It kinda dampens the mood, but, the vitamin C in the grapefruits and oranges I ate helped out a lot. I cannot stress enough the need for consistency and commitment in this protocol. Nor, can I stress the importance of diet, and topical treatment. Mel has wonderfuly provided us with a protocol for killing this stuff and boosting the immunity system. But, if we do not change our diet by lowering sugar, carbs, and processed food...we are feeding the dis-ease that we are supposed to be trying to kill. If we do not treat our skin, topically, it's hard to alleiviate the itching, or get the nasties to come out, and for those with leisions, getting them to heal. I've had 'scratches' in the past, that I've come to learn, may have been the beginning of lesions...I've always treated my skin...even before I knew about the protocol. There's so much helpful information here as to how to attack and win against this thing from all sides, that I cannot imagine not taking advantage of it. It would be one thing if we were discussing quality of life when discussing Morgellon's, but, honestly...we're talking about life itself. I'm so beyond grateful to Mel, and to every person who has left a tip on this site. MSM Sulfur has been amazing to and for me. Giving the reaction my body has been having, I needed this supplement regardless of Morgellon's. I won't lie, there's still some stinging going on as things die off and leave. But, nothing, nothing, NOTHING like it was before I started the protocol. Stick with it everyone, stick with getting your health back, stick with the idea that you are in control of your life, and it's quality. Many Blessings, Monica Monica 1/31/2012 9:32:25 AM Week 15... I don't know if I had the big herx over the weekend into yesterday. But...I spent the last three days with really bad headaches, more purging and the repeated feeling of a big knot in my stomach. Somehow... I don't think that was 'it'. I took yesterday off from work as concentration wasn't an option, ate citrus fruits, kept the MSM and food grade DE regimine and of course... the protocol did not wavier. I will say that I've noticed that even though the purging has gotten less and less; what is coming out feels like it's cutting me to leave--its stinging. I'm not sure what it is, and I have to say...I don't care, as long as its leaving. I guess stuff really doesn't like the virgin coconut oil I've been rubbing in my skin lately. Too bad. ;-) The lethargy from the constant detoxing can be annoying. But, the logos supplements help a lot, as does eating well, and sleeping! I hope everyone understands the importance of healing through sleeping. If you need extra vitamins, for me...vitamin D has become important, figure out what that is and go for it. But, of course, don't over do it. I was thinking last night about how long it takes for the health to restore. And, while 18 months seems like a lot. I cannot imagine purging years of pollutants, parasites, and pathogens in less time. I think it would send the body into a toxic shock, and you'd be so sick that it would be extremely harmful. So, more and more, it becomes clear that a steady long term treatment is best for you on all levels. Oh, did I mention, my scalp is doing sooo much better? But, as I mentioned before, whatever is purging now, does leave more of a cutting sensation than a stinging one. And, you know what??? Better out than in... All day...every day... I thank all of you who've encouraged me to continue sharing my weekly updates. I'm glad its helping you. It's helping me as well. I like to go back and read this thread to remind myself of how far I've come. And, I have come far already, so, it makes it easier to keep going. Thanks again, Mel for all your help and words of encouragement. You are truly an inspiration! Until next week... Andy 1/26/2012 10:24:46 PM Thanks for posting monica-at times I greatly need to read your words. I think I am about a week ahead of you. I am on Mels protocal and have seen some improvement-my ibs is better the last two weeks and the itching has slowed way down-although today it kicked up again. The one thing that I have had to deal with has been terrible dental infections-at this point I have had seven teeth pulled-my guess is that was my immune system issue. I am not sure if I am finished with that yet. Check your teeth! Please keep posting every week. Andy Monica 1/24/2012 12:04:35 PM Hello everyone... Today starts week 14...and, 14 drops of MMS. Mel says I'm going to be cursing his name soon, as I'm going to be having the big herx before the maintenance starts. Finger's crossed...I've never been so excited to be sick before. lol... Life is ironic, isn't it? But, I'm happy. So, what's new? Well...I'm doing great! I'm doing so much better, even my scalp seems to be close to completing it's purge. What I've learned is, there was a definite fungal overload in my body, and I'm grateful this is being addressed. These little hairs are becoming less and less, as are the fibers, although the fibers coming out now, seems to be bigger than what I'm used to seeing. Great... 'GET OUT!!!' So, for a few weeks, I had been feeling something moving around in my lower lip. Well last night 'it' came out. And, it was a clear, piece of plastic looking thing. Crazy! But, my lip felt happier with its departure. I will never get over how your skin can just puke out things that make you wonder how the heck they got there in the first place. So, I'm learning a lot about the amazing organ that is our skin. As I get better... no itching, less purging, and almost no stinging (from purging), I realize I could fool myself into believing I can stop the protocol... But, um...OH NO... I'm committed to all 18 months. I will not be repeating this experience due to false pride and lack of patience. Too much is at risk. So, Mel... get used to our little chats... I happen to love them. :-) To your health everyone... Stick with it...and, get a better version of your life back. ;-) Monica 1/18/2012 10:24:32 AM Hello everyone...week 13 started yesterday. As did my 13 drops of MMS. I have to say, I had a bit of a rough weekend. There was a persistent headache for three days, plus nausea... I dealt with it, by eating citrus fruit, drinking plenty of water and getting a lot of rest. Yep...I think it was some serious die-off happening. As I stated last week I added MSM sulfur to my protocol. It's helping a lot. I'm happy to say that save for the ocassional now-you-see it, now-you-don't rash, or pimple like red dot... Things are continuing to go well. My scalp is sooooo much better, even though yes...its still purging microscopic fibers, the hairs, and the wee black and white specks. I didn't mention it last week, but, I purged quite a bit of bio film...via...um...answering nature's call. I've never been so happy to see something like that in my life. 'Better out than in', is a visual relief, and encouragement in this journey. As far as my diet goes. I've never been a big meat eater, sugar or processed foods. And, knowing how my body works, I know that becoming vegan isn't the best approach for me. I've been borderline vegeterian for the majority of my life, and too many veggies, and fruits makes me acidic, and my tummy a very unhappy place to be. ;-) So...thanks everyone for your input, but, I'm good there...brussel sprouts and all. I love them by the way. One question I do have is about blood pressure. I need to know if anyone has experienced their blood pressure going up as a result of this disease? Mine spiked last year, when I first was being invaded by bugs, I went to the doctor and found a spike in my blood pressure. Since figuring out I had morgellons and being on the protocol, it's come down, but, not back to the levels prior to getting sick. Can anyone shed light on this? And, offer any advice? Once again...this protocol is working...So please stick with it, getting yourself back piece by piece is a lovely experience. Many blessings, and happy health. ;-) John B 1/11/2012 11:50:16 AM Congratulations Monica on your progress. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Your attitude is wonderful! I like Clod's advice on cleaning up your diet, but would mention two cautions: First, going to a more vegetarian diet (and eliminating all processed foods and refined carbs)is a great idea for cleansing the bioterrain and alkalyzing the body. However, most leading authorities on natural health agree that a strict vegan diet is not a good strategy for long term health. At some point it is a good idea to reintroduce small amounts of organic meats into your diet. Secondly, brussels sprouts are a great source of many nutrients including sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine, but they are also high in purines. Purines can promote a buildup of uric acid in the blood, so for those who are prone to gout, brussels sprouts are a no-no. Thanks again for your encouragement. Best wishes to all for a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Blessings, John mel 1/11/2012 10:46:17 AM Hello Everyone, Welcome again. A special thanks to Monica and to JS who have been faithful not only to follow the protocol, but to share their experiences for the benefit of others. Your explanations will help newcomers to understand what they will be experiencing if they decide to take this journey as well. Thank you to those returning who are further along in the journey for sharing your comments and suggestions, for you are always welcome here. Just remember everyone... better out than in. Whatever you do, never, never give up Hope! God Bless, Mel Monica 1/10/2012 10:43:06 AM Week 12... What does winning look like? It looks like constant purging,my friends. It looks like crazy looking stuff from sand, to plastic, to hairs flying off your head, and out of your body. Who knew the human body could hold so much 'stuff' that doesn't belong there?! Winning feels like a dull headache, and clogged sinuses that all of a sudden clear up. Or,sometimes winning is a slightly weird stomach ache, that clears up after answering the call of nature. Winning is covering your lint roller with tiny fibers, specks and hairs that are 'better out than in.' But, at the end of it all...it is winning. So, tonight begins 12 drops of MMS...looking for the big herx and then stabilization...Until then...I'm winnng with this protocol. ;-) Many blessings to you on this winning journey. Keep going, and do not give up on your health being fully restored. clod 1/9/2012 6:04:25 PM Monica one other thing you may want to try is Bragg's apple cider vinegar. pour sbout 2-3 oz in a pint glass then fill with water. it is hard to drink, but when you see the results you will start to enjoy the taste lol. Do that about three times a day. I would also suggest switching to vegan diet. If you do this diet make sure you just focus on eating veggies and lean protein. Bread and pasta (or any other carb for that matter) break down into sugar which we all know makes things worse. Id say the one food i saw the best results from is steamed brussels sprouts. stay positive! things will get better if you fight back Monica 1/6/2012 2:40:51 PM Just a quick note to let you all know that after reading about MSM sulfur here, I decided to buy the powdered version yesterday. I took a 1/4 teaspoon last night, and this morning in my water...and WOW huge difference! My skin is less itchy, but most of all...my sinuses have cleared up in such a noticeable way, that I'm breathing easier--literally. So, needless to say, that along with my new friend vitamin D, for the lack of sun here in winter--it's going to become part of my daily regiment. If this keeps up, all of my sinus issues may become a thing of the past. So...grateful for this site and all the souls who provide solutions to this condition... Many blessings to you all. ;-) JS 1/3/2012 7:48:20 PM Hi everyone Sorry been awhile for an update, as I mentioned before, I started the 2nd month of being back to work, something I didn't think I was going to be able to as sick as I was 3 months ago. First of all I was able to stay away from all the junk food that holidays bring. Maintaing my organic, no sugar low carb no processed food diet. I should say I m still on the protocol as well. Mel thanx 4 continue to check on me. I continue to have some good days and some bad days, but now I can say I have more good days than bad days. And sometimes feel even symptom free......the key to the recovery is to remain patient as this did not happend to us over night and will not just go away in one night. As I mentioned to Mel I was able to get one week supply of Bactrim DS and I did feel better on it after only one week but I have not been able to get any more since none of the Dr s that I m in touch with thinks it s needed, I also have to add to this that I did try the natural antibiotics with a good result but I felt most different with the Bactrim for me so I think Bactrim is what's missing from my protocol. I have cut down in my cleaning as this was not possible as I m back to work full time, and I should say I dont think it had made much difference. Anyhow I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays and for the ones just getting here I m into this since end of July beginning golf August and as sick as I was I was able to turn this around so there is hope. Main thing is to make a commitment yo your self that you will change your life style and have to believe that you will beat this thing no Mather what this is or how long it takes. God bless and thanx Mel for making all this available to us this forum and your support is also very important in my recovery. Monica 1/3/2012 11:34:18 AM Week 11...MMS drops 11, starting tonight. So, happy, and grateful to start this new year, with my health in the process of being restored. My scalp is still purging stuff, but, not as much stuff, and not as often. But, my body is purging much, much less. Now, if I wanted to be completely silly, and not listen to Mel's sage advice, this is probably where I would 'think', I don't have to keep popping those pills I'm so fond of. But, you know what??? I'm going to stick to it, because I'm not interested in prolonging my real recovery. Mel, I really appreciate your call the other day, and letting me know what's up ahead. I'll let you know when the big herx happens. Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to that. Happy New Year everyone, may this year, be the year, you restore your health. Follow the full protocol...eat well, and stay positive. You can beat this thing. ;-) Monica 1/3/2012 10:53:36 AM Andy, I put in one drop of silver into my eye when I took it in the morning following the protocol. So, that would be one drop everyday. Hope that helps you. mel 1/2/2012 6:14:54 PM Thanks Monica. You are right... Candida Rid does rock! andy 1/1/2012 5:44:50 PM Monica- how many drops did you use in you eyes and how often. And how long did it take to get results andy Monica 12/30/2011 1:23:24 PM Andy... I did some research on the floaters and molecular silver... you can actually put a drop of the silver in your eye. Yes, I've done it, and haven't had any floater issues since. In terms of dental issues... I found that the MMS water and Molecular silver seem to help with that as well. Although, I don't know the extent of what you're dealing with. I think people are in such a hurry to get the MMS down, they don't realize, it can actually help your mouth in many ways... My teeth and gums look so much better. Anyway...I hope this is helps. ;-) Oh...the tummy... I use fooddgrade DE that I blend with plain kefir and honey...so, I don't have any stomach issues... food grade DE kills the nasties in the tummy. But, overall, you must remain vigilant about your eating... And, once more with feeling... Candida Rid rocks. ;-) andy 12/29/2011 9:52:13 PM Monica-please keep up the weekly postings. I think I am on week 11 or 12. It gives me confront to know somebody else has the same fight. I itch less but clearly not gone yet. I see a ton of floaters in my eyes, stomach seems terrible and have had really bad dental issues but clearly have made real progress. Any cahnce you have the floaters-stomach or dental issues. Keep up the good fight Andy Monica 12/27/2011 7:29:43 PM Week 10 starts today... And,of course now, I'm feeling bratty... Why? Because a lot, and I mean a lot of the sypmtoms have subsided or disappeard. So, now, I have to create extra patience, for...you guessed it...my scalp. While i'm still very much detoxing, purging and so on and so forth... My scalp is still the worst area, even though its LOADS BETTER. What I've been dealing with is a good thing, and that's the pseudo hairs dive bombing out of my scalp seemingly... all the time. Even leaving, this stuff can be uncomfortable. I'm convinced it's because they are leaving from pretty deep in the skin and therefore my nerves are being bothered upon their exit. But...I'm getting better. :-) It was an excellent holiday... I'm pretty much repulsed by looking at most sugary foods... Less candida, less cravings. ;-) Today, I made a spicey plain yogurt sauce to replace mayo in my diet. I'm in love with citrus, leafy green food, and water... Sugar...yuck... bread...ew... and white rice, flour, bread...gross! What excites me these days is coming up with yummy food combinations that keep me akalined... Mel...I know you called me over the weekend. I'm sorry I missed your call. I'm available all week as i'm on a stay-vacay...so, check on me. ;-) Tonight is the begining of the 10 drops of MMS... You know you're in a place where patience is needed when you'd rather drink MMS water, than take one more orange/tan/white pill... but, you know what the focus is??? Restored health. So, thank goodness for those pills, Mel, John and my patience, that even when I want to run out of it...I make some more. Heehee... Monica 12/20/2011 11:47:26 AM Hi...its week 9.... Okay, so, the only thing I can report is constant purging... It may be in small amounts, or a lot...but, it's happening... And, when I say purging,I mean skin and scalp. I'd like to tell you that I find it annoying that I have to wash my hair everyday as there are constantly dead fungal hairs coming out of my scalp, but, the truth is...I cannot be annoyed, because I'm getting better. Along with the effectiveness of the protocol, I cannot stress enough, that you've got to adjust your eating habits. Its the holiday season, I know you want to eat all of your traditional foods,but, if you're going to get better, you have to prepare foods and eat things that promote wellness. I've avoided sugary things as much as possible... I run away when cheese calls to me. And, the blessing that is candida rid is nothing short of amazing--thanks John! ;-) Its unbelievable how much I've seen come out of my own body--years of fungal overload... And, my having not known until developing morgellons... We have to educate ourselves in terms of what we eat, how we prepare our food and what our body truly needs to keep our bioterrain healthy. Our health is our responsiblity...if that wasn't clear before, its absolutely crystal clear now. Okay...off to take some of those orange, tan, and white pills... To your health...stick with it...it works. ;-) Monica 12/13/2011 1:35:33 PM Hello All... Week 8 starts today. And... I'm feeling really good. I'm happy to say most of the stinging has gone. The creeping sensations are completely gone. And, my scalp spews out less and less everyday, for shorter periods of time. So, what am I saying?? Major Progess...that's what I'm saying! I dare say I feel as if I'll be stabelizing soon. Woohoo! Yesterday when soaking my head in mms...I noticed a lot more black specs coming out... To me that's a great sign, as before it was mostly fibers... Nowadays, its the 'hairs'...those things come out at the most random of places. I've seen the white fuzzy ones, the black stiff ones, and some that look like cat hairs as they are two colors at once. I should mention that I change my topical regimine up quite regularly. And, nowadays, I've been using a 50/50 combo of coconut oil and olive oil on my skin, after my bedtime shower. I then add to it, a couple of drops of tea tree oil (smelly), clove--not all skin can tolerate this, and neem oil (really smelly)...but, the pay off is great! Stuff comes out in minutes to be wiped off, or to die in my (food grade) DE dusted bed! I also use the mixture in my hair. Due to my heritage, my hair requires oil anyway, so, I never have to wash it out. In terms of eating, I use the food grade DE earth in the morning with kefir, a yogurt product that has a lot of natural probiotics--it helps 'move things through', if you know what I mean. I've come to really love granny smith apples,grapefruit,lemons, oranges and olives!!! Chamomile tea, peppermint tea... What I've decided to do is become creative with eating and drinking, so, I don't feel like I'm suffering as I'm getting better. So, I can't have sugar, but, I can have manuka honey, and black strap molases (some people don't like the bark-like taste...I do.) In any case, educate yourself on a anti-candida diet, and akaline foods...and, then remember how good of a friend olive oil is to you, when cooking. Oh, did I mention you can cook with virgin coconut oil too?! Okay...enough about food. I hope all of you are happily on the road to full recovery. This protocol is amazing...Mel is amazing...and, so are all of you! Many blessings...until next week... ;-) Monica 12/7/2011 9:48:34 AM @JS... Yes, I use the vicks on my scalp at night, and I also use a thin layer on my face. Trust me, you don't need much--keep the layer thin. Also, be prepared for your nose and tear ducts to react, speaking of that, DO NOT get it too close to your eyes. Since 'things' like hanging out in the sinus area, I think its good to treat the sinus area. I've gotten a lot of relief in terms of a tickle-free nose. Hope this helps. ;-) andy 12/7/2011 7:52:19 AM Monica-thanks for the weekly progress updates-I really apprecaite knowing that someone else is living this. I found something that really helps the scalp. Get some sulur shampoo ( I bought my stuff off amazon) then add several drops of clove oil and black walnut oil. Rub it into your scalp and let it sit there for about an hour. Every other day helps. Dont use to much clove oil or it will burn! Kills the critters-really helped me andy JS 12/6/2011 11:51:57 AM Hi Just wanted to give a quick update, i have been stable enough to go back to work after 3 months of Bering off I m at my 2nd week at work. Still on the same protocol even though still not symptom free, I feel I got part of my life back, so this is for everyone who is just coming down with this affliction, there is hope. One thing I have increased is fresh juices to detox my body to daily still not on any prescription antibiotics. @ Monica, how do you use the Vicks I bought some couple months back but haven't used it yet, do u leave it on all night ?! Can you put it on ur face, most of my problems seems to be on my face (no lesions) thanx and God bless, never give up hope. Monica 12/6/2011 9:58:11 AM Hi Everyone, Today begins week seven. I have to be honest, last week was purge week and therefore annoyingly horrible. As I've stated before, most of the activity seems to be concentrated in my scalp, so, there's a lot of itching there. And, critters jumping to their deaths from my scalp. --no...litterally. Yes, I'm happy with regards to the progess that I'm making. But, at one point, I really considered how nice it would be if it were possible to remove my head during the worst parts of the purging stage. While I actually purge something everyday, last week was noticiably intense. Looking forward to stablizing soon. What they say about the road to recovery being pursued layer by layer is true. It's unbelievable how many hitch-hikers there are in our bodies that are only now being discovered. I continue to be grateful for this site, and all of you. Without this information, I'm sure I'd be having a different experience. Many blessings to all of you during this holiday season. Monica 11/28/2011 8:47:05 PM So, week six starts tomorrow. And, other than a lot of 'stuff' coming out of my skin, and occassional sting...things are good. I should mention my new BFF has become vick's vapor rub. I've been rubbing it on my skin and even more things are coming out...dead! YAY! I can't speak for others but, I've found that a lot of the itching I've experienced is from microscopic fibers being kicked out of my skin. As well black and white specs. I definately notice when things are being released, as it can sometimes be painful, but, bareable. One day at a time...really... no, really. Many blessings to all of you and Mel...I start six drops of MMS tomorrow. ;-) JS 11/27/2011 2:14:18 PM Hi everyone Just wanted to leave an update that I thought I had already left since my last post. I was able to re stablize myself within one week after eating out and getting the itching crawling back. As I said before protocal is very important but I think diet is as equaly important. I do feel pretty good except some new issues with peeling of my eyelids and under my eyes. I am now up to 6 drops of MMS, however not on any Bactrim just on natural antibiotics. planning to go back to work this week if God allows after 3 months of being very sick. Hope everyone else is improving as well. Best wishes and God bless. monica 11/21/2011 1:51:40 PM Mel, Thanks for the call this weekend. It was really helpful. Even if you did mention a bagel with cream cheese. ;-) I adjusted my MMS per your advice... Things are still moving along quite well for the most part. I will be getting an eye dropper to start treating my cats as well. You're the best! Thanks, Monica mel 11/21/2011 1:36:17 PM Hello Michelle, Welcome again. The severity of symptoms will typically fade within sixty to ninety days on the protocol. I really can't say what the most important piece of the protocol is because they all work together. Remember... its the SUM of the parts, not some of the parts. In my opinion, there is a big difference in Molecula silver and most colloidal silver products. As far as I know, A to Z does ship to Australia (as does Logos Nutritionals). As I have said many times, please do not mix protocols. You will only create an imbalance. Four things will aid in your recovery: 1. Hope, which is a belief and a desire to get well. 2. Reading as much as possible because knowledge is power. 3. Diligence because the protocol is demanding. 4. Patience, because typically it takes 18 months to get better. God Bless, Never Give up Hope! Mel Michele 11/19/2011 8:49:43 AM Hi Mel, I am new here, have had this M thing since the end of April I have been using DE fossil flour and the baths and essentials oils and was taking the MMS for a couple of weeks and stopped taking it, The MMS baths cured all the lesions. but i still have black specks and white things that look like eggs and blue fuss balls coming out of my skin the stinging and the biting stopped when i started using the DE Fossil Flour and the MMS and I killed it out of my house bedroom and car using the DE lightly sprinkled every where. I am still sometimes getting feathering on face and body what is that ..? and itching and crawling on and off I can go for a week no symptoms and then it starts again itching and crawling, from what my understanding reading all the testimonials the 3 most important things here are the MMS, Silver, Bactrim, is this correct and balancing the immune system. The de gives me lots of energy and I sleep very well at night everyone says how well I look lots of minerals in the DE powder. What is the difference between the Molecula Silver and collidol silver ? I can only find collidol silver here in Australia, and a lot of your supplements I cannot buy in Australia, at the moment I am on the Bactrim, Selenium 150 max I take 1 in the morning and afternoon, 1 vitamin D Fossil flour heaped tablespoon morning and afternoon and Collidol silver in morning and 1 probiotica in the morning and afternoon and now I am back on the MMS started back on 3 drops at night and in the morning it upset my stomach so I will just take at night I was taking it on the hour up to 5 drops a month ago for a couple of weeks with much improvement. Thanks, Michele from Australia mel 11/19/2011 8:39:26 AM Hello Monica, Welcome again. Yes I will call you this weekend, not to reprimand but to clarify. Unfortunatley those in a hurry have a poor history of recovery. You must be patient! Talk with you later. God bless,Never give up HOPE! Mel Monica 11/18/2011 2:42:52 PM Mel, I hope you recieved my email the other day. So sorry to have missed your call. If at all possible can you call me this weekend? I'll be around. I'm interested in any advice you can give to help me recover. Even if it starts with a reprimand regarding MMS. ;-) Thank you, and I hope your own recovery is going well. Monica mel 11/18/2011 12:30:12 PM Hello James, Welcome as always. Been there done that; once was all I needed to stay diligent to the protocol. The wellness protocol, MMS and Molecula silver and a good antibiotic (whether prescription or natural) are first and foremost, but diet is equally important as we change the way we look at food and start to eat things that are healthier for the body. Cut out the carbs... especially refined sugar, pastas and bread, increase fiber intake and don't eat things that come from boxes. The more refined it is, the more foreign it is to the body. If you put in the word "Diet" into our search engine, you will get six pages of ideas and helpful info. Stay strong James. God bless, Never give up HOPE! Mel js 11/18/2011 12:17:48 PM Update-set back Just wanted to leave a quick update, I felt so good last week almost with no symptoms, that I went out this weekend, broke my diet and did too much, well I m paying for it now, the itching crawling came back, so don't stop anything prematurely, I never stopped my protocol so I stabilized quickly, I agree with Robin it takes a long time to get rid of this after all took years to get this sick. Even though supplaments are important including mms and silver but I believe diet is equally as important. johnb 11/18/2011 9:37:17 AM Hi Robin! Nice to Hear from you again. I agree with Judith's advice about 'mopping up' on a nightly basis. There are other benefits to increasing your daily fiber intake as well, such as normalizing cholesterol levels and lowering inflammation by stabilizing blood sugar and insulin levels. The importance of moving the bowels is often overlooked these days, but auto intoxication is a huge problem... particularly in the Morgellons community. For this reason, Logos is making available a new maintenance cleanse formula called Colon Pro Health that is safe and gentle enough to take as a daily regimen for as long as desired. With ingredients such as fiber to help maintain regularity, absorptive agents for toxins in the intestinal tract, intestinal scrubbers, probiotics and soothing agents for the intestinal lining, Colon Pro Health is perfect for 'mopping up' the GI tract on a nightly basis. I am glad to hear you are doing well Robin. Keep up the good work! Love, John mel 11/18/2011 9:22:08 AM Hello Robin, Welcome as always. It has been a long time that I have prayed that one day you would believe me! In all our conversations I would say the same things over and over again, not trying to offend the other people's protocols that you were experimenting with. I have always said and to this day believe that the protocol from our web site is the best available at this time and this CHRISTMAS will mark THREE YEARS THAT I AM SYMPTOM FREE! The balance of the protocol is important, and that is why I have begged people not to mix protocols. Mixing protocols has to upset the balance! Also, I remind everyone once you start to feel better don't skip your protocol, not even for a day. Many including myself have made this mistake, only to prolong recovery and and usually feel terrible. As the other people who have gotten well always say, 'ONCE I STARTED TO TAKE THE ENTIRE PROTOCOL EVERY DAY FAITHFULLY, THINGS BEGAN TO IMPROVE.' Most people stabilize within three to four months. Robin, I am so glad you are feeling better. I will be forever grateful for the support you have given this web site. Your generosity has paid for the protocol for a person who otherwise would not have been able to afford it. I will watch closely as you journey towards total recovery. Please remember balance, don't upset the balance. God bless you Robin, my friend. YOU NEVER GAVE UP HOPE! Mel Robin 11/15/2011 9:00:17 AM I have had this 2.5 years. I agree with James protocol. Also, ivermectin does not work. I pounded that down for a long time and, yes, the thing comes back with a vengence. The Logo products are great. Nothing, nothing ever comes out alive. I get the fiber balls, small black specs (which under microscopy are little fiber balls) and the crystals. Also I had sent a little larva looking thing, which I had gotten plenty, to a lab and the results were 'plant matter.' I had gotten bad, to a point that I'd feel a needle stick and be able to scratch a small white trilabite shaped thing from my skin. My invalidated theory is that these left in, cause the sores. I do not have sores, my mother has them. Anyway, the silver and MMS are a big part of cure and I am relizing that now. Mel spent years telling me and he is right. What is very, very important is to keep those bowels going. I had Staninger for a while and she advocated that. The same as Judith Knilans says (her book is on smashwords) You must do the nightly 'Mop up.' If you are killing with mms and silver, you must mop up at night with a major fiber product. Like, psyllium husk or some sort of parasite cleanse. I think drinking the DE does this or the bentonite clay. I'd do both. You have to keep taking your internals, sweating (FIR) and S#!ting this stuff out. Like peeling back the layers of an onion. Constantly. A couple of times I felt complacent to stop things prematurely and it came back with flying colors. I'm doing a little better now, (MMS, silver) There is less poppage and I mostly have crawling. Takes a long time. mel 11/11/2011 2:13:56 PM Hello Andrew, Welcome as always. Patience young man, In time it will be less and less annoying. One month does make you better, only 17 more to go. Be diligent, be focused, stick with it. More and more the outcome becomes obvious. Try putting cleaning home environment in the search engine and read read read,ten pages chocked full of good information! Hope This helps a little. God bless,Never give up HOPE! Mel andrew 11/11/2011 1:58:50 PM Mel- when I sit is my favorite chair or stand in my office and type on my computer I feel little bits on my lower legs. Is there a way to clean that up? Thanks Mel, Andrew Monica 11/7/2011 1:46:37 PM Kathy, I put lemon in my water, almost all of the time, and I've been taking cayenne supplements off and on for months. And, if there's a pepper to be eaten...I'm all over it! ;-) My new slight obsession has been indian food, for the spice and the heat..and, believe me,it gets hot. Andy, I can't speculate why critters might be moving from one place in your body to the other. I can say, that I've found that sometimes things are so deep in the skin tissue, that they tend to itch more as they are nearing the surface to leave. Whenever I feel like something is popping out of my skin, 9 times out of 10 when I go look, there's a dead 'something' there. I wanted to mention to everyone that I found a lemongrass tea tree bar of soap that I use in the shower. I spend time really rubbing it in while the hot water runs. And, oh my does that bring the icky crew out. I think the key is to leave the soap on for a while and continue to rub it into the skin, until its almost dried into it. Afterwhich, scrub with a loofah, rinse off... Then, I bath in Dr. Bonner's Peppermint soap. And, I always rinse off with a mixture of borax,apple cider vinegar and water. I cannot say enough about my nightly dose of MMS immediately before I go to sleep. And, for those who aren't using food grade DE... please think about dusting your sheets in this stuff... It helps you feel comfortable about going to sleep again. Because no matter what comes out, while you're sleeping...it's going to be killed in the DE. --No,I'm not breathing it in, I have a hepa air-purifier that filters the air. In case you were worried. ;-) Except for my head... I am watching most of bothersome symptoms slowly disappear. Hallelujah! And, even though the scalp is taking the longest...it is getting better. But, there's just so much to get rid of... I'm starting to wonder if that's where my problem started in the first place. As, I did have psorasis of the scalp--not so much anymore being on the protocol. I also should mention, I added the Candida Rid to my protocol... And, oh my...is that helpful. I feel most people walk around with a yeast overgrowth. And, I know that in the past, that was an issue for me. So, I added it to my protocol...and, it's helping out soooo much. Oh one more thing... As I have sinus issues, I have always used menthol, eucalyptus, and comfry as part of my essential oil regimine in the winter time... I use an tea light oil diffuser, and I cut the oils, or crystal by mixing it with water. Of course, after being here I've come to realize I was 'cleaning' my environment. I don't feel comfortable telling anyone else what works for them. But, it has for me. Tomorrow starts week four, and I just ordered more supplements. I won't lie...sometimes, I look at the pills and go...'Ugh...so tired of this.' But, in truth this protocol has restored energy for me, I've lost weight, I feel healthier, and just... good... So, I say 'Okay, orange, gold, white and tan pills... let's get this party started, because I've got to get back to who I am.' And, I stay on the protocol. Even the MMS doesn't smell as bad. ;-) Again...thanks so much to all of you for being here. And, I'm glad to know my post are helpful to you. Talk to you soon. ;-) Kathy 11/7/2011 8:08:59 AM Andy,James,and Monica.Try adding fresh lemon juice and cayenne pepper to water and drinking it in small amounts throughout the day.Stop drinking it at least 2 hours before MMS dose at bedtime.The lemon converts to alkaline PH after it enters the digestive tract and the cayenne removes the ecofilm.I use 1 whole lemon,1/2 teaspoon cayenne to 1 pint water.When i started I used 2 lemons,1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1 quart water.You will probably have to decrease pepper as I am use to it and do not mind the heat.This will help to facilitate the critters leaving your body.Also,until recently I used suave coconunt shampoo and conditioner along with MMS soakings to clear my scalp.I now soak with MMS weekly as I have been doing this for 14 months.I do not have any scalp leisons and have not had any problem with them for about 8 months.I also mixed organic coconut oil with my body lotion every day.I take 1 teaspoon coconut by mouth every morning.I am not on antibiotics at this time due to no one will order them for me.I plan to order John,s new natural one this week.Olive leaf extract.There are ways of removing bugs without Menthol.Go to pesticide isle and think about what really gets into the air and penetrates all areas of the room.I did use Menthol at first but it mad my husband ill even after the rooms were aired out.If anyone would like to email me you may get my email from Mel.I want all of you well again.God bless and keep us all..............................Kathy Andy 11/6/2011 9:14:37 PM Moica- I forgot to ask you a question. I have been on MMS maybe 4 weeks and the itching is less,almost everywhere. I do feel like there is more itching on my lower arms-hands and feet-did you get this? Could it be the little guys tryhing to get as far away from the mms as possible? Andy PS thanks for yoiur post please keep them up! Andy 11/5/2011 7:40:12 PM Monica- I really appreciate you writing every week. I think it give a clear picture of what happens. I am about a week ahead of you. Please continue the weekly updates Andy James 11/5/2011 7:02:32 PM HI Monica I am really glad to hear that you are making progress. I have also been symptomatic with this affliction for 3 months. When I came down with this I thought I was in pretty good shape, but under alot of stress. After many Dr.s with out any help and looking for answers on the web not knowing what was really happening to me, I found Mels website. by this time I had already started myself on many supplements I started with Antioxidents and gradually added other stuff to it while externaly at first was using sulfur washes and then Tea tree oil with positive results. I have to add that at the begining one of the Derms I went to gave me two doses of Ivermectin that stoped everything for about 24 hours then they came back with a vengence. The infectious disease Doc gave me Albenza for a week same thing 95% relief but then the symptoms came back. At this time my symptoms Morphed, now I began to see Candida over grotwth, which another infectious disease Doc put me on Diflecan and I began to have a severe Herx for about two weeks. I should add to the new comers to try to work with your Dr.s, they really dont know what this is and and dont really know what to do. They all knew there is somwthing wrong with me but wasnt sure what. Eventhough I knew what I had I tried to just go with it and let them do their testing and labs and doing this I was able to get them put me on 3 months disability so its pays to have them in our side and I learned quick not to say parasites or Morgellons... Anyhow back to Mels protocal, at this point on my supplements I felt I was slowly getting better but far from being cured lots of good days and bad days. Mean while I went and replaced 14 Mercury amalagams that I know was effecting my immune system. I should add that out of all the labs that I have done so far the only abnormal lab they found was my immune system. So I knew I had to work on my immune system. Mel was gracious enough to contact me and check on me periodically and keep me motivated and hopeful. At this point after a long talk with him and lots more research I ordered the MMS, I should say that I was taking Collodial Silver at first but with my order of MMS I also ordered Molocula Silver. Still wasnt convinced and wasnt sure if I was going to take them but wanted to have em in hand just in case. I finally decided to give MMS and switch my silver about 3 weeks ago. I started as Mel recomends with one drop of MMS each night and increased the dose by one drop each week. However I uped my MMS this week to 4 drops a night and thats when I started to see the stuff coming out. Lots of white and black specks different shapes and sizes as we all always say better out than in. The crawling have much subsided, more enegetic I truly feel I have turned the corner on this now, eventhough I know its still too early and far from being cured but I know I am on the right track. I am still continue to clean my environment daily vacuming and spraying down and whipping everything, laundry and change of sheets daily. I also been on Candida diet for couple of months now and lost 35 pounds so I think alot of my Herxing also had to do with my weight loss since most of the toxins store in your fat cells. How ever my car has been a big problem even after vacuming and spraying I still have lots of white lint flying around but going to use Menthol chrystals to see if it will improve. The things I am currenty taking are as follows Vitamin A, liquid B complex with biotin, Vit C powder, D3, E, selenium, milk thristle, CoQ10, Essential Omegas, chelated magnesium, zinc pic., NAC, Calcium, Colostrum, aged Garlic extract, liver detox herbs, worm wood, black walnut with clove and other antiparasitics in it, oil of oregano, grape fruit seed extract, two different kinds of probiotics, and since I am not on any prescription antibiotics I have replace that with MSM, olive oil extract and Golden Seal and Echenecia two weeks on and two weeks off, and ofcourse MMS and M Silver. Also keeping track of my PH and have 1/4 spoon Baking Soda if becoming acidic. I am also using Dr. Bonners soap which I think its really working by keeping the biofilm off my face. I am sure I left out alot of stuff out but I will post updates as I continue on this journy. I should also add that I will be switching to John Bs supplements after I am done with this round of my supplements. Anyway as Mel always says its the SUM of all not some of all. God Bless hope this help someone as it have helped me. monica 11/3/2011 4:57:55 PM Week 3 underway... Symptoms are so much better, less itching and biting all over the body, but, the head is still the main issue. I'm soaking, spraying, washing it, etc all the time. Yes,i know this takes time, and I'm to have patience. As I continue to get better all sorts of interesting things are coming out. Black specks, white specks, the plastic stuff,long white hairs, and short black ones,weird seed looking thingys...and ew... so far two wormy looking things. And, I have to say, I celebrate every 'better out than in' moment. I told myself the other day...I don't care what it is, as long as its dead when it leaves my body... ;-) I cannot adequately say how grateful I am, that I was able to find this site shortly after figuring out what was wrong with me. Lives are improved and saved everyday here and that's such a blessing. Thanks everyone, really...Thank You. ;-) monica 10/25/2011 1:07:35 PM So,week two starts today. So, I thought I'd give an update. The protocol is amazing! I'm so grateful for it. There were a few days where I had some herx-ing going on. But, because I've done a parasite cleanse in the past, I knew what the lethargy, bloating etc. was. So, I've been able to function quite well. I'm happy to report a lot of the biting, stinging, crawling sensations have diminished on my body. And, my new best friend has been a lint roller to get fibers off of me (I have no leisions). I've found that my nightly scrub of coconut oil and epsom salt to be very effective, to getting the weird white 'hair' like thingys to come out. And, I rinse with ACV, borax in water to remove any strays. As stated before, my scalp has been my biggest issue as of late. I've been soaking it in MMS... speaking of that; I'm getting used to the smell and taste. I don't know if its my determination or what, but, I now find that horrid smell comforting as I know that a lot of natsies will be dying everytime I drink it. And, that--that's encouraging! ;-) So, my scalp has been pushing out a lot of the white specks... at the most inconvenient of times. Like um...is it normal to have almost like a invisible volcanic explosion of white specs flying from your scalp??? And, is that indicative of them dying? Clarification on that would be helpful, as I've scoured the site and cannot find the answer. In any case... Thanks sooo very much every one of you. I am getting better, the protocol, my diet, D.E. and multi-vitamins are helping. Oh, and I'm losing the mysterious weight I'd been putting on over the years. Now, of course, I believe it was parasite and candida related... While this experience has been quite horrible at times, the blessing that is all of you has made it less so. Thank you, many blessings and rapdid healing! Monica 10/12/2011 3:48:50 PM Mel, Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it. You are correct, I'm here to restore my health, and, therefore will be diligent in following the protocol, as well as reading and listening to all the information here. Just a brief report regarding day one. The silver is just amazing, and the MMS--whoever said hold your nose while drinking it, is BRILLIANT! There's all sorts of crystals, specks and fuzzies popping out. And,the fact that I keep my skin moist with petroleum jelly treated with tea tree, clove and eucalyptus-- most of the time, makes it easier for the ickies to get out. I agree with, 'better out than in.' By nature I'm a positive person. I believe if given the correct tools to do its job, the body will and can heal itself. And,I'm just so grateful that you, and so many others have provided me with tools to get better. By the way Mel, I hope your surgery went well. You're already such a fighter and inspiration, so...I'm sure you'll be up and at 'em in no time. Many blessings, Monica mel 10/11/2011 1:51:09 PM Hello Monica, Welcome. I can feel that you have come here with a purpose;to restore your health. I can sense that you have read a lot and made the decision to proceed with the protocol. If you are diligent and totally committed, you have a great chance of restoring your health. Please continue to read as much as possible and listen to the conference call archives. Read the testimonials when things get tough; see that others have restored their health as well. Thank you for your kind words and faith. I will be watching you as you slowly return to the life you had before Morgellons. God Bless, Never give up HOPE! Mel Monica 10/11/2011 10:39:27 AM Started the protocol today... already happy with the Logos supplements and silver. I'm feeling really encouraged. Also soaked my scalp with MMS last night. I don't have a bathtub, so, the bathing part may not be an option. If anyone has suggestions on how to use MMS in a shower...please let me know. Thanks again for your help. Linda 10/9/2011 3:20:32 AM Hi Monica, It is good that you got right on to treating yourself which hopefully will mean that you will have an easier time in getting a handle on it. If your scalp is your main problem, be sure to soak your whole head as long as you can when you do the mms bath. It will wreck havock with your hair (may even bleach it out) but you can use tree tea oil conditioner or try something that others have recommended in prior posts. Watch the diet and your urine ph. ld Monica ** 10/6/2011 4:30:39 PM I first want to say it was a blessing to find this website. And, though I'm actually talking for the first time, I've already ordered the logos and A2Z products to start the protocol. I'm pretty sure I got Morgellons this summer after having a horrible experience in my basement apartment with fleas and bird mites, as a result of the wet winter the east coast had last year. Luckily for me, as soon as I realized what what happening to my body, I thought of morgellons... I should mention, I've been able to maintain a certain level of health through the usage of Food Grade DE earth, raw vinegar, essential oils (tea tree and clove have been a huge help), supplements (neem, alfa have been amazing), etc. Although, my scalp is now my main problem, its also the most annoying. I am looking to free myself of this sooner rather than later. And, all of you are helping in this fight. ;-) I just want to say thank you to everyone who has posted here, especially Mel. I think you are all amazing for fighting for yourselves, while the medical industry either ignores this or sits on its hands regarding this disease. I'm reading articles in earnest, and will soon be starting the protocol. Your Name: Email Address: Your Response:
