I believe that there are some precautions you can take that may make a difference. There are probably other things we all worry about in the beginning that really don't matter much. I will try to give you my perspective and I hope other parents will chime in with their viewpoints as well. I am a mom of a 10 year old daughter who came down with Morgellons at the age of six. She is now a perfectly healthy little girl after several years on our protocol for children, and another year on a limited maintenance plan. She was the first to get sick in our family and I contracted Morgellons later. This isn’t typical as it is often we adults who are most vulnerable to this disease. I know you’ve likely already read much on our site and you know that children almost always get well quickly since their little bodies are much cleaner and their immune systems more able to adapt and fight than ours are. I hope that is comforting for you to know. When my daughter first got sick I tried to protect myself from “catching” this mystery disease from her by limiting my physical contact with her. It nearly broke both our hearts. Eventually I started wrapping her in a clean blanket after her baths and bundling her in my lap so I could cuddle and comfort her. It helped, but in the long run I did become ill with Morgellons. I don’t believe it was because of physical contact with my daughter, it was because my bio-terain was primed to receive and be a host for the Morgellons organism. No amount of avoiding affection and contact could have protected me. The greatest shield of protection you can give your precious children is to work on their health at the same time that you work to recover your own. My husband was NOT infected with MD early on and immediately went on the protocol and began building his health as a precaution. After a year and a half of exposure on a daily basis he did develop some very minor symptoms which never became full-blown Morgellons. His life was minimally impacted and he is 100% healthy today. And this after having had Lyme disease for nearly a decade. Our protocol is not only a health recovery program, it is a health protective program. I recommend putting your children on as much of a modified protocol as you can afford in order to keep them healthy. Ask John B. which of the components would be most helpful in building up their immunity and begin the diet with your kids as soon as possible. That won’t be easy. . . believe me, I know! ;-) But for you, the good news is your kids are very young and able to adjust to a new diet easier than older kids. Commit to this and stick with it no matter what; regardless of tears, or wining and expect some resistance. Be gentle, start slowly but don’t give in. It is the best thing you can do for them. Hugging is not in and of itself going to give your children Morgellons. On the other hand, I do believe keeping your environment spotlessly clean and refusing to share towels, sheets (no cuddling in bed ;-( , no eating off of shared dishes, or drinking out of the same glass, etc., can make a big difference. Waiting for closer contact until after you have been on the protocol for three months can also help. Taking an enzyme or MMS bath and then scheduling regular times of holding your clean blanket-bundled kids for reading and cuddling can also meet their needs and yours with less risk. Whatever you decide to do about the question of physical contact, be sure you start your little ones on a sugar-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free diet immediately. Add in some of the best immune system boosters on our program and your children are well on their way to better life-long health for the future and for the present. . . protection from MD. God bless you and encourage you Paul as you recover your own health and care for your little ones. The most amazing warriors are our brave Moms and Dads who fight the battle on multiple fronts while never giving up hope! Deborah B. |
