Justin 3/12/2013 10:10:51 AM | Hi Mel, I have gathered allot of the useful info I found helpful for anyone starting out on the Morgellons highway. I took stuff right from the forum posts and ended up with about 9 pages! I didn't want to include everything, I kind of think the self researching helps people a bit. Getting them to look things up for themselves is important, but hopefully this would give any newbie a massive taste of what they are in for/helpful things like that. I included my own general take on the thoughts, and what it means to me as a 'newbie'. I also included a few very select quotes from Peter, Teresa S, and Monica. I didn't glean too many things from their posts much because I felt you should read all three of their threads in the entirety. Taking too much out of context didn't seem right you just have to read It. I tried emphasizing the many things I learned about how to deal with morgellons, plus included a few questions, I also tried including page numbers and things like that. I steered clear of specific diet things as much as possible but tried to emphasis the importance of it and using the sum of the parts approach, Hopefully it makes sense and isn't a total mess! The old adage less is more. I find with Morgellons increasingly its more is more lol... _________________________________________ Here is the useful information I have compiled: "Thymus- it was always my understanding that the thymus gland is the key ingredient in the rebuilding of and maintaining of the immune system's functions. The common denominator of our disease is the dysfunction of our immune system. The thymic formula is what I have used to rebuild my immune system" Mel P. 19 "Protocal question" Mel's response to importance of Thymic Formula Key insights: Morgellons thrives when the immune system is weakened rebuilding the immune system is key. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Tommy, "How did you treat your laundry?" Mel. " I never wear the same clothes longer than a day. I change the bed linen every other day. I allow the machine to fill up with hot water start it's first cycle, stop that cycle within a minute or two, let it soak for about an hour, then turn it back on to finish. I do a wash almost every day. I keep my home as clean as possible. I vacuum every day. P.19 "New Discussion Topic" Tommy's question on Laundry, Mels response. Key insight: Morgellons has an environmental component and that cleanliness seems helpful. *Note more complex ways of laundry doing progress involving MMS. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Lady Dee, "I just wanted to ask if during the time with Morgellons, did you move a lot or get rid of a lot of furniture, linens, clothing?" Mel, "I haven't moved in six years and never felt the need to get rid of furniture. I vacuum every day. I dust, Windex and, pledge every two or three days. I wash clothes every day. I change my linens every other day." P.19 "moving furniture ect." Lady Dee's question on moving getting rid of furniture. Mel's response Key insight: Although Morgellons has an environmental component it does not need to freak you out. It can be managed through cleaning. _________________________________________________________________________________ John B, " From Natural News... very interesting insights on the role of fungus and GMO technology Natural News Natural News P. 19 "Interesting articles" John B. post on possible connection to fungus and Morgellons Key insights: Morgellons seems to have a fungal component, bacterial component, GMOs are really unhelpful to people! How do you fight a fungus or whatever ?? Diet and Mel's Protocol! ______________________________________________________________________________________ kixx_rc, "mollecula silver, you mentioned a tablespoon... are you using a measuring spoon or any random spoon? Mel, "Molecula Silver regular tablespoon, my 16 oz bottle lasts just over 5 weeks. For mms, I noticed on another post you maxed out at 15 drops... so for mms, our dosage is measured in drops? Do we start off with a certain amt and increase? How do you know when you've hit your max?" For using MMS you MUST read and follow the instructions on the FAQ page of this web site. ALL MMS QUESTIONS ABOUT DOSING SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO MEL ONLY!. .P.19 "Molecular silver and mms dosage questions" Kixx question regarding mms, molecular silver dosage and Mel's response. Key insight: Use a tablespoon to measure molecular silver and it tends to last 5 weeks. Treat mms with respect measure in drops! Do your research on both by using the trusty site search! It will become your friend!! P.S. mms also has a simple ratio to citric acid 1:1, you can also find out approximately when you will reach your maximum tolerance for it also by reading more. Jocelyn, "I lived with my boyfriend for four years before getting Morgellons from him (he has had it 18 years.) From everything I've read whole families get it at once, or one member has it, and no other family members get it from them. Is it contagious or not? How long did you use the products before being clear, and do you need to continue the protocol long after? Mel," There are many theories. The common denominator amongst Morgellons sufferers is a dysfunctional immune system if you caught Morgellons from your boyfriend, it was at a time that your immune system was very weak." "After one month on the protocol I started to feel different. After two months I started to feel better. After three months I was symptom free. I have continued on this protocol for six months and will continue to do so." P. 19 Contagious? / How long of using products until clear... Jocelyn poses question about contagiousness of Morgellons and ask about long-term use, Mel's response Key insights: You can have Morgellons for awhile it might be contagious if another persons immune system is wreaked enough although no-one is really sure. You can beat it. Tommy, "after you were on you protocol for a month and started to get better did a lot of stuff come out your skin when you got out of the bath? And also how long did you stay at 12 drops of mms?" "The first bath contained a large amount of little black dots, hair fibers. Scared the heck out of me. I actually kept going beyond 12 drops. Each person's body is different. I got ill @ 16 drops and then backed off for two days and started my MMS maintenance program. (Ill Growling stomach, bad diarrhea." P. 18 "Mel after bath" Tommy poses question about die-off. Mel's response. Key insight: Expect the unexpected! Expect die-off in bath water, and everyone's body is different listen to it. The body knows what it needs and what it doesn't need. It's just a little lost in the modern world. Mae, "The Healing Crisis was originally observed while administering antibiotics during the treatment of syphilis, but was later identified during the treatment of other illness and in a wide variety of natural healing programs. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process. Reactions may be mild or they may be severe. You should expect it and work with it. It is an indicator that the cleanse is working. There are several causes The body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. There will be ups and downs. You do not go immediately from disease to good health. This elimination process is what we call the 'healing crisis.' The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration. The end result: old tissues are replaced with new. There are three distinct categories of Cleansing Reaction When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large-scale die-off of bacteria, a significant amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body. The more bacteria present, and the stronger their endotoxins, the stronger the cleansing reaction. When any treatment or detox causes the organs of the body (particularly the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and poison residues) to release their stored poisons and toxins, a cleansing reaction may occur. Any program, such as fasting or the use of weight loss herbs that causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which are a storehouse for toxins), can be accompanied by a detox reaction. Specifically, we can now see that a variety of cleanses and/or products can initiate a detox reaction. Category 1 Intestinal Cleansing and Detox Programs can obviously trigger a die-off of bad bacteria in the intestinal tract and colon. Likewise, use of the probiotics will cause a die-off of bad intestinal bacteria (as much as 3 1/2 lbs worth) as new beneficial bacteria take their place. Digestive enzymes when first introduced can literally eat up colonies of bad bacteria, thereby releasing their endotoxins. And use of immune enhancers and pathogen destroyers can produce die-off, not only in the intestinal tract, but throughout the entire body. Category 2 The liver is the primary processing and storage organ for drug residues and poisons in the body. The primary purpose of the Liver/Gallbladder detox program is to flush those toxins out of the body. The bottom line is that this makes the use of this program one of THE most important for improving your Baseline of Health, but also the program most likely to cause a healing crisis. Use of an herbal blood cleansing program can likewise initiate a Herxheimer reaction Category 3 Rapid weight loss, when fasting for example, can also produce a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream Symptoms The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during the crisis. Reactions may include: Increased joint or muscle pain Headaches Diarrhea Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, sleeplessness Nausea Sinus congestion Fever (usually low grade) and/or chills Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges Drop in blood pressure Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes. Note: skin eruptions are often misdiagnosed as allergic reactions, resulting in the premature cessation of the cleansing program. Cold or flu-like symptoms You may think that you actually feel worse or that the treatment is not working at all during a cleanse. Do not despair. These are all signs that your treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances. Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately -- or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox. Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself. A cleansing, purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one's condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best. In fact, most people feel a surge of energy during the first few days of a cleanse. It is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. Thus the healing crisis. Do not be upset. It means your body is eliminating the toxins. Go as slowly as your body needs to so that your elimination is gradual and comfortable. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. Everything must be considered and given its proper place in the build-up to a healing crisis. You should expect it and work with it. Easing Your Way Through the Healing Crisis Drink plenty of fresh water (especially water), juices, and herbal teas to flush the body of toxins. Use colon stimulation formula to make sure that you are eliminating waste promptly. Symptoms frequently disappear immediately after a good bowel movement. Use ground flax seed daily to absorb toxins and to help speed their transit through the system. On occasion, a good enema or colon-irrigation can provide relief. Sometimes, rest is the best therapy. And, on rare occasions, a reduction of the dosage or temporary cessation may be required." P.18 Herxheimer Response-Healing Crisis - or aka Die off Mae posts an in depth healing crisis article Key insights: Pretty good take on the healing crisis and die off. You're going to feel worse before you feel better. As you begin the protocol expect different symptoms to aggravate or new ones to appear it's the body's way of cleaning itself of years of junk. ___________________________________________________________________ Deb, 2 "I am going thru a severe weight loss ever since I started the Protocol and changed my diet to NO sugar or dairy. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be eating to gain some weight?" Susanne, I don't have allot of info on the weight loss, but without dairy or sugar. . And I'm sure toxins are leaving. .as humans, I read we have alot of waste back up in lbs Mel, I lost 38 pounds during the first six months of my protocol, but have not lost weight in two months. John B, "You are wise to cut out sweets and limit dairy. However, lowering your overall fungal load and the corresponding exposure to mycotoxins can sometimes have a stimulatory affect on the thyroid. Mycotoxins are xenoestrogens; estrogens have a suppressive effect on the thyroid. Your weight loss may have compounded the stimulatory affect because less fat equals less estrogens." You might consider starting with some L-glutamine and then moving up to Whey Protein Isolate to help you build muscle mass, increase energy levels and support immunity. P. 17 Weight loss problem, Deb2 posses question on weight loss on protocol. Gets some advice Key insights: Expect a bit of weight loss since your body is ridding itself of fat plus the reduction of fungal toxins stimulates your thyroid. Get enough protein and healthy fats to make up for the loss of sugar. Pamela mae, I would like to post the positives about my experience while being on this journey with all of you here. 1 .I found for the first time that their was hope for this disease. The hope keeps rekindling with friends, intelligent advice and constant refocusing on 'I can get well, I can do this, I can I can I can' 2. I found a community of people I can talk to about Morgellons.I am a bit private sometimes so it's been very healing to be able to share in this way. 3. I found I do not need to be humiliated any more by doctors and I can help others in the direction of finding Morgellons friendly practitioners for themselves (good feeling) 3. I found a sound definition of Morgellons and it reaffirmed that this multifaceted disease was not all in my mind. 4. Inch by inch I have slowly been reclaiming bits of my life. I have been loosing weight and feeling a little stronger every day. 5. I found sound scientifically valid research on the things involved with Morgellons.This took me out of the fearful frenzied pictures on the Internet and the wild theories about space aliens in my blood. Please. I have also learned SO much. So much. Don't you think when we are learning from scientifically sound data that we grow incredibly? 6. For the first time in 15 years I can sleep at night. This is an extreme miracle. 7. I found growth as a person in being a determined advocate for all of us with this disease. This by watching the sheer determination of Mel, and seeing John's kind, and merciful steadfastness, and by joining in the lives of you here, and feeling what you feel, -crying with some, praying, and sometimes just a good laugh. Thank you all for adding to my life and enlarging my sometimes-selfish vision. Thank you Mel for hanging in there with the good and the bad. Thanks John B. for all the research and commitment Thanks to all of you with your sweet voices. I think of you last thing at night and first thing in the morning... Blessings my brothers and sisters - I hope this is all right- and in some small way in the days to come I can serve and bless you. Because of Jesus great love, Pamela Mae P.S. I for one would love to hear. The smallest thing that you have been encouraged on - to you it might be small but to someone else it could bring huge hope! Thank You. P.16 Positive Results Since Starting This Protocol and Forum Key insights: Good stuff happens when people take charge of their own health and body! ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pamela Mae, "This should make you laugh, and amuse you. The other evening when I went to turn out the light I looked down and my beautiful little Beta Fish 'Buddy' was floating on his side. I am so sappy I started crying and saying 'oh no buddy please don't die!' My next thought was 'how do you perform CPR on a fish? I thought -'OK' I am giving the fish some MMS, it lives or dies. I mixed a solution of 3 drops and 15 drops lemon (the whole time thinking)' will a fish be ok with lemon?' I turned out the light and went to bed. When I got up in the morning -first thing I looked at was Buddy. He was swimming - happy as a lark, straight side up. I could not believe my eyes. Now, he is getting mms 1 or 2 times a day, same dose. And I now have one of those spectacular off the wall stories to tell that I always read and say 'REALLY?' For what its worth - 'THE FISH LIVES!" P. 13 "The fish lives" Pamela Mae recounting an usual story regarding a fish. Key insights: mms doesn't have to freak you out and what is good for a fish is safe for a person. __________________________________________________________________________ Pamela Mae, Dear Launderer, 'In regards to laundering, and so you don't make the same mistake Mel did I.E. 'The Tye Dyed T Shirt' here is an idea. We use MMS and laundry detergent and that's it (of course your fabric softener as you and Mel discussed) When using MMS in the washer you use it just as you would bleach. You add it by mixing 10 drops to 10 drops of activator (make sure you mix them and let them sit for 3 mins. before adding to wash) Let the water fill the washing machine and agitate a bit then add the MMS. Add clothes after the water and mms mix so you don't get the same 'Tye Dyed' effect that Mel got.' Mel added a T shirt before the water had mixed with the MMS and now has a beautifully Tye Dyed T shirt(which really he kinda likes) P10. "detergent" Question regarding laundry Key insights: Mms kills Morgellons in laundry if you soak the clothes in mms, as you would bleach beforehand. Just be careful!! _______________________________________________________________ Tim, "Just wondering if exercise (aerobic) is beneficial if one is able to do so-will it help you become more alkaline as well? Did Mel exercise during his protocol? Thanks." Mel, " I started to exercise after the end of the third month on the protocol. In the last 15 months lost over 40+ pds, as well as developing some upper body muscle tone. At 60+ years once again have 34 inch waist. Be careful not to sweat, I worked out in very cool temperatures." "PS. Not sure if the exercise help my alkaline balance, but it sure didn't hurt me! P.10 "Exercise Help" Tim posses a question to Mel regarding exercise and gets an answer Key Insights: Exercise is good for your body if your feeling well do something free that will only strengthen it more. John B, "It is great to see that you are doing so well and now that you 'have your life back', you care enough about those who are still suffering to come back here and lift others up. That is what Mel's life and this website are all about... in a couple of words, transformation and hope. I am aware that you have been faithfully following Mel's full protocol for quite some time now, and as is typically the case with those who do so, you have stabilized your health and restored your quality of life. Having survived and overcome this plague which can only be described as Hell on earth, many people would not want to glimpse back - and even if they did, the world from which they were once isolated has a way of recapturing one's time and talents. So thanks again for sharing your success and in the process, giving encouragement to all and restoring Hope to some who desperately need it." Peace and Blessings, John Burgstiner P.7 John B's response to Laurie on restoring her health. Key insights: when people follow the program for a time they begin seeing restored health and progress. ____________________________________________________________________ PS. "I feel I have gotten better using MMS. I started MMS in December of 2007. I'm still taking it. I did get a significant Herxheimer reaction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herxheimer_reaction However, due to the Herxheimer I knew it was working. I was taking MMS for rheumatologic disorders. It wasn't until the emergence of 'black specks' and a few months of research that I suspected Morgellons. I've now confirmed Morgellons - at least as well as is possible. MMS did cause me to break out with more skin lesions and have fibers, granules, and spheres come out. I look like a bit of a leper now. That is a good thing in my opinion. BETTER OUT THAN IN Since starting MMS my rheumatological disorders have improved (something very rare for my conditions)and require less prescription to control). My blood test have improved (liver and kidney function as well as other markers) And I feel better. I'm no were near 'cured' yet but I am better. With my other health issues possibly caused or exacerbated by Morgellons it's a wonder I lived this long. I BELIEVE THAT MMS SAVED MY LIFE. It continues to be a slow war of attrition. Now I'm winning that war." P.6 "MMS" Michelle "Ps's response to Clod regarding how MMS saved his life" Key insight: MMS is amazing and a key in the fight of Morgellons!! Winning the war of Morgellons is many small battles with a few guns, diet, protocal, environment, attitude, spiritual backup, mental resolve, exercise, research, and self-empowerment. And the great community on the website. P.S you have more guns ______________________________________________________________ Mel, " this protocol requires two things PATIENCE and DILLIGENCE" P.5 "Three most common questions asked" Regarding what it takes to do the protocol ________________________________________________________ Laurie, "I would like to make a statement that I feel attitude is EVERYTHING with this disease! If we 'focus' on it alone, it will eat us alive! If we try to ignore it as much as we can by changing our minds and focusing on other things, 'positive' things, the things that make us HAPPY, it helps extremely well! The more we stay in a negative state, the MORE we suffer." P.5 "Attitude" Laurie talks about attitude Key insight: Positive attitude is everything __________________________________________________ Mel, "Among the things I asked you to do was READ. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, for most questions are contained within the pages of the web site as well as all the answers. USE THE FEATURES WE HAVE CREATED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION (SEARCH, CONFERENCE CALL ARCHIVES, ETC.)! When depressed or scared READ the TESTIMONIALS to see how others have persevered and have also had their lives restored." P.5 "looking for support" Mel talks about what has helped others and is helping others Key Insights: Arming yourself with knowledge is key the more you know the less you fear. When I first contacted Mel he had me read "Less Itching On Me And The Dogs" Teresa S, "How Lucky Can You Get?" Peter, and "Living With This For A Few Months" Monica. Carrots of wisdom are really everywhere in those many posts so its really good to read them all. Here are a few selected carrots I found first from Teresa S. Peter and Monica. It will give you a wee taste of these guys. "My 3 dogs are even getting healthier too. I cannot sit down and eat my brown rice and beans, salad or kale without them begging me for some :) Have there been set backs? OH YES! But God Grace is so awesome and the body is so forgiving that it responds and corrects. I am marching eagerly towards my freedom from this dis-ease. The next 18 months on this protocol will fly by but my lifestyle has changed for the better forever." Teresa S "I have to say, yesterday, everything I consumed was anti-fungal I had kale yesterday, almond butter, carrots, olive oil, onions, green tea, lemons, lemon water, grapefruit juice... Now, mind you, this wasn't something I set out to do, it was what felt good to eat. And, I also had this overwhelming craving for carbs. You know how I dealt with it? Brown rice! Yes... I'm full, candida's fooled, and cannot feed off what I've eaten. All that, and the protocol just may explain the uptick in the purging. But, I gotta tell you something... I feel amazing! This one of the final pushes... I know it is... So, nothing, and no one will keep me from getting to the finish line. Which, is technically this coming April." Monica "My message this week is both simple, yet profound. Truth be known, this disease is most definitely curable." Peter Don't be overwhelmed! Take it at your own pace there is a learning curve to getting everything down. There's lots of info out there. You have to arm yourself with knowledge, and attitude, diet and protocol, laundry, and cleaning, perseverance, and diligence, faith and trust. Your life is different now but you don't have to let Morgellons run/ruin your life. You have to focus on yourself and heal yourself. Eat whole food, Take whole supplements, take strong medicine, your journeys are all different yet similar. Walk in the path others have taken and beat down the path, and widen it so more can follow till the path is clear for any who may walk on it! | ||||||

Hi Crochetgranny Pray your well and adjusting to the life of the protocol. I didn’t eat rice at all and still don’t eat rice because it turns to starch really quickly. If I may suggest not eating it at all until your past 8months on the protocol and have a talk with Mel about it to see what he says. Leslie | ||||||
