Excellent point you made about the opportunistic nature of Morgellons. One of the life lessons I have endeavored to pass along to my children is the truth that for the most part, our quality of life is directly proportional to the quality of our daily choices. That truth becomes all the more critical when one is dealing with a compromised bioterrain.
I sincerely hope that one day Morgellons will be conclusively linked to one particular pathogen, but for the moment it seems prudent to think of Morgellons as a syndrome or set of conditions that compromises the integrity of body systems allowing the proliferation of a variety of opportunistic pathogens.
In my view, we must therefore be cautious in how and to what we attribute certain symptoms that are commonly associated with the disease. For example, your description of the arm rash you experienced after eating birthday cake is "right out of the playbook" of a typical candida overgrowth scenario and one that I have personally experienced.
Having witnessed the restoration process of Mel and many others who are traveling this path, I have noticed a familiar pattern: an unraveling of symptoms as organs and systems are restored and toxic burdens are removed. Some say that the last vestiges of this struggle involve eradicating biofilm and pockets of fungal overgrowth. That would certainly be consistent with what we have seen.
Anyway, congratulations on your continued progress and thanks again for sharing your journey and your knowledge with us.
Blessings,
John |
