Hi all, I recovered from immune system challenges and toxicity with Mel’s protocol in 2012 and went on to have many of the greatest years of life and I did overcome several reinfections easily! I have encountered more health challenges this year and of course I am back on about 75% of the protocol (holding off on the harder parts due to my underlying issues) and I’m also still going through lots of testing, imaging and doctors to check what triggered my overall health. But I have not been able to find guidance with my skin. I do have a lot of symptoms of m right now and very well may have internal bugs or an imbalance of normal critters that live on us, but I’m also wondering if I have scabies, which I guess would take different, additional treatment. I thought there may be others on this forum that have researched about what the difference is. I am going to a dermatologist soon, but I’d expect they will recognize basic things like eczema, hives, etc. My question is, is this scabies, morgellons or immune reactions? Here’s what I’m seeing: -hive like bumps on the outsides of my hands that are itchy and seem to dry out in hot water and go down from my morning shower but re-emerge later on in a new spot. Sometimes I think the hives can look linear, which concerns me because that can be a scabies thing, but it’s vague because skin has fine lines and blood vessels are also linear so… it’s just unclear. These rashy hive areas get a little pink and fade to a bit of orange once they dry out and then heal (usually same day). -super dry, flaky skin everywhere except oil glands -occasionally itch in groin lines, middle back, warm sweatier places, sometimes clogged follicles -big toes have some fungal issues (silver gel is helpful) -tiny cuts on my hands often -find tiny little black hairs shed on my hands, resemble eyelashes but teeny tiny When I look up scabies, there are some pictures where you see tracks of scabs and I don’t have that, but then there are also pictures that are more vague like what I’m describing. I’ve been doing a lot of rigorous at-home treatment, protocol vitamins plus topical, essential oils, aloe, frequent washing, so I would think that if it was scabies, they would’ve been gone (I’ve had this 2 months). The other notable thing is that when I use something strong topically it generally just chases the problem around, so overwhelmed about the dermatologist- it doesn’t sound like what they use would be very helpful. I think Mel's full protocol might work for scabies too, but like I was saying, I have other health issues right now that prevent me from using certain things. I’ve been thinking that time would tell with this, but I still have no idea! Will go to the dermatologist but would also appreciate input! Thank you much :) | ||||||

Thank you both so, sooo much for your thoughts and encouraging words!! :) I do think that I have a pack of parasites and fungal problems presenting in a syndrome similar to Morgellons, but I was concerned if I also have scabies on top of that... I have heard terrible things about the creams, in terms of health and effectiveness (and topical doesn't make much sense for something that lives in skin), but I also wouldn't want to have scabies and not know because I've read that can lead to crusted scabies.... which is not good. So my interest in the dermatologist is really to have someone on deck just in case. I still believe that I will resolve on my own with the protocol and will be diligent with aloe/tea tree oil in case. The reason I'm questioning this is that I have such severely dry, flaky skin and I don't really remember that being such an issue when I first had Morgellons. I've also felt dehydrated despite drinking a lot of water though, so maybe that is the cause of the dry skin and I just have Morgellons with dehydration.. (getting an electrolyte panel done tomorrow). I'm hoping that I can improve overall enough to be on the full protocol and share good news soon! :) thank you both SO much for sharing your experiences and thoughts on my case- It really means a lot to me :) | ||||||

Hi Jul I am so sorry that you are suffering after having many years of being free of this disease. I too thought I had scabies but this was before I found out I had Morgellons; I unfortunately made the Morgellons worse using the topical cream that is designed to get shot of Scabies. I now know it was this Permethrin cream that made my symptoms so unbelievably bad, along with treating the house which I thought had fleas with a flea spray, again this has Permethrin in, a real no no when you are suffering with Morgellons. Your symptoms seem to be shouting out Morgellons, not Scabies to me but I'm not a doctor, i too went to a dermatologist and I was told basically it was in my head and that they could treat what was going on in my head and everything would be better, what a waste of time and money just to be told I was mentally disturbed. I only wish I had found Mel sooner because now on my medical records it says I have delusional parasitosis which will be on my files for life, so sad that the people you put your trust in, do not believe you. When you go, I would suggest you do not mention the word Morgellons just go in if you still feel the need to go and just ask what do you think this is, don't mention crawling or bugs! I would get it nipped in the bud and get back on the diet, low carbs and no sugar straight away, if you remember back when you were on the diet before, it made a big difference and keep on the Logos supplements' or at least the ones you are able to take, given your recent underlying health issues. I have stomach issues so getting my immune system into some sort of shape is an issue but I am getting there, I went from planning my funeral to now seeing the light, the diet is such a big part and I am sure you must have noticed that back in 2012. Just remember you have got well from this before, so you can do it again. Keep in touch. Freddie x | ||||||
