Morgellons disease is a growing epidemic in America and abroad. It is an unknown disease which is said to cause uncontrollable itching and symptoms of feeling like bugs are crawling all over your body. It also creates a host of painful lesions, rashes, and sores on your body which are said to never heal. Reported cases of the disease are commonly tracked to California, Texas, and Florida. The remarkable thing about the disease is that a large percentage of doctors do not recognize Morgellons as a disease and claim that inhabitants of the disease are delusional who suffer as hypochondriacs.

Under a microscope and/or with the naked eye the disease shows bizarre fibers either clear, white, blue, or red. Other symptoms include muscle pain, contractions, anemia, enlarged liver, and spleen degeneration. There are also neurological symptoms associated with Morgellons disease such as memory impairment, confusion, deep depression, chronic fatigue, and attention deficit disorder (brain fog). The lesions, sores, and skin rashes created by Morgellons disease are reported not to heal well, therefore leaving large discolored marks and blemishes on your skin.

The fact that doctors and medical pathologist refuse to recognize Morgellons and ignore reports of the disease is making life unbearable for many, simply because they are not getting any meaningful treatment for this disease. To add injury to insult, patients are considered to be crying wolf when constantly trying to prove to their physicians that Morgellons is real and exists. Some physicians have refused to tend to their Morgellon patients claiming doctors have dropped them as a patient altogether because they are unable to prescribe any medication for Morgellons disease. Morgellons disease is commonly misdiagnosed as being Lyme disease, staph infection, or a fungal disease, but untreatable. Morgellons disease is said to mimic scabies and lice, yet again it is untreatable.

Patients of Morgellons are left no other choice but to do self research, self diagnosis, self medication, and self treatment, since medical professionals refuse to believe their cry for help. This is seemingly a hopeless disease.

There are non-profit organizations such as Morgellons Research Foundation which have propped up to bring awareness to the Morgellons disease. There are also treatments such as Nutrasilver that relieves most of the symptoms in a relatively short timeframe.

Some people despise these companies for capitalizing off of someone else's pain and suffering. Well, I see it like this: if you rely on your major pharmaceutical companies to come up with a solution which they currently are not even investigating, then expect to pay high rates through insurance for your care.

This disease is so unbearable that it is reported to be the cause of suicide for many. The small companies who capitalize today from Morgellons disease are making far less profits than if the major pharmaceutical companies take notice. I applaud the efforts of Nutrasilver and the like. There are many testimonials about the product saying that it does heal the lesions and eliminate the cognitive issues with Morgellons disease and other rare skin diseases, so in my eyes at least it is working, while our Congress and government are doing nothing. Unless you consider $338,000 to fund a study from funds from the CDC who has refused to investigate Morgellons with more complaints than any other disease for over six years.
