This is a big step forward from the establishment view that Morgellon’s is just “delusions of parasitosis” (crazy).

I agree on all accounts except one; there is an effective treatment known as Nutrasilver. Thousands of Morgellons victims have eliminated most, if not all of their symptoms with this product. Healing is rapid and most Morgellons patients see their lesions gone in 3 weeks and their cognitive issues resolved in 2 weeks.
Although not a cure, Nutrasilver allows the patient to live a somewhat ‘normal’ life.
