I just looked up the symptoms of kundaLini syndrome and they are in know way similar. People who try to marginalize this type of information is the very thing stopping it from being truly studied.

My mother suffered from Morgellons disease and it was so deeply rooted they didn't really know how to treat it.. the filaments that were visible were small fibers that were colorful and actually flame resistant .. but these filaments went deep into the skin and seemed to connect to nerve tissue.. the only way to remove them from the surface that they tried was freezing them off and strangely enough after that, they all cleared away.. there's no trace now, not even inside her body.. this was several years back.. now we're in 2011, still no trace.
There's been no other such cases in my family or around here..

I think you've gotten ahold of an article "with an agenda." It just said that the "terrifying disease" is "reaching pandemic status." I think they may have been talking to that "center for studying Morgellons" -- but from what I've seen, all the press from that group amounts to ... well, hysteria.
Like I told my students, "stop and think about what the words mean."
We had a flu pandemic recently. Hosptials were flooded with patients complaining of the flu. I knew fifteen people who had it (including nine of my students.) One adult friend died from it. I remember a day when about a third of my class was out with the flu. People and schools in other countries had similar experiences.
Are the hospitals in your city so full of patients that they're setting up annexes for them (as they were during the flu pandemic?) That's not happening in my city or in the cities around me. Are dermatology offices so full that they're turning patients away?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia are two diseases that they thought were "just in the mind" -- but studies showed a set of symptoms that were very clear (once they paid attention) and could be distinguished with a 10 minute visit.
I wasn't impressed with that website, either. It's full of "the world is a scary place and modern life is killing us" stories. A lot of their evidence is "we just told you it's true, so it MUST be true!"
So ask you friends and family how many of them have strange fibers coming out of their skins and constant itching and have been to the doctor for it. And check to see how crowded the local dermatology offices are.
My money is on Scary Stories Bring Website Readers motivation here.
yes there are 2 paths you can go by.. but in the long run.. there's still time to change the road you're on... and it makes me wonder

The active ingredient in Advantage Flea Treatment is imidacloprid, a neurotoxin which has been known to cause very serious adverse health problems, including thyroid, liver, spleen, heart, kidney, lung, brain and adrenal damage in laboratory animals.

I'm not sure if it's related, however, this immediately triggered me to think of the neurotoxin available in flea and tick remedies like Advantage.

Has anyone figured out exactly what Morgellons is? I read something the other day and it stated that Morgellons may be a new type of fungi. Regardless, this condition is fascination and horrific in the same breath.
I wonder if a certain "extract" may help with this condition. The "oil" seems to have positive effects on many things.edit on 17-8-2011 by kimish because: (no reason given)
