about its spread...

[Guest guest]

Call me an aweful person but I too think the spread of this disease is

one of the few things we have going for us in terms of the medical

community taking this on. So far the people who have been the best

help to us have been Lyme literate doctors and homeopaths with

experience with this.

(One note I would like to voice is that if anyone has ANY grounds to

sue a doctor in the name of Morgellon's research please do so.. its

just one more way we will make this a priority for the medical community)

I read an article recently <http://www.naturalnews.com/023004.html>

that states that 24% of people registered on the MRF website are in

California with a geographical clustering around San Fransisco. This

peaks my interest as I visited the SF area in November and am curious

if anyone else had visited any of the Morgellons hotspots prior to

becoming infected.

I really appreciate all of you who post and read daily. In a lot of

ways this group is all we have.

> Ian, I hope you can get the mental strength to keep going. These so

called doctors make us feel like giving up. How they can send a person

out the door with open sores on their skin, in obvious pain with

absolutely no help is beyond belief. Just keep fighting and as this

spreads in the general population maybe someone with a real medical

back ground will finally get sick with it and get their own research

going. I don't see any other way for answers to come......only by it

spreading. " A doctor who lacks doubt is not a doctor, he is an

executioner. " Rita
