Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 The entomologist at the local university told me my samples were plants, not insects. Usually, I keep my bedroom windows slightly open at night to increase the oxygen in the room. But lately, I've noticed the biting/crawling getting worse when I do. There are bushes outside, rubbing up against the window. My sense is, the plants may be creating some of this havoc. Tried a lemon-eucalyptus insect repellent today, but it didn't work. Also, tried using a citronella candle- this also didn't work. High quality tea-tree oil works well for me. Also, neem oil is safe to use around the sensitive eye area (really good for hair too).

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 HI CERPH my windows used to be a nite mare , I sprayed the screens with dawn 1 cup & 5 cups of water , then later , borax water 1 cup per gal of water , I never feel then coming in the windows anymore . Also soaking the outside of your house with arm & hammer powdered laundry soap 1 cup per gallon will kill the bug . It leaves a white residue , which ashes off with soap & water later .

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I too found that tea tree oil is effective. Lavender oil and peppermint oil are also somewhat effective and they smell nice. I didn't find eucalyptus oil to be effective.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Dear Zoe, I think this is one of the "sames" we can all claim - that whatever it is - it's certainly been more active at night and much less in the mornings - even disappearing for the most part. Judy Re: Question for Group I've been really wondering why it does get worse in the evenings and better in the later morning. Do any bacteria, fungi, or viruses become more active at certain times. Plants grow in the dark hours not the light. Lots of organisms are nocturnal... is this a GMO nocturnal creature??? So freakish... Whatever this is is more likely to cause lesions and crawling if my skin is moist and warm... not cold and dry. When I would sit in our hot tub, I would get bites all over my skin in a complete ring around my upper arms and body at the water line. Yikes! I got so scared that I stopped going into it altogether.z3> > >> > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening.> > > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off.> > > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 D For me this supports the theory of agrobacterium even more. Very impressive the time the university put into this. I have always had good responses from my local extension office. GMO could be a large reason for this and immune system makes us more susceptible. There is also theory that ticks and possibly other insects may vector agrobacterium. So even if not directly related to insects there may still be relation. M http://www.naturalnews.com/025757.html The term zoonotic refers to any disease that is able to jump the divide from animals to people. Microbes created for bioterrorism are zoonotic. There are many known zoonotic diseases, such as Lyme disease and malaria. Vectors are the transmitters of disease-causing organisms that carry the pathogens from one host to another. By common usage, vectors are considered to be invertebrate animals, usually arthropods. Technically, vertebrates can also act as vectors, including foxes, raccoons, and skunks, which can all transmit disease to humans through a bite. Mosquitoes and ticks are the most notable disease vectors, although mites and gnats may also carry disease. Enteric diseases are bacterial and viral infections of the gastrointestinal tract that account for an under appreciated burden of morbidity and mortality domestically and abroad. The involvement of ZVED in creating the CDC webpage for Mogellons clearly implies acceptance by the CDC that Morgellons is a disease involving not just fibers but parasites. ZVED's vision statement describes three goals: accelerating prevention, control, and preparedness of ecologically mediated microbial threats; global vision, global presence, global reach, and health impact; and working at the intersection of human, animal, and ecological health to achieve healthier people, places, and a healthier world. > > > > > > > > > > > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening. > > > > > > > > > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off. > > > > > > > > > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

No one else on earth could possibly understand what this affliction is like if they haven't experienced it.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I agree. This is torture on every level, and in a time when others are less concerned with the truth, justice, compassion, and love. This world's spinning too fast. People don't have the time to BE with each other (they're too busy doing things- and " multi-tasking " ). Other cultures are content with DOing one thing at a time (aka- Zen). Western " civilization " is congradulating itself in doing 10 things at a time. It's as though the quality of life is going down, and the quantity is going up.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I would think if ticks which are of the same family could vector agrobacterium that mites and perhaps insects in general could. I have come across another article of interest on agrobacterium that should awaken us all, this is written in the UK not the states. http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Agrobacterium.php Until quite recently, the genetic engineering community has assumed that Agrobacterium does not infect animal cells, and certainly would not transfer genes into them. But this has been proved wrong. A paper published earlier this year reports that T-DNA can be transferred to the chromosomes of human cancer cells [1]. In fact, Agrobacterium attaches to and genetically transforms several types of human cells. The researchers found that in stably transformed HeLa cells, the integration event occurred at the right border of the Ti plasmid's T-DNA, exactly as would happen when it is being transferred into a plant cell genome. This suggests that Agrobacterium transforms human cells by a mechanism similar to that which it uses for transformation of plants cells. The paper shows that human cancer cells along with neuron and kidney cells were transformed with the Agrobacterium T-DNA. Such observations should raise alarm for those who use Agrobacterium in the laboratory. The integrated T-DNA will almost certainly act as a mutagen as it integrates into human chromosomes. Cancer can be triggered by activation of oncogenes (ie, cancer genes) or inactivation of cancer suppressing genes. Furthermore, the sequences carried within the T-DNA in the transforming bacterium can be expressed in the transformed cells (the viral promoter CaMV has been found to be active in HeLa cells [2]) and constructions currently being tested include pharmaceutically active human genes such as the interleukins [3]. It is clear that little has been done to prevent environmental escape of the transforming bacteria or to quantify such releases. In conclusion, a study of cancer incidence among those exposed to Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the laboratory and in the field is needed. It would be worthwhile to screen workers for T-DNA sequences. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hope - this was as I suspected and I believe this to be accurate information. Thanks for posting it, although it is really bad news for all of us because no matter which insect you were bitten by or environmental toxin, there is a strong chance the bugs/mites/flies, whatever were carrying agrobacterium , Lyme and co-infections. The possibilities of what this can do seem to be endless and it is frightening. No wonder the lawsuit regarding nanotransformation.com. Big pharma definately want to keep the information regarding transmission of agrobacterium cross contamination quiet. I'm wondering if there is any stopping the agrobacterium. Dr. S believes there is... so we shall see. God help us all.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Cerph You asked: What spraying device do you use? A garden sprayer , chapin brand is the best 130 years in business & gauranteed for life & , sold at all Ace hardwares $10-12.00 for the 1 gallon sprayer . If it breaks they send me a new part or sprayer the same day I call them . Even an old windex bottle works fine though . They still never come in my screens a far as I know . I did also move away from the window they used to come in, but Islept under another window & they didn t get me Bye , keep me posted of any theing that helps God bless you , Bill On Mon Apr 19th, 2010 9:44 PM EDT cerph@... wrote: >Hey Bill, > >Thanks for the suggestions. > >What spraying device do you use? > >D. > > > > >> >> > > > > >> >> > > > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening. >> >> > > > > >> >> > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off. >> >> > > > > >> >> > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Many people have issues with sulfa drugs. I have not heard of a connection between iodine and sulfur. Sulfur items are generally good for detoxification - examples are garlic and onions. question for group My husband is taking iodine painted on belly, (benedine) for his neuorapthy from chemo. I wrote about it but did not get one response from anyone. He has to take an anti biotic to prevent the PCP pnemonia. Bactrim was the choice but he had an allergic reaction to it ( it is sulfer based) He was suing the iodine at the same time and I am looking for a connection. Is there an interaction between sulfur and iodine? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm sorry you didn't get a response to your first post, Peggy. I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. A lot of people are and may not even know it because sulfa drugs are no longer the first choice for most antibiotic applications, whereas they once were. There is not a problem with iodine and sulphur-containing items, someone else asked about this recently. Our biology requires both sulphur and iodine-- there's no way those two extremely basic requirements are antagonistic. And of all the myths about iodine that are perpetuated in Western medicine, that one isn't part of it. ok back to bed for me. -- At 09:04 AM 11/9/2010, you wrote: >Many people have issues with sulfa drugs.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I know of no direct connection between sulfur & iodine. (That's probably why nobody answered the first time.) However, sulfur promotes detox (more in some people than in others, due to genetic differences), & iodine promotes detox, & a few people have reported an uncomfortable synergy when 2 detox regimens are used together.I don't remember the nature of the allergic reaction. Is it possible it was actually a detox reaction, from detoxing uncomfortably fast? If so, the trick would be to moderate the detox with supportive nutrients. (Mind, this is wild speculation.)AnneOn Nov 9, 2010, at 6:56 AM, peggy schlayer wrote: My husband is taking iodine painted on belly, (benedine) for his neuorapthy from chemo.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 The reaction is severe. It is full body rash, swollen and a skin peel, cracked skin and split heels. Eyes very red and sensitive to light, headache and general feeling of being very sick. My husband is taking iodine painted on belly, (benedine) for his neuorapthy from chemo. I wrote about it but did not get one response from anyone. He has to take an anti biotic to prevent the PCP pnemonia. Bactrim was the choice but he had an allergic reaction to it ( it is sulfer based) He was suing the iodine at the same time and I am looking for a connection. Is there an interaction between sulfur and iodine? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Those all sound as though they could potentially be detox reactions to me. So I would recommend that you go into major detox mode: extra vitamin C (like HUGE amounts, & I would prefer liposomal), detoxing baths or sauna or colonics, drinking extra water, maybe a liver cleanse. Rebounding. Salt loading for the iodine part of the equation.The detox equation is a complex one. Our bodies are designed to detox, but when they get overwhelmed, all the detox pathways get closed down. The more toxic you get, the harder it is to detox. You need to slow down the input of detoxing agents, until you get the output increased.AnneOn Nov 9, 2010, at 12:03 PM, peggy schlayer wrote: The reaction is severe.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 It's not Sulfur, it's Sulfa! He is having a sulfa allergic reaction which could turn into the deadly s- Syndrome. He needs to go back to the Dr. who prescribed the Bactrim and probably get on prednisone or something similar to block the allergic reaction. In a message dated 11/9/2010 5:34:43 P.M.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 But they could also be allergy, and it seems unlikely to me that detoxification (generally a good thing) is accomplished by an antibiotic (people need to detox FROM antiobiotics). I just don't think that is the answer here. I think he's allergic to sulfa. I was given an eyedrop once many years after it was first established I was allergic, they didn't ask me if I was allergic to anything, turned out to be sulfa. I used the eyedrops , I got itchy, had a metallic taste in my mouth, got sick. They said oops, you really are allergic. -- >Those all sound as though they could potentially be detox reactions to me. >So I would recommend that you go into major detox mode: extra vitamin C >(like HUGE amounts, & I would prefer liposomal), detoxing baths or sauna >or colonics, drinking extra water, maybe a liver cleanse.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 The question, as asked, was about sulfur & iodine. I am embarrassed that I missed this. I had a horrible allergic reaction to a sulfa drug myself, & know other people who have had, too. Sulpha drugs can screw you up all on their own, & it has nothing to do with iodine.
