As this subject was so new to me, I thought that as a resource for people with the condition or have the symptoms but don't know why, and are being told they it's in their head (possibly truer literally than the dismissive practitioners realise) it would be good to have it mentioned. I don't think the condition would necessarily respond to CS unless the cause is single-celled; they don't seem sure at this point whether the "hairs" or "bristles" are debris or crittur. However, CS would certainly support the body systems, while something else such as microelectricity or Rife frequencies or coconut oil or FIR sauna or far older methods treated it. Here is a condition that one would expect to respond to sauna. You'll notice what treatment was used four hundred years ago!
http://www.morgellons.org/ According to the Morgellons Research Foundation, a number of people who had been diagnosed with CFS and FMS have after some years discovered the symptoms of Morgellons, a condition described back in the 1500s and 1600s. Sufferers find "threads" coming out of lesions in the skin, have unbearable itching, and little black specks also come from the lesions. It appears to occur around specific geographic locations. The threads are filamentous, branching, and have tentatively been identified as cellulose, and researchers recently speculated that it might just be dead DNA from the organism. They are described by sufferers as fuzzballs or lintballs, as they are often twisted into what looks like bundles of fibres. They do not come from textiles. They are usually white, but sometimes blue, black, or, rarely, red. The black specks are found also to contain fibres. Some 95% of patients are reported to have been diagnosed by their doctors as having delusional parasitosis - they are supposedly imagining parasites in their skin. They also have brain fog, CFS, FMS, ADHD, Bipolar, mood swings, depression, joint swelling and pain, rapid visual and aural decline, hair loss, autoimmune problems, and so on. Some people have the dreadful itching without any skin lesions. (When I was working for a CFS doctor, one of his patients rang me up and said that he had returned to the city and found that he had a child he didn't know about. He got back with the mother. After a few months, both mother and child had the dreadful itching that had been troubling him for a long time but "had no cause", there was nothing there according to the doctors. "But I know there's something there," he said, "especially since they didn't have this before I turned up". - R) One site with articles linked the problem with damp areas and named an organism. The problem was described as existing in Languedoc in the 1600s, and in a book published in 1544 this conditions was also described. It was mainly found in children, in the muscular parts. http://www.morgellons.org/kellett.html Draconcia and Dracunculus were names used back then. Schenkius said that when the women realised that their children were wasting away from this condition, they brought them to the sweating chambers. A 1588 book calls it pilaris affectio, "the hair affection" and the people treating it back then believed that unless the "hairs" were removed, the parasite would reach the brain and cause epilepsy. Another old book says the Languedoc people called it Masquelon. Various other people described them as bristles. http://www.morgellons.org/updates.html contains updates and description of the research being undertaken.
