New Postings Coming Next Year!

I've been off line for quite some time and haven't gotten around to updating my blogs. I will be adding information in the new year as well I invite you to see my Morgellons facebook url, it takes you to my facebook site that offers weekly postings of Morgellons news and advice.
See Morgellons Information Canada Facebook, weekly news and update I don't go by a lot of theories since there are so many out there, I can only speak honestly about what I've learned and I choose to keep it simple and natural. I feel that is more helpful especially for the newly afflicted who are fed so much information on the web already.
I know you are fearful and in more pain then you ever thought possible, you will get through this. You will tap into strength and reserves you never even thought you had. I too wondered as many of you may now if you will even survive this, trust and have faith, you will and it will get better.
I have grown to realize the hard way that you are truly what you eat.
My diet consisted of quick candy bars in between house cleaning jobs (which exposed me to too many chemicals that I am sure helped to compromise my immune system), and lots of prepared foods, any wonder I grew ill. I will be posting a new blog I'm working on soon about gardening and foods that are Morgellons busters.
Over the years I have been contacted by many sufferers who were trying anything and everything and deathly ill and in some cases suicidal. I offer them a ray of hope by simply being testimony that you can overcome and find the road to a decent wellness. Once I convince them to stop being aggressive and using extreme methods to try and rid themselves of this, and they address it from a nutritional viewpoint and the Klinghardt Protocol, they see a lot of improvement. It doesn't happen overnight, it took years of poor diet and/or exposure to an overload of pollutants to debilitate you, it will take time to reverse it.
I have not had black specks or fibers in 7 years now, my lesions are minimal and stomach swelling reduced tremendously. I moved to the forest for wellness and to grow my own food. I hardly speak to the doctor, a once a year physical is about it, I got tired of fighting with them that I was not self-mutilating or having thoughts of suicide or that the only way I would be put in observation is if I said I was suicidal and went to a mental ward, that a regular hospital wouldn't have the time. No way were they going to get me to lie about that!
From day one I told my doc I thought I was sick from exposure to Round Up on the farm, he backed away from me wide eyed, had I come to close to the truth then? More than ten years later I'm convinced that's exactly what happened.
Once I stormed out of a hospital stating loudly "Showtimes over" after an intern observed the fibers coming out of my skin and just shook his head, the nurse came back and told me I could leave, I asked what were they going to do, she just shrugged. I've been escorted out of the hospital another time after the doctor refused to examine me after 4 hours in the waiting room and even the security guards had mercy and said I should try another hospital. I sobbed that I had tried them all, no one will observe what my skin is doing. After a year of frustration doctor hopping and skin specialists and internist who was useless and straining my marriage I suffered in silence. I gave up all meds as they were damaging my organs. My doctor TG finally agreed to medical marijuana.
During this time I had stresses from PTSD on top of it.
God prompted me (as I was to ill on my own strength to do it but supernatural power came into it) to pack up and move 500kms away. There were people and things I had to remove myself from in order to start to work on me and get well and closer to my daughter. It was there I felt I had to go to the forest to rejuvenate. We would take day trips a few times a week. Something about the greenery and scent of the pines restored something inside of me, I started feeling alive. I knew we had to move to the forest for good.
We've been here three years now. We have a river in front to canoe in and hills of forest in the back. We are on a half acre, half of it workable. My determination to have a garden got me out and one shovel at a time I got stronger. The next year I expanded my garden double and double yet again last year. All of it by hand and my strength improving year by year.
I renewed my art interest and was compelled to use the nature around me in my work. The peace sign below is one of my pieces.
Hard to think back over 10 years ago when I was near death and immobile and suffered 24/7.
I am a loner after being shunned by ones who I thought were close but backed away and from feeling like I had leprosy almost and horrified reactions from strangers because I looked a mess. Whether I get back in the loop honestly, right now it doesn't matter. I need this time to focus on priorities and my children and grandchildren and my dear husband who has stuck by me through it all are all I care about right now. The lesions are nearly gone, I have pigmentation discoloration but that is common in post-menopausal women so I'm not self-conscious about that. I don't cover-up like I used to.
God told me "All would be well" when I was at my worst state and even though it got worse at times back then, I trusted that voice and He has helped me through a lot since. He got me here!

Mayo Clinics advice for relieving Morgellons

They have not concluded what morgellons is, only that it is being studied. The idea that they are offering medical advice is a start, especially coming from a renowned hospital. Hope is on our side!

SPICE AND HERBS AND THEIR BENEFITS

Dried herbsHerbs & Spices

Herbs & Spices not only add great flavour to your food, some can even have higher antioxidant activity than fruits, vegetables and some spices, including garlic. Here are tips for growing and caring for your spices, as well as more information on their health benefits.

Culinary herbs are different from spices. Generally, culinary herbs are fresh or dried leaves while spices are seeds, roots, fruits, flowers, and bark. Culinary herbs usually have a mild flavor while spices tend to have a stronger, pungent flavor.

Partial list of Herbs: basil, bay leaf, chervil, dill, fennel, lavender, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme.

Partial list of Spices: allspice, anise seed, caraway seed, cardamom, cayenne pepper, celery seed, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, curry powder, ginger, mace, mustard, nutmeg, paprika, black pepper, poppy seed, saffron, sesame seed, turmeric.

Herbal Use in Recipes:

Use three times the amount of chopped fresh herbs versus dried herbs called for in a recipe. For example, use 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) chopped fresh sage instead of 1 teaspoon dried.

Fresh HerbsIf you have grown your own herbs and want to preserve them at the end of the outdoor growing season for use in winter recipes, try freezing them to preserve more fresh taste, as drying them reduces their flavor.

Keeping Fresh Herbs Fresh:

To store most fresh herbs that you purchase in the grocery store, keep them fresh by standing the bunch in a glass with 1 inch of cold water. Secure a plastic bag over the top and refrigerate for up to 10 days, changing the water every 2 days.

How to Cut Herbs:

To gather leaves from your outdoor herbs, cut or pinch down to the next grouping of leaves. For grass-like herbs (chives), cut at the base of the herb.

Strong herbs: Winter savory, rosemary and sage.

Herbs strong enough for accent: Sweet basil, dill, mint, sweet marjoram, tarragon and thyme.

Herbs for blending: Chives, parsley and summer savory.

Fresh Herbs

Storage and Flavor of Herbs and Spices

Stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, spices retain their potency longer than you'd think.

4 years for whole spices
2 to 3 years for ground spices
1 to 3 years for leafy herbs
, depending on the herb.

Whole peppercorns, nutmegs, and cinnamon sticks hold on to their flavor for ages.

Particularly potent whole spices, such as cloves, cumin, and cardamom will also last for a long, long time.

Ideally, try to purchase spices whole and grind them, as you do not know how long ground spices have been stored in a warehouse or store.

Whole spices will keep the longest, because they have not been cracked or ground, exposing the volatile compounds which make up their flavor to the air. They can last up to four years in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and will keep even better in the dark


Health Benefits of Herbs and Spices

Researchers say many herbs are only absorbed by the body when they are eaten with fat, so cooking with oil will help release the antioxidants.

Taking herbs and spices as a supplement in pill form will not do much for you because supplements are usually taken with water and your body cannot absorb them that way.

Herbs have higher antioxidant activity than fruits, vegetables and some spices, including garlic. Those with the most antioxidants are, in order, oregano, dill, thyme, rosemary and peppermint.

Some spices have always been known for their help in preserving foods. Recent work has shown that gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are slowed with the addition of "... garlic, onion, cinnamon, cloves, thyme, sage, and others..." These spices are being found to inhibit the growth of microbes: cinnamon, cloves, mustard, allspice, bay leaf, caraway, coriander, cumin, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, and, to a lesser extent, black pepper, red pepper, and ginger.

Health Benefits From Herbs, Spices and Foods
The jury is dived about fortified vitamins, some say that they work against inflammatory disorders. For me thats how it seemed. I don't argue, I found ways to get what I needed by eating powerful foods and coming up with recipes where I could use as much nutrient charged ingredients I could put together and taste great!

I no longer have stomach pain and horrible swelling, not for two years now. I use every herb and spice I can in my cooking. Garlic,cilantro,rosemary,cumin(lots of it, it is the best), coriander(it is the manna seed the bible talks about),cinnamon, raw ginger. many other healing spices and herbs. Beans of every type especially black beans and lentils, very powerful food. My dentist, who is an Asian nutritionist consultant as well says no fruit, only bananas, they regulate sugar. Other fruits have too much sugar, Morgellons, cancer thrives on sugar. Tomatoes have lactose, if you're lactose intolerance, can cause stomach cramps. I had to stay away from dairy all together for a couple years. No sugar, no sugar! Lots and lots of olive oil, also very good.


No artificial sugar, honey if you really need sweet.


Organic meat, vegetables whenever possible. Try and avoid processed foods, no hydrogenated foods at all!


I eat homemade soups and stews 3 times a week. My lesions are nearly gone and leg tremors gone, neurological symptoms near normal,sensitivity to light much, much better,no black specks for two years, and no fibers for 3 years.
Black Bean Chili Recipe
Here's my black bean chili recipe even my husband with severe ulcers can eat, because I don't use chili powder. It is the ultimate power food!
In 2 tbsp. olive oil, fry small, chopped, onion, 1 cup chopped, brown mushrooms, diced green pepper, add 1 lb. hamburger, brown, add 1 Tbsp. chopped garlic 3 tsp. sea salt, 2 tsp. black pepper. Add, med. size can of tomato sauce, can of black beans drained, but don't rinse, 1/2 Tbsp. black olives, chopped Tbsp. lime juice, 1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce, 1/2 C. brown rice, 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar or red wine, stir. Add enough water for a soupy consistency.
You can use diced carrots, celery if desired
Simmer low heat 3 hours add 1 cup of water every hour and stir well occasionally. After 3 hours, add enough water for desired thickness only.
Half hour before serving(not before, for fullest flavor): chop handful of cilantro,rosemary,parsley,oregano, whatever (fresh herbs you think will work) toss in the pot with one whole bay leaf. (remove bay leaf before serving).

Stir gently until distributed.

Ok this is where you can get creative, or use what is on hand any of these and whatever else you think will go.

Heaping tsp. coriander, cumin, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp paprika.

I use a lot of the above herbs and spices in chicken soup, 1 tps lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. ginger, white wine to taste if desired. Instead of red wine and hot sauce

In the past two years I haven't had much problem with my stomach, urine problems, bowel problems. It has been all good for my system.

If your not used to high fiber diet, you may want to use as a side dish for a while.

It may make you cramp a bit at first and have more than average bowel movement. It's backed up sludge that needs cleansing to be honest. You will regulate.

You may notice more activity in the beginning, hard bits, junk flush up out of skin, bear with it! That's your immune system kicking the buggers, bad bacteria out. If you eat this 3 times a week, I eat if for a snack now, (black bean chips and use for a dip, yummy), in about two months your stomach swelling will be much better, muscle pain, joint pain all your symptoms will improve. I used to have real problems with my organs, urine problems ,bowel problems, heart, everything is much better now. My lesions used to look like someone hacked me up with a hatchet and I couldn't move for the swelling. Now my lesions are nearly gone. I had it bad for 5 years and had to learn what's best to eat.

I use pulverized ginger, and lemon juice in my bath and it sloughs off rough skin, also good for dandruff. Works excellent for my cats dander. I wet a cloth and put ginger and lemon inside and rub cloth all over areas affected. Don't get in poor kitty's eyes and make sure cloth wet enough so it's not too concentrated and give them a good comb out.. Do this every three days and their dander is gone. I finally convinced my Hubby to use it, he was plagued with heavy dandruff for months. He finally couldn't stand it and no shampoo worked. I take the pulverized ginger 1 Tbsp. and 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice, work it in and leave it for 5 minutes. It makes his hair and scalp feel good. Now I only have to treat him once a week and there is no embarrassing flaking in between.


I wish you all the luck, I know how baffling it this disorder can be!
