However, most doctors maintain that the condition is psychological rather than physical. "It may irritate those who cannot accept the diagnosis of delusional infestation," he says. "But the study shows that delusional infestation exists and that it is the patients who are wrong." [link to www.cnn.com] You are not quoting the correct determination. There are two studies. One that was done by the Mayo clinic by different doctors, which is what you are referring to. The study done by the CDC has not yet been released. I had to point that out otherwise it is deceptive. Thank you. Tony |

What a load of crap. Anyone with a brain can see that the above is silly. Yet thousands of people all over the world have the same symptoms, same lesions, same mental challenges as all others with Morgellons. Is this a coincidence? Again, truly stupid. The CDC study will also say that Morgellons is delusional; I have that from an insider who was part of the study. So say what you will, but Morgellons is real and Morgellons people are suffering horribly. Thanks, Medical Community, you did it again just like you did with HIV/AIDS. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. |
