Joni Mitchell - Famous Singer Being Treated for Morgellons

Billboard Magazine ^

[Scythian]

The Fiddle and the Drum" remains the primary focus for Mitchell, who's also in the midst of treatments for Morgellons syndrome, an infectious and potentially debilitating skin condition that's put other endeavors on hold for now.

Yes, he is very cool and his music is timeless.

Here is another quote from that Weekly Standard article.

“the Vietnam war is the seemingly unbreakable link that ties Dylan to the left in the popular consciousness. Consider: Dylan wrote no songs about the Vietnam war during the 1960s. Zero. The songs Dylan wrote that antiwar protesters later seized upon (from Blowin’ in the Wind on down) were written when the Vietnam war was little more than a twinkle in John F. Kennedy’s eye. A close study of those songs would also reveal, as Dylan himself has stated in so many words, that they are not “antiwar” songs, as such. Just as with all his best work, they are based upon an almost unerring sense of human nature and a remarkable ability to ask questions that provoke revealing answers in the listener.”

Thanks for posting/linking. I first became aware of it several years ago from my super-informed friend, Dominic (RIP). IIRC he got his information from Rense. I have seen fascinating/frightening close-up pics/video. I remember at the time thinking/saying, “What the hell is this?”

Life/health/prayer BUMP!

[Scythian]

At the onset you literally come unglued and feel as if there are thousands of worms or bugs crawling beneath your skin, I had a lattice of red and blue fibers under my skin, no lesions thank goodness, but Morgellons nonetheless. I had clear salt like grains pouring from my foorhead, it was like glitter all over me, I could see it fall past my eyes from my forhead, I lost much of my hair (but it has regrown), and there were other things, so bizarre I dare not mention. I had a very dark period of dispair for the first year, going down in our basement and weeping beyond anything I had ever done before, how had this plague gotten a hold of me? God where are you, why are you letting this happen, I know with a thought you can remove this from me and so on. The things I cannot mention involving biolumenscense, they were horrible, frightening, I worried for my children, slept on a leather couch for two years downstairs to protect my wife, never, EVER touched or hugged my children to protect them, and sat only in wooded or leather chairs. I now am back in bed with my wife, and to hug the children but very sparingly, that has been the hardest part for me. I debate whether to leave the house for good to protect them. Watch this VIDEO of a guy trying to make his life liveable, it is no joke, it is maddening to the sufferer, what is it? what is in me? its everywhere? and so goes the mind. Nobody is sure what it is, many think a parasite, I personally think they are secondary invaders, as the skins immune system is totally shut down, and you have no idea what your skin is protecting you from, it is a suit of armor, but when it fails, oh boy, you are in for a very miserable life.

Hit this LINK and you will see many folks all over saying my saying my skin is crawling, feels like bugs are all under my skin and they are not on Morgellons forums they are searching for what has gone wrong, frankly, they are better off not knowing for now. Eventually some realize what is is and wind up on forums, most are out there suffering alone, the problem is huge, and alarming.

Dylan was a known firend of Stalin stooge Pete Seeger and his pal the Boss..

"There are some people who, for whatever reason, I can look past their political beliefs and appreciate their talents, too. But then there are some who are so obnoxious about it that they make it impossible to look past."

Like....Babs Streisand, Julia Roberts, Linda Ronstadt, the Dixie Chicks, etc., etc...... And then, there are others....like Madonna, Chevy Chase, Alec Baldwin, Whoopi Goldberg, that have NO talents except for shooting their ugly mouths off and showing their @ss, their true selves, for all to see. And another thing....if America is to have "communist-style" salary caps on all CEOs' salaries, then let there ALSO be caps on hollyweird actors, on sports celebrities and most especially, on all politicians, while we're at it.

That’s exactly right, according to everything I’ve ever heard about Bobby D. The Left was too dumb to know he never was into their garbage, and of course the media just went along with what the dumb lefties said, being for the most part dumb lefties themselves. Of course, being so enigmatic compaired to most famous folks didn’t help matters, but that’s Dylan.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned having scraped the lesions, and examined
the particles/threads visually, electron scope, chemically,
and or genetically(if any DNA/RNA) was present. I’m surprised
also that there is no known connnection mentioned between all the
sufferers, common geography, life experience, past illnesses,
water supply, radiation, genetics in parents, and siblings,
(acidosis-tip of the hat to the andromeda strain),medications,
illegal drug use, animal/plant vectors/contact. etc. It is
reported to occur to commonly for there not to be some
type of etiological evidence. I would suppose that it may
be some outworking of brain behaviour(i.e. induction of
hormonal changes or enervation of tissue that could cause
the symptoms.
Any way it turns out to be , may God grant someone the wisdom to
figure this thing out, and/or to heal it. And best wishes
and prayers for you.

So you were lying when you labelled Bob Dylan a Stalinist on this thread, people have friends from all walks of life especially artists and entertainers within their own field.

Maybe you can tell us about Ronald Reagan’s friends and associates, I was a part of the radical left world myself but there was never a time when I was not openly conservative, pro Vietnam and Christian.

Here is a little more on Dylan.

“While most left-wing Dylan fans have always quickly moved to forgive or forget Dylan’s sins, there are always those who continue to upbraid him. Mike Marqusee, in The Politics of Bob Dylan’s Art (2003), says, “If public life is an ongoing test for the artist, then when it came to Vietnam, Dylan failed.” He also bemoans the “fatalism of the later Dylan”—as if songs that place their hope primarily in the next world’s justice are somehow more “fatalistic” than 1963’s “The Ballad of Hollis Brown.” Earlier this year, in The Nation, Richard Goldstein took Dylan to task for his “sexism” and told us that “the rod of ages he clings to . . . is a phallus.”

On the other hand, there is also a largely unheralded brand of listener who is perceiving a funny thing in Dylan’s latter-day work: Many of his apparently secular songs of romantic love seem to resonate most strongly, and are arguably best understood, as songs of devotion to God. Is Dylan in some sense masking his (always controversial) faith in this (almost blasphemously) sly manner, where “you” often really means “You”?

It does appear clear that our view of Bob Dylan has been constricted by the “a-changin’” times during which he’s worked. And while the music of peers like Young and Springsteen is probably destined for artifact status as the decades pass by, Dylan’s seems likely to continue provoking consideration well into the future. It is also likely that that future belongs to those Dylan listeners who are not so much flummoxed by the enigma of an ever-shifting man of many faces—who supposedly swings back and forth between leftism, conservatism, faith, and nihilism—but instead to those who see a continuum in the precocious 22-year-old who wrote, “How many years can a mountain exist / before it is washed to the sea?” and the at-peace-in-his-own-skin 65-year-old who now sings:

In this earthly domain
Full of disappointment and pain
You’ll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you
And that’s sayin’ it true
And I’ll be with you when the deal goes down.

Posterity is likely to understand that the politics of Dylan’s art has always been on another level entirely.”

[Frantzie]

Get a life. I will find the actual text where Radosh talks about stalinist Seeger and Dylan.

[ansel12]

You stated that Bob Dylan is a Stalinist and you have not backed it up, yet you won’t let it go or apologize either, it is you that needs to “get a life”.

[Former MSM Viewer]

yes it was Miles of Aisles...

I have looked for a clip of it on YouTube but never found it...

and if you listened closely, after he said that, someone else said, “You have more class than all 3 of those girls.”

THAT was a funny exchange...

Some Info

[Sandy]

Any money this disease turns out to be an auto-immune disorder. Do steroids or anti-malarials work for you at all? Are there ever periods of remission?

[Scythian]

I have done Pharmasuitical grade Artemisinin and other things that are supposed to help Marlaria, I have done a barage of anti-parasiticals, Fenbendazole, Menbendazole, Albendazole, Ivermectin and so on. Things that end in azole are also anti-fungal (aka the Aripazole commericials you see on TV that is really a anti-parasitical, I think they are catching on to disease here in America finally). There are only a handful of real Parasitologists in the US, apparently, the thinking here is Americans are too good to be infested with parasites, and they have very little training and the testing that is done is really quite laughable. In India they can identify nematode infections with a sonagram quite quickly, here the US they basically say human nematode infection is impossible. It’s like saying there’s no Lyme Disease in Nevada yet tons of people are coming down with it in every state in the USA.

We are really in a sad state of affairs right now, heck, even the CDC posted that 1 in 9 children with pets are infected with hookworm, roundwork, and other deadly parasites from thier animals pets yet nothing is being done about it.

But yes, I have done more anti-parasitical stuff than you can imagine, for worms, mites, protozoa ...

[Sandy]

The reason I asked about antimalarial drugs is because they are commonly an effective treatment for lupus, which is an autoimmune disorder. JMHO, but I suggest you ask your doctor about the possibility that your disorder is autoimmune, which means your immune system is attacking your own body. Note, any infections would therefore be merely secondary to the primary autoimmune disease. Prednisone may work wonders, and it's cheaper than dirt. Ask your doctor.
