"GENETICALLY MODOFIED ORGANISM'S"

O-kay...

sounds like sample contamination to me...

Is this in any way related to The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? It could be we have another terrorist problem on our hands, at least as dangerous, but very much more insidious, than that of the Islamofascists.

Sci Fi?

It looks like someone has made a connection between a study concerning a plant gene, and Morgellons, when the study said nothing about Morgellons.

In general, with curious diseases like Morgellons, I tend to give more credence to the sufferers than to sceptical doctors and scientists. In the case of chronic fatigue syndrome, for example, the CDC clearly made the assumption that it was a psychosomatic illness before they examined any cases. This was unscientific and they were eventually proven wrong.

After reading about Morgellons though, and looking at some pictures, I really began to wonder myself if it was more mental than physical. In particular, there did not seem to be any consistency in the "fibers" that are claimed to emanate from the patients' skin.

Ok, it all seems interesting. I have heard of the disease once or twice. So say that this disease is caused by the bacteria that inserts itself into your DNA, is there a treatment? Can antibiotics help? Will a change of diet take care of it? Or is it once you have it you always will?
The all caps part seems to come from a sufferer with the mental part. The other sources sound, at face value, to indicate that this has some factual basis.
Would be interesting to know if this is a result of genetic engineering of our food supply or instead a result of changing demographics bringing in exotic disease we haven't seen before.

This is not possible. It violates "intelligent design".

It violates "irreducible complexity" and "specified complex specificity".

Sorry about the caps, this is the way it was posted:

If I were you, and I were trying to get people to take this information seriously, I might spend the extra time to distill/edit/correct that part of the post - ESPECIALLY if it's the lead-in. The first impression an "all caps" posting leaves with most people is that the poster has become unhinged. I don't think that's the impression you're shooting for...
