Press Release Summary = This compassionate story is revealed for the first time by a
victim who suffered with Morgellons disease for nearly 10 years.

Press Release Body = Las Vegas - Nevada - March 1st, 2007

Connie M, unscripted and unrehearsed, shares a story that surely all Morgellons
sufferers can relate to. A story of her struggled for many years trying desperately
to get help from the medical community for an insidious disease, only to be told
that she has \'Delusions of Parasitosis\' or DOP and that it is \'all in her head\'.
Morgellons Disease or Morgellons Syndrome, as it is sometimes called, is so new that
it is not even recognized by the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) as a disease.
They have promised to investigate Morgellons Syndrome since June of last year, but
has yet to begin their investigation. In fact, the start of their investigations has
been postponed many times.
Morgellons is a horrific disease where the victim feels as though there are animals
crawling under their skin and biting them constantly. Lesions bearing strange
multi-colored fibers form all over their bodies. These fibers appear to be "silica
based", while all life as we know it is "carbon based". Furthermore, these fibers
do not begin to burn until they reach 1700 degrees F, leading to all sorts of rumor
and speculation about their origin. Sufferers also experience chronic fatigue and
\'Brain Fog\' so severe, that most victims not only spend 10 to 20 hours a day
sleeping, but they also can\'t remember what they said 2 minutes ago. These symptoms
are almost always accompanied by depression and hopelessness which intensifies the
tendency for the medical community to draw a conclusion without conducting adequate
research, and has lead several sufferers to suicide.
Connie\'s heroic story is one of fortitude and commitment to finding an effective
treatment before even knowing the name of this debilitating affliction. Through a
friend who\'s involved in the distribution of a product that\'s used in third world
countries to purify drinking water, they stumble upon an extremely effective
treatment. Connie tells of the struggles, the pain and ultimately arriving at a
point where she could say "I am now symptom-free!"
Morgellons disease is reported in every state in the United States, and in most
other countries, predominantly the UK, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand
along with many parts of Asia. To see a map of where Morgellons suffers might

The Medical Profession has already decided that it is \'all in the victims head\' and
Morgellons does not exist. This is precisely what the early AIDS patients
experienced 25 years ago, when these AIDS victims were locked up in mental
institutions because it was \'all in their heads\'; exactly the same thing is
happening to Morgellons victims now.
To make matters worse, Morgellons is seems only being studied at the University of
Oklahoma by Dr. Randy Wymore of the non-profit Morgellons Research Foundation.
www.morgellons.org This Foundation, while under-funded and under-staffed, is
desperately trying to perform real research and patient support until the global
community recognizes this disease and begins to put the resources in place to
discover the cause and cure for Morgellons. In the mean time, it is estimated that
hundreds of thousands of people in the US and millions around the world are infected
by Morgellons.
"If not for the Internet, I don\'t know where these people could go for support",
says Jeff Sohler, founder of MorgellonsHope.com, one of many websites dedicated to
the disease. "I would say that Morgellons is the "First Internet Disease", and that
the Internet will not only provide a "support structure" for victims, but will also
be the vehicle that "raises awareness" of Morgellons. This will help change the way
the people, and more notably, the medical community perceives the disease, which is
the first step to finding a cure."
