A second subject has presented samples and symptoms of the Morgellons condition to me for observation. The results of this work completely and absolutely confirm the internal morphology of at least one form of the fibers that are commonly associated with it. There are also important additional discoveries that establish the urgency of discovering the true nature of this condition. The progress to date remains totally unsatisfactory as this condition represents a public health hazard that has been deliberately unaddressed and undisclosed. The quest for the nature of this condition does not belong in the hands of any single individual, citizen, advocate or health professional; the consequences are far too widespread for that limitation. This is a public issue and must ultimately be addressed as such. The condition may be much more widespread than is commonly understood and there is evidence accumulating to that end. Gratitude is extended to those that have presented numerous important research advances on Morgellons, particularly the laboratory analyses from Dr. Hildegard Staninger. There are other deserving contributors to the current state of knowledge. Unfortunately, the implications of this condition require a more broad-based public and professional medical involvement. It is a fact that government institutions and agencies that are chartered to serve the public interest continue to fail us at a tragic level; the public will eventually be required to take ownership of issues such as this to reach the solutions that are required.
Readers are requested to review the paper entitled Morgellons : First Observations of August 2006 on this site to establish the precedent for the following report. It is the opinion of this researcher that certain discoveries were presented to the public at that time that demanded immediate attention. This researcher does not have the facilities, resources or expertise to make the analyses that have been required for more than one year since the initial disclosures. What I can offer is observational analysis that points to certain needs that must be met if anyone wishes to understand the dynamics of this condition and how it may ultimately affect the public health - almost certainly at the global level. In the absence of additional samples, I have been able to offer no further progress on this issue until now. The need for the understanding of the information in this report is paramount.
One has to ask, exactly what progress has been made on answering certain basic questions since that initial report was filed in August of 2006? Does the condition remain in existence and is the distribution increasing? What is the morphology of the condition and how is it positively identified beyond that of chemical analysis? What is the growth cycle? What exactly are the structures that have previously been observed, measured and described? What is the function of these structures? Are we dealing with biological or artificial forms, or both? What are the biological interactions that are taking place? What observations and analyses have taken place and where are these observations documented? What information does the public have, in a venue that serves the public interest, on methods of mitigation, control or remedy of the condition? What relationship, if any, exists between the fibrous structures that emerge from the body and the sub-micron airborne fibers that have been reported environmentally for several years? The refusal of the Environmental Protection Agency to identify those original samples several years ago continues to haunt us with the current deficiencies; there is increasing evidence of similarity in both form and chemical composition.
The remainder of this paper presents a series of photographs that, once again, portray the reality of this unfortunate condition. The photographs will show a progression from a normal view to a final magnification of approximately 2500x. Normal visible light microscopy has an upper limit of roughly 1000x to 2000x; modified modest digital equipment has been developed to provide these images. Several different fibers from the same subject were examined in the writing of this report.
It is only at the highest magnification available that the true nature of this condition even begins to emerge. Attention will be called again to meet some immediate requirements for identication and further examination. It is inexcusable to allow this information to lanquish for another year without more dramatic progress and involvment of medical professionals. Those so-called professionals that continue to categorize this reality as "delusional" are a tremendous disservice to the public welfare, and they are not deserving of any further discussion. The time is already late to get on with the job that needs to be done. It is to be mentioned that at least three other individuals have recently contacted me that show or claim identical physical symptoms; none of these individuals had contact with one another and I did not seek out their inquiries. I have no medical expertise and I claim none. I am offering a series of observations that demonstrate the urgent need to protect the public health and welfare, and it is my hope that you will act upon it....
